Abstract:

The analytical framework of the study is qualitative which has been conducted through both primary and secondary research. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 residents of Dhaka on Google survey using simple random sampling. The resulting data from their responses have been used to compare and analyse the perceptional differences of residents from Dhaka South and Dhaka North. Key informant interviews with experts on anthropology and urban planning were conducted to get specialised knowledge on the research topic. Dhaka South residents are more aware of the chronic illnesses faced due to the lack of green spaces than the residents from Dhaka north. Despite the long distances from their homes, they frequent green spaces more comparatively and look forward to more green spaces around them. Northern residents reported that, they do not get enough time to visit green spaces and are unsure of its growth alongside Dhaka’s. Both regions are willing to volunteer to maintain and advocate for green spaces. The study suggests that, residents from both the regions are interested to having more green space, and they appreciate its positive impacts on their health.
