摘要：Urban wastelands may often be perceived as dysfunctional and
unattractive, however they always seem to have environmental and
sociological values, which encourage people to act spontaneously in their
use. Undeveloped areas are important places in the structure of inhabiting
landscape as a substitute for “natural” landscape. Therefore, the aim of the
paper is to describe residents’ aesthetical preferences for urban wasteland
according to the image (type of scenery) and function of this kind of urban
greenery. The survey was carried out on 13 selected case studies of
brownfields, neglected greenery and undeveloped areas in Warsaw. The
users’ aesthetical preferences as well as the behaviour of residents, which
have been treated as a neighbourhood greenery, were examined and
compared. A basis of the comparison was differences in the image of the
visiting landscape, perceived as different types of scenery. The methods
used included Visitor Employed Photography and territorial markers and
a physical traces inventory. The results show the various recreational uses,
thus the great potential of wasteland green areas. It also confirms the
growing acceptability of free vegetation aesthetics, while also presenting
differences in the choice of a particular scenery by different groups of users.
