Dear experts,
I am going to work on a project related to urban green-space planning. I welcome and appreciate your suggestions and comments.
The key purpose of the project is to map and analyze the current green-spaces in the city, then to detect the areas which need optimization (patch size, connectivity, etc). In fact, the output of this project should help to prepare a master plan for future green space construction in the city.
To the best of my knowledge, I should firstly map land cover pattern in the city, then I should analyze the patch size and its connection by FRAGSTATS software. Also , Land Surface Temperature map may help to find the areas which need more greenspace construction.
However, I want to know:
1. What other software do you recommend to use?
2. What kind of innovation I can have in this project so that I could publish good paper from my results?
3. Do you have any suggestion for the methodology?
4. If you know any relevant and helpful paper, please share with me.
5. Any other comment and suggestion is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Majid
