“…Other authors identified high demand for observation data to inform conservation and environmental policy, reporting that the vast majority of terrestrial biodiversity observations were made by citizen scientists [75], GEO projects were found to include initiatives calling for citizen collaboration using geographic information systems (GIS) to lower the risk of disaster [57]. The subjects found in the PUBLIC or decision-making cluster were observed to be related to urban pollution [24,76] and large city park management [77].…”

Citizen science (CS) aims primarily to create a new scientific culture able to improve upon the triple interaction between science, society, and policy in the dual pursuit of more democratic research and decision-making informed by sound evidence. It is both an aim and an enabler of open science (OS), to which it contributes by involving citizens in research and encouraging participation in the generation of new knowledge. This study analyses scientific output on CS using bibliometric techniques and Web of Science (WoS) data. Co-occurrence maps are formulated to define subject clusters as background for an analysis of the impact of each on social media. Four clusters are identified: HEALTH, BIO, GEO and PUBLIC. The profiles for the four clusters are observed to be fairly similar, although BIO and HEALTH are mentioned more frequently in blogposts and tweets and BIO and PUBLIC in Facebook and newsfeeds. The findings also show that output in the area has grown since 2010, with a larger proportion of papers (66%) mentioned in social media than reported in other studies. The percentage of open access documents (30.7%) is likewise higher than the overall mean for all areas.

“…Within the SES framework, interactions among stakeholders and feedback‐sharing between natural systems and human activities can address a holistic viewpoint regarding environmental issues such as river restoration (Cohen, Evans, & Mills, ). On the basis of the essential factors of SES, we can highlight that successful river restoration comes from ongoing local interconnections among the various civic perceptions (Carr & Liu, ; Macaraig, ). We examine its transformation as it interacts among hydrological functions, spatial renovation, and environmental quality of natural systems through understanding civic perceptions.…”

“…However, the reality of watershed and riverfront management might be conspicuously different from the typically estimated spatial landscaping revitalization and sociocultural expectations. Most practitioners, who are professional and well‐trained in applying and understanding scientific data, cannot appropriately equally address all of the diverse interests of the users of the watershed, because they typically value only scientific improvements and efficiency in environmental quality (Macaraig, ).…”

“…Third, many residents assume that environmental quality is the most crucial factor in the stream restoration process. The environmental quality increase can be defined as the revitalization work for achieving water quality improvement and upgrades for ecological indicators through scientific tools (Darby & Sear, ; Macaraig, ). The growth in environmental indicators often reflects variations in the objective values of stream restoration (Machado, ).…”

This study explores the application of a civic perception analysis in the context of stream restoration as a social-ecological system (SES). Analysing such a SES is useful for understanding correlations between civic interests and environmental conditions in river restoration. An analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis was used to quantify the demand for restoration objectives. Additionally, an image-based survey was used to precisely capture residents' perceptions of urban stream restoration by comparing aesthetic images, hydrologic functions, and environmental quality. Based on the AHP results, a hierarchical multiple regression was derived. A total of 181 participants responded to our survey, and the results were summarized by each subwatershed in the An'Yang watershed. The results demonstrated that the perceptions of residents who live in various environmental and regional conditions may manifoldly reflect their personal visual and aesthetic preferences by subwatershed. The upstream subwatershed values (SW1 = 7.86 and SW2 = 7.39) were higher than those in the downstream areas (SW5 = 5.28 and SW6 = 5.15). Consequently, this hierarchical multilevel model showed that individual environmental perception was highly associated with visual preference regarding stream restoration at the subwatershed level (p < 0.001). Urban environmental and spatial planners could use such information when restoring and designing waterfront spaces.

“…No quesito Economia, a falta de financiamento foi um fator limitante perceptível nos projetos de ciência cidadã (STEGER et al, 2017;SCHMELLER et al, 2017) e, de forma menos expressiva, Thiel et al (2014) pontua a dificuldade em identificar fontes de apoio ou parcerias para o monitoramento ambiental. Outro ponto relevante relatado foi quanto ao processo de tomada de decisão, no qual os fatores econômicos se sobressaíram sobre as problemáticas ambientais ou sociais na escolha de alternativas para o delineamento e/ou métodos do projeto (MACARAIG, 2015;PIKESLEY et al, 2016;MORÁN-ORDÓNEZ et al, 2018).…”

Monitoramento ambiental por meio da ciência cidadã em cavernas de Unidades de Conservação do Estado de São Paulo

Apesar das áreas protegidas serem ferramentas estratégicas para a conservação dos recursos naturais, sua gestão pode ser desafiadora em países com um alto índice de desigualdade social, grandes extensões territoriais e alta biodiversidade, somado à falta de financiamento e problemas institucionais. Nesse contexto, estabelecer uma metodologia que possa vincular a sociedade ao monitoramento e conservação dessas áreas é fundamental em termos sociais, ambientais e econômicos. Assim, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo propor recomendações para a implementação de um monitoramento ambiental de cavernas situadas em Unidades de Conservação com base nos princípios e diretrizes da ciência cidadã. A presente pesquisa empregou três métodos principais para atingir os objetivos propostos. A primeira etapa consistiu em uma (a) Revisão Bibliográfica Sistemática (RBS) para obter uma lista de boas práticas sobre a Ciência Cidadã no monitoramento ambiental. Essas informações foram utilizadas para estruturar a coleta de dados por meio de (b) questionários direcionados à especialistas da área, de modo a verificar a viabilidade dessa abordagem. Este estudo analisou 60 artigos internacionais e contou com a participação de 19 pesquisadores vinculados a instituições brasileiras de ensino e/ou pesquisa. Os resultados das etapas a e b passaram por uma (c) análise de conteúdo com o propósito de sistematizar os resultados para sugerir recomendações finais. Em sua maioria, as respostas dadas pelos pesquisadores foram ao encontro do que foi observado em estudos anteriores sobre ciência cidadã, apresentando adaptações para o contexto de monitoramento ambiental das atividades de uso público em cavernas brasileiras, tal como recomendações e desafios que não constaram na revisão bibliográfica sistemática.Palavras-chaves: parques; monitoramento participativo; ambientes subterrâneos; uso público.
