“…Il suddetto tasso di risposta può essere considerato soddisfacente se comparato a quello ottenuto da analoghe ricerche nazionali condotte in situ che hanno messo in luce dei tassi di risposta compresi tra il 70% e il 90% (Notaro & Dallapiccola 2000, Gios & Notaro 2001, Pastorella et al 2016a). Le principali motivazioni di coloro che non sono stati disponibili a compilare il questionario in oggetto sono state: "la mancanza di tempo" e "il non voler essere interrotto/a durante l'attività ricreativa in corso di svolgimento".…”

Urban and peri-urban forests play a relevant role for the urban population providing recreational and relaxing opportunities, improving air and water quality, and maintaining local biodiversity. In the last century, anthropic pressure and social requests on urban and peri-urban forests was drastically increased. In this context, surveys aimed to investigate the opinions and preferences of residents and visitors about urban and peri-urban forests are relevant in order to supply useful information to the local managers. The aim of the present study is to investigate social preferences for aesthetic and functional characteristics of the Monte Morello peri-urban forest in Tuscany after two different silvicultural treatments (traditional thinning and selective thinning). In order to collect the social preferences a semi-structured questionnaire was administered in spring-summer 2016 to 201 visitors of the Monte Morello peri-urban forest. The results of the survey show that the respondents prefer mixed forests with a horizontal and vertical differentiated stand structure. The respondents prefer three benefits (ecosystem services) provided by the Monte Morello forest: recreational opportunities, carbon dioxide sequestration and biodiversity conservation. In addition, the results show that respondents prefer from the aesthetic point of view the peri-urban forest of Monte Morello after the selective thinning. Conversely, the scenario status quo is the least appreciated due to the high amount of deadwood. The results of the present study provide quali-quantitative information useful for the decision makers (forest planners and managers) in order to define forest management strategies to enhance a peri-urban forest from the recreational point of view and to increase the site attractiveness.Keywords: Peri-urban Forests, Ecosystem Services, Tourism-recreation Function, Visitors, Questionnaire Survey, Tuscany Region IntroduzioneNell'ultimo secolo il ruolo delle foreste urbane e periurbane è profondamente cambiato a causa di una serie di fattori globali -quali l'urbanizzazione e l'industrializzazione -che hanno aumentato la pressione antropica sulle aree naturali prossime agli abitati e, al contempo, ne hanno accresciuto l'importanza sociale (Blazevska et al. 2012, Pastorella et al. 2017. Il rivitalizzato ruolo delle aree naturali con elementi arborei, interne alle città (foreste urbane) o localizzate nelle zone limitrofe ai centri urbani (foreste peri-urbane), è dovuto ad una crescente richiesta sociale di zone verdi dove svolgere attività sportive e ricreative -ad esempio corsa, passeggiate con i cani, bicicletta (Andrada & Deng 2010) -e in grado di migliorare la qualità della vita dei residenti (Tuffery 2014). In tal senso, le foreste urbane e peri-urbane sono un importante "polmone verde" per la popolazione urbana, in grado assorbire anidride carbonica (CO 2 ) atmosferica e sostanze inquinanti (Strohbach & Haase 2012, Nikodinoska et al. 2018. Tali foreste svolgono inoltre un rilevante ruolo estetico migliorando la vivibili...

Urban ecosystem Services in Latin America: mismatch between global concepts and regional realities?

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is one of the most urbanized and biologically diverse regions in the world but is often characterized by weak environmental governance and socioeconomic inequalities. Given large expanses of intact biomes, a long history of pre-Colombian civilizations, and recent urbanization trends, the urban ecosystem services (UES) concept has the potential to address issues of well-being for its citizens. We review relevant regional and global literature and use expert-based knowledge to identify the state of the art of the UES concept as applicable to green spaces in LAC and elucidate three overarching guidelines for management and future research needs: 1. LAC cities can be socio-ecologically unique; 2. Drivers of UES in LAC can be different than in other regions; and 3. Context and demand need to be accounted for when valuing UES. Overall, we show that research on UES is mostly from the global north and rarely accounts for the diverse and complex socio-political and ecological drivers of LAC's urbanization processes. We find that, as in other regions, the biophysical context and land use policies play a major role on UES provision. However, socioeconomic inequalities and weak governance are key drivers in UES supply and demand in LAC. Context-specific information on how to promote, educate, and apply UES is particularly important, not only in LAC, but in other regions where inequities, rapid urbanization, and climate change effects are stressing socio-political and ecological systems and their adaptive capacities. Standardized approaches from developed countries should be used to complement -not substitute -LAC context specific approaches for studying and applying UES. We suggest that improved research funding and local governance can also provide critical strategies, information and the means for more effective management, planning, and equitable provision of UES.

El propósito de este estudio fue realizar una modelación dinámica de la oferta y demanda de bienes y servicios ecosistémicos en relación con el cambio de uso del suelo por expansión urbana, en la reserva forestal productora Thomas van der Hammen, en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia. Se analizó el crecimiento poblacional, cambio de uso del suelo y de bienes y servicios ecosistémicos. La modelación dinámica se desarrolló utilizando el programa Vensim PLE®. Como resultados, se observó que para el año 2060 la reserva presentaría pérdida, cambio o deterioro en 68.75% del área que oferta bienes y servicios ecosistémicos de mantenerse las tasas actuales de cambio de uso del suelo. Además, se duplicaría la población al interior de la reserva para el periodo 2055-2056 y se perdería el agua sub-superficial como bien y servicio de provisión. Se discutió la relación existente entre la expansión urbana y el efecto negativo expresado en el deterioro de bienes y servicios ecosistémicos.
