Abstract
Urban green space still is one critical role for developing sustainability of cities that well-planed and well-designed green networks can create attractive settings for daily life, distinctive local identities for places and can help guide future settlement growth. Therefore, this study aims to plan green space network (GSN) or urban greenways’ network in Nakhonratchasima City Municipality (NCM), Thailand. This GSN in NCM used GIS techniques such as the least-cost path analysis in ArcGIS, it was analyzed by the selected output of road nodes' and green space nodes' location. As results, the obtained GSN in NCM was found that Mittraphap Road (Highway no.2), cuts through the middle of NCM area as main potential green space location to connect other minor potential green space locations. Consequently, this obtained GSN can help not only in local decision-making for planning and designing green city of NCM, but also in Thai city municipal areas to use its future approach or case study for their green areas.
