Ethnic Differences in Satisfaction with the Attractiveness of Tropical Urban Parks
Abstract Urban park area is a potential resource for urban populations to experience nature in cities, including tropical cities. Differences in interests among people of different ethnicities have been debated in tropical multi-ethnic countries during the early stages of outdoor recreation research. However, the extent to which ethnicity is related to satisfaction with components of urban park environments remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the satisfaction of different ethnic groups with natural components of tropical urban parks. A total of 2110 respondents from three main ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese, and Indian) were surveyed based on non-probability convenience sampling at six major urban parks in Peninsular Malaysia. Our results showed that park features and several environmental factors affected their satisfaction with the urban parks. All ethnic groups in the urban parks shared a common pattern of park use. However, there were significant differences in the effects of natural landscapes on visitor satisfaction. The necessity of having upgraded facilities in natural landscapes indirectly suggests the importance of balancing nature conservation with green spaces in urban landscape design. This study contributes to the theoretical discussion on green spaces in urban cities and balancing nature conservation with green spaces in urban landscape design.
