The awareness about the impotence of biodiversity had increased in business sectors, and four assessment systems for urban green spaces have been developed, which assessed and authorized the value of green spaces created by private companies. This study aims to compare these four assessment systems, particularly focusing on urban biodiversity point of view. As a result, two systems, SEGES and ABINC, take the educational role into account for assessment, as well as the quality and quantities of green spaces. Meanwhile, the other two systems, TEAM and JHEP, consider only quantities and qualities. As urban greens have the role in promoting public awareness of the importance of biodiversity for urban residents, it is desirable to take the educational role into consideration for assessment systems, as well.
