Abstract
The investigation pretends to show and discuss the conclusions of the first studies carried out about the image of park that younger generations living in big cities have. The countries of Spain and Japan have been selected as an example of western and eastern culture that can be compared in order to make similarities and differences more easily come to surface in a study that aims to transcend local focus. Therefore, intensive and creative thinking can be developed through the analysis to point out conclusions about the interaction between globalization, national, communal and personal interests and the specific part that each on them represent in the forming of the concept of park. Younger generations have been surveyed in a first step in order to stress and prioritize the emerging perception of next future adult inhabitants. It should be emphasized that the image they conceive is considered as highly relevant as they mirror the real assimilated approach to sustainability and therefore, the data can be very helpful to predict and adequate future responses in a nowadays critical historical time. Moreover, they being very active members of social communities, their understanding of public natural spaces becomes a relevant characteristic that influences current social habits and will shape coming behaviors in the path of a changing cultural field. Therefore, the intention is not so much to deepen in a comparison of formal and designing affairs of parks as to emphasize the role they have in urban perception and their consequence as social links.
