Improved understanding of human-nature interactions is crucial to conservation science and practice, but collecting relevant data remains challenging. Recently, social media have become an increasingly important source information on interactions. However, the use advanced methods for analysing still limited, are not used their full potential. In this article, we present available sources approaches mining these science. Specifically, (i) describe what kind can be retrieved from platforms,...

Abstract Social media data are being increasingly used in conservation science to study human–nature interactions. User‐generated content, such as images, video, text, and audio, the associated metadata can be assess A number of social platforms provide free access user‐generated content. However, similar any research involving people, scientific investigations based on require compliance with highest standards privacy protection, even when publicly available. Should misused, risks...

Abstract Ongoing loss of biological diversity is primarily the result unsustainable human behavior. Thus, long‐term success biodiversity conservation depends on a thorough understanding human–nature interactions. Such interactions are ubiquitous but vary greatly in time and space difficult to monitor efficiently at large spatial scales. However, Information Age also provides new opportunities better understand because many aspects daily life recorded variety digital formats. The emerging...

Popular concepts in urban planning, like the 15-minute city, suggest that everyday services should be accessible to everyone within "walking distance". However, walking distance is usually considered from perspective of average person, and little effort made understand temporal (daily seasonal) variation accessibility. If our aim create inclusive cities, we also need address realities vulnerable population groups. In this study, analysed how accessibility landscapes vary temporally between...

Abstract National parks are key for conserving biodiversity and supporting people's well‐being. However, anthropogenic pressures challenge the existence of national their conservation effectiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to assess how people perceive in order enhance socio‐political support conservation. User‐generated data shared by visitors on social media provide opportunities understand (e.g. preferences, feelings, opinions) during nature‐based recreational experiences. In this study,...

Abstract Purpose Psychosocial distress is common among cancer patients in general, but those undergoing radiotherapy may face specific challenges. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence and risk factors for a large national cohort. Methods We performed secondary analysis of multicenter prospective cross-sectional study which surveyed at end course using patient-reported questionnaire. Distress was measured with thermometer (DT), cut-off ≥ 5 points clinically significant distress....
