Scientific monograph is about the set of analytical tools and practical methods which aim to achieve sustainable and long term solutions in planning and management of cities and towns. It represents mostly the contributions of European researchers interested in bottom up approach in urban planning and design. B. Goličnik is the author of the chapter 17: GIS behavioural mapping for provision of interactive empirical knowledge and better place design, which is placed in the second part of the book entitled Analysis for the sustainable city.

The paper is concerned with urban parks and their use(r)s. It focuses on usage-spatial relationships from two different angles: actual uses mapped in places, and designers’ views and beliefs about usage and design of urban parks. However, the paper shows that designers’ beliefs and awareness about uses in places, in some aspects, differ from actual use. It stresses the use of empirical knowledge about usage-spatial relationships, which can be gained by using observation and GIS behavioural mapping.

The paper focuses on the methods which enable collecting data for provision of better design as it would otherwise be produced. Thus it addresses the properties of places which are hidden in physical structure of places. The method observation and behavioural mapping can help in reading the dynamic patterns of spatial occupancies of places, whereas the method interviews and cognitive mapping elucidates users’ cognition and perception of places and their connectivity in mental image. Both methods were applied in a case study of Kongresni trg in Ljubljana.

This paper is concerned with spatial relationships between usage and the physical structure of city parks It focuses on usability and the spatial capacity of places. It discusses the actual uses mapped in places, and addresses designers’ views and beliefs about usage and design of urban parks. It stresses the use of empirical knowledge about usage-spatial relationships, which can be gained by using observation and behavioural mapping, in decision-making processes for green strategies and parks design.
