description Green spaces play an important role in promoting physical activity and public health, and so it is vital they be equally accessible to all residents. Nonetheless, Slovenia has insufficient high-quality spatial data to assess the provision of urban green spaces for physical activity. This article develops the concept of green space provision in Slovenian towns and other settlements. It defines the concept of provision and presents a new method for identifying green spaces suitable for concentrated forms of physical activity. The method is based on a combination of spatial data on the occurrence and function of green spaces, allowing a sufficiently reliable identification of green spaces suitable for concentrated forms of physical activity that can also form the basis for assessing the provision of such spaces to develop relevant indicators. The discussion section highlights the lack of comprehensive and high-quality spatial data to make such assessments in Slovenia, and the need for cross-sector collaboration to improve the management and planning of urban areas. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for a harmonized expert approach to collecting these data and establishing long-term stakeholder collaboration to improve the accessibility and quality of green spaces to promote physical activity in Slovenia.
