Figure 1: Major open space components of S ydney (Coleman 2006, p. 4). Introduction As different programs on urban consolidation are aimed at investigating the use, potential benefits, and possible implementation of similar practices in other areas, the current report is aimed at analysing the open space areas of Sydney with the help of secondary sources. Mapping out the greenery in the area will help us to consider its biodiversity, green space and human activities there. It is crucial to be aware of the green spaces of Sydney and its suburbs to see the scope of the problem, connected with urbanisation and industrialization. However, Sydney can be considered one of the greenest cities as every citizen of this city has an opportunity to spend some time in the green area due to the number and location of parks of different types. It is obvious that the green coverage must be in the city and the thorough research of such places may help to preserve the nature in big industrial cities. The understanding and acceptance of the pr oblem is crucial for making a step to the problem resolving.Advertising Looking for report on environmental studies? Let's see if we can help you!

So, the materials for the report include secondary sources whereas the method concerns data collection and data analysis. Investigation concerned the problems existing in the sector of open space areas in Sydney and possible ways of solving those. However, this very issue suggested a dilemma because residential areas cannot be extended at the expense of open space areas eliminating parks and green territories. In this respect, it is necessary to look at the Fig. 1 to see how effective the location of green spaces is organis ed in Sydney when people live within easy reach from parks and gardens. Though the data collection was conducted with the help of information retrieved from secondary sources, it is necessary to perform the analysis of data collected. The information from the map shows that there are a number of green spaces in the area. The largest spots are the Royal Botanic Garden, Moore Park, and Sydney Park. Being the biggest green spaces in the area they play a crucial role in the distribution of land resources in Sydney with regard to the burning issue of dwellings for people and impossibility of their construction without bringing damage to the open space areas. Thus, the fig. 2 introduces the dwelling projections that are planned for the period of several decades with regard to the number of dwellings in local government areas. This information means that each hectare of the employment land stock will have 33 dwelling completions which means that South Sydney, Leichhardt, and Marrickville l ocal government areas will be appropriate for the planned number of dwelling per 1 ha. Of the employment land stock whereas the number of dwellings to be built in Botany local government areas exceeds the available resources.

The data presented in Fig. 3 suggests a comparative analysis of available and planned resources in the abovementioned local government areas. Local government area Planned resources Available resources Botany 2010 1956 South Sydney 17100 17160 Leichhardt 5150 5184 Marrickville 3960 4000 Results and discussion Analysis of sources has shown that the problems are mostly related to the involvement of open space territories into the programmes that deal with dwelling completions plans aimed at providing residents of the city with appropriate number of houses in order to make sure that the problem of housing is solved for the next several decades. According to the study aimed at analysing the urban consolidation projects, â€Å"urban open spaces include: parks, sporting fields, bushland, creeks†¦, private backyards and gardens, courtyards and balconies, attractive and safe streets†¦Ã¢â‚¬  and other types of open space areas (Byrne and Sipe 2010, p. 2). In this respect, there is no problem related to the dwelling programmes though this cannot be claimed concerning other types of construction projects as the data available on this issue included the land resources available in four local government areas. Some problems concern the consolidation of urban open space areas in order to provide more space for people to have some rest from daily routine and ecological factors influential in every country all over the globe. As suggested by Searle (2003) â€Å"inner city areas have inadequate local open space even with below-peak population levels† (p. 3). In this respect, it is necessary to analyse the ways in which the open space areas can be extended and suggest possible solutions for this issue taking into consideration the importance of dwelling programmes aimed at providing residents with appropriate number of residential areas. So, comparison of programs and assessment of needs of population is of primary importance for making adequate decisions on this issue.Advertising Looking for report on environmental studies?

Cooperation and consolidation on the issue of open space areas and necessity of new dwellings can be beneficial for the authorities and programmes engaged into consideration of this controversial issue. Conclusion The research was based on the analysis of data collected from secondary sources and some information received from analysis of facts. In this respect, the research shows that it is necessary to solve the problem of dwelling construction planning with regard to the projects and programmes available for consolida tion of open space areas. Every decision made on the issue of land should be coordinated with other programmes and projects involved in this sector of activity. Reference List Byrne, Jason, and Sipe, Neil, 2010.
