A Basic Study on City Green Image Making Using Symbol of Trees
Even if people living well-being need more green space and green experience in urban area, there is not enough open space like trees and forests. It may be caused by which the image elements of city are focalized only on physical elements like buildings, structures, etc. since Lynch's 'the image of the city'. This study tries to create new green image elements instead of the physical city image elements of Lynch style. For making new green elements it is used symbol, image, and meaning of trees abtained from results of reviewing in arts, music, religion, literature, myth, etc.
The 5 new green image elements are water, isolated trees, green corridors, forests, and forest cultural event. Water is origin of all green lives, isolated trees are natural monuments(trees) and big trees, green corridors are street trees and green way, forests are woodland in city, parks, and village forests, and forest cultural event is events related to forest culture.
