Sažetak
In the Republic of Croatia there is a lack of studies related to analysis of impact of urban parks on inhabitants’quality of life and their perception of horticultural plants in parks and frequently visited sports recreation centres. The main aim of this paper is to determine if students of Faculty of Agriculture perceive horticultural plants during their outdoor activities provided by the Jarun Sports and Recreation Centre. The second aim is to analyse the students' observations of horticultural plants and the need to draw up orientation maps with horticultural plants alongside the bicycle and roller skating path at Jarun. The study was based on the analysis of the anonymous questionnaire designed for this experimental study. According to the analysis of the students’ answers, students prefer to participate in outdoor sports activities surrounded by greenery. The majority of students has suggested planting fruit trees, magnolias and lime trees as well as arranging the shrubbery alongside the sports paths. The practical result of this paper are orientation maps of the Jarun Recreation Sports Centre with drawn ornamental woody plants alongside the bicycle and roller skating paths which can be used for multiple purposes. The results of this study
confirmed the need to carry out more studies in Croatia related to the impact of horticultural plants in recreational parks on the quality of visitors’ life and the need to continue to analyse the application of orientation maps in the practical part of teaching.
