This quantitative research was conducted by a survey distributed to 400 adults who live in Bangkok. The results show that the samples had a positive attitude towards going to a park to exercise to get healthy rather than improve their body image. It also shows that media can encourage engagement with green spaces as well as share their experience through online media and television because these clearly portray benefits of green spaces which in turn motivates concern about the environment.
Index Terms—Green spaces, people’s attitudes toward media.
