  ABSTRACT: Green spaces provide a variety of ecosystem services. Urban green spaces are particularly valuable because they provide cultural services to urban residents. This study examined people’s opinions of cultural ecosystem services in Ramna Park, Dhaka, Bangladesh. We examined the cultural ecosystem services that green places provide by surveying visitors in the study area about which cultural services they are frequently getting and what their primary activities are in such green areas, to learn how urban dwellers utilize these spaces. Since the park at Ramna is conveniently accessible to the residents of Dhaka city due to its structural arrangement, it contributes significantly to the provision of cultural ecosystem services. The findings of this research indicate that individuals discover diverse cultural values not only in areas with superior ecosystems but also in their regular surroundings. This research has important implications as it uses a survey technique to quantify contemporary cultural services.
