Investigation analysis and proposed per capita for urban green space (case study)
Abstract
Urbanization and city development are phenomena of present time. with respect to daily-based increasing development of urban regions in recent decades, and urbanization, preceding city-building and facing with a lot of problems such as irrigular increase of population, non-target body development of cities and increase of environmental pollutions, green spaces have found a considerable role in maintaining and balancing urban environment as well as in reducing air pollutions. Accordingly, analysis and investigation of green space applicability and its per capita in Darab city as well as recommendations on giving balance to city's social and physical structure through creating green spaces can be vitally important. present research, carried out based on analytical-descriptive method , using different information and statistics shows that despite of national and international standards, provided for green space per capita and applicability, distribution of green spaces in Darab city's fourfold areas is not balanced. There are severe shortages in this ground.
... To estimate the square meters of green area per inhabitant (m 2 AV h -1 ), the modified Maleki et al., (2012) method was used, which consists of evaluating four criteria: a) average area necessary for the growth of a healthy tree; b) average temperature of the city; c) environmental quality; and d) population density in the study area. The average area necessary (item a) represents an area of 7 m 2 considered optimal for the growth and development of a healthy tree, while criteria b), c) and d), were evaluated through the review of information in scientific articles on the study area, thus assigning a value to each criterion and proceeding to estimate the m 2 AV h -1 . ...
... The evaluation of the four criteria revealed that the city of Texcoco should have 14m 2 AV h -1 (Maleki et al., 2012), however, the surface of 75 097 m 2 of green areas and a population calculated as of 2015 of 115 755 inhabitants, indicates that it has 0.649 m 2 AV h -1 , being a value far below that suggested in publications on the subject. The green area per inhabitant has been determined in several cities around the world with the objective of reaching or exceeding the standard value of 9 m 2 AV h -1 , under a sustainable development approach. ...
The creation of urban green areas is affected by rapid population growth and the consequent change in land use, despite the fact that green areas are fundamental for providing ecosystem services. The objective of this study was to analyze the conversion of urban wasteland spaces into green areas. The surface of green area per inhabitant (m2 AV h-1) existing in the city of Texcoco was estimated and wasteland spaces were identified through satellite images. Some soil properties were analyzed to determine the feasibility of establishing vegetation, and a survey was applied to a representative sample of the population to know the social perception of urban green areas. It was found that the city of Texcoco has 0,649 m2 AV h-1. Eighty-four wasteland spaces with potential for conversion into green areas were located, with a total area of 778,601.91 m2, which corresponds to 13.42 % of the city. The proposed conversion would achieve 7.38 m2 AV h-1. In general, the surveyed population shares the idea of creating more green spaces in the city of Texcoco, however, economic and political factors should be considered in the future.
... La evaluación de los cuatro criterios reveló que la ciudad de Texcoco debería de contar con 14 m 2 AV h -1 (Maleki et al., 2012), sin embargo, la superficie de 75 097 m 2 de áreas verdes y una población calculada al año 2015 de 115 755 habitantes, indica que posee 0,649 m 2 AV h -1 , siendo un valor muy por debajo del sugerido en publicaciones del tema. La superficie verde por habitante ha sido determinada en varias ciudades del mundo con el objetivo de llegar o superar el valor estándar de 9 m 2 AV h -1 , bajo un enfoque de desarrollo sostenible. ...
La creación de áreas verdes urbanas se ve afectada por el rápido crecimiento de la población y el consecuente cambio de uso de suelo, esto a pesar de que el área verdees fundamental para proveer servicios ecosistémicos. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la conversión de espacios ociosos urbanos en áreas verdes. Se estimó la superficie de área verde por habitante (m2 AV h-1) existente en la ciudad de Texcoco yse identificaron los espacios ociosos a través de imágenes satelitales. Se analizaron algunas propiedades del suelo para determinar la viabilidad de establecer vegetación, y se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra representativa de la población para conocer la percepción social sobre las áreas verdes urbanas. Se encontró que la ciudad de Texcoco cuenta con 0,649 m2 AV h-1. Se ubicaron 84 espacios ociosos con potencial de conversión en áreas verdes, con una superficie total de 778 601,91 m2, lo que corresponde al 13,42% de la ciudad. La conversión propuesta permitiría alcanzar 7,38 m2 AV h-1. En general, la población encuestada comparte la idea de crear más espacios verdes en la ciudad de Texcoco, sin embargo, se deben considerar en el futuro los factores económicos y políticos.
