Green MKP (Indicator)
The green MKP Indicator grades area types based on their greenery and specific allocation parameters. Each type of area has different parameters for the amount and value of green. For example, an area with mostly industrial buildings is allowed to have less green than a residential area.
This indicator is for example useful for projects where:
- (one of the) goals is to work on reaching a certain green target
- different spatial plans are compared using the 3D Visualization
- the project area should become climate adaptive
The green MKP Indicator is part of the Environmental Quality Models (MKP; MileuKwaliteitsProfielen), a set of up to 20 indicators created by the Province of Utrecht to assess the built environment. Read more about the MKP indicators and the theory behind it on this page.
This Excel indicator can be downloaded from the Public GeoShare. Read on to find out more about the indicator's calculation method and how to set it up in your project.
Indicator panel
The indicator panel shows the following information:
- The area name
- The score per area
Calculation
The indicator calculates the amount of m2 green per area. This is backchecked against the allocation plan per area to calculate the score per area. The following formula is used:
Score
The score is represented in a progress bar, with a scale from 0 to 100%. Determine if you want to calculate the absolute or relative score. In general, the more green is present in an area, the higher the score is.
Additional configurations
Project area types must be imported or created for this indicator. For the steps and how to, read the information on the general MKP page.
