“…The majority of all studies (12 out of 14) analysed environmental inequalities related to green space [34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45] and two studies investigated unequal distributions of blue space [46,47]. Germany was the country where most studies were conducted ( n = 8).…”

“…Some studies also calculated vegetation indices from remote sensing or other databases covering overall vegetation. One study applied a standardised audit tool to assess planting in parks [36]. One study on blue space also used existing land use data on urban blue [46], whereas the other study focused on aquatic environments localised by the study participants [47].…”

Residential green and blue spaces and their potential health benefits have received increasing attention in the context of environmental health inequalities, because an unequal social distribution of these resources may contribute to inequalities in health outcomes. This systematic review synthesised evidence of environmental inequalities, focusing on availability and accessibility measures of green and blue spaces. Studies in the World Health Organisation (WHO) European Region published between 2010 and 2017 were considered for the review. In total, 14 studies were identified, where most of them (n = 12) analysed inequalities of green spaces. The majority had an ecological study design that mostly applied deprivation indices on the small area level, whereas cross-sectional studies on the individual level mostly applied single social measures. Ecological studies consistently showed that deprived areas had lower green space availability than more affluent areas, whereas mixed associations were found for single social dimensions in cross-sectional studies on the individual level. In order to gain more insights into how various social dimensions are linked to the distribution of environmental resources within the WHO European Region, more studies are needed that apply comparable methods and study designs for analysing social inequalities in environmental resources.

“…Using geographic information systems to map landscape values has been tested and shown to be effective for landscape planning (Gallo, Townshend, & Lake, 2015;Moore et al, 2017;Ramirez-Gomez et al, 2016). Here, participatory mapping was used to test the worth of using iconic species in understanding the co-occurrence of individual values in a landscape.…”

Participatory mapping: Exploring landscape values associated with an iconic species

Participatory mapping provides a way to collate a wide range of landscape values providing a visual representation to inform conservation planning. We tested the use of an iconic species, the Greater Flamingo, as a lens for participatory mapping to render explicit the socio-cultural values attributed in a landscape. Spatial information on six landscape values in a biodiversity hotspot, the Camargue Biosphere Reserve (southern France) was collected from 113 participants through surveys, interviews and workshops. This data was geolocated through a SoftGIS methodology to map and quantify the overlap of bivariate hotspots identifying value concurrence. The most frequent values recorded through total number of polygons and surface areas were wilderness and recreation. The least frequently mapped values were economic loss and biodiversity. There was frequent concurrence between biodiversity and aesthetic values especially in wetlands (lagoons, salt flats and sea). There was also frequent concurrence between biodiversity and recreational values with more overlap in sites with easy access (along roads and public areas). Our results show that using an iconic species is an effective way to render explicit spatial variations in the values attributed to a landscape and to identify concurrence of values, thus enabling integration of multiple landscape values in conservation planning how to cite :

“…55 US studies of children and adolescents have correlated access to leisure facilities with physical activity, healthy weight, and diet. 56,57 A French study similarly found that where access to physical activity facilities and general food outlets was low, there was a higher risk of children being overweight, but only for lower socioeconomic groups, and the relationship did not hold true for more affluent children. In the United Kingdom, a detailed study of two parks and their peripheral environment suggested that the quality of park provision and the healthfulness of surrounding food environments favoured the more affluent area.…”
