Abstract

During the past decades, environmental and economic issues have witnessed great interest, as a result of the changes that occurred in the city shape in terms of increased building density and the negative effects of urbanization on the environment. Some countries have begun to develop systems for assessing sustainability in buildings. It has become necessary to pay attention to apply the principles of sustainability in landscape for the external spaces to integrate with the sustainable building system, due to the importance of these spaces in creating an urban environment that meets the social, psychological and environmental needs, and also contributes to shaping the visual image of the city in addition to its functional, urban and social importance, as it includes huge amount of activities. Therefore, the research deals with a study of the principles of sustainable landscape in new urban communities, as they (urban communities) are considered the most sectors consuming energy, water and natural resources [1], by studying sustainability standards in landscape through the first approved system in the United States of America to evaluate the design and construction of sustainable sites (SITES V2), then analyzing this system for evaluation and knowing its objectives and areas. Finally, an evaluation was made for one of the models of open spaces in new communities in Egypt with this system, which is: Dar Misr project in New Damietta. As a result of this evaluation, proposals are made to improve the environmental performance of the project to obtain sustainable landscape with open spaces in residential communities.
