“…These include incorporating diverse vegetation and landscaping features (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1989), providing adequate seating and shade (Carr et al, 1992), ensuring accessibility for all individuals (Crawford et al, 2003), and integrating amenities such as playgrounds, sports facilities, and walking trails (Cohen et al, 2017). Moreover, open spaces contribute to the overall landscape character of cities and help address crucial urban planning issues such as flooding and the urban heat island effect, as highlighted in a study by Lenzholzer (2015).…”

Public open spaces play a key role in urban environments, providing recreational opportunities, enhancing the quality of life, and contributing to the overall attractiveness of a neighborhood. Newly developed public open spaces on surrounding land value changes are important for urban planning and development. Within the last 10 years period most open spaces developed in the Colombo suburban area and there are clear land value changes in those areas. Bellanwila-Atthidiya Waras Ganga open space is one of the most attracted open space in the Colombo suburbs and significantly surrounding land values are changed after the project. This research aims to examine the effect on land values in surrounding area due to this project and research devotes a quantitative approach, using GIS based geo statistical analysis. Land value data, including sales transactions and property assessments, will be collected from relevant government agencies and real estate databases. The collected land value data was used to create geospatial maps using ArcGIS 10.8 spatial interpolation. Various proximity factors and demographic characteristics affected to change land values in this area, also considered for this analysis. Study results indicates, there is a significant relationship between residential land value changes in the lands surrounding public open space and it is 7.2% impact on land value changes The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the relationship between public open spaces and land values in the Colombo suburban area. The results are useful for urban planners, policymakers, and real estate developers about the potential economic benefits associated with public open spaces.

“…The growth of the urban population has economic and environmental effects [4]; however, ecological changes have received a lot of attention as a result of climate change and global warming, which have direct ramifications for human existence. Lenzholzer [14] noted that the urban climate differs significantly from that of the rural and that even inside a city; the microclimate fluctuates explaining that the urban environment is very different from the countryside, and even the intra-urban microclimate varies among places in the same town. Environmental damage continues to be exacerbated by pollution, land-surface changes, and urban heat.…”

In the twenty-first century, urban heat islands (UHIs) have become a major problem for humanity as a consequence of urbanization and industrialization. The main causes of UHI are the vast amounts of heat generated by urban structures as they consume and re-radiate solar energy and anthropogenic heat sources. The two heat sources cause an urban area’s temperature to rise above its surroundings, a phenomenon known as Urban Heat Island (UHI). Many approaches, methods, models, and investigative tools have been implemented to study and analysis this phenomenon. In general, green areas in cities are thought to be an effective approach to mitigate urban heat island effects and bring comfort to residents. The improvement of microclimatic conditions in urban environments is mostly influenced by evapotranspiration. Most of the studies show a rising trend in the UHI, which is linked to decreased plant cover and land-use changes. The main objectives of this paper were to explain the concept, formation factors, and influential factors of UHI. In addition, the most common strategies and tools that are applied in mitigating rising temperatures in urban areas were reviewed and summarized. The finding of several studies showed that increasing urban vegetation areas in addition to optimizing their spatial distribution and configuration is an effective strategy to reduce the impact of UHI.
