“…Green space planning was launched in the United Kingdom at the end of the seventeenth century and since then has been an integral part of city planning policy (Maryanti et al 2016). The presence of urban green space has become an important aspect of planning and research as an environment for the well-being of city dwellers (Kabisch et al 2016).…”

The article analyzes and compares the existing quantitative norms of green space in different cities of Ukraine and other countries. It is substantiated that the index of provision of green space per capita is significantly more informative under the condition of equal density of the urban population and must necessarily be supplemented by the indicator – the level of greening. The comparison of data relative to Ukrainian cities is complicated by the categorization of green plantings adopted in the country, rather than the green spaces, as practiced in most countries. Despite the relatively low density of settlements, the provision of green space per capita in Ukrainian cities often does not meet the requirements of EU and UN. The primary use of the recreational function of green plantations in modern conditions is appropriate to reorient to the ecological function of green spaces and sustainable urban development. We consider necessity to introduce a minimal environmental norm for the total number of green spaces within the city territory regardless of the form of ownership.<br /><br />

“…Environmental impacts such as deforestation could increase carbon emissions in the city (Arshad et al 2017). Urban green spaces, for instance, are lacking in Kuala Lumpur and Seberang Perai due to the scarcity of land (Maryanti et al 2017;Samat et al 2014), which could be even more so in the future as rapid developments continue. The ratio of green spaces to population in Kuala Lumpur is only 12 m 2 per person, which is below the standards set by World Health Organization and Malaysia's National Urbanization Policy (FDTC 2016).…”

Sustainable urban development has been a popular subject in urban studies and related disciplines. Owing to the challenges faced by cities worldwide to accommodate the growing urban populations, it is becoming ever more important for innovative research on sustainable urban development to be performed to help cities achieve sustainability. This study develops and tests an integrated approach to sustainable city assessment, which is a combination of importance-performance analysis (IPA) and modi ed analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Questionnaires designed following the IPA concept were distributed to residents of three cities. The importance scores from the collected data were factorized and the relative scores of the factors were then converted into pairwise comparisons using a formula developed in this study. The derived criteria weights were applied to the performance scores to evaluate the cities' relative overall sustainability performance. This approach replaces the AHP's 1-9 scale with the IPA's importance rating scale, which is a Likert scale, in the questionnaire. Based on the ndings, implications and future research suggestions were provided.

“…The recreational pond that detains treated rainwater has great potential as PHS application to fulfill the domestic water demand. Under the same practices of BIOECODS, the current policy is that every new development in Malaysia should allocate 3% of the 10% green area [76] for the pond which also has potential to maximize its usage as a PHS as well as to save the domestic water demand and it is applicable to be practiced in the other countries of tropical climate. Note: * is the annual rainfall stated in the reference.…”

Rapid urbanization, population explosion and climate change have threatened water security globally, regionally and locally. While there are many ways of addressing these problems, one of the innovative techniques is the recent employment of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) which include rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS). Therefore, this paper reviews the design and component of two types of RWHS, the namely roof harvesting system (RHS) and the pond harvesting system (PHS). The performance in terms of quantity and quality of collected rainwater and energy consumption for RWHS with different capacities were evaluated, as well as the benefits and challenges particularly in environmental, economic and social aspects. Presently, the RHS is more commonly applied but its effectiveness is limited by its small scale. The PHS is of larger scale and has greater potentials and effectiveness as an alternative water supply system. Results also indicate the many advantages of the PHS especially in terms of economics, environmental aspects and volume of water harvested. While the RHS may be suited to individual or existing buildings, the PHS has greater potentials and should be applied in newly developed urban areas with wet equatorial climate.
