Comprehensive Evaluation on Plant Landscape of Roof Gardens in Suzhou based on SBE and AHP
The development of roof greening is an effective measure to increase the proportion of green space,optimize the quality of landscape and improve the ecological environment in cities.Plants are the main carrier to play artistic and ecological value as the only element of life in the roof greening.Taking 60 plant landscape units in the roof gardens in Suzhou as examples,the artistry and ecology of the plant landscape units were evaluated using beauty evaluation method(SBE)and analytic hierarchy process(AHP).Results showed that the combination of plant types,matching degree of the plant landscape and environment,healthy degree and ornamental value of the plants and color of the plant landscape significantly impacted the artistry of the plant landscape,and the matching degree of the plant landscape and environment can be used as a characteristic evaluation factor to evaluate the artistry of the plant landscape of roof gardens.The species diversity and structural stability,plant expansion and planting density were decisive factors for the ecology of the plant landscape,which were of great significance to the sustainable construction of the plant landscape of roof gardens.This study can provide a basis for exploring the comprehensive evaluation method of the plant landscape and further improving the synthetic value of the plant landscape of roof gardens.
