As important public urban spaces, parks can play a key role in addressing urbanization tensions, in particular nature-deficit disorders. This paper initially surveys theories regarding public urban spaces to determine factors affecting their popularity. On this basis, a knowledge-based framework comprised of criteria and measures is developed for assessing the popularity and use of parks. This framework is then applied to major public parks in Tehran metropolitan area. It is hypothesized that employing this framework will contribute to a holistic urban knowledge including both explicit knowledge and tacit knowing. Factors affecting popularity and use of public parks are hence categorized as: (i) users’ socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics; (ii) the qualitative and quantitative aspects of parks in response to the user needs; (iii) management and design aspects of parks; and (iv) changes in function and use.
