Abstract
Actual demands of parks by teachers and inhabitants at suburban regions were confirmed through questionnaires. Their expectation to parks is the place for ‘nature’, where wildlife inhabits. Teachers expect parks as the place for environmental education. They can not satisfy, however, the present situation of parks around them, in particular, teachers complain the species composition of planted trees. The result of actual-vegetation survey at parks shows that a half of tree species are introduced, or artificially modified plants for gardening; planted trees do not reflect regional vegetation. We propose a concept to reconstruct parks to reflect the demands of teachers and inhabitants, and the natural characteristics of the region from an ecological perspective.
