Abstract

Xining is a city with the largest population on the Tibetan Plateau, where minority ethnic groups reside together. In this study, citizens’ experiences and impressions in open space have been examined in the city areas of Xining. The objective has been set to clarify differences of activities and impressions in the open space among various ethnic groups. Through this study, a preliminary survey (n=38) was conducted with university students to define survey items, and the responses for the final survey were collected from the total of 724 respondents, including 315 students. The counts for each ethnic group are: 158 Mongolian, 129 Tibetan, 303 Han, and 124 Hui. As a result, common responses to activities in open space were as following: Going for a walk (61%), exercising (28%), enjoying flower blooming (24%), and climbing mountains (23%). Among the students, a variance was detected in activities by gender; however, no significant variance was recognized by ethnic group. Among the others, variance was detected by ethnic group in activities and usage frequency. In Xining, diverse activities were detected among the citizens who are not university students.
