| Abstract |
With a growth in the recognition of the value of green roofs, both as an alternative approach to securing city green space and as an entity that can provide such diverse benefits as landscape enhancement, mitigation of heat-island effect, rainwater storage, policies to support and expand green roofs are being actively promoted in many countries. Research on the effects of green roofs and their functions has been carried out, but validation studies on the function of green roofs as an ecological space in an urban ecological system have been performed only on a temporary or piecemeal basis due to the cost, time, and complexity of the factors involved. Accordingly, in this research, an attempt was made to present the possibility of green roofs as an ecological space through the results of monitoring research. As a result of this research, we have discovered that depending on the plant type (planting species, planting pattern, etc.) and introductory elements (soil condition, water space, habitation base facilities, etc.), different characteristics of invasive plants can emerge, and that it is possible to realize diverse ecological potentials through the appropriate introduction of these choices. Based on these results, the research presents a step-by-step design that takes ecological functions into consideration from the location stage to the management stage, together with an exploration of development plans that are related to monitoring at the present stage. |
