Abstract Decades of research on multifunctional Green Infrastructure (GI) has yet to translate into holistic implementation in the built environment. This oversight stems from assumptions that many ecosystem services occur passively and thus potential synergies are overlooked during planning design. study offers specific guidance for coordinating GI planning, design, construction by examining current state academic literature these aspects. It identifies 15 elements (e.g., green roofs) objectives biodiversity) collectively consider before implementation. The tends isolate discussions “engineered” with water-related objectives, while more “natural” linked biodiversity human well-being. Coordinating across remains imperative, but evaluating too options risks a paradox choice. recommends short-term adherence principles adaptive design and, long-term, reemphasizes multifunctionality assessments, inter transdisciplinary collaboration, political will.

Abstract This paper builds on the expansion of urban ecology from a biologically based discipline—ecology in city—to an increasingly interdisciplinary field—ecology transdisciplinary, knowledge to action endeavor—an for and with city. We build this “prepositional journey” by proposing transformative shift ecology, we present framework how field may continue shift. conceptualize that is state flux, needed transform into more engaged field, one includes diversity actors willing participate future their cities. In shift, these will engage, collaborate, continuous spiral → back loop, goal co producing sustainable resilient solutions myriad challenges.

Understanding residents' perceptions of ecosystem services (ESs) is important for modern management. However, these are often overlooked in managing nature reserves, leading to decreased participation policy implementation. This study proposes investigate the and ecological concepts contained ESs among residents using a questionnaire survey. The results showed that: (1) Residents prioritize supporting they value "leisure recreation" most, followed by "air purification" "habitat animals plants". (2) Perceptions different have significant spatial differences, distance significantly affects perceptions. (3) Most types correlated with each other, indigenous concept has profound impact on their (4) Education livelihood play positive effect ESs, while nationality, gender, age, distance, relief show negative influence. Improving education levels, establishing community rules regulations, strengthening humans connections, environmental management, integrating into regional development planning some suggested solutions. research provides valuable insights incorporating knowledge management at local levels.

In an increasingly urbanized world, the concepts of ecosystem services and nature-based solutions can help tackle grand challenges. However, ambiguity in their definitions relationship between two complicates comprehensive research efforts as well effective application policy planning urban systems. This paper presents a framework to clarify explicitly relate concepts, enhancing applicability management Within framework, addressing challenges serves starting point for development implementation solutions.

The literature on sustainability transitions departs from the idea that social and environmental problems call for transformative change but employs socio-technical frameworks treat nature as a passive context. In this paper, we argue research should adopt socio-techno-ecological approach accounts better ecological elements. To take steps in direction, review adjacent engages with socio-ecological systems concepts. Based insights literature, discuss emerging topics development of framework. Our contribution paves way further theoretical empirical validation by motivating, contextualizing sketching roadmap towards more comprehensive to research.

Abstract Cities and other human settlements are major contributors to climate change highly vulnerable its impacts. They also uniquely positioned reduce greenhouse gas emissions lead adaptation efforts. These compound challenges opportunities require a comprehensive perspective on the public policy of settlements. Drawing core literature that has driven debate around cities over recent decades, we put forward set boundary objects can be applied connect knowledge epistemic communities support an integrated urbanism. We then use these develop Goals-Intervention-Stakeholder-Enablers (GISE) framework for is both place-specific provides insights tools useful action in worldwide.
