ABSTRACT

With the acceleration of urbanization, the design and ecological functions of urban waterfront areas have become increasingly important. This study analyses public preferences for waterfront ecological spaces in Wuhan's East Lake Ecological Park through field observations and surveys. The results show that waterfront ecological spaces offer ecological functions, aesthetic value, and socio-economic benefits, with the public favouring spaces that combine natural and artificial elements. Factors such as plant diversity and the completeness of public facilities influence public satisfaction, while the depth and quality of public participation need improvement. This study provides a reference for urban planners and designers in creating sustainable and healthy waterfront landscapes and offers a scientific basis for optimizing public participation pathways.
