Analysis of Green Living Walls: Individual Awareness about its Functional Value and Aesthetical Quality

Abstract

The need to build Green Living Walls (GLWs) has multipurpose functions. It can save space since it is built vertically, can improve air quality due to its vegetation style, reduces temperature into the interior and exterior of the building and also reduces the noise pollution. This research is conducted to document the awareness level of individuals in Pakistan, which will help in making strategies for the future about Green Living Walls. This documentation can also help in comparing the awareness level of individuals regarding the aesthetics and functionality of GLW. A sample of 100 individuals has been selected for the survey. The analysis has been done on Statistical package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, and the results have been analyzed on the basis of percentage, frequencies, and chi-square test to compare the relationship of different statements. Most of the individuals answered that they were familiar with the GLWs and would also like to install GLWs at homes, few individuals rejected the idea of GLWs. Individuals also agreed that GLWs help in reducing the noise level, improving the air quality, enhancing the aesthetical value, shading and increasing the energy level. The results of Chi-Square have also shown that GLWs enhances air quality, boost energy levels, and also helps in reducing noise and temperature. Many individuals preferred GLWs and considered it beneficial for the home environment, even if it has a little harmful effect, because sometimes it also attracted insects and mosquitoes.
