“…Although contact with nature in the real world is preferred and recommended, and garden tourism is a practice that has grown in recent years (Paiva et al, 2020), the use of technologies can be an alternative in cases where contact in vivo with nature is not possible or recommended for various reasons, such as the current period of social isolation. These technologies use live recordings of nature, virtual tours in parks or botanical gardens, as well as virtual reality.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought drastic routine changes to the world’s population. Social isolation, one of the recommended practices to curb the spread of the disease, can lead to the development of several problems, such as depression, stress, apathy and loneliness. However, practices associated with the cultivation and contemplation of flowers and ornamental plants can be an option to aid in the care for the mental health of the population. It has been proven that hortitherapy helps in the treatment of mental illness, in the recovery of patients. Biophilia incorporated into architectural design and gardening, as a hobby and occupational therapy, can also be used to improve physical and mental health. Activities can be done indoors, outdoors or even virtual, with flowers and plants used as supporting instruments to make the population feel better, including the situation experienced by the period of seclusion.

“…In this literature review: 41/50 studies are supply-oriented, 4/50 are demand-oriented, and 5/50 look at both supply and demand. The four studies focusing only on demand [34,[36][37][38], and the five considering both [16,19,[39][40][41] are particularly interested in the economic survival of historic gardens and understand that resources come from satisfied visitors in both public and private contexts. Rostami et al [36], Saeed et al [38] and Silva and Carvalho [34] use survey questionnaires in order to understand the profile, behavior and satisfaction of visitors.…”

“…Rostami et al [36], Saeed et al [38] and Silva and Carvalho [34] use survey questionnaires in order to understand the profile, behavior and satisfaction of visitors. As de Oliveira Paiva, de Brito Sousa and Carcaud [41] explain in their recent review, this form of inquiry is common in the field of Tourism and Leisure Studies when evaluating market segments and attractions [41]. Todt, Herder and Dabija [37] discuss the economic impact of heritage conservation by citing global tourism board statistics.…”

“…This category contains all but one of this literature review's demand-oriented studies, with Todt, Herder and Dabija [37] offering a discussion of the role of monument protection in tourism; Saeed et al [38] performing a case study of visitor satisfaction in three Moghul Gardens in Pakistan; Silva and Carvalho [34] profiling historic garden visitors in Portugal and comparing their data to similar studies performed in the United Kingdom. In addition, Gratani [40] and de Oliveira Paiva, de Brito Sousa and Carcaud [41] compare both supply and demand in the Rome Botanical Garden (Rome, Italy) and in the international garden tourism market, respectively.…”

Todt et al [37] and de Oliveira Paiva, de Brita Sousa and Carcaud [41] examine the economic implications of historic garden tourism, and Meda and Rinaldi [17] analyze the particular funding and labor problems of Italian University Botanical Gardens.…”

A Systematic Literature Review of Historic Garden Management and Its Economic Aspects

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Historic gardens are important parts of humanity’s built heritage within the designed landscape, providing many environmental, economic and socio-cultural benefits. Management is a key part of their conservation, perhaps the most difficult because it is costly, must be continual, and requires a skilled workforce. This systematic review looks at the literature addressing historic garden management, with special attention regarding the social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability. Academic studies on this subject come from many different disciplines, making it both stimulating and fragmented. It is now time to consolidate these interdisciplinary efforts into a clear vision, including a framework of key themes and research methods so as to better coordinate efforts and make the information and innovation generated more accessible to the garden managers “in the trenches”. With this aim, reviewed studies are classified according to 10 criteria: supply or demand orientation; management phase involved; primary sustainability processes addressed; geographic criteria; number of sites covered; policy documents referred to; kind of data collected; study methods employed; possibility of bias specifically regarding historic gardens; garden use. An analysis of these criteria shows that historic garden management literature focuses on describing the gardens themselves, with few studies interested in the people supporting them. Future research should follow recent policy documents’ lead and pay more attention to community value and involvement.

Phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and economical technology in which plants are used for the removal of contaminants presents in the urban and rural environment. One of the challenges of the technique is the proper destination of the biomass of plants. In this context, the use of ornamental plants in areas under contamination treatment improves landscape, serving as a tourist option and source of income with high added value. In addition to their high stress tolerance, rapid growth, high biomass production, and good root development, ornamental species are not intended for animal and human food consumption, avoiding the introduction of contaminants into the food web in addition to improving the environments with aesthetic value. Furthermore, ornamental plants provide multiple ecosystem services, and promote human well-being, while contributing to the conservation of biodiversity. In this review, we summarized the main uses of ornamental plants in phytoremediation of contaminated soil, air, and water. We discuss the potential use of ornamental plants in constructed buffer strips aiming to mitigate the contamination of agricultural lands occurring in the vicinity of sources of contaminants. Moreover, we underlie the ecological and health benefits of the use of ornamental plants in urban and rural landscape projects. This study is expected to draw attention to a promising decontamination technology combined with the beautification of urban and rural areas as well as a possible alternative source of income and diversification in horticultural production.
