The impact of species composition and spatial structure of urban green spaces on biodiversity

In this thesis, avifauna in a town has been determined in detail, particularly the influence of the structure of urban green spaces on diversity of bird species. The study was conducted in a small spa town. We examined the influence of urban-rural gradient, density of buildings, and species composition and spatial structure of vegetation on the composition of the avifauna. We also assessed what social benefit for residents and visitors of the spa town comes from birdsong. The second part of this thesis deals with urban greenery in terms of positive impact on human well-being. The survey is applied to the chateau parks, especially visitor´s satisfaction, their ability to perceive diversity, their preferences, and evaluation of elements in the park
