Popis:	Kyoto Protocol has stated that each Party, in achieving its quantified limitation and reduction commitments, shall implement and / or further elaborate policies and measures, such as reduction of greenhouse gases. Parks and green spaces contribute to it, through CO2 absorption. Under the above Protocol, and using Showa Kinen Park as our case study, we have developed a method of measuring the height and total number of trees within that park, using airborne laser scanner and near infrared ortho-photo methods. At the same time we calculated tree heights from DSM (Digital Surface Model) data and from DEM (Digital Elevation Model). The results showed that the absorbed amount of carbon existing in this same park was 1,659.867t-C and the amount in one year (2003) was 168.167t-C, indicating the efficacy of this method.
