Abstract
Environmental issues resulting from the restructuring of urban space is a commonp roblema mong urban areas. In order to address these issues, it is necessary to evaluate the global and local impacts of the environmental load being generated. This paper presents a model system to estimate the major environmental load in a city. The model highlights the treatment of most infrastructure and buildings comprising the study area. Environmental load is estimated using the method of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The model also estimates the impact of additional buildings and infrastructures to the environmental load. The estimated values of environmental load are summarized as an integrated indicator referred to as “Environmenta Flriendliness Point”(EFP). Finally, the effectiveness of the model is clarified by applying various house-building measures and urban spatial structural changes.
