A literature review of GIS and related approaches in green space study
Introduction:
As an important element of a city, green space are considered to be functional in many aspects of urban society. By improving stress reduction and physical activity, green space have shown its advantages in promoting human’s health both mentally and physically (de Vries et al.,2003; Mitchell and Popham, 2008; Higgs et al., 2012). Specifically, green space could contribute to appropriate air quality, noises levels, air temperature and cutting down water pollution, thus it is essential for human health who lived in the urban area. That is to say, a feasible method of urban planning, repairing the relationship of man and nature, upgrading urban living conditions could be completed by green space(Esbah et al., 2009; Irvine et al., 2009; Kaya et al., 2009; Mehmet Cetin,. 2015). Consequently, studies in the reasonable measurements of green space in urban areas could be fuels urban construction.
Many previous studies of green space are basically used GIS analysis and some other spatial analysis techniques …show more content…
Some analysis such as SPSS and GA might be used as a part of analysis, but it only could meet the needs on certain aspects. Unfortunately, techniques of green space researches only been classified generally by the main method that has been used in one study. However, the majority of researches involved more than one analysis methods. Remote Sensing could provides specific satellite data and images for monitor or analysis, GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive queries, it is more specialized in analyzing spatial information, editing data, maps, and present the results of all these operations. Thus different techniques can meet varied need of green space research, it is also hard to completely separate them in
