Evaluation of urban green spaces in Bratislava
Current land-use patterns in Slovak towns are undergoing a rapid change. The ratio of built-up spaces to green spaces is increasing. Green areas in the urban environment need to be preserved for their recreational, hygienic and aesthetic functions. A further reason is that green areas serve also eco...
