Abstract :One of the biggest problems facing urban citizens today is time. In this intense and fast-paced environment, parks are among the most important areas that meet humanity\\\'s need to stop and rest. Parks are urban open and green spaces that can appeal to all users. The problems experienced with rapid urbanization significantly affect the physical and mental health of the public. Studies emphasize that urban open and green spaces improve quality of life and contribute significantly to people\\\'s physical and mental well-being. While studies focus on the planning, design, implementation, and management phases of open and green spaces, the usage and post-usage evaluation phases are often neglected. However, taking into account the thoughts and desires of park users (children, youth, seniors, etc.) is an important process for the effective management of the area. This research will contribute to identifying the landscape quality of parks, specifically focusing on the New City Park in Isparta\\\'s Çünür Neighborhood. It will provide local governments and administrators with insights into which quality criteria to prioritize when improving multifunctional green and open spaces within the context of sustainable development. Furthermore, it will offer an opportunity to evaluate these prioritized criteria for future landscape designs. Thus, through the exchange of knowledge, it aims to provide an effective guide for sustainable and user-oriented landscape design and management by adopting park quality criteria as a reference for strategic spatial planning approaches in other cities as well.
