Abstract In this paper we review the emerging lessons from a recent initiative on utilising Public Participatory Geographic Information Systems within Shoreline Management Planning to help unpack theoretical and actual role of approach for developing flood risk management policy options scenarios. We discuss benefits limitations stakeholder engagement in decisions before highlighting some technical aspects such an approach. then examine how access mapping spatial policies offers potential...
Abstract Investigations of tectonic and surface processes have shown a clear relationship between climate‐influenced erosion long‐term exhumation rocks. Numerical models suggest that most orogens are in transient state, but observational evidence spatial shift mountain building due to tectonic‐climate interaction is missing. New thermochronology data synthesized with geophysical process elucidate the evolving interplay tectonics colliding Yakutat microplate North America. Focused deformation...
Introduction Greenspaces facilitate bonds between people and place may hold meaning in improving health wellbeing. Studies indicate that contact with nature can promote health, but the evidence relies on cross-sectional study designs lacks studies incorporating a life-course perspective. Understanding greenspace attachment across lifetime lifelong It remains unclear how why people, independent of their life-stage, develop maintain an to greenspace. Methods This exploratory explores role...
Ageing and urbanisation pose significant challenges for public health urban planning. populations are at particular risk from hazards arising processes, some of which in turn exacerbated by climate change. One approach mitigating the negative effects on ageing is leveraging beneficial green infrastructure as a intervention planning process. We assessed potential available theoretical frameworks to provide context such leverage. This involved active engagement with academics practitioners...
Abstract Background This systematic map principally sought to understand the different forms of effectiveness that existing studies evaluate in relation Natural Flood Management (NFM) UK with a supplementary question whether engaged climate change and future flood risk. NFM measures seek protect, enhance, emulate, or restore natural function rivers as part approaches risk management (FRM). While there is agreement both academic practice/policy literature should be holistic FRM strategy...
Under climate change many species may need to shift polewards track suitable bioclimatic conditions. This movement is likely be impeded by intensively modified landscapes, but little known in practice about how undergo range expansion these Using biological record data, this paper explores the occurrence of five butterfly undertaking UK through an urbanised landscape better understand 'pathways' or features used expand their distributions. The findings demonstrate that two most adaptable...
Urban areas are currently experiencing a number of adverse effects associated with both climate induced change and the nature development processes. This has led to, not only reduction in provision performance environmental attributes but also generated threats to well-being urban inhabitants. In response, concept Nature- based Solutions (NBS) emerged as means reconfiguring spatial interactions maximize adaptation resilience. Despite this however, process transition for NBS frequently...
Domestic gardens are spaces imbued with meaning, expression, and identity. This paper seeks to explore garden identities across their lifespan in the Netherlands by investigating older people's personal histories through thematic analysis. Oral history interviews (n = 20) were conducted 2019 residents living Breda Tilburg, two medium-sized cities south of Netherlands. The findings suggest that change over time likely be developed during childhood. Gardening, trends, socio-economic factors...
Environmental assessment (EA) in the European Union (EU) is undergoing a period of significant transition.

In light this, this paper provides critical examination past, present future role EU.

Central to this article is the suggestion that modern planning and development frameworks in England are currently at a potentially productive, although problematic turning point. Whilst on one hand UK attempting make legislative institutional changes necessary facilitate process of regionalization devolution, it same time facing challenge ensuring levels inter-agency cohesion integration required for delivery meta-objectives heart sustainable development. Of particular concern English...
Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is widely recognised as a key mechanism for asserting sustainable development objectives within areas. However, despite significant developments in ICZM practice and development, number of challenges remain. Particular concerns relate to the existence limited understanding relationship between biophysical socioeconomic processes poor mechanisms institutional coordination. This article explores contribution that strategic environmental assessment...
The impact of flood events in the UK has drawn attention to limitations associated with traditional defence regimes. In recognition this there been a significant level advocacy for systems based approach which assumes greater role spatial planning. This paper considers extent strategic assessment contributes toward consideration flooding within draws on four cases from England and Scotland. Specific is given nature management approaches considered recommendations presented. research...
