Abstract
 The distribution of greens on boarder zones of architectures and streets in Venice was surveyed in situ and mapped by use of GIS. And its tendency was analyzed from the perspective of spatial characteristics on public spaces, using the logistic regression analysisand the cross tabulation. Important results are discovered through the study. The properties of public spaces like as the width of frontal lanes and the existence of Fondamenta, which are typical spatial forms in Venice, are influential for presence of green around walls. Green on gardens tends to exists beyond the walls of ends of lanes. And it is also concluded that influencing factors for each type of green differ according to their types, while they are also different from each other in different places. For instance, Campo or Campiello are key factors in one district for the presence of window side green, but in the other district they do not play an important role. Furthermore the width of frontal lane influences the emergence of window side green, but as to other types does not so. Many of such differences are able to be understood from the points of view of the history of urban development in Venice.
