Abstract

Gardens are considered one of the most prominent land use in cities

in the present time. They form a high percentage in new cities’ plans in all

modern countries. The purpose of establishing parks is to find appropriate

green areas for entertainment, while most cities suffer from environmental

pollution.

This study aims to identify the pattern of the geographical distribution in

the city of Hail in relation to the geographical distribution of the population

densities in city neighbourhoods. In addition, it aims to calculate the average

share of individuals in the existing gardens in the city, as well as the nature

of variation in the number and spaces of gardens in the city neighbourhoods.

The importance of the study arises from Hail’s having a great

constructional development in the present time which came as a result of

establishing Hail University and due to the establishment of the industrial

zone. According to the aims mentioned previously, the results of the study will

hopefully be an important database for Hail’s city planners.

The study used the descriptive analytical approach in analyzing digital

and tabular data of Hail Municipality. Statistical techniques were used to

identify the geographical distribution pattern for parks and the size of

concentration in the distribution. Finally, Chi Square, Lorenz Curve and

Parson Correlation were used to show the relation between the parks’

geographical distribution and the population density.

The study has found that 73.3% of parks in Hail have excellent and good

level of services. However, 79.9% of Gardens concentrate in an area no

more than 12.8% from the total city area, which confirms the concentration

phenomenon.

The study recommends the necessity of paying more attention in

establishing Gardens that distribute in all neighbourhoods of Hail city.

Moreover, there should be a focus on improving all kinds of services in public

Gardens in order to have specialised gardens that include educational and

cultural centres.
