Abstract [en]

The green area factor model is a crucial tool for conserving and creating urban greenery and ecosystem services within neighborhood land. This model serves as a valuable index, streamlining the planning, assessment, and comparison of local-scale green infrastructures. However, conventional on-site measurements of the green area factor are resource intensive. In response, this study pioneers a computational approach that integrates ecological and social dimensions to estimate the green area factor. Employing satellite remote sensing and advanced deep learning techniques, the methodology utilizes satellite orthophotos of urban areas subjected to semantic segmentation, identifying and categorizing diverse green elements. Ground truths are established through on-site measurements of green area factors and satellite orthophotos from benchmarking sites in <spacing diaeresis>Orebro, Sweden. Results reveal an 82.0% average F1-score for semantic segmentations, signifying a favourable correlation between computationally estimated and measured green area factors. The proposed methodology is potential for adapting to various urban settings. In essence, this research introduces a promising, cost-effective solution for assessing urban greenness, particularly beneficial for urban administrators and planners aiming for insightful and comprehensive green strategies in city planning.
