Abstract
This study compares and analyzes the structure and function of green spaces from the perspective of humans and ecosystems, targeting the Multifunctional Administrative City and Tsukuba-si, which were planned as Eco-cities. Through a review of previous research on both aspects of people’s use and ecosystems, three analysis items were set: “Green Connectivity,” “Accessibility of Urban Parks”, and “Quality of Urban Parks”. In addition, changes in the green space of Tsukuba-si were also analyzed. As a result, the Multifunctional Administrative City has relatively high accessibility to urban parks, but the connectivity and quality of green areas were found to be low. Green connectivity was more than doubled depending on the area of green and distribution, and quality of urban parks was significantly different in terms of dense vegetation (above NDVI 0.6). Although there has been little change in green areas of Tsukuba-si for 30 years, the dense vegetation area and connectivity was found to have improved in the core area. To develop into an Eco-city, the following is required: (1) Green space plans and development methods that assure connectivity and area, (2) improve the layout of urban parks to increase equity, and (3) interaction between vegetation plan and sustainable management.
