Cover Story: Visiting urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) has been associated with positive effects on health and wellbeing. However, UGBS can vastly differ in quality, and very little is known about the preferences of different populations. We investigated UGBS usage and preferences in Edinburgh, UK, using participatory GIS methods. Differing perceptions of UGBS were apparent. The image shows numerous UGBS which some respondents intentionally avoid, while others intentionally visit, demonstrating strong differences in preference. We also identified differences in UGBS perceptions across different demographic groups. Our study suggests that identifying and understanding differences in UGBS preferences is an important step for maximising the health and wellbeing benefits of UGBS for all of society. View this paper
