“…The source patches identified in this paper include not only the common types of park green space, ancillary green space, production, and protection green space in green space planning, but also the ecologically important areas within the city, such as nature reserves, important wetlands, water conservation reserves, and large-scale ecological public welfare forests [18].…”

In order to build a scientific and reasonable urban park green infrastructure network. Genetic Tabu hybrid algorithm is introduced into the field of urban park green infrastructure network construction, using ENVI5.5, ArcGIS10.2, Conefor2.6, and other software to construct the comprehensive green infrastructure network model and corresponding algorithm of a city park and improve and compare the genetic algorithm and Tabu search algorithm. Firstly, the ecological sensitivity of urban parks was evaluated, and 58 ecological source patches with high ecological value were selected. With the help of GIS platform, 71 potential corridors are simulated and generated by using the minimum cost path model. Then, select the index that can evaluate the importance of source patches in the ecological network to determine the importance ranking of source patches. Finally, according to the principles of clustering and network connectivity, select the ecological source with high patch importance, analyze the potential ecological corridor and current corridor, and combine and screen the factors of green infrastructure network. The results show that a city park green infrastructure network composed of 38 ecological source patches and 19 corridors is finally formed. Genetic algorithm has a potential application prospect in the construction of urban park green infrastructure network. By introducing genetic Tabu hybrid algorithm into the field of urban park green infrastructure network construction, it will change the mode of traditional urban park green infrastructure network construction.

“…At the moment, it is turning into a hot point for study in order to improve the community environment, exert community health efficiency, improve public health status, and promote well-being for the members of the community by means of environmental intervention. The planning and design of green open space will bring direct health advantages to urban residents, according to research [ 3 , 4 ], and studies have demonstrated that people's health is affected by the design of natural environments [ 3 , 4 ]. In addition, a number of studies have demonstrated that having access to green space in a community can improve people's physical, mental, and social health [ 5 ].…”

The topic of health has gained importance in today’s society in the context of a healthy China. The success of community environmental design is intimately correlated with everyone’s physical and mental health since it is the setting for people’s daily lives. At present, although the facilities and equipment of the community environment in our country are improving day by day, the important role of color psychology in the community environment has been neglected. Color has always been a part of human life and a very important component of the community environment. When it comes to the design of communal environments, the color design of various areas will have variable degrees of influence on the psychological space and perspective of individuals. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the application value of color psychology in the design of community health environments using color psychology as a scientific foundation. Additionally, the paper attempts to use color psychology as a scientific basis to study the thinking of health issues in the community environment. In addition, the results of the questionnaire survey are used to perform analysis and discussion in order to investigate the regular characteristics of the various research objects, as well as their preferences and psychological needs for color. This is done with the goal of providing empirical support for the improvement of the community environment and the health of the people living in it. In the end, the results of the questionnaire survey are compiled with four different design concepts. These design principles include functionality, naturalness, beauty, and safety. And the design intention and optimization strategy from the three directions the overall building, planting, and paving in the community healthy environment are then presented. This is done in order to create a colorful and comfortable healthy environment for the community life of people and to support the development of people’s physical and mental health.

“…These requirements are substantial in urban redevelopment and suggest the expansion of available and large green spaces or the provision of green corridors. However, Goddard et al [11], Dewaelheyns et al [33], O'Brien et al [53], Amorim et al [54] and Ring et al [55] pointed out the significant role of smaller green patches or private gardens. At the same time, they flagged their negative impacts and disservices, which can arise if nonnative biotopes are created or if the opportunities for synergy are not utilised.…”

“…However, this approach was limited to roof areas and did not quantify expected benefits. Ring et al [55] identified a lack of tools on the plot-level. Thus, they conceptualised a methodology to account for plot-level urban green infrastructure evaluation.…”

Namares—A Surface Inventory and Intervention Assessment Model for Urban Resource Management

et al. 2022

Densely built-up areas are challenged by reduced biodiversity, high volumes of runoff water, reduced evaporation, and heat accumulation. Such phenomena are associated with imperviousness and low, unsustainable utilisation of land and exterior building surfaces. Local authorities have multiple objectives when (re-)developing future-proof districts. Hence, exploiting local potentials to mitigate adverse anthropogenic effects and managing the resource of urban land/surfaces have become key priorities. Accordingly, a five-level hierarchy for a land-sensitive urban development strategy was derived. To support the operationalisation of the hierarchy, we present the model Namares, a highly resolved GIS-based approach to enable spatially explicit identification and techno-economic and environmental assessment of intervention measures for advantageous utilisation of available surfaces per land parcel. It uses existing data and covers the management of economic, natural, and technical resources. Nine intervention measures are implemented to identify potentials, estimate investments and annual costs, and assess the appeal of existing subsidies. The approach was applied to a case study redevelopment area in a large city in Germany. The results provide spatially explicit information on greening potentials, estimated investments, subsidy demand, and other quantified benefits. The case study results show the limited potential for additional unsealing of impervious surfaces by transforming ca. 10% of sealed ground surface area into new urban gardens. At the same time, up to 47% of roof and 30% of facade surfaces could be utilised for greening and energy harvesting. The approach enables a comprehensive localisation and quantitative assessment of intervention potentials to enhance decision support in land-sensitive urban development strategies.
