Increased number of contribution focusing people-natural environment relations (Gifford, 1995) Increased interest for sustainability-related issues: environmental psychology of “sustainable development” (Bonnes & Bonaiuto, 2002) Concern for quality of life in large urban settlements: nature in the city and urban sustainability Environmental psychological research and the natural environment

General positive character of nature experience (Hartig & Evans, 1993) Social psychological factors: Development of shared environmental concern (Dunlap et al., 2000) Affective factors Green areas predicting residential attachment and satisfaction (Bonaiuto et al., 1999) Functional factors Healthy and stress-recovering properties of contact with nature (Ulrich, 1984; Hartig et al., 1991) why should we expect urban inhabitants’ positive evaluations of nature in the city?

MAIN RESEARCH QUESTION WHICH ARE THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE DIFFERENT FACTORS INFLUENCING RESIDENT’S EVALUATIONS OF URBAN GREEN AREAS?

THE PRESENT STUDY MAIN AIMS Exploring the relation between resident’s evaluations and use-frequency of urban green spaces and different social psychological variables Developing an Italian version of various measuring instruments widely used in E-B literature
