The importance of urban green infrastructure on the example of the city of Zagreb

Ovaj rad bavi se urbanom zelenom infrastrukturom, odnosno dostupnošću i rasprostranjenošću u gradu Zagrebu. Objektivni pristup bio je ključan te usredotočen na stanje okoliša i dostupnost zelene infrastrukture koji vodi poboljšanju života. Budući da nema mnogo istraživanja koja se bave ovom temom, rad je usmjeren na analizu dokumenata i prostornih podataka kako bi se utvrdilo stanje u Zagrebu. Analizom dokumenata utvrđena je potreba nadogradnje GUP-a te izrada Strategije zelene infrastrukture grada Zagreba. Rezultati prostorne analize pokazali su neravnomjernu raspoređenost urbane zelene infrastrukture po četvrtima grada Zagreba. Također, analizom je ustanovljena nejednaka raspoređenost biciklističke i sportske infrastrukture po četvrtima te je neophodno ulaganje u razvoj. Razvoj je potrebno usmjeriti prema izgradnji održivog grada Zagreba s kvalitetnom urbanom zelenom infrastrukturom i popratnim sadržajima.This thesis deals with urban green infrastructure, precisely availability and distribution in the city of Zagreb. We used an objective approach that focuses on the state of the environment and the availability of green infrastructure that leads to the improvement of life. Since there is not much research dealing with this topic, the focus of the work was to determine the situation in Zagreb by analyzing documents and spatial data. The analysis of the documents determined that it is necessary to upgrade the GUP and create the Green Infrastructure Strategy of the City of Zagreb. The results of the spatial analysis showed an uneven distribution of urban green infrastructure in the districts of the city of Zagreb. Also, the analysis established the unequal distribution of cycling and sports infrastructure by district, and it is necessary to invest in further development. It is necessary to direct development towards building a sustainable city of Zagreb with high-quality urban green infrastructure and accompanying facilities
