Abstract

Green spaces are one of the most important indicators of the urban environment quality. The quantitative information on the green areas is necessary for the calculation of a total index of the urban environment quality submitted annually to the government statistics bodies. Such information can also be obtained by means of geoinformation systems that provide multiple opportunities of their application in this area: map generating, data base building, information actualization. The article considers the application of voluntary geographic information from the web-cartographic project OpenStreetMap (OSM) and the GIS technology to assess the area of the city greenery. The authors provide an example for the use of the geoinformation system with an open code QGIS to calculate the areas of green spaces in Volgograd. The application of the method suggested allows significantly reducing the time and labor effort to obtain the indicators of urban environment planting.
