Parks and open space areas management in Saudia Arabia cities

park management, Saudi Arabia, parks, parks and green open space policies

The concept of parks and urban green space areas can be traced back to ancient times. However, modern technology, urban growth and the population explosion have all had effects on the way parks are now designed and managed. As an arid country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia presents a special challenge to park administrators and maintenance experts, for the Saudi government recognizes the importance of green space to human development. Nonetheless, the lack of irrigation water and the combination, in some cities, of old and new urban planning schemes has made it difficult to implement efficient and pleasant green areas for citizens' enjoyment. The German city of Hannover has been taken as a contrast to the Saudi examples in order to compare German and Saudi organization systems and present possibilities for the improvement of Saudi green space management and maintenance.

This thesis concentrates on an analysis of the management system used in Saudi cities regarding parks and open space areas. Its objective is to investigate the situation of parks and open space areas in four selected Saudi cities and the policies and regulations which organize the management of green space areas in Saudi Arabia.
