Implication

Spatial assessment reveals widespread non-compliance and poor maintenance in municipal green spaces, indicating the need for integrated green infrastructure planning.

Key Points

To establish a green infrastructure planning framework by evaluating how existing public green spaces align with statutory planning requirements and physical maintenance standards.
Conducted a GIS-based spatial analysis and field surveys evaluating 89 public green spaces in Noicattaro, Italy, for planning compliance and maintenance conditions.
Mapped surrounding peri-urban features, including karstic dry valleys (Lame), agricultural zones, and hydrogeological planning constraints to identify ecological corridors.
Only 20.2% of surveyed public green spaces satisfied both regulatory planning provisions and adequate maintenance criteria.
A total of 78.4% of evaluated green spaces suffered from planning non-compliance, deficient maintenance, or both.
Surveys of the dry valleys (Lame) identified a predominance of agricultural land over natural vegetation, demonstrating that peri-urban farmland is critical for establishing ecological connectivity.
