4.5.2 Troubles / Disturbances It seems that people feel comfortable in the parks because only 8.9 % mentioned that they “feel disturbed” by something. In detail, it can be said that the higher the age of park users, the more often they complain about disturbance (see Table 4.13). 8.9 % seems to be a ‘nice result’. However the high number of referred “missing facilities” (see previous chapter) Table 4.13. Level of feeling disturbed among Hanoi park users There is something disturbing me in the park. indicates a certain level of dissatisfaction. Age 10-14 5.3% “Missing something” together with Groups 15-29 7.3% “feeling disturbed” can quickly become a (years) much larger group than a few “annoyed 30-54 8.7% and unsatisfied” park users. 55+ 12.5% Total 8.9% N= 2141 (Own survey, 2010-2011) (see LUONG/STEINGRUBE 2012) Furthermore, compared with a study about a park in Hong Kong this is already a high level of dissatisfaction. In Kowloon park in Hongkong the average rate is only 1 % (WONG and DOMROES 2004: 273). That result might not be comparable directly because Kowloon park is a “high level” park, meaning it was established by high investment and is well maintained. But nevertheless it indicates that the Hanoi level of 8.9 % should be taken seriously. Thus, the complaints given by respondents shall be analysed here in more detail to get an idea of which possibly growing problems have to be prevented. The differences in the share of complaints over the four parks (see figure 4.31) seem to give a small hint already: Thong Nhat and Le Nin park have higher complaint levels than Bo Ho in particular. Although Bo Ho is located in the most crowded and noisy center, visitors there complained less than in Thong Nhat which is so much larger and surrounded by noisy streets as well. So the size of a park is not an explanation and the urban neighbourhood (spatial embedding) is also not. 100
