Аннотация

This study focuses on the GIS-based assessment of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) in Tashkent, aiming to evaluate its spatial distribution, accessibility, and ecological effectiveness in the context of rapid urbanization. The research examines the role of green infrastructure in mitigating environmental challenges such as air pollution, urban heat island effects, and uneven distribution of green spaces. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies, including spatial analysis and remote sensing techniques, the study integrates satellite imagery and vegetation indices such as NDVI to quantify and analyze urban greenery. The findings reveal significant spatial disparities in the distribution of green infrastructure, with central areas having relatively higher green coverage compared to peripheral districts. The study also highlights issues related to fragmentation and limited accessibility of green spaces, which reduce their ecological and social benefits. Based on GIS-based analysis, the research proposes strategic recommendations for improving the planning, connectivity, and sustainability of urban green infrastructure.
