“…The shift in the usage of the naturalness concept in academic discourse is a result of the increased occurrence of the term in social science. Recently, it was discussed in the context of perceptions of a landscape (conscious and unconscious perceptions with all of the senses [36,37]) and restorativeness [38,39]. Even if the study concerns vegetation, it will refer to the perception of naturalness [40].…”

This paper considers the issue of urban inhabitants’ appreciation of the naturalness of the landscape provided that people living in urban areas can benefit from the green space and would like to care more about its protection. This study examines: (1) Warsaw inhabitants’ preferences with regard to places to spend free time outdoors; (2) public perception of the advantages and disadvantages of the semi-natural Vistula riverfront; and (3) people’s connectedness to nature and willingness to donate funds to modernize the riverfront (N = 630). We applied a questionnaire method based on the computer-assisted web interview. The findings suggest that Warsaw residents appreciate the naturalness of the landscape at the Vistula riverfront, would not like to take direct responsibility for its condition, and would rather the municipality invest in public spaces. Therefore, the municipality of Warsaw should work to enhance inhabitants’ attachment to the place and build a sense of common responsibility for the protection of the riverfront’s natural environment.

“…While monocultures are more efficient in the production of wood fibre, they provide fewer ecosystem services when compared to natural forests or polyculture plantations. Examples of its lower capacity to provide ecosystem services include a reduced capacity to support biodiversity, nutrient cycling and soil formation (Baral, Guariguata & Keenan, 2016;Brockerhoff, Jactel, Parrotta & Ferraz, 2012;Felton et al, 2016;Stephens & Wagner, 2007); water purification, biological control and pest management, adaptation to climate change and the risk of forest fires (Baral et al, 2016;Brockerhoff et al, 2012;Felton et al, 2016;Peña-Fernandez & Valenzuela-Palma, 2004); the provision of habitat, food and natural medicines (Baral et al, 2016;Brockerhoff et al, 2012); and reduced cultural and recreational services (Felton et al, 2016, Muñoz-Pedreros, 2017. Therefore, the sustainable management of monoculture plantations is a priority for the development and wellbeing of rural communities (Bleyer, Kniivilä, Horne, Sitoe & Falcão, 2016;D'Amato, Rekola, Wan, Cai & Toppinen, 2017;Landry & Chirwa, 2011;Miller & Buys, 2014).…”

The forestry sector will play a key role in the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The forestry sector is a pillar of many countries’ economies, including Chile. Despite the many economic benefits of the sector for the country, its contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is not clear, especially for rural communities that co-exist with the sector. This study therefore aimed to identify the impacts of the sector on the sustainable development of rural communities in a Chilean commune, Cabrero, and link these impacts to the SDGs. Based on a mixed-method approach that considers key stakeholders perspectives, the paper finds that the forestry sector has multiple and complex impacts on sustainable development, with both positive and negatives outcomes for rural communities, generating synergies and trade-offs with all of the 17 SDGs. It concludes that while companies play a key role in delivering the 2030 Agenda, the achievement of the SDGs will require collaboration amongst people, government and the private sector to understand and support the delivery of a forestry sector that contributes to the sustainable development of communities in Cabrero and, more generally, in Chile.

“…Diverse and naturally valuable land cover types are indicative of high-quality landscapes (Richling 2018). However, most changes in the landscape have anthropogenic origin (Bogaert et al 2014;Muñoz-Pedreros 2017). Civilizational processes such as urbanization are easily discernible in the landscape, and most of them lead to the degradation of the surrounding environment (Hunziker et al 2007).…”

The present era is characterized by unprecedented levels of human activity, which adapt the world to our needs and induce transformations in landscape morphology and physiognomy. The Anthropocene is a remarkable epoch, where changes in space are not only visible, but also confirmed by an extensive body of research. Human activities lead to the creation of numerous tools for measuring the scale of anthropogenic pressure. Satellite and photogrammetric data that broaden our field of vision and change the scale of reference from local to global or even beyond global. These data support observations of the present condition of the surrounding space as well as the rate of changes in space. In the present study, land cover data were used to monitor changes in the surrounding landscape. A system for classifying evolutionary changes in space was proposed to monitor land-use transformations and describe landscape stability. The applicability of CORINE Land Cover (CLC) data for such analyses was evaluated. The research hypotheses and the proposed procedure were tested in the Mazovian (Polish: Mazowieckie) Voivodeship and the city of Warsaw, the Polish capital and the central point of the analyzed voivodeship which generates continuous changes in space. The results of the study confirmed the research hypotheses and demonstrated that CLC data are suitable for monitoring spatial changes.
