Abstract

Københavns Kommune udvikler et Green Space Factor-værktøj for at få mere bynatur ind i nye byudviklingsområder, øge biodiversiteten, styrke klimatilpasningen og forbedre borgernes naturoplevelser. Værktøjet fokuserer på fire kvalitative temaer: biodiversitet, klimatilpasning, rekreation og stedspecifikke kendetegn som kulturelle og landskabsmæssige elementer. Dette projekt anvender GIS (geografiske informationssystemer) og fjernmåling (ortofotos, som er geometrisk korrigerede flyfotos, og LiDAR, som leverer laserbaserede højdedata) til at beregne og udtrække de data, der er nødvendige for at etablere et udgangspunkt (baseline) for Green Space Factor i København.

Copenhagen Municipality is developing a Green Space Factor tool to bring more urban nature into new development areas, increase biodiversity, strengthen climate adaptation, and enhance residents' nature experiences. The tool focuses on four qualitative themes: biodiversity, climate adaptation, recreation, and site characteristics such as cultural and landscape elements. This project uses GIS (geographic information systems) and remote sensing (orthophotos, which are geometrically corrected aerial photographs, and LiDAR, which provides laser-based elevation data) to calculate and extract the data needed to establish a baseline for the Green Space Factor in Copenhagen.
