As large-scale urban public spaces, they both have green and beautiful environment. The Haixinsha Island at the south end of the Flower City Square is the hosting place of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of 2010 Asian Games. Flower City Square has become a famous "urban living room"in Guangzhou and even in China. From October 2001 to March 2002, the Chinese 4th Garden Expo was held in the Pearl River Park. These two urban public spaces possess similar location, scale and green environment, but the using frequencies of these two places are quite different. Now, using on-site research and questionnaire surveys, the collected data are statistically analyzed by frequency analysis, the paired sample parametric test and one-way ANOVA analysis methods of statistical analysis, in order to explore the differences between their satisfaction evaluation of ordinary citizens, as well as the factors of using frequency of large-scale urban public space.
