Advances in GIS-Based Assessment of Urban Green Infrastructure

This systematic review examines the advancements in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for assessing Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) from 2020 to 2024. It integrates research methodologies, application sectors, trends, and issues related to GIS-based assessments. The review analyzes literature from Scopus and Web of Science, narrowing down to 20 relevant articles after eliminating duplicates and irrelevant studies. Key themes include accessibility, ecological services, resilience, environmental justice, social benefits, and aesthetics. The study highlights the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing data analysis and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in UGI assessments. The review identifies gaps in existing research, particularly in integrating various methodologies and addressing aesthetic, social, and ecological factors. The objectives include evaluating components of UGI assessed with GIS, examining methodological approaches, and identifying innovations stemming from interdisciplinary integration. The findings aim to inform urban planners and policymakers on effective GIS methodologies for sustainable urban development.
