Abstract

Urban open spaces are places located and designed within the context of urban and landscape design that provide to people opportunities in the urban environment. parks has been a major focus in promoting places for relaxation and recreation.

Thus it is necessary to identify the effective factors on the reduction of this phenomenon as a new approach to emphasize the new concept “Design against vandalism “. The purpose of this paper is to analyze vandal reasons to find design factors and proof that applied designer suggestions can be a solution to face this phenomenon towards landscape elements in urban open spaces.
