From the six relationships of two characteristics, the possibility of the greening may be investigated. 3) In order to satisfy the feeling of green-sufficiency and conserve the historic landscape, the greenery space in the interface space is increased. The possibilty of greening in the small open space was found that the green-sufficiency is satisfied by increasing the greenery space. On the case of the large open space it is also possible by introducing the green-sufficiency even if the rate of greenery space is low.
