Green and blue urban infrastructure (GBI) has many positive functions often not recognised by residents (e.g., microclimate regulation, water retention, etc.). The question for planners who are aware of these when planning new GBI elements or revitalising existing is how much they need to account the preference heterogeneity locals, typically consider only aesthetic recreational value. This study uses data from a discrete choice experiment among medium-sized Czech city Liberec reveal which...
The quality of life in our cities critically depends on the intelligent planning and shaping urban living space, particular nature. By providing a wide range ecosystem services (ES), nature essentially contributes to well-being city dwellers plays major role avoiding common diseases through its positive impact physical mental health. Health is one most important factors underlying human welfare is, thus, vital sustainable development. ES green space provide other social-cultural functions...
Green and blue infrastructure is implemented increasingly often in cities. The objective of this paper to investigate specific elements green types facilities that are the most preferred among city residents. This shows results a questionnaire survey discrete choice experiment from Prague. Among 14 examined, public parks were element followed by urban forests, rivers/streams lakes/lagoons. also show Prague residents prefer presence benches, bins toilets areas. Small-scale mental mapping was...
Abstract Flooding poses a significant and recurring threat in numerous regions. The adverse impacts of flooding can be mitigated through risk sharing, such as insurance or reduction. However, might not accessible underdeveloped markets instances where floods are too frequent. Similarly, the necessary funding land for structural measures available. Alternatively, could implemented on private land, either individual initiatives part coordinated effort. This approach was explored flood‐prone...
The EU Water Framework Directive requires all water bodies within the member states to achieve a “good status”. Many economic assessments assume status” is achieved using selected measures and evaluate only associated costs benefits. In this paper, Bayesian networks are used test assumption by evaluating whether can be with abatement measures. Unlike in deterministic analysis, allow effectiveness of same type vary, which adds credibility analysis increasing its robustness. approach was...

Large river floods threaten intensively used urban areas across the world. Projections of IPCC expect such risks to increase in future. To deal with flood risk along rivers water can be retained upstream at places where less damage is caused and more vulnerable land (downstream) adapted (resilient cities). This catchment-oriented approach management implies that downstream parties need agree on store adapt floods. However, this many diverse stakeholders (such as mayors, spatial planners,...
Climate change has a strong influence on agriculture and will continue to do so in the years come. As result, significant social costs are generated. These effects may be eliminated by implementing various types of adaptation measures. However, measures also associated with it is necessary evaluate whether generated benefits prevented climate outweigh them. This contribution studies economic impacts South Moravian region period 2017–2040. Four scenarios analysed based combinations following...
