Urban parks are vital public spaces and green spaces that offer a multitude of benefits. The presence of others in these spaces, however, introduces a complex interplay, influencing the natural and social benefits, such as privacy, restorative experiences, social relationships, and a sense of community, in different ways. Understanding these complex relationships requires bridging the divergent narratives between environmental design and nature and health and outdoor recreation. This dissertation addresses this critical gap and examines the multifaceted and contextdependent roles of the presence of people in urban parks by drawing on diverse disciplinary perspectives and employing multiple methodological approaches, including theoretical synthesis, virtual reality, eye tracking, and qualitative methods.Chapter 2 develops an integrated theoretical framework that bridges social psychology, environmental psychology, and practice-based fields like parks and outdoor recreation management, tourism management, and environmental design. This framework classifies the impacts of human presence into perceptual, behavioral, cognitive-emotional, and symbolic domains, providing a comprehensive lens for understanding the diverse ways in which human presence can impact park users' experiences.Chapter 3 employs eye-tracking and virtual reality to investigate the effects of visitor density on visual attention and specific urban park experience outcomes. Thirty-seven participants viewed 360° videos from four locations in well-managed parks in the Southeastern U.S. The findings reveal that higher visitor densities negatively impact willingness to visit and perceived restorativeness, while increasing perceived safety among female participants. The eye-tracking data indicate that higher visitor densities draw visual attention to people, and this change in attention can explain the impacts of density on willingness to visit.Chapter 4 adopts a qualitative approach, exploring the diverse perceived functions of urban parks and the impact of other people on those functions from the past experiences of 26 university students with diverse cultural backgrounds. Thematic analysis identifies four broader park functions: being alone, appreciating nature, being with others, and appreciating urban-cultural life, as well as nuanced impacts of people's presence. Factors such as spatial layout, the self-focused behavior of others, personal characteristics, stress levels, and privacy preferences are considered crucial in understanding these dynamics.The dissertation concludes by discussing the complexities surrounding the impacts of others' presence. It highlights the needs for developing a new concept beyond crowding, improving simulation, and addressing diverse and dynamic individual preferences, situational norms, and social milieu. Beyond the focus on urban parks, the dissertation also demonstrates the potential of eye tracking and multiple methods to enrich the understanding of social-physical contexts on environmental experiences.
