Abstract There are strong links between heritage and the environment yet, is not fully included in existing ecosystem‐based frameworks. Different understandings of values exist, yet related to key value categories environmental research. To address this gap facilitate a common values‐based approach, we develop novel framework that values. First, expand understanding by linking categories. We then use Life Framework Values show how features different ways which people relate world. The...
Land use morphology has profound effects both on city functions and peri-urban areas. They can either lead to conflicts with negative side or generate positive synergies. This study focuses land spatial configurations interprets the interactions among them. In order evaluate planning policies, measurement of urban patterns is considered play an important role in development process deserves further attention. A comparative analysis medium-sized Hellenic cities attempted, there are also used...
Abstract Blue Growth is gaining momentum, opening up new frontiers for economic development, with potentially negative impacts on coastal communities and seascapes. The impact of projects seascapes generally understood through narrow technical or approaches that focus the potential loss views depreciating property values, ignoring complex relationships have These often dislodge non-quantifiable community-seascape from strategies, leading to community frustration contestation. Understanding...
In this study, we propose a cost-effective method for tranquillity mapping using multi-criteria analysis and open geospatial data. We apply in an extended zone around major Greek highway trespassing areas of high natural value. Composite criteria are developed through analytic functions geostatistical methods to reflect either barriers or enablers tranquillity. The results indicate that it is possible identify tranquility zones which spatially plausible. To verify the validity results,...
Governments are increasingly adopting Blue Growth strategies as a means of promoting economic development. Although offers development opportunities, from local perspective it is often concentrated in inaccessible sectors or has negative impacts on coastal communities and landscapes. We argue that to be use communities, tourist experiences landscapes need understood community-led, rather than market-led, perspective. Tourist market segmentation can help reveal such but predominately been...
A method is presented to estimate photopollution (a.k.a night-lights pollution) in a macroscopic manner, i.e. that can be applied globally, using open-domain data. Photopollution has two components, direct illumination and skyglow the diffused scattering of light atmosphere. The proposed currently focusing on only. novelty viewshed analysis deployed, taking into account viewing distance as well amount at each source. Moreover, monthly variation measured based recently available suitable
The EU Atlantic Action Plan (AAP) has recently been updated and revised to support 'blue growth' along Europe's western coastal regions. revisions reflect recent challenges facing the Arc maritime economies including Covid-19 crisis, Brexit new requirements of European Green Deal. This revision, termed AAP 2.0, also addresses some weaknesses highlighted in original particularly regarding identifying indicators that may be used measure progress achievement Plan's objectives. Using a database...
