為求環境保護與永續發展，都市計劃可從都市的發展目標與極限、土地使用適宜性到都市綠帶保存及劃設為其手段。都市公園綠地可提供動植物之生存空間，維持都市生態系統平衡，同時也提供社會服務與環境效益。都市公園綠地有著減少二氧化碳、削減暴雨逕流量、降低空氣污染等環境效益，公園綠地的環境保護功能若能與相關政策、周邊建成環境配合，對於改善都市環境、防災，都有重大幫助。
在台灣公園綠地規劃主要以人口數與使用類型作為劃設依據，忽略了環境效益面向的考量，如何量化都市公園綠地的環境效益，就環境效益面探討公園綠地規劃，並使都市內的公園綠地發揮最大效用是我們亟需解決課題之一。
因此，研究重點分為三個部分，第一個部分為探討公園綠地有那些環境效益以及選擇量測環境效益值之工具；第二部分為探討不同公園綠地環境效益值之差異；第三部分為公園綠地環境效益的空間特性與區位配置合宜性探討，本研究選取嘉義市作為實證案例。
實證結果利用選取之環境效益估算模型計算出嘉義市各公園綠地環境效益，推估嘉義市公園綠地環境效益每年可節省經費支出約5.9億元；並利用個別環境效益值進行群落分析，環境效益較佳的公園綠地群落，綠覆率約占總面積的40%；並探討嘉義市公園綠地環境效益各群集空間分佈特性與周邊土地使用相互關係，重新檢視公園綠地在規劃時配置是否合宜。實證結果顯示環境效益較佳的公園綠地大多分布於嘉義市東南方與市中心外圍，市中心的公園綠地環境效益相對較低，以及削減暴雨逕流量較佳的公園綠地並未劃設於淹水潛勢地區等現象，說明嘉義市公園綠地環境效益目前並未發揮最大效用。

For saking the environmental protection and sustainable development, through urban development object, limit of growth, land use suitability and urban green space preservation. Urban parks and green space provided the animals and plants living space, and maintained a balance of urban ecological systems, but also the provision of social services and environmental benefits. Urban parks and green space reduced carbon dioxide, storm runoff and air pollution or other environmental benefits, if environmental protection functions with the policy and the surrounding built environment, there is a significant help to improve the urban environment, disaster prevention.
In Taiwan, the parks and green space planning used population or using type as the basis, but ignored for the consideration of environmental benefits. How to quantify the environmental benefits and discuss the past parks and green space planning from the environmental benefits, and to maximize the effectiveness is an urgent need to resolve important issues.
Therefore, the research focus is divided into three parts, the first part we discussed the type of environmental benefits and choosed tools to estimate the value of environmental benefits; the second part is the different value of environmental benefits; third part is the spatial characteristics of environmental benefits and locations appropriate and we selected the empirical region of Chiayi City.
The results show the environmental benefits of Chiayi City parks and green space annual savings about 590 million of government expenditures; cluster analysis result showed that better environmental benefits of community green space and park, green coverage rate oabout 40% of the total areas; and we discussed the interrelation of Chiayi City parks and green space environmental benefits spatial distribution and the surrounding land use, review the location suitability of park and green space planning. The results show better environmental benefits of green space and parks are mostly located in south-east of Chiayi City and outside the city center, and better to reduce stormwater runoff of parks and green space not located in potential inundation areas. It shows environmental benefits of Chiayi City parks and green space did not reach maximum effectiveness of the current.
