Though the residents of Bucharest have a variety of parks at their disposal, previous studies indicated that they are not fully aware of these green spaces. This project focuses on two green spaces in particular: Văcărești Natural Park and Băneasa Forest. In collaboration with the Văcărești Natural Park Association, a nonprofit citizen group dedicated to protecting and educating about nature parks, we aimed to outline a mobile application to educate the public about these spaces. Through surveys and a literature review, we determined that the public of Bucharest would find features educating about wildlife, trails, maps, and events most helpful in a nature app and incorporated those into our outline before gaining feedback through focus groups and surveys with park volunteers.
