Abstract

Public parks act as a catalyst for assuring the enhancement of life quality and community
performance since they are considered as an integral part of the urban fabric. Parks have a
vital performance in creating communities of lasting values. They bring nature to the city,
enable social interaction, and create environmentally and economically resilient
communities. Vitality of parks is related to the park's strength, interaction of users at
different times and the variety of facilities. Vitality has four dominant factors: accessibility,
legibility, convenience, and distinctiveness. The diurnal and nocturnal state of the parks is
the reason behind its dynamic vitality, as well as the difference in seasons, and this proves
that time is a relevant dimension in analyzing the vitality of public parks, which forms the
research problem. Therefore, the research aims to determine the impact of time on vitality of
parks in relation to the factors' physical and social attributes. The study focuses on vitality
factors and time impact on each one, resulting in different park patterns. The researcher
concluded a framework that complies the impact of time on the four vitality parameters with
their attributes, then applied it on an analytical example of public parks.
