In view of the importance of urban lakes, the study attempts to gain an insight on the understanding of public recreationists on the influence of lakes towards their quality of life. Questionnaires were developed to record their perspectives. The questionnaires were focused on the most important benefits that respondents derived from visits to the lake, lake contribution factors and factors pertaining to their personal relation to the lake. Findings suggest that urban lakes promote positive lifestyles, offer spaces for physical activities and reduce emotional stress levels. Lakes need to be properly managed, where maintenance and repairs are performed regularly, so that public recreationists feel comfortable and safe. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85164955709&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-99-1403-6_18&partnerID=40&md5=5b33b99a760ef56540ad9b0d8be6ec5b id_number: 10.1007/978-981-99-1403-6₁₈ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering volume: 334 LN pagerange: 243-253 refereed: TRUE citation: Ahmad Shafee, F.A. and Shafiq, N. and Farhan, S.A.
