Abstract
An online questionnaire survey was conducted for users of six representative city parks in residential regions within the Tokyo metropolitan area to investigate the relation between users' activity in city parks and health-related QOL. The results of the chi-square test indicated that users' activity was significantly affected by the park' s environment, such as the quality of nature and facility, and by users' attributes, such as sex and age. In addition, walks, nature observation, and conversation significantly influenced users' health-related QOL. Therefore, the park's environment and users' attributes, including their health status, are related to their activity in city parks.
