“…They attribute this to the existence of residential areas that cover more than half of the neighborhood. Siddique et al (2020) in their research in Asansol, India; Since more than half of the urban area (55.66%) is covered with vegetation, they found that the open-green space per capita is 44.76 m 2 . However, they found that only 0.12% of the area covered with vegetation in the central region of…”

Urban open-green spaces are for cities; these are areas that make significant contributions to ecological, social, cultural, economic, and psychological issues. Because of the expanding of urban areas with the increasing population, all city dwellers need open-green spaces. The increase in the quality of urban life depends on the preservation of the existing open-green spaces in the cities and the increase of open-green spaces in parallel with the increase in the density of buildings. Here, unlike the open-increasing population and unplanned urbanization nature and green spaces in cities in Turkey decreased in quantity; Such important areas for cities and city dwellers are almost in danger of extinction. The purpose of this research is; determining the adequacy of open-green spaces per capita in the city of Nazilli (Aydin), and making suggestions for the development of open-green spaces in the neighborhood and city scale. In the research, 51 parks in 19 neighborhoods were examined. As a result of the research; It has been determined that there are imbalances in terms of numerical, spatial and per capita size in the distribution of open-green spaces among the neighborhoods in the city of Nazilli. It can be said that the reason for the unbalanced distribution of open-green spaces is that these areas are planned without taking into account the population of the neighborhood, surface measurements and population densities. In Kurtulus, Turan and Yesilyurt Neighborhoods, where there are no open-green spaces, open-green spaces should be planned. In neighborhoods where the opengreen space standard per capita (10 m 2 ) is not met, the open-green spaces should be increased numerically and spatially.Ensuring the adequacy of open green space per capita in all provinces and the city of Nazilli in Turkey; it will make cities more livable and increase the quality of life in cities.

“…The NDVI value varies from -1 to 1. Higher the value of NDVI reflects high Near Infrared (NIR), which means dense greenery [24]. The values 0.2 and below represents the lack of green space, moderate values between 0.2 and 0.6 presents shrub and grassland, and values between 0.6 and 0.8 uncovers agricultural lands and parks on the consequential image.…”

Urban green spaces are important to the physical activity, mental wellbeing, and health of urban residents. In medium-sized cities in Iran, urban green spaces have been ignored during the past decades. In this study, remote sensing and geographic information system was used to investigate the green space distribution in the built-up areas. Accordingly, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference built-up index (NDBI) were used to estimate urban green spaces distribution within the urban landscapes to measure the urban land use effect. The geospatial analysis results presented a lack of green spaces in built-up areas. Also, 16.8% of the total area of Qorveh city is considered as a dysfunctional urban fabric that 39.4% of the city’s population live in this area. This study highlighted the usage of green space index with geospatial analyses in illustrating the urban green spaces’ importance for planning. For the future urban land development scenarios, this approach could be used linking with regional planning approaches.

Residents’ perceptions on ecosystem services (ESs) provided by urban green spaces (UGSs) are vital for developing sustainable cities. However, there has been limited research on this issue in Malaysia. The aim of this paper is to assess Malaysians’ perceptions on ESs provided UGSs and how their perceptions are influenced by different socio-demographic factors. We used a structured online questionnaire and obtained 645 responses on 16 ESs from regulatory, cultural, and supporting ES categories. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regressions were used for data analysis. In general, city dwellers have high positive perceptions on ESs provided by UGSs. Their perceptions for global climate regulation, noise buffering, pest regulation, spiritual, and research and education services would likely to significantly increase as they grow older. Households with moderate income have significantly greater perceptions of microclimate regulation, air filtration and aesthetic services. Having non-tertiary level education would significantly lower their perceptions of global climate and microclimate regulation, spiritual, aesthetics, and recreational services. Tertiary educated residents with non-environmental degrees also showed similar associations. Infrequent visits to UGSs would likely to significantly reduce the perception of global climate regulation, noise buffering, runoff reduction, erosion control, spiritual, and aesthetics services. People living far (>5km) from the UGSs also have significantly lower perceptions of microclimate regulation, air filtration services. Suggestions are made to incorporate ESs related content in pre-university curriculum and establishing small parks in neighborhoods to improve knowledge and uses of UGSs. These findings would assist urban planners designing environmentally sound urban policies and thereby improving human wellbeing in the cities.
