چکیده

The utilization of urban green zones forms a major part of urban sustainability in the context of the improvement of quality of life of the citizens. Within the policy for sustainable management of urban green zones, the tools that are used effectively are new technologies such as web databases, web DSS, GIS and environmental impact prediction model. This paper presents the geodatabase, which was used as a background for the GIS and the ENVI-MET application in order to develop city microclimatic maps. Microclimatic maps will constitute a very important tool for the decisionmaking process in urban forest policy. The results will be presented as a spatial imaging system, through a software development for the GIS platform where the effects will be illustrated. The integrated web platform for the management of urban green zones constitutes an important step for the maintenance and improvement of quality of life in urban areas, the environmental sustainability, the environmental information dissemination, the improvement of urban planning and the web-DSS utilization for the integrated management of urban green zones.
