AbstractThe Analysis of Greening Effects on the Urban Environment Using GIS Track: Environment Management Author(s): Kinya Kamishima, Keita Kohmura, Kanichiro Mochizuki In urban area in Japan, heat island phenomenon, in which heat is confined, is causing much trouble. It is known that the repression of rise in temperature is effective by green in urban area. Therefore, administrations proceed with the policy increasing green. But, the distribution of green including that on the rooftops has not been caught precisely in the present condition. So, to study green position character spatially, the places covered with green was extracted from IKONOS image, and it was analyzed using GIS. As a result, we could find the size of potential space to increase green. Analytic results by GIS became useful in order to increase green effectively.
