许多城市提倡改造绿色屋顶和绿色墙壁（GRGW），以创造额外的绿色区域，特别是在狭窄的城市地区。然而，在全球范围内，只有少数研究评估了公众对这一创新绿化方案的好处和负面问题以及推广政策的看法。为了解决文献中的这一差距，我们进行了一项调查（N= 500）的居民对GRGW在东京，强制安装GRGW近二十年的城市的意见。大多数受访者同意GRGW对热舒适性，空气质量和城市景观的贡献，但对其他潜在好处的认可度较低。成本高以及蚊子和植物垃圾滋扰是最公认的负面问题。强制安装是最不受欢迎的促销策略。相反，受访者希望在公共建筑上安装并提供安装指导。受访者对GRGW的利弊均持“温和”态度，对GRGW持无所谓的态度。收入水平和住房类型塑造了整体的看法，而年龄，性别和目前的生活环境影响个人方面的看法。我们的研究结果表明，需要一个自下而上的战略，以提高公众对GRGW先进发展的认识，以补充和启动自上而下的强制性安装政策。
Many cities advocate retrofitting green roofs and green walls (GRGW) to create additional green areas, especially in cramped urban areas. Yet, worldwide, only a handful of studies have evaluated the public views towards the benefits and negative issues and promotion policies of this innovative greening option. To address this gap in the literature, we conducted a survey (N= 500) of residents’ opinions towards GRGW in Tokyo, a city with mandatory installation of GRGW for almost two decades. Respondents mostly agreed with the contribution of GRGW to thermal comfort, air quality, and cityscape but weakly endorsed other potential benefits. High costs as well as mosquitoes and plant litter nuisances were the most recognized negative issues. Mandatory installation was the least preferred promotion policy. Instead, respondents expected installation on public buildings and provision of installation guidance. Respondents predominantly held a “moderate” view towards both the benefits and negative issues, showing indifferent attitudes towards GRGW. Income level and housing type shaped the overall perceptions, whereas age, sex, and current living environment influenced perceptions of individual aspects. Our findings signified a need for a bottom-up strategy to heighten public awareness for the advanced development of GRGW to complement and prime the top-down mandatory installation policy.
