This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) process to know the present status of research on urban Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) in lower-middle-income countries South Asian region, specifically India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan, which produced 77 relevant publications after detailed scanning published between 2013 2022. It was aimed analyze variations BGI's mentions different regions, identify BGI components found literature their promote sustainability, initiatives, priorities, knowledge gaps for future research. The review reveals significant differences distribution among countries, with majority articles focusing green spaces compared bluescapes concentrating topics like local inhabitant's perception spaces, advantages implementing nature-based solutions, role infrastructures minimizing heat island effect, air pollution, etc. Articles highlighted lack governance challenges designing network. However, discussing holistic methodology implement promoting sustainability were limited. Gaps still exist determining appropriate strategy scope identification, creation, management, integrating it existing grey infrastructure.

Where concepts meet the real world: A systematic review of ecosystem service indicators and their classification using CICES

Ecosystem Services, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 29, С. 145 - 157

We present a 'concept matching' systematic review linking the classes of Common International Classification for Ecosystem Services (CICES, v4.3) to ways scientists define and apply ES indicators in published studies. With dual aim creating an overview how different services are measured studies, determining if CICES provides appropriate structure accommodate assessed practical literature, we reviewed 85 scientific papers from which 440 were identified. Almost all represented, with cultural some regulating (e.g. global climate regulation, pollination) being most frequently considered. The four studied (or class clusters) aesthetic beauty, recreation, bio-remediation. Regulating more often than provisioning services. Normalisation unit area time was common several ES. Scores used (except recreation) flood protection). Altogether 20% quantified as economic value, monetisation is done Few services, on other hand, monetised (including ones, like techniques relatively easily available). work enabled library be compiled made available. findings can help improve so that it provide robust comprehensive framework ecosystem assessments.
