Research Topic - Classifying urban green space distribution: analyzing spatial relationship of human-natural process by integrating remote sensing and socioeconomic data
Research over the past two decades has highlighted the many benefits of urban green space brought to human beings. The spatial distribution of urban green space is influenced by human activities and social economic development through time. Cities can be seen as sustainable ecosystem s , but the connection between urban green space, socioeconomic and biophysical factors in varying combinations, and quality of life is not comprehensively understood. The focus of the project is to use GIS and remote sensing to investigate how th ese factors interact in space and time.
