About this survey and your privacy

Welcome to the research project aiming to conceptualise and create the first intersectional feminist park.

The Feminist Park Project imagines a green, intersectional feminist urban space in Berlin: a radical space for equality that centers voices pushed to the margins and helps make public space more inclusive. When women and girls can move freely through green space, wider society benefits.

Access to and use of urban green spaces, and the health benefits they offer, can be shaped by gendered conditions. A 2022 systematic review found indications that women may benefit from urban greenery while being less likely to use it in some settings. The review also notes that relatively few studies examine whether mental-health benefits are equal for women and men, along with limitations and inconsistent use of sex and gender terminology. The authors describe that some parks prioritize men’s needs and preferences while considering women’s needs less: “while men are well-catered for in these spaces … women are often left out in their own needs and preferences” (Fernández Núñez et al., 2022, p. 5). These findings motivate this project; they are not universal claims about every park or every woman.

We aim to center the experiences of FINTA people, people with experience of migration, LGBTQIA+ communities, and BIPoC people. FINTA is used here for women, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender people who experience discrimination under patriarchy. Usage varies; this is the project’s working definition. BIPoC means Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

There are three survey blocks, taking around 18 minutes: Block 1 — Imagining the Feminist Park in Berlin (15 minutes); Block 2 — Demographic information (2 minutes); Block 3 — Stay informed and future research (1 minute). The estimate should be checked with participants during a pilot.
