The preliminary investigation to expand the green space requires a lot of cost and time. In this paper, we solve the problem by measuring the ratio of green space in a specific region through a convolutional neural network based the green space classification using Google Earth images. First, the proposed method collects various region images in Google Earth and learns them by using the convolutional neural network. The proposed method divides the image recursively to measure the green space ratio of the specific region, and it determines whether the divided image is green space using a trained convolutional neural network model, and then the green space ratio is calculated using the regions determined as the green space. Experimental results show that the proposed method shows high performance in measuring green space ratios in various regions.

This study analyzed the forces to drive the change of urban green spaces in Daegu from 1989 to 2009. First, the loss and fragmentation of green spaces in the past 20 years were spatially identified by performing the hot spots analysis for the cell-based spatial metrics quantifying the size and diversity of green spaces. Next, seven drivers such as slope, distance to roads, land price, population density, ratios of residential, commercial, and industrial areas were selected based on the previous studies and the direction of the association between the loss and fragmentation of green spaces and seven drivers was analyzed with the stepwise logistic regression. Finally, the relative importance of the seven drivers and their interactions in the past 20 years were analyzed with the geographical detector. The results show that the loss of green spaces was concentrated on a part of the Anshim housing development district from 1989 to 2009 and green spaces were highly fragmented around the housing development districts such as Seongseo, Anshim, Dalseong-gun and Chilgok. The forces to drive the loss and fragmentation of green spaces in these areas were different at the administrative levels, but the drivers such as slope and ratios of residential and industrial areas were commonly significant. These drivers were positively correlated with largest patch index(LPI) quantifying the loss of green spaces while they were negatively correlated with Shannon's diversity index(SHDI) measuring the fragmentation of green spaces. In other words, the loss and fragmentation of urban green spaces in Daegu appeared around such regions with lower slope and lower ratios of residential and industrial areas. The relative importance of drivers for LPI was listed as ratio of industrial area, land price, and ratio of commercial area in descending order whereas that of drivers for SHDI was listed as ratio of industrial area, land price, and distance to roads in descending order. Also, the interaction between slope and ratio of residential area had a great impact on LPI and SHDI. The ratio of industrial area was a single driver to most significantly explain the loss and fragmentation of urban green spaces in Daegu in the past 20 years. The interaction between slope and ratio of residential area was greater than the independent influence of a single driver. This study will provide the base data to build a sustainable urban green policy for the city of Daegu in the near future.

Urban green spaces have been contributing to the improvement of environmental, mental, and physical health for humans. In addition, recent studies showed the potential role of vegetation in reducing the amount of crime in inner-city neighborhoods at the micro-scale level. However, little is known about the positive role of urban green areas in improving urban safety at the regional level. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between urban green areas and actual outdoor crime rates, while also considering socio-demographic factors. The study area is the city of Austin, Texas, USA, which consists of 506 block groups. This study utilized socio-demographic factors based on U.S. Census data and vegetation-related factors utilizing GIS and ENVI software. For analyses, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and an ordinary least square (OLS) regression were utilized. The results from ANOVA showed that yearly crime rates per acre for areas having 0%~25% trees in their neighborhoods were 0.46% and 1.05% higher than those of having 25%~50% and >50% trees in the neighborhoods, respectively. The results from the OLS regression represented that income, NDVI and park rates in neighborhoods were negatively associated with the crime rate per acre, whereas the percentage of minorities and the percentage of teenage school dropouts were positively associated with the crime rate per acre. This study implies that urban green areas may help to improve the safety of urban areas.

Urban Heat Island (UHI) is caused by an energy imbalance in urban areas, where building design and land cover contribute to its amplification. To mitigate UHI, increasing green space is one of the well known and the most effective approach. This study aims aimed to identify specific components of green spaces that lower temperatures and demonstrate the cooling effects based on their size and composition. Forests within green spaces have had a greater impact on temperature reduction due to shading and blocking solar radiation. Although lakes also contributed to temperature reduction, the effect to cooling intensity was not significant. The cooling distance does not depended on green space size or composition. The study emphasizes that initial temperature has a strongerinfluence on cooling intensity than green space size, highlighting the importance of vegetation type within green spaces to achieve a cooling effect. These findings provide valuable insights for urban planning and the design of green spaces to mitigate the effects of the urban heat island.

