“…These strategies will make up the significant impacts on the prospect of greenbelt. Kim et al (2019) have mentioned that the effectiveness of a greenbelt strategy is controversial due to its different effects. Some researchers have claimed that the proper strategies in greenbelt planning can result in sprawl restriction (Amati and Yokohari 2006; Woo and Guldmann 2011), while other researchers have noted that the unsuitable greenbelt strategies can encourage leapfrog development (Jun and Hur 2001;Dawkins and Nelson 2002;Bae and Jun 2003;Ogura 2010).…”

“…Currently, greenbelt policies have been adopted by many cities around the world (Yokohari et al 2000;Kuhn 2003;Fung and Conway 2007). Recently, Kim et al (2019) have noted that the effectiveness of the greenbelt plan may also depend on the stage of urban development. Indeed, the greenbelt affects the shape of cities by surrounding urban patches with a belt of agricultural or open areas, enforcing on land development from the city edges to remote suburb areas (Wang et al 2002).…”

Background: Greenbelt, known as the most restrictive form of urban containment policy, is a geographical boundary around a city or urban region to prevent urban sprawl. In the present study, the urban greenbelt plans were investigated with spatial, temporal, and statistical attitudes in Mashhad city, Iran. Spatial and temporal data analyses were carried out in ENVI, and GIS programs based on satellite imageries in addition to the expert analyzes of SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) and QSPM (quantitative strategic planning matrix) matrixes to achieve the key strategies concerning the revitalization of a new greenbelt plan. Results: Four temporal sequences of Landsat imageries were extracted for 1988, 1998, 2008, and 2018 to classify the expansion of real estates and urban sprawl. The results showed that the legal greenbelt plan failed after 10 years because the status of greenbelt in 2018 revealed nearly of occupation by sprawl expansion over than 20%. Then a new greenbelt plan was proposed around the city. Based on the lowest value of the environmental change index (ΔY i), with an average of 0.14, the proposed greenbelt plan will demonstrate an optimum efficiency in the future time intervals (2030-2050). Conclusions: Therefore, expert analyzes of SWOT and QSPM matrixes were shown that the essential weakness of greenbelt planning in the Mashhad city depends on the lack of a legal mechanism to conserve the greenbelt boundaries. Therefore, the total sum score of external factor's matrix with the value of 2.65 demonstrated that the opportunities for greenbelt planning in the study area are more effective than threats in the study area. Ultimately, six key strategies in greenbelt planning were presented to achieve a general equilibrium through future urban development.

“…There has been disagreement in previous studies on whether greenbelts positively or negatively affect land prices. Furthermore, it is difficult to conclude whether greenbelts are an effective policy tool or not, because the effectiveness of the greenbelt policy depends on local conditions of the land market, such as the size of developable lands between the core city and the greenbelt [11]. Although the greenbelt provides plenty of amenities for people, its effectiveness as a policy tool is disappearing [12].…”

The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of development-restricted areas (DRAs) on land price. The study area used was Goyang city in South Korea, where DRAs occupy a large proportion of the city’s administrative area. To examine the economic impact of the DRA, this study estimated log-linear regression models and calculated the difference between the land price determined within the DRA and the land price of the developed areas within buffers created by using a geographic information system (GIS). The results showed that a designation of DRA decreased land price, and that there was a large difference in the land price between the inner and the outer DRA, with a difference of USD 871/m2 in the average land price of the study area. These results serve as a reference for policymakers regarding land use in metropolitan areas in the future.

“…For instance, Bengston and Youn concluded that in comparison to London, Seoul's urban containment policy has largely failed to keep development from invading the Capital Region beyond the green belt. The intense pressure of exceptionally rapid urban growth has been too much to contain [26].…”

To What Extent Can the Green Belts Prevent Urban Sprawl?—A Comparative Study of Frankfurt am Main, London and Seoul

et al. 2020

A salient issue facing contemporary urban development in many countries is that the physical areas of major cities are growing at a faster rate than their populations. The popularity of the green belt concept among advocates is that it can effectively counter urban sprawl while safeguarding the countryside from urban development. This paper is intended to measure the efficacy of the green belt in preventing urban sprawl through an international comparative study in three cities of different sizes, and which have experienced different urban growth pressures, namely Frankfurt am Main (Germany), London (UK), and Seoul (South Korea). The study adopts the urban sprawl measurement methodological framework defined by Jaeger et al. to process GHSL data in order to examine the urban sprawl index in the three case study cities. This quantitative evidence-based comparative study demonstrates that the designation of green belts has failed to prevent urban sprawl both within urban centers and at a wider regional level.
