Analysis of Urban Public Greenspace pattern based on landscape metrics in Kunming

Urban Public Greenspace (UPGS) plays important functions in the metropolitan area. The objective of this study is to analyze Urban Public Greenspace (UPGS) status of Kunming tricyclic district. A GIS-based method, landscape metrics-based method was employed to insights into how the pattern of UPGS in the study area was and what spatial variance in different concentric ringways was. Results revealed that the UPGS pattern has some serious shortage provision, poor connectivity, and inequalities distribution in the study area. This study demonstrated a combination of remote sensing image classification and landscape metrics analysis can be regarding as a tool for UPGS and other urban landscape research. It has also revealed that the UPGS status analysis plays an important role in directing the future urban planning with rational principle for urban planners and stakeholders.
