Synopsis

Urban green spaces (UGS) are one of the indispensable elements for design and development of cities. UGS are considered as “lung” of cities as well as are one of the elements reflecting the quality of life. UGS are very useful for cleaning air, adjusting urban climate, eliminating noise. They also bring a landscape aesthetics, recreation, good environment for health. The aim of this research is to develop an index for assessment of city wide UGS based on multi criteria analysis of Chandigarh city. The percentage of green, weighted type of green and proximity to green are selected as parameters to study UGS. All these parameters were derived using IRS P6 LISS IV data and IRS P6 LISS 4 + Cartosat-1 fused product. NDVI and Object based classification method is used to classify different layers and then analyzed using multi criteria analysis to derive the modified green index. The final result shows the distribution as well as the quality of green space in study area. This book provides an effective method in assessment of UGS. It is a useful material for those who study on green space.
