Parklands, culture and communities: strategic research for building social, cultural and environmental capital in urban parklands

公园，文化和社区是公园管理者和学术研究人员之间的创新合作。它将使人们更深入地了解文化和种族多样性如何影响社区使用城市公园的方式，以及他们如何在这些公园中相互作用。该项目最初侧重于悉尼郊区乔治河上的四个群体：土著、盎格鲁、越南和阿拉伯语社区。 然后，对公园使用情况的研究将成为开发最佳做法研究、规划和解释资源的基础，以协助其他地点的公园管理人员与不断变化的当地用户更有效地合作，从而加强城市公园中积极的跨文化关系。

Parklands, Culture and Communities is an innovative collaboration between park managers and academic researchers. It will result in deeper knowledge about how cultural and ethnic diversity affects the way communities use urban parks and how they interact with each other in those parks. The project focuses initially on four groups on the Georges River in suburban Sydney: the Indigenous, Anglo, Vietnamese and Arabic-speaking communities. A study of their use of parklands will then be the basis for developing best-practice research, planning and interpretation resources to assist park managers in other locations to collaborate more effectively with their changing local users, thus enhancing positive cross-cultural relations in urban parks.
