Table 1. Space types and weights of biotope area ratio

Space type Weight Description
Natural ground green area 1.0 Green area on undamaged natural ground
Water space Water permeable 1.0 Water space with continuity to natural ground and groundwater recharge function
Water impermeable 0.7 Water space without groundwater recharge function

40cm≦soil depth<90cm 0.6 Green area on artificial ground with more than 40cm and less than 90cm of soil depth
10cm≦soil depth<40cm 0.5 Green area on artificial ground with more than 10cm and less than 40cm of soil depth
Rooftop greening 30cm≦soil depth 0.7 Rooftop greening with more than 30cm of soil depth
20cm≦soil depth <30cm 0.6 Rooftop greening with more than 20cm and less than 30cm of soil depth
10cm≦soil depth>cm 0.5 Rooftop greening with more than 10cm and less than 20cm of soil depth
Wall greening 0.4 Greenery on walls or retaining walla Up to 10m of height for climbing type
Partial pavement 0.5 Paving area through which air and water are permeated Continuity to natural ground with more than 50% of planting area
Permeable pavement on entire surface Permeability Class I 0.4 Paving area with more than 1mm/sec of permeability coefficient
Permeability Grade II 0.3 Paving area with more than 0.5mm/sec of permeability coefficient
Pavement with cracked surface 0.2 Paving area where air and water are permeated through cracked surface Filling with more than 10mm of fine aggregate
Linked area to rainwater storage & infiltration facilities 0.2 Paving area linked to rainwater infiltration or storage facilities for groundwater recharge
Pavement area 0.0 Paving area without permeability. No plants
Biotope area ratio = Natural circulation function area Total area = ( Area by space type  × Weight ) Total area ×100%
