Cartographic modelling of the urban quality of life – aspect of green areas in the City of Lublin (Poland)
Abstract
It is well recognized that green areas play a key role in improving urban environment. However, due to pressures from new development, urban greenery is seen to be rapidly declining in terms of their area and quality. Therefore, there is a need for proper planning control to ensure that the provisions of green spaces are adequately used for city dwellers. Information technology has created an opportunity to develop new approaches in preserving and monitoring the development of urban greenery.
This paper will discuss cartographic modelling in the scope of use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing in providing solutions in monitoring urban quality of life (QoL). The author will focus on population distribution and urban greenery to assist in monitoring urban QoL at local context. On the basis of IKONOS 2 satellite images the NDVI index for the high and low greenery was calculated to specify the space structure of greenery in Lublin. In order to determine the infl uence of green areas for residents, the map of population distribution was used. This weighted dot map was created on the basis of the place of residence data. These materials allowed the author to describe and analyse the quality of life index, which was calculated in fi xed minimal mapping units. As the result of studying images of spatial distribution of the quality of life in Lublin was obtained in a form of synthetic isopleth maps. This modelling was based on software Erdas Imagine (NDVI, the classifi cation of IKONOS 2 image) and ArcGIS (analysis of vector a nd raster).Keywords
