sustainable landscape practices|
INTRODUCTION sustainable landscape encompasses a variety of practices that have developed in response to environmental issues. It is part of glowing global effort in the landscaping industry to create aesthetically pleasing landscapes. While improving and conserving the environment and saving money. It is that conforms surrounding it, requiring only inputs ex-water fertilizer that are naturally available with little or no additional support, it is self-sustaining over long period of time. Sustainable landscape initiatives aim to protect forests and other ecosystems which provide important services, while providing social and financial benefits. Following are components of sustainable landscape practices water- rainwater reduces flooding and erosion. Reduces water bills and demand on ground water. Grey water reuse - saving fresh water. Reducing the amount of wastewater entering sewers or onsite treatment systems. Soil-healthy soil is an important foundation for every landscape different soil have varying water needs. Plants- use of native plants benefits of using native plants include to local climates, less watering and maintenance. This paper aims to conduct survey for parameters of designing green spaces for sustainable landscape practices. To answer the research query comparative analysis of two sites will be done .one site is public garden of New York city and another site high point residential Grey field development. Both sites are of different climate. definition of sustainable landscape- definition of sustainable landscape is not straightforward, not least because of the differing contexts in which it is framed. In relation to large scale exurban landscapes, an exaggerated, but not groundless, caricature is to contrast a “New World” view of something relatively pristine that sometimes needs ecosystem management with an “Old World” view of a palimpsest that requires the maintenance of traditional land-management practices to sustain subtle character distinctions. In relation to landscape architecture and planning, there is a professional subculture that interprets sustainability in terms of low impact, but physically and socially pertinent, design (Dunnett & Clayden , 2007) and a scenic planning subculture that designates and safeguards rural areas on the basis of “natural” aesthetic value (Brown et al.2005). The discourses of these traditions are often quite distinct and lead to varied interpretations of sustainability. They also differ in the degree to which landscape sustainability is anthropocentrically defined (as a resource underpinning human well being) or eco centrically defined (as a selfregenerative dynamic system). This essay analyzes what sustainable landscape might mean in practice, proposing some principles potentially relevant to a spectrum of traditions and geographical contexts. The author is grounded in the European context and acknowledges this bias; however, as Phillips (2002) has noted in relation to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Protected Landscape Category V, such cultural landscapes/seascapes are by no means exclusive to Europe or, indeed, the “Old World.” Dimensions of sustainable landscapes: environment, economics, society, governance, aesthetics Sustainable development is generally considered to be at the intersection of environment, economy, and society, although these terms are now often expanded into phrases reflecting ecosystem services and limits, fair and durable prosperity, and health and social justice. Many authors also draw attention to a Selman: Sustainable Landscape fourth dimension of “political sustainability,” referring to governance mechanisms that continuously deliver sustainable development through the use of responsible science and economics. In the case of landscape, it is also uniquely important to
