Abstract

The most common diseases: influenza, acute viral infections (ARI), acute bronchitis, and some bacterial infections: tuberculosis and pneumonia were chosen as criteria indicators of public health, because we could get a fairly large sample size for them, as well as determine the impact of green spaces on public health. The results do not show any clear trends. In some cases, the relationship between green space and respiratory disease in children is reversed. Factors such as social composition of the population and air pollution also seem to play a significant role. In further analysis, it is necessary to increase the sample size and the number of parameters investigated, especially with regard to plantations.
