This study was conducted to report background, organism and activities of Greenspace Scotland, which was established for creation and management of green environment in urban Scotland, UK, and to help discussing an efficient structure for green environmental management in future Japan. As a result, it was confirmed that Greenspace Scotland plays a key role to develop and offer the framework - structure of partnership - for creating, regenerating and managing green environment from a large-scale point of view. Rich varieties of projects, which are difficult to manage by individual organization, have been brought to realization through circulating national funds and policies among local communities in partnership with existing charities and voluntary sector keeping their identity and independence. Greenspace Scotland also put stress on the aspects of social, cultural and economic regeneration in urban communities, and emphasizes a partnership development for above purposes.

Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas causing climate change. This study quantified annual direct and indirect uptake of carbon by urban greenspace, and annual carbon release from vegetation maintenance and fossil fuel consumption. The study area was whole Chuncheon and Kangleung, and also two districts of Kangnam and Junglang in Seoul, cities located in middle Korea. Carbon uptake by urban greenspace played an important role through offsetting carbon release by 6-7% annually in Chuncheon and Kangleung. For Kangnam and Junglang, where the population density was relatively higher, urban greenspace annually offset carbon release by 1-2%. Future possible tree plantings could double annual carbon uptake by existing trees in urban lands (except natural and agricultural lands) of a study city. Based on study results, planning and management guidelines for urban greenspace were suggested to save energy and to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations. They included selection of optimum tree species, proper planting location from buildings, design of multilayered planting, amendment of existing regulations for greenspace enlargement, avoidance f intensive vegetation maintenance, and conservation of natural vegetation.

This study quantified carbon uptake and emissions in urban landscape, and the role of urban greenspace in atmospheric carbon reduction for several cities of Chuncheon and Kangleung in Kangwon province. Mean carbon storage by trees and shrubs was 26.0 t (mertric tons)/ha in Chuncheon and 46.7 t/ha in Kangleung for natural lands, and ranged from 4.7 to 6.3 t/ha for urban lands (all land use types except natural and agricultural lands) in both cities. Mean annual carbon uptake by trees and shrubs ranged from 1.60 to 1.71 t/ha/yr for natural lands, and from 0.56 to 0.71 t/ha/yr for urban lands. There was no significant difference (95% confidence level) between the two cities in the carbon storage and annual carbon uptake per ha, except the carbon storage for natural lands. Organic carbon storage in soils (to a depth of 60 cm) of Chuncheon average 24.8 t/ha for urban lands and 31.6 t/ha for natural lands, 1.3 times greater than for urban lands. Annual carbon accumulation in soils was 1.3 t/hr/yr for natural lands of the study cities. Annual per capita carbon emissions from fossil fuel consumption were 1.3 t/yr in Chunceon and 1.8 t/yr in Kangleung. The principal carbon release in urban landscapes was from transport and industry. Total carbon storage by urban greenspace (trees, shrubs, and soils) equaled 66% of total carbon emissions in Chuncheon and 101% in Kangleung. Carbon uptake by urban greenspace annually offset total carbon emissions by approximately 4% in the study cities. Thus, urban greenspace played a partial important role in reducing atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations. To increase $CO_2$ uptake and storage by urban greenspace, suggested are conservation of natural lands, minimization of hard surfaces and more plantings, selection of tree species with high growth rate, and proper management for longer healthy tree growth.

2002년 그린벨트 해제 이후 청주시 환상녹지에서의 주거지 확대와 주요 간선도로의 확충 등 토지이용의 변화로 인한 경관파편화를 조사하고, 비오톱 조사결과와 비교하여 생물 종풍부성에 미친 영향을 파악해 보았다. 취락확대는 동부 산림구역을 제외한 시가지에 연접한 전 구역에서 이루어졌고, 도로밀도는 지역간 도로의 교차로가 있는 남북 구역에서 높게 나타났다. 이러한 경관파편화가 종풍부성이나 개체 풍부성에 미친 영향은 동물 유형별로 다르게 나타났다. 조류의 경우 경관파편화 외에 먹이활동이 용이한 수변환경에의 근접성이 중요하게 작용하여 파편화 정도가 높은 남북(N2, N3, N4, S2) 구역에서도 종풍부성이 높게 나타났다. 양서파충류는 조류에 비해 출현 종수의 존간 편차가 거의 없기는 하나, 파편화가 클수록 종풍부성이 낮아지는 경향은 더 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 청주시의 지속가능한 녹지관리를 위해서는 경관생태에 대한 정보 축적을 기반으로 하여 경관생태계획과 도시계획을 통합 관리하는 것이 우선적으로 요구되고, 다양한 지역사회 구성원의 참여와 또한 인접한 청원군과의 월경 녹지관리 협력이 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 학교통학로 녹지가 보행자의 만족도와 조성 방향에 미치는 영향을 도출하기 위하여, 서울시 학교통학로 녹화사업이 완료된 2개 학교와 가로 녹지가 조성되지 않은 비교 대상지인 2개 학교의 학생을 포함한 보행자 313명을 대상으로 실시한 설문 결과를 분석하였다. 녹지 만족도 분석 결과 녹지가 조성된 학교는 만족도 8개 항목에 대해 모두 만족하였고, 전반적인 만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 항목으로는 '보도의 폭'(37%), '주변 경관과의 조화'(24.97%), '나무나 풀, 꽃의 배치'(18.30%), '전반적인 관리 상태'(10.44%)였다. 즉, 녹지 만족을 영향을 미치는 항목으로는 녹지가 위치하는 보도의 폭(너비)이 적정히 확보되어 보행에 문제가 없어야 하는 기능적 측면에 대해 가장 중요하게 생각하였고 녹지의 세부적 구성 요소보다는 전반적인 경관과의 조화에 대해 더욱 중요하게 인식하고 있었다. 이것은 기존 보도에 녹지를 조성하는 현재 사업 형태에 대한 재검토가 필요하며, 보행 편의성을 위한 보도폭의 확보가 가로녹지 조성 사업 시 가장 중점적으로 고려해야 할 사항임을 나타낸다. 녹지 조성 방향에 대한 인식 차이를 분석하면, 학교통학로 녹화사업을 통하여 가로녹지에 대한 경험을 한 응답자는 풀과 꽃 등 자연 소재에 대해 더욱 중요하게 인식하고 경관과 조화에 대해 중요하게 생각하였다. 녹지에 대한 관심도가 높고 필요성을 높게 인식하는 응답자 또한 나무와 풀, 꽃 등을 조성하는 등 자연 소재의 배치에 대해 중요하다고 인식하고 있었다. 또한 녹지의 기능성과 효과성에 대한 장점을 인지하는 그룹이 녹지 만족도가 높았다. 따라서 녹지 만족도를 향상하기 위해서는 녹지 효과성에 대한 환경 교육과 홍보, 안내판 조성 등을 통하여 효과성에 대한 인식을 확대할 필요가 있다. 또한 획일적 형태보다는 지역과 학교 특성을 반영하는 등의 노력이 더욱 필요할 것이다.

