| Research Abstract |
This study aims to evaluate, as an indicator of urban density, plans for placement of green spaces in Japanese local metropolitan areas, focusing on public green spaces-such as parks and urban green areas-among various kinds of green spaces. For that, I grasp the relationship between public green space quantities and other indicators of urban density to assess the placement of public green spaces in response to daytime and nighttime populations, using geographic information systems (GIS). Furthermore, based on the evaluation results, I propose remedial measures feasible for implementation in the local metropolitan areas of Japan such as Sapporo, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Sendai, Aomori and Naha metropolitan areas.
