Abstract
ABSTRACT

Aims:



One of the negative consequences of technological growth in contemporary human life is the reduction of interaction with the environment and the inadequate formation ofI landscapes, where human-environment interaction is the foundation. This decline in interaction leads to a decrease in social participation, lower quality of life, and psychological and emotional damage to individuals in urban settings. Thus, this article aims to explore and identify the parameters through which technology and media can serve to enhance interactive landscapes, particularly in urban parks.





Methods:



To achieve this goal, the research follows an analytical-descriptive approach, utilizing library studies to extract the concepts and components of landscape and human-environment interaction. Subsequently, a questionnaire was designed based on users' preferences regarding the use of urban parks. The questionnaire assessed the impact of technological tools and their applications on citizen satisfaction and engagement.





Findings:



The analysis reveals that urban dwellers are open to the integration of technology into urban landscapes, particularly in parks, and that such tools may help increase both the frequency of visits and citizens' presence. However, the key finding is that a majority of respondents expressed reluctance to abandon their traditional cultural values, indicating a preference for the localization of technology to suit local contexts.





Conclusion:



The findings suggest that technology and media-based tools can significantly enhance the responsiveness and interactivity of urban environments, particularly in public spaces like parks. These tools can be recognized as effective solutions for fostering diversity and enriching urban life.
