The purpose of this thesis is to present how recreation effects the pollution and degradation of green areas in Ljubljana. At the start of the thesis, the methods of work is presented and in the continuation of it, the research of pollution and degradation on all three chosen green areas is analysed. One part of the research is the real state determined by field work and observation, whereas the second part is composed of information gathered from the survey that was made to analyse the opinion of people who recreate and exercise on the green areas in Ljubljana. Golovec and Rožnik show more signs of degradation, due to higher popularity amongst people, whereas Ljubljana castle is more polluted than the other two green areas, mostly because of people who use these green areas because they must walk across them to reach their goal.
