DEFINING CRITICAL AREAS THROUGH DISPERSION AND DENSITY OF VEGETATION INDEX IN RELATION TO POPULATION. STUDY CASE: IAŞI CITY
Journal Title: Present Environment and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
In this study the spatial distribution of green areas and the correlation of these with population density in the built up area of Iasi city have been investigated and evaluated. In order to do so, interconnections between density of green spaces (including NDVI) and distribution of population at two scales: district scale and 250 sqm scale have been determined with the final purpose of defining critical areas. Comparison of green spaces per capita at district and grid scale reveal that the regions which have the least green space area per capita and vegetation cover density can be defined as critical areas, occupying 16.3% of the total grids and 73% of total population. The results of this study could be introduced as action areas for improving the quality of green spaces in Iași.
