SIGNIFICANCE OF URBAN GREEN SPACE NETWORK FOR MYSURU CITY

Abstract

Urban green space (UGS) is an incredibly important element to be looked at and nourished within all the land use. The rapid urbanisation isdirectly affecting the UGS as key elements. The optimum distribution of the UGS and its accessibility helps in maintaining the harmony in between the environment and the urban areas. The green space network analysis of the UGS of Mysuru city was evaluated with a methodological framework to understand the scenario of urban green network in densely built urban area. The UGS per capita and accessibility of all the present green spaces are studies to know its functionality. As it is well known fact that the quality of life, human well-being are the important factors influenced by urban green and open spaces accessibility and also helps in improving the strategic lifestyle in the urban areas. Eventually, contributions from UGS to the urban areas are very broad and multidimensional like, social, cultural, recreational, economic, environmental and aesthetical.
