Urban parks have significant cooling effects, which can both mitigate the urban heat is-land effect and are crucial to sustainable development of human habitat. Although studies been conducted explore influence park morphology on parks, they not sufficiently in depth. Therefore, this paper took 117 central city Chengdu as research objects based perspective quantitative classification morphology...

A major planning effort for Chicago’s largest park provided an opportunity to examine outdoor recreation use patterns and preferences among a racially and ethnically diverse clientele. Results from on-site surveys of 898 park users (217 Black, 210 Latino, 182 Asian, and 289 White) showed that park users shared a core set of interests, preferences, and concerns about the park and its management....

We describe procedural methods we have developed to automatically create layouts for non-formal parks and gardens. Given the topography of the parkland, we have created algorithms for automatically creating lakes, bridges and paths. In particular, we have designed a novel efficient bridge-siting algorithm that selects n appropriate sites to build bridges across a park lake, where n is set by th...

Urban green areas are open spaces in urban that mainly covered by vegetation. They can be public or private include parks, community gardens, forests, and nature reserves. Parks an important component of quality life if they well designed accessible. Accessible parks contribute to physical activity among residents. Therefore, the objective study was identify most significant main accessibility ...

Urban trees play a key role in mitigating urban heat by cooling the local environment. However, benefit that can provide is influenced differences species traits and site-specific environmental conditions. Fifteen dominant tree parks from Mexico City were selected considering physiological (i.e., transpiration stomatal conductance) aesthetic morphological characteristics. Species’ performance w...

Urban expansion occurs in horizontal and vertical directions, but the construction process of a traditional planar ecological network (EN) ignores protection space. Birds, as representative species urbanized areas, are important for expanding analysis dimension ENs. In this study, urban parks with good habitat quality were extracted sources from perspective birds. Then, 2D 3D resistance surface...
