Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted urban resilience and challenged the use of green space (UGS). Previous studies lack consensus on whether UGS increased or decreased during after lockdowns how this related to policy, economic conditions types. In a systematic review, we screened >3,000 articles in 5 languages, identifying 177 changes 60 countries. cities studied show diverging use. Generally, decreases occurred where policies were stricter gross domestic product per capita was lower, including most few areas Global South. All private gardens 60% forests other natural showed increases, while 77% conducted public parks indicated global disparity exacerbated pandemic, demonstrating need enhance infrastructure for healthy extend it beyond parks.

Online Grocery Shopping: Exploring the Influence of Income, Internet Access, and Food Prices

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(4), С. 1545 - 1545

Опубликована: Фев. 12, 2024

Online grocery shopping has grown rapidly in recent years. It been promoted as a way to overcome the systemic inequalities food access and increase sustainable practices. A growing body of studies highlighted impact income, prices, internet access/connection on shaping people’s behavior buying groceries online. However, there is dearth prior that have examined these three factors at macro/meso level. Therefore, this paper presents an analysis from sample 16 Russian regions with combined population size more than 44 million people. We used fixed effects linear regression model analyze panel data median mobile connection, price index, online sales. Our results show significant income imply while holds huge promise for overcoming unequal achieving sustainability, entrenched challenges such poverty inequality might be difficult shake off.

Abstract Reflecting on the insights from research development within Urban Biodiversity and Design Network (URBIO), this paper attempts to link consequences of current global changes (ongoing urbanization, biodiversity loss, land-use changes, globalization, etc.) emergence outbreaks COVID-19 pandemic. It analyses main outcomes URBIO webinar (December 2021) conference (November 2022) results questionnaire survey among experts impact biodiversity, design society in their local contexts as well ongoing future directions.

Understanding Factors Affecting the Use of Urban Parks Through the Lens of Ecosystem Services and Blue–Green Infrastructure: The Case of Gorky Park, Moscow, Russia

Land, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(2), С. 237 - 237

Опубликована: Янв. 23, 2025

As a core and long-established part of urban blue–green infrastructure (BGI), public parks play significant role in the sustainable development cities. In particular, they make major contribution to maintaining healthy ecosystems providing multiple benefits that support human health quality life as kind nature-based solution (NBS). Still, planning, design, management mostly rely on official standards technical guidelines, whereas societal perspectives use ecosystem services (ES) approach (and cultural (CES) particular) remain inadequately integrated. By assessing CES offered by Gorky Park Moscow (Russia), paper aims bridge this gap investigate flow its relation park visitors’ needs. For purpose, non-participant observation, field notes, photographs were used different functional zones. investigating visitor activities factors affecting them, variety provided have been detected. aligned with original idea, was for recreation, leisure, sports, socializing. Moreover, related aesthetic, educational, heritage values also partially utilized. The attractive younger generation (the highest number visitors), visitors over 60 years old hardly represented. Notably, men more interested sports (especially, team sports), women preferred walking (alone, family, friends), relaxation, playing spending time children, picnicking, etc., which indicated certain preferences among visitors. An interdependent relationship between supply found: infrastructural components identified, greater corresponding detected at observation points, could ultimately lead overcrowding overutilization ES capacity. Given government claims integrating into planning BGI one priorities city’s environmental policies, recommendations are provided. They address recent challenges creating integrated BGI, increasing demand multifunctionality, conflicting interests groups maximize diversity delivered park.

Social Network Analysis Reveals Spatiotemporal Patterns of Green Space Recreational Walking Between Workdays and Rest Days

Urban Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 9(4), С. 111 - 111

Опубликована: Апрель 4, 2025

Growing concerns about the negative impacts of high-density built environments on residents’ physical and mental health have made optimizing recreational walking networks in green spaces a crucial issue for improving urban public service efficiency. While previous studies largely focused static accessibility measures, these methods cannot capture actual human behaviors temporal variations space usage. Our research introduces novel social network analysis methodology using GPS trajectory data from Shanghai’s Inner Ring Area to construct compare during workdays rest days, revealing dynamic spatiotemporal patterns that traditional miss. Key findings include: (1) At node level, different sizes play differentiated roles network, with large-scale serving as destination hubs while pocket function critical connecting points; (2) regional workday show more dispersed spatial distribution higher modularity, day form clusters central area; (3) overall demonstrate density diversity, reflecting expanded activity range diverse preferences. Green management should focus value networks. These provide theoretical methodological support transitioning “static equity” “dynamic justice” system planning, contributing development inclusive resilient
