The increasing human pressure on the environment requires effective protection activities. One way to stop the degradation of natural resources is the presence of woody vegetation networks, mainly linear in character, called linear woody features, greenways or tree belts. These objects, thanks to the many natural and economic functions they serve, enable the realization of sustainable development policy. To properly design a greenway network, the natural conditions and degree of environmental degradation in a given area must first be evaluated. Based on these data, it is possible to determine appropriate afforestation needs. To evaluate the ability of a given area to meet the requirements of greenway functions, we propose a new computer modeling system - a tree belt modeling (TBM). TBM defines the availability of tree belt functions in the planned network and is one of preparation stages in the design of an optimal greenway structure. In this work, to analyze the studied area potential, application of a cadastral dataset was proposed. Thanks to this approach, the obtained results may be related to specific plot borders, which is optimal for greenway construction. To automatize the process of analysis, the TBM was implemented into an ArcGIS toolbox. The result of using this toolbox is a tree belt functions geodatabase. This database contains information about the available functions in the analyzed lines that are potential sites for afforestation. This solution, both at the methodological and technological levels, may significantly increase the effectiveness of greenway planning and thus contribute to more effective activities for sustainable development.
人类对环境的压力不断增加，这就要求我们采取有效的保护措施。阻止自然资源退化的方法之一是建立以木本植被为主的网络，这些网络通常呈线性，被称为线性木质特征、绿道或林带。这些对象因其具有许多自然和经济功能而使可持续发展政策得以实现。为了正确设计绿道网络，必须首先评估给定区域的自然条件和环境退化程度。基于这些数据，可以确定适当的造林需求。为了评估给定区域满足绿道功能要求的能力，我们提出了一种新的计算机建模系统——林带建模 (TBM)。TBM 定义了规划网络中林带功能的可用性，是设计最优绿道结构的准备阶段之一。在这项工作中，为了分析研究区域的潜力，我们提出了应用地籍数据集的方法。通过这种方法，获得的结果可以与特定的地块边界相关联，这对于绿道建设是最优的。为了实现分析过程的自动化，我们将 TBM 实现到了一个 ArcGIS 工具箱中。使用该工具箱的结果是一个林带功能地理数据库。该数据库包含有关在分析线路中可用功能的信息，这些线路是造林的潜在地点。该解决方案在方法和技术层面上都可以显著提高绿道规划的效率，从而为可持续发展的更有效活动做出贡献。
