“…Thus, the role of local governments and participatory networks like non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in guiding multiple key actors through local guidelines is crucial to overcome barriers [29]. We support authors who argue that participatory guidelines contribute to acceptance, good perception, and awareness from various parties, and that they can encourage the niche growth in developing countries [37]. The BBRG compensate the lack of empirical data and scientific studies in the local Colombian context, with the participatory process as an alternative way to arrive at an empirical ground based on the experience of every actor and stakeholder.…”

A growing number of local green roof niches across the globe are transitioning into the mainstream domain. Guidelines are key to this process, as they define technological environments and set the criteria for best practices in a given socio-technical setting. Although the German Forschungsgesellschaft Landschaftsentwicklung Landschaftsbau (FLL) cornerstone guidelines provided solid empirical ground and established technical parameters for the successful application of green roofs across continents, investigations about alternative green roof guidelines for emerging markets remain very scarce. The paper presents the inclusive approach followed by the Bogota Green Roof Guidelines, which were the result of a multi-actor participatory process that examined how to embrace a wide range of emerging green roof technologies and local adaptations while promoting quality of application at different scales, regardless of the system used, and despite the absence of local robust empirical data on performance parameters. As a result, Bogota’s Green Roof Guidelines incorporated ad hoc elements: (1) new definitions and taxonomy, (2) function-based contents, (3) multi-scale approach, and (4) performance scoping. These aspects are discussed to provide novel insights for the advancement of green infrastructure policies in diverse institutional settings aiming to promote quality and simultaneously support markets that make room for a wide variety of green infrastructure practices.

“…Urbanisation had increased the impermeable area, for example, as reported by [1,2], where the green areas per capita in Kuala Lumpur urban area were decreased from 13 m 2 to 8.5 m 2 between 2010 and 2014. A study by [3] demonstrated that the vegetated areas significantly decreased due to rapid urban growth between 1991 to 2001, increasing the surface temperature and modifying the urban microclimate.…”

“…In order to replicate the natural function of vegetation of rural 1022 (2022) 012078 IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1022/1/012078 2 areas in urban areas, a green roof structure may provide potential urban habitat for flora and fauna on the wasted and hot urban roof areas. Green roofs may provide an effective strategy to deal with environmental problems, a sustainable yet creative solution for space scarcity in the urban area, which improves the quality of life of humans [2]. However, understanding the evapotranspiration estimation based on the current climatic condition of the selected area study may be needed to provide an initial overview of the current situation of climatic changes due to urbanisation.…”

Urbanisation had replaced the vegetation and soil cover, increasing heat retention by reducing the benefits of natural cooling mechanisms provided by evapotranspiration. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of the alternative estimation performance for selected evapotranspiration (ET) methods for Batu Pahat station; for further prediction on the changes of future climatic parameters. Since the data is limited, ET0 estimation using temperature-based used are the Thornthwaite, Blaney-Criddle (original) and FAO Blaney-Criddle methods. Standard data formulation based on Batu Pahat latitude for meteorological parameters were used to estimate ET0 using basic radiation-based, the Penman (original) and Turc methods. Correlation results show that all three temperature-based methods estimated a similar range of ET0. For the radiation-based method, the Turc method seems slightly overestimated than the other four methods. However, these estimation needs to be explored further using the benchmark method, i.e., the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith, for the accuracy and reliabilities of these methods. Apart from temperature, it was found that ET0 did not correlate with rainfall and evaporation.

“…The idea of turning green roof as public space is widely accepted globally as urban development continue to threaten green space for recreational use in city areas. More recent developments such as office buildings and residential apartments incorporate green roofs as communal spaces that include shared facilities and amenities (Ismail et al, 2018). However, given the location few floors above ground level and hidden from street-level view affecting public visibility on the green roof and reduce public accessibility.…”

Natural surveillance strategy in public areas can be established with high crowd engagement. Consideration of the type of pathway layout of green roof would determine the rate of public engagement, thus creating a safe environment for people to use the facility. Application of Space Syntax allows the analysis in determining pathway design layout with the highest rate of traffic engagement. Comparing a similar number of nodes and axial lines shows that axial line with more intersecting points creates more possibility of human interaction, higher crowd engagement thus functioning as natural surveillance in green roof setting.
