Description Though urban landscape in cities are human-mediated and often more
diverse than that in surrounding environments, little work has been done to
characterize the urban landscape in context to public and private gardens. Our aim
was to study the changing scenario of urban landscape in Delhi and NCR region by
evaluating public and private gardens. Gardens as an urban landscape feature serve
many functions as providers of passive and active recreation, environmental benefits,
and wildlife habitat centres.
For present experiment ten public and private gardens were selected, gardens
were characterized for their features, design principles and elements and it has been
found that, gardens of Delhi and NCR region depicts both Formal and Informal design
styles. Plant diversity is an important determinant of overall urban ecosystem
biodiversity, influencing the composition and abundance of associated biota; the
studies on plants used in the garden with their use were carried out with scoring and
frequency analysis. The percentage composition of plant types was also evaluated for
individual gardens. Further studies were also carried out to find different interhorticultural
operations, garden resources, garden amenities, garden convenience,
softscape, hardscape and features gardens and garden spaces in different gardens. The
garden management plays important role to keep gardens personality intact with its
aboriginal design concept. The studies conducted on public convenience, garden
amenities, softscape, hardscape, and featured gardens proved positive impact on
overall garden characterization. These techniques was developed and used in their
crude form can be used for any urban or peri-urban gardens around the world.
The detailed studies on innovations and changing scenario of urban landscape
with reference to public and private gardens was also carried out in context to old and
modern era. The designed landscape, critical habitat and recreational parameters were
studied with variables like functions, structure, value, use and icon to get precise set
of data on which a decision module is given for any future garden innovation studies.
These techniques were used for knowing the innovations and to evaluate the changing
scenario. New innovations were found from old and modern era and it has been
presented effectively in context to designed landscape, critical habitat and garden as a
source of The findings suggest that the use of each park has its own characteristics
although there appear some similarities within some of the studied use areas. As a
result, recommendations for future planning can be suggested. To make future
alternative strategies to improvise urban landscape, the gardens were evaluated on the
basis of public perceptions towards public and private gardens. The questionnaires
were made with essential classes and Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ’s) to evaluate
the gardens. It has been found that a garden visitor has sense of necessity and need
and gardens are being used differently on how one perceives it. The garden use and
need found to be different among and between different activity groups.
