Abstract
Trees and shrubs in urban greenery play a wide range of roles: functional, aesthetic, social, ecological and economic and are considered an important feature of every city. In accordance with the data in the official records on areas included in Urban Development Plan of the city of Bihać, both the planned and existing green spaces account for around 553 hectares of urban land. The specific objective of the paper is an attitudinal research on social function and overall status of greenery and the City Park in Bihać. The survey research was conducted in January 2018 on the territory of the City of Bihać. According to research findings, the respondents pointed out the City Park as their favourite green space. They advocate the increase in green spaces in the City and they point out the need to raise the awareness of the general public about the importance of green spaces. They believe that the citizens also need to be involved in the maintenance of the greenery in the City Park. The problem of poor lighting in the park in question was primarily emphasised, as well as a lack of park benches and litter bins and the onset of vandalism.
