GreenUR Tool

GreenUr is a plug-in for QGIS, a free and open-source desktop geographic information system (GIS). GreenUr offers the possibility to measure availability and accessibility of green space in cities. It accommodates algorithms to calculate potential direct health effects of green space, for example, on mental health, and indirect impacts, for example, through ecosystem services.

This tool will help achieve the goal of the following objectives

Less Contamination
Less Emissions
Less Traffic Noise

Estimation Technique

The GreenUR tool’s estimation technique depends on a variety of factors, including the amount of green space per person, the proximity of green space to people’s homes, and the number of parks and other green spaces in a city. This information can be used to help inform planning decisions about where to locate new parks or other green spaces and how to improve access to existing ones.