This study explored effects of urban greenspace on improving atmospheric environment, which is concerned with $CO_2$, SO$_2$ and NO$_2$ uptake, and with reduction of summer air temperatures. The site of this study was focused on Jung-gu in Seoul. Tree density and cover were 1.1 trees/100 $m^2$ and 12.5% respectively for the study area except forest lands. Atmospheric purification by greenspace was associated with changes in tree cover per unit area of each land use type. The mean $CO_2$ storage by woody plants was 19.4t/ha, and annual uptake averaged 2.2t/ha/yr for $CO_2$, 1.9kg/ha/yr for SO$_2$ and 5.0kg/ha/yr for NO$_2$. Entire tree plantings in the study area played a significant role by annually offsetting $CO_2$ emissions of about 1,830t from fossil fuel consumption by 330 persons, SO$_2$ emissions of 1,620kg by 1,080 persons, and NO$_2$ emissions of 4,230kg by 450 persons. The summer air temperature was 3.6$^{\circ}C$ cooler at a location with 54% cover of woody plants and 4.5$^{\circ}C$ cooler at a forest site with 100% cover, compared to a place with no planting. A 10% increase of woody plant cover was estimated to decrease summer air temperature by approximately 0.6$^{\circ}C$ until a certain level of canopy cover. Analyzing data from the Automatic Weather Stations in Seoul revealed that increasing tree cover decreased mean air temperature for the summer season (Jun~Aug) in a nonlinear function. Woody plant cover was the best predictive variable of summer temperature reduction. The results from this study are expected to be useful in emphasizing the environmental benefits and importance of urban greenspace enlargement, and in urging the necessity for planting and management budgets.

Objectives: This study examined the use of health impact assessment (HIA) as a tool for intersectoral collaboration using the case of an HIA project conducted in Gwang Myeong City, Korea. Methods: A typical procedure for rapid HIA was used. In the screening step, the Aegi-Neung Waterside Park Plan was chosen as the target of the HIA. In the scoping step, the specific methods and tools to assess potential health impacts were chosen. A participatory workshop was held in the assessment step. Various interest groups, including the Department of Parks and Greenspace, the Department of Culture and Sports, the Department of Environment and Cleansing, civil societies, and residents, discussed previously reviewed literature on the potential health impacts of the Aegi-Neung Waterside Park Plan. Results: Potential health impacts and inequality issues were elicited from the workshop, and measures to maximize positive health impacts and minimize negative health impacts were recommended. The priorities among the recommendations were decided by voting. A report on the HIA was submitted to the Department of Parks and Greenspace for their consideration. Conclusions: Although this study examined only one case, it shows the potential usefulness of HIA as a tool for enhancing intersectoral collaboration. Some strategies to formally implement HIA are discussed.

The growth conditions of planted trees, invasion of nuisance herbaceous species, competition between species, and effects of erosion control were monitored over five years in a riparian greenspace in Gapyeong County that was established through multilayered and grouped ecological planting. Of 156 trees planted in the upper and middle layers, 5.8% died. This tree death was attributed to poor drainage or aeration in the rooting zone from the clay-added root ball and too deep planting as well as a small-sized root ball and scanty fine roots. Of all the trees, 21.6% grew poorly due to transplant stress in the first year after planting, but they started to grow vigorously in the third year. This good growth was largely associated with soil improvement before planting, selection of appropriate tree species based on growth ground, and control of dryness and invasive climbing plants through surface mulching and multilayered/grouped planting. Mixed planting of fast-growing species as temporary trees was desirable for accelerating planting effect and increasing planting density. Thinning of fast-growing trees was required in the fifth year after planting to avoid considerable competition with target species. To reduce the invasion of herbaceous and climbing plants that oppress normal growth of planted trees, higher density planting of trees (crown opening of about 15%), woodchip mulching to a 10-cm depth, and edge planting 2 m wide were more effective than lower density planting (crown opening of 70%), no surface mulching, and no edge planting, respectively. This reduction effect was especially great during the first three years after planting. Nuisance herbaceous plants rarely invaded higher density planting with woodchip mulching over the five years. Higher density planting or woodchip mulching also showed much greater erosion control through rainfall interception and buffering than lower density planting with no mulching did. Based on these results, desirable planting and management strategies are suggested to improve the functions of riparian greenspaces.
