In this study, open and green spaces of Antalya city of Turkey were examined by using multi criteria analyses. The analyses done in the research are: land use change, existing public green spaces, existing green infrastructure, green space user preferences and opinions, municipal green space policies and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). A green space planning strategy was proposed according to the results of the multi criteria analyses and open-green space planning principles. Active green space per capita in Antalya was determined as 4.2 m2. It was determined that active green spaces increased from year to year, but the distribution of these spaces throughout the city were not homogenous. It was argued that developing a green space system, which would connect open and green spaces with artificial and natural landscape corridors, would provide multiple benefits to Antalya and that the city s physical, natural and ecological features were proper for forming a green space system in Antalya. A user survey was conducted in the context of the study to get the opinions and preferences of green space users, and the results showed that the users generally found the green spaces in Antalya to be inadequate.
