Geographic Information System (GIS) data with the following mapping layers from the Greenbelt Plan: * outer boundaries * protected countryside and urban river valley designations * specialty crop areas (Niagara tender fruit, grape area and Holland Marsh) * settlement areas (towns, villages and hamlets) * river valley connections. The data also contains associated policy designation mapping.

This is a point dataset representing City of Boise Greenbelt map locations. A Greenbelt map is a sign along the Boise River that shows a map of the user's location relative to the system. The Greenbelt is a 25-mile pathway system, primarily along the Boise River. The Greenbelt has map signage along its length that is intended to both guide and orient visitors during use. The data was created by the City of Boise. The data is updated as needed. It is current to the date of publication. For more information about the Boise Greenbelt please visit City of Boise Parks & Recreation.

A council development plan may designate a green belt around a city or town to support the spatial strategy by: - directing development to the most appropriate locations and supporting regeneration; - protecting and enhancing the character, landscape setting and identity of the settlement; and - protecting and providing access to open space. This dataset has been developed as a polygon layer.

In an urban setting, parks are created and allocated to serve a broad range of public needs. Accessible green space is an essential way to improve quality of life—providing opportunities from active healthy living to environmental resiliency. Parks strengthen our families and our Neighborhoods, and are designed to creatively bring us together as a community. While parks and green space, as a whole, are appreciated for recreation, open space offers other types of opportunities, such as designed sustainable initiatives, improving the local watershed, expanding green technology or transportation alternatives.A green space inventory, in part with the Albany 2030 Comprehensive Plan, was conducted to identify areas where the community has access to outdoor areas within a quarter-mile (or 15-minute) walking radius. Therefore this GIS inventory does not just include official City-managed parks, but combines lists and observances where other accessible open space exists (such as, pocket parks, community gardens, dog parks, sites of beautification, historic landmarks, road medians, etc.) that offer an opportunity for active recreation, passive enjoyment or sustainability initiatives (i.e., multi-use paths, stormwater management, etc.). The properties are managed jointly by the Department of Recreation and the Department of General Services. The City continues to implement its Park Renovation Plan, a City-funded effort to upgrade play spaces with improved accessibility, playground equipment, and picnic areas for people of all ages and abilities, in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Albany is 25% green space—almost three times the recommended recreational acres-to-person ratio, according to the National Recreation & Park Association. This list of open space continues to grow and change along with recreational opportunities, maintenance support, funding sources, and community needs.

Latest version of the Nottingham / Derby Green Belt within Broxtowe Borough

Ridge and Upland Greenbelt is designated in the Marin Countywide Plan as "visually prominate ridgelines". They are also known as "community separators". The map denotes the spatial extent defined in the Countywide Plan.The Ridge and Upland Greenbelt (RUG) does not follow a specific contour interval. Rather, a contour line was determined for each area on a case-by-case basis when originally mapped. The RUG is based on large maps prepared by Marin County Parks (not sure if these historic maps have been archived) and were digitized at the time using rudimentary software for the 1994 CWP. Staff revised the RUG in the 2007 CWP to refine the line work to make it more accurate using property boundaries, maps, and aerial photography. The RUG was updated to follow contour lines and parcel boundaries, where feasible. In most areas the RUG boundary was expanded to include publicly owned hillside parcels, such as Marin County Open Space District and city-owned parcels. Privately owned lands were considered for inclusion in the RUG boundary if the parcels were clustered together and undeveloped. For parcels in unincorporated areas, those with Planned District zoning were also considered. Information on lot size, zoning, and development potential was queried from the land use database. In generally, already developed parcels were not considered for addition into the RUG boundary.

This map contains information about closures and detours for the Boise Greenbelt urban trail system. The 25-mile Boise River Greenbelt is one of Boise's most beloved parks. The tree-lined pathway follows the river through the heart of the city and provides scenic views, wildlife habitat and pedestrian access to many of the city's popular riverside parks. The Greenbelt also serves as an alternative transportation route for commuters.For more information, please visit City of Boise Parks and Recreation.

This map was created by the GLA in 2017 as a preliminary analysis of the potential for woodland creation in London’s Green Belt, which covers 35,000 hectares. The map shows land in London’s Green Belt which could have potential for woodland creation, described as, ‘plantable areas’, based on an assessment of land use data.

Green Belt - The functions of the Green Belt are to: check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas; prevent neighbouring towns from merging into one another; assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment; preserve the setting and special character of historic towns; and assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land.

IPG 6 Green Belt

1. Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) encompass a range of social, cultural and health benefits to local communities, for example recreation, spirituality, a sense of place and local identity. However, these complex and place-specific CES are often overlooked in rapid land management decisions and assessed using broad, top–down approaches. 2. We use the Toolkit for Ecosystem Service Site-based Assessment (TESSA) to examine a novel approach to rapid assessment of local CES provision using inductive, participatory methods. We combined free-listing and participatory geographic information systems (GIS) techniques to quantify and map perceptions of current CES provision of an urban green space. The results were then statistically compared with those of a proposed alternative scenario with the aim to inform future decision-making. 3. By identifying changes in the spatial hotspots of CES in our study area, we revealed a spatially-specific shift toward positive sentiment regarding several CES under the alternative state with variance across demographic and stakeholder groups. Response aggregations in areas of proposed development reveal previously unknown stakeholder preferences to local decision-makers and highlight potential trade-offs for conservation management. Free-listed responses revealed deeper insight into personal opinion and context. 4. This work serves as a useful case study on how the perceptions and opinions of local people regarding local CES could be accounted for in the future planning of an urban greenspace and how thorough analysis of CES provision is important to fully-inform local-scale conservation and planning for the mutual benefit of local communities and nature.
