Abstract
Urban green spaces (UGS) offer social and environmental benefits to urban life. However, the urban green spaces are not distributed equally. Urban parks constitute critical biodiversity hotspots in crowded, concrete and dominated city environment the study explored mapping methodology to create thematic map of public urban green spaces using GIS, a thematic map of Mysuru city, India was prepared. The objective of the study is to map UGS in Mysuru, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), uncover differences in the spatial distribution of urban parks and to find out various served, over served and unserved areas of the city. Change in amount of greenness of the study area during the specified year is compared by finding Normalized difference vegetative index values with help of Arc GIS. Fish net is created to find the distribution of parks within the study area. And observed that there is increase in vegetation cover within specified period and the distribution. This study helps planners and policy makers for sustainable development of the city by conserving the urban green spaces.
