Urban green space is an important element of ecological networks. Conservation policies urge the protection of urban green space in cities possessed by dense buildings and focus on the improvement of intercommunity relationships among the green space plots within different areas. Urban green space forms an indispensable part of urban ecosystems. Quantifying the urban green space is of substantial importance for urban planning and development. In order to solve the problem of measuring the proximity of residents to green space (PRG), this paper proposed a method of urban green index (UGI) based on multi-spectral remote sensing data and Lidar data (LiDAR), which provide the accurate information of urban buildings and green spaces. In this study, the urban green index of the central pixel is developed based on calculating the area of urban green space and a fixed window area. The results show that the urban green index can be an effective method to measure the proximity of residents to green space and its spatial distribution characteristics. It avoids the edge effects generated by grid method, overcomes the discontinuity problem occurred in the buffer space, and could obtain the urban green index of any point in the region. At the same time, the newly constructed model can be used to identify the key protection regions that will have typical demonstration effects. The input parameters of the model can be obtained from the remote sensing images, which are easier to obtain than from the field measurements. Therefore, it could be considered to be a new method for studying the urban green space and could offer effective technical assistances to urban planning and management. The quantitative evaluation of the urban green space will provide the scientific support to urban greening and urban environmental protection. This study exploits the advantages of multi-source remote sensing data with high ground resolution in extracting building and vegetation information.
