Based on investigating the present greening situation of 18 overpasses in the urban area of Kunming City,4 typical plant furnishing modes for overpass were concluded,that is,Type Ⅰ,which was the multi-layered plant disposition pattern composed of all arbor,shrub and herbaceous plant species;TypeⅡ,which was mainly composed of shrub and herbaceous species with a 2-layered structure;Type Ⅲ was the turf grass pattern with sparsely disposed trees;Type Ⅳ,which was the simple groundcover greening pattern.1 or 2 typical overpasses from each type were sampled separately for evaluating the landscape effects of the typical green space around each type of overpass by adopting AHP model,and the results showed that the evaluated landscape effect of Type Ⅰ was 'good',that of Type Ⅱ was 'moderate',that of Type Ⅲ was 'moderate to good',and that of Type Ⅳ was 'poor'.
