본 연구는 일본 고베시 로코아일랜드 완충녹지의 공간기능별 지형구조, 식재개념, 식재구조를 조사분석하여 해안매립도시의 토지이용을 고려한 완충녹지 식재기법 연구 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 로코아일랜드(총면적 580ha)는 대규모 완충녹지를 박스형으로 조성하여 외곽부의 항만물류 산업용지와 도시내부 도시기능용지로 구획되었다. 완충녹지 지형구조는 편향마운딩형, 병렬마운딩형, 복합마운딩형이었고, 북쪽의 녹지폭은 50m, 동쪽의 녹지폭은 8~32m, 서쪽의 녹지폭은 37.5m, 경사도는 18~25˚, 성토고는 2~15m이었다. 공간기능별 재개념은 해안측 사면부는 경관식재와 완충식재, 도시내부는 경관식재와 녹음식재를 적용하였다. 북측 완충녹지 식재구조 조사결과, 종가시나무, 녹나무, 후박나무, 녹보리똥나무 등 난온대 상록활엽수를 식재하였고, 100mm2단위의 종수 및 식재밀도는 최대 교목 9종 22주, 아교목 9종 15주, 관목 3종 67주로 전 층위 14종 104주이었다. 녹피율은 교목층 69~139%, 아교목층 26~38%, 관목층 6~7%, 전 층위 101~184%, 녹지용적계수는 교목층 1.40~3.12m3/m2, 아교목층 0.43~0.55m3/m2, 관목층 0.06m3/m2, 전 층위 1.89~3.73m3/m2이었다.
This study was carried out to suggest the basic data of planting method for construction of buffer green space based on the land use in case of reclaimed land by analyzing land structure, planting concept, and planting structure in buffer green space, Rokko Island, Kobe, Japan. Rokko Island(total area: 580ha) is divided into port and logistics industry area and urban area by constructing the box type large-scale buffer green space. The land structure of buffer green space were biased mounding type, parallel mounding type, and complex mounding type. The width of buffer green space was 50meters in case of northern area, from 28 to 32meters in case of eastern area, and 37.5meters in case of western area, and the slope of that was from 18 to 25 degrees and the height of that was from 2 to 15meters. There were applied landscape and buffer planting concept on the sea side area of northern buffer green space, on the other hand landscape and shade planting concept on the Inner city side area of that. According to the result of planting structure analysis of northern buffer green space, the main woody species were those of deciduous-evergreen species grow in warm-temperate forest zone such as Quercus glauca, Cinnamomum camphora, Machilus thunbergii, Elaeagnus maritima. The results of maximum number of species and planting density by 100mm2 was that 9 species 22 individuals in canopy layer, 9 species 15 individuals in understory layer, 3 species 67 individuals in shrub layer, and 14 species 104 individuals in total. The plant coverage of northern buffer green space based on the ecological planting method was from 69 to 139% in case of canopy layer, from 26 to 38% in case of understory layer, from 6 to 7% in case of shrub layer, and from 101 to 184% in total. Index of plant crown volume of northern buffer green space based on the ecological planting method was from 1.40 to 3.12m3/m2 in case of canopy layer, from 0.43 to 0.55m3/m2 in case of understory layer, 0.06m3/m2 in case of shrub layer, and from 1.89 to 3.73m3/m2 in total.
