“…First, she classified therapeutic places, as those renowned for healing properties such as: parks; springs; religious pilgrimage sites; hospitals; clinics; and spas (Gesler & Kearns, 2005;Smyth, 2005;Thompson, 2011). Second, stemming from the understanding that inhabiting urban environments can cause physical and mental health problems, therapeutic spaces were environments deemed to be health promoting (Andrews, 2017;Marques et al, 2019;Williams, 2009). This prompted numerous studies demonstrating the importance of access to natural environments for physical, social and psychological health for creating healthy communities (Dannenberg et al, 2011;Srinivasan et al, 2003;Thompson, 2011;Ward Thompson et al, 2010).…”

With the increasing prevalence of mental illness, there is an ever-growing need for supportive and rehabilitative social and health services and facilities. In many countries, the healthcare infrastructure, transitional services and communities are isolated from one another, creating physical and mental barriers to rehabilitation. Therapeutic landscape research suggests that outdoor spaces can facilitate rehabilitative healing, foster community support and self-empowerment. Design focused on facilitating preventative and rehabilitative health may bridge the gap between treatment at the institutional level and day-to-day living environment, by supporting the well-being of vulnerable people. In this paper, the literature as well as individual case studies are explored to better understand how therapeutic environments may enable the built infrastructure and transitional landscapes to fruitfully coexist. Findings suggest that suitable urban integration of services through therapeutic landscapes can provide a catalyst for the well-being of the wider community, mediating healthcare stigmas.

“…The challenges of adjusting to new cultural contexts had a significant impact on how they identified themselves and created an underlying sense of dislocation. Over time and other factors, such as economic pressures, access to materials and resources, meant that for Māori to progress economically, they had to move to commercial centres and adjust to Western culture (Marques, McIntosh, Hatton, & Shanahan, 2019b). This shift has not been without consequences, and it is widely acknowledged that Māori health inequalities have been one outcome of the accumulated effects of colonisation.…”

“…The high demand for provisioning services such as water supply, irrigation, and hydro-power deteriorates the integrity of ecological processes that affect river-basin regulatory and supporting services. Landscapes are the signatures of ecological, economic, social, and cultural interactions [156,157]. The modification of river landscape impacts the landscape features having prime importance in the life of the indigenous people and riparian population [156,157].…”

The process of development has led to the modification of river landscapes. This has created imbalances between ecological, economic, and socio-cultural uses of ecosystem services (ESs), threatening the biotic and social integrity of rivers. Anthropogenic modifications influence river landscapes on multiple scales, which impact river-flow regimes and thus the production of river ESs. Despite progress in developing approaches for the valuation ecosystem goods and services, the ecosystem service research fails to acknowledge the biophysical structure of river landscape where ecosystem services are generated. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to synthesize the literature to develop the understanding of the biocomplexity of river landscapes and its importance in ecosystem service research. The review is limited to anthropogenic modifications from catchment to reach scale which includes inter-basin water transfer, change in land-use pattern, sub-surface modifications, groundwater abstractions, stream channelization, dams, and sand mining. Using 86 studies, the paper demonstrates that river ESs largely depend on the effective functioning of biophysical processes, which are linked with the geomorphological, ecological, and hydrological characteristics of river landscapes. Further, the ESs are linked with the economic, ecological, and socio-cultural aspect. The papers show that almost all anthropogenic modifications have positive impact on economic value of ESs. The ecological and socio-cultural values are negatively impacted by anthropogenic modifications such as dams, inter-basin water transfer, change in land-use pattern, and sand mining. The socio-cultural impact of ground-water abstraction and sub-surface modifications are not found in the literature examined here. Further, the ecological and socio-cultural aspects of ecosystem services from stakeholders’ perspective are discussed. We advocate for linking ecosystem service assessment with landscape signatures considering the socio-ecological interactions.
