Green infrastructure (GI) comprises widely distributed objects in human residential communities. However, because of the variety of certain objects, it is sometimes difficult to improve public awareness and enhance social implementation of GI. To expand the idea of GI and apply it widely in our society, we should understand clearly what exactly GI is and where and how it can be applied. In this article, we classify the types of GI and present a basic approach to evaluate their implementation potential as the first step for expanding the application of GI in human society. First, based on the definition of GI, we classified it as the infrastructure involving the natural ecosystem, seminatural ecosystem, and artificial ecosystem in each. The essential differences among these types arise from their installability depending on human activities. Then, we considered the principle of evaluation of the implementation potential of GI for the three types GI based on three dimensions, natural condition, top-down regulation, and bottom-up regulation, in human society. Additionally, appropriate ideas for the evaluation of each dimension were considered. Relative importance of the natural condition, top-down regulation, and bottom-up regulation differs among the types of GI. We believe that the findings of this work will be useful for decision makers dealing with the application of GI in their administrative areas.
