Urban forestry & urban greening, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 93, С. 128230 - 128230

In recent decades, there has been a rise in mental illnesses. Community infrastructures are increasingly acknowledged as important for sustaining good health. Moreover, green spaces anticipated to offer advantages both health and social cohesion. However, the mediating pathway between space, cohesion especially proximity characteristics of that trigger these potential effects remain interest. We gathered data from 1365 individuals on self-reported across four satellite districts European cities: Nantes (France), Porto (Portugal), Sofia (Bulgaria), Høje-Taastrup (Denmark). Green space OpenStreetMap was manually adjusted using PRIGSHARE guidelines. used AID-PRIGSHARE tool generate 7 indicators about measured distances 100-1,500 m, every 100 m. This resulted 105 different variables we tested single mediation model with structural equation modelling. Accessible greenness (900-1,400 m), accessible (900-1,500 corridors (300-800 total (300-800), mix uses (700-1,100 m) were significantly associated indirectly also showed negative indirect direct associations larger distances. Surrounding quantity not nor observed no positive any variable distance Our results suggest accessibility, connectivity, use key drive relationship spaces, gives further guidance urban planners decision-makers how design foster improve

A scoping review of human health co-benefits of forest-based climate change mitigation in Europe

Environment International, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 186, С. 108593 - 108593

Climate change is a pressing global challenge with profound implications for human health. Forest-based climate mitigation strategies, such as afforestation, reforestation, and sustainable forest management, offer promising solutions to mitigate simultaneously yield substantial co-benefits The objective of this scoping review was examine research trends related the interdisciplinary nexus between forests carbon sinks health co-benefits. We developed conceptual framework model, supporting inclusion exposure pathways, recreational opportunities or aesthetic experiences, in co-benefit context. used methodology identify proportion European on forest-based strategies that acknowledge interconnection impacts. also aimed assess whether synergies trade-offs sink capacity has been analysed quantified. From initial 4,062 records retrieved, 349 reports management principles factors capacity. Of those, 97 studies acknowledged 13 quantified impacts pathways were included full review. Our analysis demonstrates there potential optimising together co-benefits, but currently lack holistic approaches assessing these interrelationships. suggest enhanced efforts, using example multideterminant modelling approaches, advance evidence understanding context mitigation.

Renaturing for Urban Wellbeing: A Socioecological Perspective on Green Space Quality, Accessibility, and Inclusivity

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(13), С. 5751 - 5751

Опубликована: Июль 5, 2024

This perspective examines renaturing cities, the strategic reintroduction of nature, as a potential solution to negative health impacts rapid urbanisation. By utilising nature-based solutions maximise ecosystem services and reintegrate human natural systems, offers access high-quality, accessible green spaces. Studies suggest such is associated with reduced depression, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease risk. Renaturing also presents opportunities for physical activity daily exposure which can further enhance well-being happiness. However, challenges include ensuring equitable these spaces avoiding gentrification. To achieve this distribution ensure project truly benefits community, bottom-up approach involving residents in planning process crucial. Longitudinal studies evidence from design projects are necessary understand types most effectively improve wellbeing happiness disadvantaged groups. Further research needed better refine concept, it sometimes used interchangeably other similar but distinct approaches.

Exploring the Possibilities of Implementing the ALS-Based 3-30-300 Concept for Urban Green Space Management in Small Municipalities

This study examines the applicability of 3-30-300 rule in five medium-sized Polish municipalities. The states that residents should be able to see at least three trees from their homes, neighborhoods have 30% tree canopy coverage, and public green spaces within 300 m. method proposed this shows visibility component concept is most fluctuating index, it strongly depends on settings algorithm parameter, as well placement artificially generated observers. demonstrates complexity issue need further specify nuances rule. work all variables can calculated based publicly available data, such point clouds, which are increasingly being made for free research implementation purposes. concludes solution effective assessing availability emphasizes qualitative improvements management urban spaces. While serve foundation future planning, complementary strategies needed ensure long-term sustainability better access

Longitudinal study of changes in greenness exposure, physical activity and sedentary behavior in the ORISCAV-LUX cohort study

International Journal of Health Geographics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 23(1)

Опубликована: Май 21, 2024

Abstract Background Greenness exposure has been associated with many health benefits, for example through the pathway of providing opportunities physical activity (PA). Beside limited body longitudinal research, most studies overlook to what extent different types greenness exposures may be varying levels PA and sedentary behavior (SB). In this study, we investigated associations characterized by density, diversity vegetation type self-reported SB over a 9-year period, using data from ORISCAV-LUX study (2007–2017, n = 628). Methods The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form was used collect outcomes. expressed as MET-minutes/week log-transformed, sitting time in minutes/day. Geographic Information Systems (ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap) were following variables: Tree Cover Density (TCD), Soil-adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Green Land Use Mix (GLUM). variables derived publicly available sources remote sensing cartographic resources. calculated within 1000m street network buffers around participants’ exact residential address. Results Using Random Effects Within-Between (REWB) models, found evidence negative within-individual TCD (β − 2.60, 95% CI 4.75; 0.44), between-individual GLUM 2.02, 3.73; 0.32). There no significant between SB. Significant interaction effects sex present both Neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) did not modify effect on 1000 m buffer.

Опубликована: Янв. 23, 2025

Urban green spaces serve as critical infrastructure for sustainable cities, yet their strategic implementation remains challenging, particularly in developing regions. This study develops a spatial decision support framework optimal space allocation Mzuzu City, Malawi, employing an integrated approach of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Multi-Criteria Analysis, and Analytical Hierarchy Process. Eight environmental socio-spatial parameters were analysed: population density, road network proximity, topographic gradient, elevation, vegetation indices, land use patterns, hydrological features, nitrogen dioxide concentrations. The results indicate that the area's 6.97% (1,099.65 ha) demonstrates high suitability interventions, while 26.48% (4,178.68 is deemed unsuitable. Population density emerged primary determinant, with weight coefficient 0.379. Spatial analysis revealed concentrated zones Mchengautuwa West, central-western Nkholongo/Lupaso, Masasa East, eastern Kaning'ina, contrasting limited opportunities Zolozolo East Msongwe. research provides replicable methodology evidence-based urban greening initiatives sub-Saharan African contributing to equitable planning development.
