Abstract
We investigated the relationship between the behavior characteristics of butterflies and spatial characteristics of Namba Parks which has nine floors and the stepped roof garden. We divided the study area into 16 areas and measured spatial characteristics such as green space condition and the floor level. According to the transect count method, a negative correlation was not observed between the number of butterflies and floor level, so height of buildings was not an obstacle for the appearance of butterflies. And a correlation was observed between the number of butterflies and the green coverage ratio and the number of species of plants. Additionally by the single-individual trailing method, it became clear that the behavior characteristics of butterflies was affected by visibility of planting, the wall greening and the arrangement nectar resource plants. As a result, it became clear that the stepped roof garden influenced on the behavior of butterflies in Namba parks.
