Abstract
 The purpose of this paper is to identify political implications of parks and open spaces by analyzing services of green corridors. This paper develops and introduces new indexes ,which are GA, GS, and UWT in order to evaluate services of green corridor both in terms of space interconnection and pedestrian routing. The analyses of the green axis along the Sumiyoshi River in Kobe as a case study obtain results as follows; (1) GA increases by creating parks near the existing ones(within tripled an attractive range of parks) even though scale of parks is small, (2) when humans travel radially, GS increases dominantly by setting some parks per an attractive range of parks (250m), (3) UWT is likely of being used to experiment to create pedestrian routing so as not to interfere with closeness and safety which can be trade-off relation against simplicity and comfortableness.
