Abstract: Growing interest in Urban Green Spaces (UGSs) has led to the discovery of the wide spectrum of services that they either provide or support. Yet, there is persistent confusion about what types of green spaces exist and how they should be classified. Current Land Use (LU) and Land Cover (LC) maps both at European and national levels are either lacking or misclassify various types of UGS, thus underestimating the actual amount of green space that a city offers its citizens. In this paper, we highlight reasons for green space misclassification and suggest an ontology of UGSs. Our ontology takes into account both the physical appearance of UGSs and their semantics. We characterize the physical appearance using four different LC classes while providing semantics using unique characteristics expressed as rules. The ontology proposed emphasizes in particular frequently disregarded small and heterogeneous UGSs and can be used as a basis for their precise identification and mapping. Keywords: ontology, urban green spaces, urban atlas, OSM Published Online: 2022/12/21 11:10:18 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x003de7d7 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
“GI_Forum” publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists, and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain. “GI_Forum” implements the policy of open access publication (CC-BY-ND-License) after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of established scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions.
