“…So, the subject is the benefit of cities from the green areas; the main reason of this matter may be explained by two factors. These factors must be the quantity of planted surfaces in the green areas (Schipperijn et al 2010a) and the public ownership. Therefore, the effect of some subfactors determined by the mentioned two main factors should be reflected in city planning to show out the effectiveness of the green area species.…”

green areas, green areas per capita, green area standards, urban planning, green urban areas, urban greenery.Energy consumption that will affect our future is highly related to green areas in urban and the environment. Green areas have the qualities to reduce the energy consumption of cities as well as buildings. Therefore, green areas now are taking over much more missions than ever before. In this paper, a different calculation method as "effecting green area"has been introduced depending on coefficients of different qualified green area groups according to their performances. This method is not determined new green area standard value, just put on reducing the green areas sizes as temporarily by purposing more efficiency on urban benefits. …………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-The Importance of Green Area PlanningEnergy consumption is the main subject that will affect the future of our World. International Energy Agency (IEA) declares that buildings are responsible for at least % 40 of the primary energy consumption and % 24 of the global carbon dioxide emission of the world (Mira, 2013).In cities, building masses constitute the main part of the areas that we are settled. It is obviously true that each one of these building masses is an energy consumption source. That is the reason why as the masses increase, the energy consumption increases.However, due to needs of civilisation, each day the need for these building masses is getting inevitable. Consequently, the subject of decreasing the energy consumption of building masses is getting more and more important.As the result, the concept of decreasing the energy consumption by increasing the relation of building masses with nature is maturing.This new concept is an economic and sustainable approach in harmony with nature. This way of thinking diverts the architects and city planners to pay much more attention to the importance of sustainable architecture and urbanism and especially to the effect of plants on city life. "Green architecture," "roof gardens," "green terraces," "vertical vegetation, etc. are designing approaches which are all included in the concept of "sustainability". They are designings implying that the plants placed on buildings show that inside or around the cities the tendency to green is relatively increasing. Today, the effects of green terraces and green roofs decreasing the energy consumption regarding heat losses for buildings and indirectly for the cities are plainly noticed. For example, the importance of green on the building, reducing the value of the heat conduction coefficient of the Corresponding Author:-Sema Karaguler.

Urban Green Space Development has become a challenging task for city governments especially in Indonesia, due to high prices of land around urban centers. On the other hand, there are inconsistencies between land use and land allocation within the city planning. In Surabaya City, quite a lot of gas stations were built on areas which are originally intended for green open spaces. Surabaya City Municipality is strongly committed to reconvert Gas Station Areas to green open spaces as determined in the plan. Innovative strategies have enabled the city government to reconvert 13 gas stations to public parks. This paper analyzes the implementation process of the Urban Green Space Reconversion Policy, describing the historical details of the issues, the taking over of land from gas station owners, and the park development and campaigning. Discussion also includes the most influential factors in this success story.

Unplanned urbanization has caused serious ecological imbalances in Dhaka city. This study investigates the efficiency and utilization of urban green space especially parks of Dhaka city. The case study site covers urban parks of Dhaka metropolitan area of Bangladesh. Two aspects (physical and social) were applied for this study. For physical aspect, methods were used RS (Remote Sensing) and GIS (Geographic Information System) of three periods of images (Dhaka city). And for social aspect, methods were used questionnaire survey, observation, photographs, sketch and previous information about parks. After calculating all data result was showed by maps using GIS. For the changing pattern of green space of periods 1972, 1989 and 2010, result showed that the variation of the green space changes rate was high and gradually green space deceased and build up area increased in Dhaka city. Again according to physical size, parks of Dhaka city were classified into four types: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large parks. Small parks of Dhaka city were situated beside the residential area and were used as daily purpose. Medium parks were located beside commercial area and its use was for daily and weekly. Large parks were placed at city center and only one extra large park was found outer range of city area. In large parks, people mainly visited monthly or occasionally. Moreover, the spatial-temporal changes of images showed the present status of green space of the city. The consequence of the study reveals that the utilization of park was controlled by various factors in Dhaka city.
