GIS Spatial Decision Support in Sustainable Landscape Design

GIS Spatial Decision Support in Sustainable Landscape Design

The purpose of this study is to create a spatial decision support system for sustainable landscape design in an urban setting. As more and more of the worlds population concentrates in cites, the design of these spaces becomes critical to global sustainability. The built environment exhibits differe...

As more and more of the worlds population concentrates in cites, the design of these spaces becomes critical to global sustainability. The built environment exhibits different environmental conditions than its rural or natural counterparts—the following study focuses on building a GIS model of unique sun exposure conditions at a site, and using this model in a spatial decision support system. The system will compare the exposure needs of just over 150 native or near native plants with the exposure availability of Tucson's Historic Y Building, and provide tailored list for each area. This will allow for design flexibility within sustainable parameters. 2015 text Electronic Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10150/595059 en_US Copyright © is held by the author.
