An assessment method for existing greenery conditions in a university campus

It is widely known that greenery has positive impacts to the environment. It is necessary to consider greenery as an important element in any contemporary urban planning. However, planners, estate managers and property managers are not able to asses existing greenery conditions in terms of quantitative data in order to achieve their goals in maintaining or improving the greenery condition. Thus, it is impossible to set a framework or plan to improve the environmental quality. The objective of this research is to develop a framework for planners to evaluate and to improve the greenery conditions in planning the urban environment.
