4.2.3 Comparison of the course of the days of Hanoi parks and Berlin parks
As there is a published course of a day for park visitors in Berlin (KONSALT et al. 2001)
the results can be compared: In Berlin as well as in Hanoi the biggest peak is in the
afternoon (see figure 4.8; 43 % of the whole day). However, Hanoians already visit parks in
the early morning (7 % and 18 % of park users in the parks from 4-6 a.m. and 6-9 a.m.),
while there are 0 % and 1.4 % of park users respectively in Berlin parks. In contrast, in the
early evening (6-9 p.m.) people in Berlin visit parks a little more often.
