The information obtained from the analysis gives us a picture of public life in the village, what age groups use public spaces as a percentage of men and women, what activities are taking place in public places and about the loading of public spaces. In view of the landscape planning praxis the obtained information are useful: a) for location of roads and paved areas and character of their surface, b) the number, shape and location of rest areas and their equipmentx) in the design of active sites and their target groups such as children's playgrounds, playgrounds for teenagers, or sport areas for seniors, d) selection and location of plants and the overall visual modification site of public space. Gathered information, and the outcome of this paper may serve for the local authorities, residents, businesses and other stakeholders as possible source of data for designing qualitative living space.
