	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Georgia Community Greenspace Program
		The greenspace concept is essentially an urban one, distinguishing land that is built-over from land supporting plants or water.
		The Georgia Community Greenspace program is revolutionary because it codifies the concept of greenspace, acknowledges the detrimental aspects of urbanization, and emphasizes the responsibilities of local governments to preserve land as a means of maintaining quality of life while the human population increases.
		Also, the Community Greenspace Program would be open to all local governments rather than just rapidly developing ones, with competition among local entities for funding based on the demonstrated ability to purchase and protect greenspace.

	www.wakefield.gov.uk: Greenspace
		Greenspaces are a valuable asset to the Wakefield community and, as part of its commitment to enhance the social, economic and environmental well-being of local citizens, we have produced a Greenspace Strategy.
		The Greenspace Strategy was developed by the Wakefield Greenspace Partnership comprising officers and representatives of WMDC, BTCV Wakefield and Dewsbury, Groundwork Wakefield and Wakefield West Primary Care Trust.
		We recognise that our parks, greenspaces and woodlands are a precious asset and these strategies are our commitment to improve provision, for the benefit of current and future generations.

	1-Combating Urban Sprawl in Georgia
		Greenspace can preserve animal habitat and valuable forest resources; accommodate hiking, biking, and other forms of recreation; and improve water quality by serving as a stream buffer.
		While these greenspace programs have provided Georgia's local governments with incentives to permanently protect greenspace, the task of identifying, prioritizing, and acquiring lands to protect as greenspace can be a daunting task for government agencies that are either understaffed or under budget constraints or both.
		The Greenspace Acquisition Support System identifies and prioritizes parcels larger than five acres that are important for water quality, urban forest preservation, and the formation of contiguous greenspace systems.

	Greenspace for Communities Initiative Plan Introduction
		Greenspace Scotland would support the development of existing greenspace partnerships, and act as a catalyst for the establishment of greenspace partnerships in new areas.
		Greenspace Scotland and the local greenspace partnerships will build on the experience of the CAT projects, extending greenspace action throughout the urban area, targeting those communities with least access to quality greenspace and placing community involvement at its core.
		Greenspace and physical improvements: Enhance the quality of disadvantaged communities through the improvement of their local green spaces and by increasing accessibility, biodiversity, landscape quality and amenity.

	Georgia Green Space Program: Program Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The statute defines "greenspace" as permanently protected land and water, including agricultural and forestry land, that is in its undeveloped, natural state or that has been developed only to the extent consistent with, or is restored to be consistent with, one or more listed goals for natural resource protection or informal recreation.
		Greenspace grant funds are provided to assist local governments in carrying out their strategies for acquiring and permanently protecting land.
		For a county to be eligible to qualify for a greenspace grant it must have a population of at least 60,000 or an average annual growth rate of 800 people.

	2-Combating Urban Sprawl in Georgia
		The classified images were mosaicked and overlaid with the potential greenspace layer, and a summary function was performed that broke down image classes by their associated polygons in the greenspace layer.
		The potential greenspace parcels and their associated tax and ownership information generated by Phase I and Phase II were ranked and prioritized by impact on water quality, forestry resources, and greenspace system connectivity and stored in a Microsoft Access database.
		This database has unique identifiers for parcels and potential greenspace polygons that allow tables to be joined to either GIS dataset to view the results spatially and create thematic maps for displaying information such as the number of parcels per potential greenspace polygon or the appraised value of potential greenspace.

	River Basin Center: Jackson County Greenspace Plan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A desire to develop incentives for landowners to permanently protect greenspace along streams in order to filter out upland contaminants and to provide habitat for wildlife was frequently expressed, for example, as was the desire to provide tax relief to allow landowners to continue farming rather than develop their property as land prices escalate.
		The Community Greenspace Map and Plan will be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan when it is updated in the year 2002 as will an analysis of the tools that are being used and will be used to achieve the permanent protection of greenspace.
		The cost of greenspace protection is therefore borne by new development rather than by the local government or the sending landowner.

	Greenspace- Innovative Approaches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		These countries were chosen because of the relatively high standard of greenspaces to be found within their cities.
		In considering innovative solutions to greenspace management in urban areas, it needs to be recognised that what is seen as innovative by visitors from one country is often not seen as such in another country.
		This report is in two parts: the national level greenspace management issues, and the case studies of regeneration and new build in high and low density housing, and the regeneration of local parks.

	Ottawa Forests and Greenspace
		Greenspace is protected land and water that is in its natural, undeveloped state as well as a supporting network of land in private and public ownership that has been developed only to the extent consistent with natural systems protection, recreational uses, or agricultural and forest production.

	Greenspace Supporters Create Coalition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The National Capital Greenspace Coalition was formed last month to present a united front against those who want to develop greenspace in the area.
		Brian Hawley, a member of the National Capital Greenspace Coalition and Chair of the Heron/Walkley Greenspace Coalition, believes "if one community loses we all lose." The purpose of banding the groups together is to protect all the greenspace in the National Capital area.
		Greenspace outside of Ottawa, even as close as Gatineau Park, isn't necessarily close enough for the poor in Ottawa—those who need it the most because they don't have cottages to get away to or a car to get out of the city.

	DeKalb County, Georgia, USA (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		We are fortunate that the State of Georgia and many private foundations have also recognized the importance of greenspace protection and are dedicating financial resources to further stimulate this effort to enable us to make great progress in our greenspace campaign and to create a lasting legacy for generations to come.
		The new acquisitions, whether used as active parkland or passive greenspace, will be a tremendous resource for DeKalb citizens from both a recreational and environmental standpoint, and will foster a quality of life that helps to stimulate quality economic development.
		The Parks Bond and Greenspace Office acquisition plan focuses on adding acreage to certain existing parks to improve park visibility and usability, creating new parks in the park-deficient portions of the county, preserving natural resources that will improve air and water quality, and creating greenway corridors that connect our parks and greenspace areas.

		This Greenspace Bird Survey attempts to document how birds use urban greenspaces throughout the year and what components of urban greenspaces are most important for these birds.
		For the purposes of this study, greenspaces are discrete natural areas, generally set aside as parks, riverside greenways, or forests that are surrounded by developed land.
