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...
Abstract Background Natural flood management (NFM) measures seek to protect, enhance, emulate, or restore the natural function of rivers as part approaches risk (FRM). While there is agreement in both academic and practice/policy literature that NFM, a general sense, should be holistic FRM strategy address current future risk, specifics how consistently implement NFM successfully practice are less well known. This particularly acute for practitioners UK given nature UK’s biophysical...
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...
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...
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) plays a vital role in mitigating climate change risks, including urban development-induced warming. The effective maintenance and monitoring of UGI are essential for detecting early signs water stress preventing potential fire hazards. Recent research shows that plants close their stomata under limited soil moisture availability, leading to an increase leaf temperature. Multi-spectral cameras can detect thermal differentiation during periods well-watered...
