Cities have different benefits and risks, but are often stressful environments to live in.Everyday contact with nearby nature can be a crucial way alleviate stress increase the well-being of citizens. However, there is still limited evidence on how nature-health vary according type quality natural environments. This study integrated multiple landscape soundscape objective perceived assessments examine recovery in types neighbourhood nature. We used field randomised experiment (n=45) analyse...
Urban adaptation to climate change in Europe : Challenges and opportuinities for cities together with supportive national European policies.
The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on services actually used inform land and water management in 22 case studies covering different social-ecological systems European Latin American countries. None of the reported instrumental use a sense would have served as an impartial arbiter between policy options. Yet, most cases, there was some evidence conceptual learning result close interaction...
Ecosystem service (ES) spatial modelling is a key component of the integrated assessments designed to support policies and management practices aiming at environmental sustainability. ESTIMAP ("Ecosystem Service Mapping Tool") collection spatially explicit models, originally developed European scale. We based our analysis on 10 case studies, 3 ES models. Each study applied least one model local analyzed applications with respect to: adaptation process; "precision differential" which we...
Following the inclusion of ecosystem services in new global and national post 2010 biodiversity policies, this report addresses need to upgrade knowledge basis their social economic values order inform ongoing policy design decision making processes. In particular, study addressed present research capacity map, assess as well implications for different community regional policies.
The current political agenda aims to promote active environments and physical activity while commuting work, but research on it has provided mixed results. This study examines whether the proximity of green space people's residence in different travel-related urban zones contributes activity. Population-based cross-sectional health examination survey, Health 2011 study, geographical information system (GIS) data were utilized. GIS linked individuals based their home geocoordinates. Commuting...
This paper analyses and compares a set of case studies on ecosystem services (ES) mapping assessment with the purpose formulating lessons learned recommendations. Fourteen were selected during EU Horizon 2020 “Coordination Support Action” ESMERALDA to represent different policy- decision-making processes throughout European Union, across wide range themes, biomes scales. The analysis is based framework that addresses key steps an ES process, namely policy questions, stakeholder...
The European Union (EU) Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action ESMERALDA aimed at developing guidance a flexible methodology for Mapping Assessment of Ecosystems their Services (MAES) to support the EU member states in implementation Biodiversity Strategy’s Target 2 5. ESMERALDA’s key tasks included network creation, stakeholder engagement, enhancing ecosystem services mapping assessment methods across various spatial scales value domains, work case studies MAES implementation. Thus...

Interactions between people and ecological systems, through leisure or tourism activities, form a complex socio-ecological spatial network. The analysis of the benefits derive from their interactions with nature—also referred to as cultural ecosystem services (CES)—enables better understanding these systems. In age information, increasing availability large social media databases enables at an unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution. Within this context, we model analyze based on...
Abstract Context Maintaining functional green infrastructures (GIs) require evidence-based knowledge about historic and current states trends of representative land cover types. Objectives We address: (1) the long-term loss transformation potential natural forest vegetation; (2) effects site productivity on permanent emergence traditional cultural landscapes; (3) management intensity; (4) social-ecological contexts conducive to GI maintenance . Methods selected 16 case study regions, each...
