While considerable numbers of studies have been done on user needs and conflicts in open space, no single document integrates all of this knowledge and makes it available to professionals, students and researchers. This article aims to review and synthesize the knowledge addressing  basic user needs that include comfort, relaxation, passive and active engagements, privatization of public space <br />etc. Also gives some suggestions for reducing conflict among various groups competing for the use of  open space in order to be created successful urban open spaces. More researches in the form of new case studies needed to show how user needs can be <br />effectively translated into design. Programming, planning, design and management based <br />on human needs will be essential to the future development of open spaces as well as the <br />growth of the professions designing for open spaces. </font> </span> </font> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Artvin Çoruh University}