The purpose of this study was to find out how different types of land use around green belts affect temperature decrease effects. For this, temperatures within and outside of green belts were measured. Based on the collected data, the study analyzed the land cover status and temperatures within green belts, temperature decrease effects and the range of effects around green belts, and the correlation between trees and temperature decrease effects by way of regression analysis. As a result, areas of the high temperature within green belts were formed on paved surfaces, whereas areas of low temperature were formed around forests or water surfaces. In addition, deviation was bigger in the highest temperature than the lowest one for areas of Leeward around green belts, but in general, there was a tendency that temperature became low near to green belts. As for the relation between land cover rate and temperature, what was effective to temperature decrease included forests, pasture and water surfaces. On the other hand, the effects of temperature decrease varied depending on increase or decrease of land cover rates. As for the influence of the different land use types around green belts on temperature decrease effects, the Shakuzi Park showed relatively stronger effects than the Ageomaruyama Park.

This study observed the temperature and humidity within the green zone to understand the effect that land coverage and the structure of forests have on the relief of micro-climate control. Based on this set of data, this study interpreted, through the regression analysis, the relevance of land coverage of the green zone with temperature and distribution of humidity, as well as the amount of green with the relief of microclimate control. The results of the study demonstrated that high temperature regions were formed in barren areas, and low temperature regions in forests or near the water. In particular, low temperature was found in areas covered with tall and small trees, the water surrounded by forests and areas enclosing small rivers. Furthermore, mechanisms causing low temperature were, among others, the ratio of land coverage (forest, grassland, water). In fact, the temperature reduction effect varied in accordance with the types and ratios of the land coverage. Humidity also showed a close correlation with the distribution of temperature high temperature areas had low humidity and low temperature areas had high humidity. Such a phenomenon.

오늘날 도시는 인간 중심적으로 환경을 고려하지 않은 채 개발위주의 발전이 계속되고 있으며 도시화가 진행됨에 따라 도심지에 콘크리트와 아스팔트의 비율이 증가하고 농경지와 녹지가 감소하는 등 도시주변의 피복 변화가 빠르게 일어나고 있다. 이와 같이 열 환경을 고려하지 않은 도시의 급성장은 각종 인공 열과 대기오염 물질의 증가와 함께 도시상공의 기온을 상승시켜 도시의 기온이 주변 지역보다 높아지는 열섬현상의 원인이 되고 있다. 이에 따라 최근 미국, 유럽 등의 선진국을 비롯하여 아시아지역에서도 도시열섬현상 대책수립이 활발히 진행되어오고 있으며 국내에서도 열섬완화 대책 수립의 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 그러나 자연토지피복은 농경지, 나지, 수면과 같은 다양한 종류의 피복으로 구성되며 각 피복특성에 따라 도시내부에 영향을 미치는 정도가 다르게 나타나므로 도시계획에 반영될 수 있는 자연피복의 종류와 피복비율의 적정조합을 도출할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 청주시를 대상으로 농경지를 포함하는 녹지의 감소, 공업단지의 증가에 따른 열 환경 영향을 분석하기 위하여 청주시의 연도별 토지피복 분포 현황과 과거 기상자료를 통해 토지피복 분포변화에 따른 온도 변화를 조사하였다. 토지피복은 농경지, 녹지, 주거지, 공업 단지 및 수역으로 분류하였으며, 대상지역의 기후 특성 파악을 위하여 청주시 총 면적에 대한 면적비율의 증감추이와 그에 따른 온도 변화를 정량적으로 파악하였다. 그 결과, 청주시는 녹지의 경우 정체 또는 감소추세를 나타낸 반면 공업단지는 지속적인 증가추세를 나타내었다.

In order to investigate relation between park scale and temperature decrease in and near parks, temperature distribution was observed and was analyzed in four parks of different scales. Relation between the temperature decrease and ratio of green coverage was also analyzed by using regression analysis. Lower temperature was observed in and near the parks and larger cooling effect was implicated near the larger parks. The result of regression analysis showed that the increase of green coverage ratio lends the decrease of the temperature in the parks. The degree of the temperature decrease varied according to the types of the coverage.
