Quantitative and qualitative assessment of urban green spaces in Boussaada City, Algeria using remote sensing techniques

Abstract

A central issue for the Algerian city, in the dry environment, is awareness of the establishment and preservation of particular green spaces within the framework of sustainability. The overall goal of this study is to concentrate on the issues of green space provision in the city of Boussaada. Boussaada is a complex and fragile city with a rich history, archeological and natural diversity, and is under tremendous anthropogenic stress. The city of Boussaada has long had issues with the availability of green areas, a situation that is attributed, among other things, to a flawed urban design that places a premium on the environment. We attempted to define the quantity of green spaces in the city and quantify their richness through this study. The qualitative and quantitative study was carried out with the help of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and qualitative analysis and more specifically the species of trees in the new town of Boussaada.

The Effect of Spatial Differences on the Quality of Urban Life a Comparative Analytical Study of Three Cities in the High Plateaux Region of Algeria

“…In this criterion, different green spaces are identified and classified in addition to forests, agricultural fields, water basins, various residential areas, and the arid areas of the three cities, data were collected from master planning and urbanization plans for each city (Ouzir et al, 2021) (Figure 2).…”

Green spaces between water shortage and greed for urban sprawl, supported by fierce speculation: Case study, the city of M'sila

“…It is considered a heritage of the city. These green spaces are threatened by urban sprawl, they use the arc GIS technique to quantify these green spaces to preserve them (Ouzir et al, 2021). Bodies of water and green spaces positively affect the urban microclimate, lowering temperatures.…”
