Abstract
To arrest global warming, it is also expected that the effect of carbon storage and sequestration of urban green spaces will be an important factor. On the other hand, the life cycle CO2 (hereafter, LCCO2) evaluation to reduce CO2 emissions is watched with interest by each sector. Because of this situation, the purpose of this study was to discuss the method of LCCO2 evaluation to urban parks, to apply that method to an actual urban park. The study parks estimated in this study was selected neighborhood park in Sapporo City, Hokkaido. The results are follows: 1) The method of LCCO2 evaluation to urban parks could be constructed, and it was possible to apply the constructed method to the study park. 2) In the study park under the present conditions, the amount of LCCO2 was estimated about 66.5t-C. 3) In the study park changed basing on a landscape planning considered to reduce the amount of LCCO2, the amount of LCCO2 was estimated about 46.1t-C. 4) Therefore, we grasped that it important for landscape planning to discuss reducing the amount of LCCO2.
