“…These elements reduce or provide specific ecosystem services. Due to the development of remote-sensing technologies and geographical information systems (GIS), biotope mapping has improved through quick and accurate mapping methods (Ehlers et al 2003; Mansuroglu et al 2006). However, traditional mapping methods incorporate only land cover aspects when mapping and assessing ES using GIS or remote sensing (Troy and Wilson 2006; Burkhard et al 2009) and disregard use and accessibility aspects of mapped elements.…”

Determining the performance of ecosystem services at the city or regional level cannot accurately take into account the fine differences between green or gray structures. The supply of regulating ecosystem services in, for instance, parks can differ as parks vary in their land cover composition. A comprehensive ecosystem service assessment approach also needs to reflect land use to consider the demands placed on ecosystem services, which are mostly neglected by current research yet important for urban planning. For instance, if a sealed surface is no longer used, it could be unsealed to improve ecosystem service supply. Because of these scientific shortcomings, this article argues for a conceptual framework for the non-monetary assessment of urban ecosystem services at the site scale. This paper introduces a standardized method for selecting representative sites and evaluating their supply of and demand on ecosystem services. The conceptual design is supplemented by examples of Salzburg, Austria.

“…Both of them cover Europe entirely, showing great advantages through regular updates (every six to 10 years); (ii) at the national level: e.g., Natura 2000 (N2K) for 2006 and 2012 across 28 EU nations; (iii) at the state or municipal level: e.g., Urban Atlas (UA) datasets and biotope mapping (based on aerial photography and ground investigations of individual habitats). For biotope mapping, internationally, there is a rising number of biotope mappings in countries such as South Korea [44], Turkey [45], China [46], and Norway [47]. For a country like Germany, where the biotope mapping has had a long-standing tradition of more than 45 years, RS orbital and aerial images are of great value, because they support the classification system of biotope types at one point in time over a large space.…”

The aim of this study is to provide an integrated indicator framework for the Assessment of Multifunctional Green Infrastructure (AMGI) to advance the evolution of the Green Infrastructure (GI) concept, and simultaneously deliver an approach do conduct a GI assessment using remote sensing datasets at multiple spatial and spectral scales. Based on this framework, we propose an explicit methodology for AMGI, while addressing the multi-dimensional pillars (ecology, socio-economy, socio-culture, and human health) for urban sustainability and the multifunctionality of GI. For the purpose of validation, we present the extensive process of employing our framework and methodology, and give an illustrative case exemplified in a European city, i.e., Leipzig, Germany. In this exemplification, we deployed three stages regarding how a single assessment can be conducted: from conceptual framework for priority setting, contextual assessment, to retrospective assessment. In this illustrative case study, we enclosed 18 indicators, as well as identified hot and cold spots of selected GI functions and their multifunctionality. A clear framework and methodology is crucial for the sustainable management of spatially oriented GI plans over time and for different stakeholder groups. Therefore, GI planners and policy makers may now refer to our integrative indicator framework and provided application methodology as common grounds for a better mutual understanding amongst scientists and stakeholders. This study contributes to discourses regarding the enhancement of the GI concept and is expected to provoke more discussion on the improvements of high-quality Remote Sensing (RS) data as well as the development of remote sensing-based methods at multiple spatial, temporal, and spectral scales to support GI plans.
