Selecting Location of Urban Parks in Hillside City Nagasaki by Using GIS and Remote Sensing

摘要

Although urban parks provide various benefits, the area and number of such parks in Nagasaki City is below the national standard. This study aimed at identification of areas lacking urban parks and selection of their location in Nagasaki City by using GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Satellite Remote Sensing and incorporated slope considerations into the analysis. As a result of the study, we were able to find the areas with insufficient urban parks and provide guidelines for their selection of optimum location.
