Global human population and urban development are increasing at unprecedented rates and creating tremendous stress on local, regional and global air and water quality. Some of the major functions of the urban green spaces include reducing air pollution, providing shade and habitat for arboreal birds, producing oxygen, providing shelter against winds, recreational and aesthetic qualities. Cities and peri-urban Settlements must be prepared to meet the challenge of unplanned settlement or slum formation. The move towards smart cities promises to bring greater automation, intelligent routing and transportation, better monitoring and better city management. The development of urban green space networks includes creation of new spatial forms, restoration and maintenance of green patches connectivity as well as protection of existing green spaces. Green space network begins to be recognised as a medium of conserving ecosystem and natural environment in urban area. Several methods have been introduced in regards to formulation of modelling urban green space network. This research paper reviews several methods that are used for modelling green space network in urban planning. Recently, remote sensing and GIS are being used to produce a model of urban green space network which positively afford nature conservation in the city. Various methods of modelling urban green space network which include remote sensing, GIS application through land suitability analysis (LSA) and least cost path analysis and gravity model are used to give some understanding on the role of geo-informatics to be used for future planning. The study has given us appropriate way to understand the living spaces in the proposed smart city and identified the probable locations for the green space network.
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 one of the elements reflecting the quality of life. The aim of this research is to develop Weighted Urban Green Space Index (WUGSI) for assessment of city wide UGS based on multi criteria analysis of Chandigarh city. The percentage of green, type of green and proximity to green are selected as parameters to study weighted urban green space index. All these parameters were derived from IRS P6 LISS IV data and IRS P6 LISS 4 + Cartosat-1 fused product. NDVI and Object based classification method is used to obtain different layers and then is analyzed using multi criteria analysis to derive the modified green index. The final result shows the distribution of green space in study area consisted of very high quality green, high quality green, moderate quality green and low quality green. The assessment of UGS was carried out sector wise and it was found that developed index is quite useful for assessment of UGS and can be used to identify the planning recommendations.

The main objective of this paper is to establish a methodological framework, with universal use, in order to evaluate and optimize an urban green network in densely built urban areas. GIS functionality and its spatial processes modeling capabilities led us to choose the raster structure for our data analysis, although it is not as commonly used as its vector counterpart. The raster data structure, however, is the most appropriate in cases where there is a plethora of criteria involved and a need for successive layers overlay. Connectivity plays a prominent role in controlling and evaluating the structure of the generated network. This paper is based on the theoretical foundations of the theories of Landscape Ecology, Urban Ecology, Green Networks, Bioclimatology, Landscape Architecture, and the new discipline of Landscape Urbanism, combined with Spatial Analysis and GIS. Furthermore, we argue that the “square meters of green per capita” index is not satisfactory. The methodological ...

This paper explains the benefit and need of “urban green space”. The important role played by urban green space are social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of sustainable development. Urban green space can be a comprehensive tool for long term protection of environment sustainability through improving quality of life and air quality, increasing property value due to amenity and aesthetic characteristics and reducing the energy cost of cooling building. Urban green space can also be effective for traveler and health to tourism and can be proved as a factor of economic boom. To make sure multiple benefits and roles played by urban green space. Certain development with in urban area in content of green infrastructure should be done and incorporated effectively into urban environment sustainability agenda. To do this integrative vision including planning,monitoring, designing, maintaining of urban green space required in cities all over the world.
The research focuses on the study of green areas , and if the proportion of an area are suitable with the size of the population as well as to identify the share of each person of it , and infer the extent of fulfillment of this ratio.And took the GREEN ZONE model for the study and after the required field visits to obtain maps,the green spaces were calculate using Arc map program and compare it with the numbers of the population according to the approved criteria for assessing the reality of the region and determine the actual need witch is suitable with the population and to provide planning proposals that achieve the best results for the development of the region.

Green spaces refer to those land uses which are covered with natural or man-made vegetation in the built-up as well as planning areas. In an urban environment, there are some good green areas which are mainly covered with physical or man-made vegetation and can function as ecological balance, playing an active role in the urban environment, landscape, and resident's recreation. The basic problem faced by today's urban agglomerates is the lack of green spaces. Due to the constraints of planning mechanism, ignorance and negligence about the importance of various facts of green space, there are merely providing it So by achieving environmental necessities there are adopting the GIS technology for this study. The research is carried out in Surat city to analyzes the urban green space. Objectives for this research work are to classify the urban green space in the context of Surat; to define the criteria for analysis; to generate the scenario using GIS tool; Suggestive planning pr...
