As urbanization increases it is critical to find the balance between human development requirements and environmental concerns. The conventional usability of the green roof has evolved and acquired a more responsible profile in the environment. A green roof or vegetated roof is a structural design approach that brings nature and engineering together to provide a sustainable alternative to conventional roofing. The green roof is built with the goal of turning dead space of roofs into dynamic space with its living ecosystems providing good environment capability for the urban environment. Therefore, this study aims to find out the role of the green roof in achieving environmental dimensions of sustainable development. This research accomplishes the goal of this paper by providing an example of green roof that can provide environmental benefits while connecting human with nature. Also this thesis focuses on a brief overview of the application of green roofs in cold climate countries and how green roofs help to improve quality of people‘s lives. In order to accomplish this objective, various case studies were conducted including one existing green roof from Estonian University of Life Sciences. At first, we explained different types of green roofs and their benefits to the public and private sectors and application of green roofs in Northern Europe. In the second part, we look at some case studies of how green roofs help to connect human and nature together in the growing urban areas. This research is theoretical framework and aims to show the importance of green roofs in improving people‘s quality of life. Different interviews with experts and a certain group including an online survey were carried out to collect primary and secondary data to find out people‘s perception on importance of green roof design.
Linnastumise tagajärjel muutub kriitiliseks tasakaalu leidmine inimeste jaoks oluliste nõudmiste ja keskkonna vajaduste vahel. Rohekatuse tavapärane kasutatavus on arenenud ja omandanud keskkonnas vastutustundlikuma profiili. Rohekatus või taimestatud katus on struktuurne disainlahendus mis põimib omavahel looduse ja inseneeria, et pakkuda tavapärasele katuse lahendusele jätkusuutlikumat alternatiivi. Rohekatuste eesmärgiks on muuta ‗surnud‘ kasutuseta katuseruum dünaamiliseks elavaks ruumiks. Lisaks selle pakub sealne ökosüsteem elukeskkonda teistele organismidele, muutes linnaruumi mitmekesisemaks. Selle töö eesmärgiks on välja selgitada rohekatuste roll jätkusuutliku keskkonna loomisel. Töö tulemuseni jõudmiseks uuritakse erinevaid näited rohekatustest, mis suudavad pakkuda keskkonnaalast kasu samalajal ühendades inimesi ja loodust. Samuti uurib käesolev töö rohekatuste kasutamise praktikat külmemas kliimas ning seda kuidas suudab rohekatus parandada inimeste elukvaliteeti. Eesmärgi saavutamiseks uuritakse erinevaid üle Euroopalisi juhtumiuuringuid, mille hulgas on ka Eesti Maaülikooli linnakus asuv rohekatus. Esmalt, kirjeldatakse rohekatuste erinevaid tüüpe ja nende pakutavaid hüvesid nii avalikule kui erasektorile ning rohekatuste kasutamise praktikat Põhja-Euroopas. Seejärel vaadatakse juhtumiuuringute põhjal kuidas rohekatused aitavad kaasa inimeste ja looduse ühendamisele kasvavas linnakeskkonnas. Käesolev uurimus on teoreetiline ja keskendub rohekatuste potentsiaalile inimeste elukvaliteedi parandamisel. Andmete kogumiseks viidi läbi intervjuud ekspertidega ja online-intervjuu fookusgrupis, et välja selgitada inimeste arusaam rohekatuste tähtsusest.
