Green space exposure is beneficial to the physical and mental health of community residents, but spatial distribution green inequitable. Due data availability, equality or justice studies typically use administrative units as contextual areas evaluate spaces exposure, which macro-scale may lead biased estimates it ignores fine-scale (e.g., gardens, lawns), that residents are more frequently exp...

Green open space is an important part of the natural–social ecosystem, providing ecological services that maintain healthy development cities and society. Residents’ perceptions these benefits are largely related to their social-economic background as well familiarity with green spaces in neighborhoods. Understanding residents’ will contribute significantly urban planning by practical informati...

While URGE, GreenKeys, and SWITCH are already completed, CyberParks is in its initial steps. The projects URGE and GreenKeys focus on green landscapes. In URGE, a set of criteria was created to assess urban green spaces, and thus increase their potential for improving the quality of life in cities. GreenKeys addressed the creation and adoption of green space strategies as a shared vision toward...

Green spaces in residential communities are important yet understudied features of the urban ecological system. While large urban parks and remnant wildlands in urban areas tend to receive public attention from conservation and management perspectives, less is known about the importance of spatial and ecological characteristics of the community-scale green space. This study investigates natural...

Urban environment has functioned not only for ecological reason but also for socioeconomic function, due to this reason extraction of urban vegetation in highly dense urban environment becomes more important to understand the inhabitants’ satisfaction of urban green space. With a medium resolution of satellite imagery, the precision is very low. We used high resolution of WorldView-2 satellite ...

Urbanism directly affects the hydrological cycle. One of the ways to manage runoffs in urban areas that is considered nowadays is green roof creation. Green roof is mainly created in humid and semi-humid areas, and efficiency of green roofs in arid and semi-arid areas has attracted less attention. In the current study, to evaluate the effect of green roof in arid and semi-arid to reduce runoff,...
