It also provides the functionalities of leisure and culture, decreasing the environment impacts of surrounding areas, and conserving soil and water resources. In this study, arts and cultural center at Puli Township in Nantou County is selected to explore the vegetation status and the benefits of placement improvement according to green building design techniques to reduce carbon emissions, cultural and leisure orientation for the reference of carbon stock and maintenance of the community neighborhood park. Land use and carbon stock changes according to 1995 and 2009 of the land use map data derived from Land Surveying and Mapping Center. The table for estimating the average carbon stock in the different variety of vegetation is recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC. Differences in total carbon stocks show that there is about 174.42 tons decreasing after the construction of the community neighborhood park due to increasing building areas. The total carbon stock of the park is about 183.5 tons based on the calculation of greenery indicator recommended by the Green Building and commentary Assessment Manual, which is similar to the estimation of IPPC method. The carbon stock per unit area for the park is higher than that of the urban planning region (49.10 t/ha). The amount of occupation areas for each vegetation type in the community neighborhood park is list as follows: broad-leaved trees, palm trees, eco-stratified trees, shrubs, and lawn in order. The value of Spatial Dispersion Index for the vegetation is only 0.043, which indicating an aggregated distribution and probably due to the consideration of layout for the main buildings in the park. Consider the benefits of carbon reduction and enhancement of human recreation, eco-stratified trees and lawn are the two types of vegetation which can be used to effectively improve the status of vegetation. The amount of total carbon dioxide fixed can be increasing to 189 kg/m2 as compared to the status. The amount of TCO2 is greater than that of TCO2C after the replanning which fits the regulation standards of greenery indicator and can both reflect the benefits of carbon reduction and create a cultural and ecological melting high-quality park.
