According to the research report “Single-topic study of ecological awareness and behavior of Polish residents” conducted on behalf of the Ministry of Climate and Environment in 2020:
- Almost half of city residents (48%) believe that the most important problem in city centers is too few green areas,
- Younger people (age range 18-44) more often complained about too few green areas,
- The most important facilities located in the vicinity of residence include: a park or other urban greenery (61%),
- Four out of ten city residents spend time in a park or other green area several times
- a week, and almost 3 out of 10 respondents do it once a week (28%).
- The vast majority of respondents agree that the area of green areas should be increased during possible revitalization (86%).

- as the nature and profile of the garden,
- contact the garden community/garden representatives,
- join the garden community.
Conslusion
- Research shows that in each age group a high percentage of people would like to get involved in creating and taking care of existing green areas. Therefore, accessibility
- is particularly important so that the digital product does not exclude potential recipients,
- Due to the wide profile of the recipients, I gave up the initial idea of creating a mobile application in favor of a website,
- When designing a website, it will be particularly important to follow the principles
- of accessibility, e.g.: maintaining contrasts, simple navigation, clearly visible
- interactive elements.
