A Study on an Evaluation of Greenery Amount based on Activities of Demand for Green

The Role of Plant Boxes in Urban Residential Environment

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between greenery amount and plant boxes on streets in urban residential environments was analyzed to evaluate greenery amount based on activities of demand for green. A lot of plant boxes were observed in low green rate areas. It was considered that behavior of planting in boxes is one of the compensatory responses for demanding green in residential environment. The results of the analysis showed a possibility of using the number of plant boxes to standardization of visual green rate. Plant boxes have a possibility to increase perceived greenery amount and landscape planting in terms of quality.
