Abstract:
Urban green spaces are critical components of urban ecosystems, playing an irreplaceable role in improving the ecological environment and enhancing quality of life. High-precision identification of urban green spaces is fundamental for urban renewal and optimizing green infrastructure. However, research on the identification and spatial heterogeneity of green spaces in megacities remains relatively limited. This study, taking Xi'an as an example, integrates urban street view images and GF-2 (Gaofen-2) satellite imagery, employing methods such as ISODATA classification, K-Means classification, and convolutional neural networks to achieve multi-dimensional, downscaled, and high-precision identification and analysis of green spaces. The results indicate the following: (1) The K-Means classification method demonstrates significantly higher accuracy (84.5%) compared to the ISODATA classification method (62.4%) and more accurately maps the spatial characteristics and heterogeneity patterns of green spaces. The green space coverage identified by the K-Means method is 0.277 0, which is lower than the 0.360 7 identified by ISODATA. (2) The average Green View Index (GVI) of streets in Xi'an's main urban area is 0.156 0, indicating a generally good level of street greening. However, there is notable polarization across different roads, with 30% of sampling points having a GVI below 0.080 0. Overall, the GVI of higher-grade roads is greater than that of lower-grade roads, following the trend: primary roads > secondary roads > trunk roads > tertiary roads. (3) There is a positive correlation between the GVI of streets and the vegetation coverage in their surrounding areas in Xi'an's main urban area. However, this correlation weakens in certain road sections, reflecting differences between vertical cross-sections and overhead views of the streets. Combining these perspectives provides a more accurate assessment and quantification of urban green spaces. This study provides a reference for green space planning, green infrastructure construction, and smart management in Xi'an, as well as technical guidance for high-precision identification and spatial analysis of urban green spaces in other cities. © 2024 Science Press.
