“…In this study, we chose litter decomposition as model ecosystem function, due to its importance in maintaining soil quality in urban gardens (Schram-Bijkerk et al, 2018) and because of the lack of studies analysing the effect of urbanisation on litter decomposition (Dorendorf et al, 2015). We investigated direct and indirect effects of environmental factors and management practices on litter decomposition along an urban intensity gradient, which was measured as the local temperature increase due to urban warming.…”

Our data also show that plant species richness positively affected litter decomposition by increasing soil fauna species richness and microbial activity. A multivariate analysis of organic compounds in litter residues confirmed the importance of soil fauna species richness and garden management on litter decomposition processes. Overall, we showed, that also in intensively managed urban green spaces, such as gardens, biodiversity of plants and soil fauna drives key ecosystem processes. Urban planning strategies that integrate soil protecting management practices may help to maintain important ecosystem services in this heavily used urban environment.

Regarding the overall objective, the proposal wants to test new design strategies, new instruments and methodologies to examine a real environment, to value its future transformations, to identify and maximize the effects of the environment for man's psychophysical well-being.…”

The research presents the participatory processes implemented using Eye-track and EEG to analyse and "survey" the landscape, the immaterial relation that determines the quality of places. If it is always feasible to measure quantities, it is more complex to bring out data and interpretations on the values of places. This path based on the centrality of vision, it focuses on the possibility of detecting through biosensors what attracts the eye most, but also on the effect of vision of this on man. By combining these instruments and their data, it is possible to associate the observer's staring with the sensations he feels, thus explicitly explaining the concept of imageability expressed by Kevin Lynch, it is possible to individuate precisely which elements of the urban space attract the observer and what kind of status arouse in him.The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-2/W15, 2019 27th CIPA International Symposium "Documenting the past for a better future", 1-5 September 2019, Ávila, SpainThis contribution has been peer-reviewed. https://doi.org/10.5194/isprs-archives-XLII-2-W15-165-2019 | © Authors 2019.

This study aimed to reveal the influence of food production experience on dietary knowledge, dietary awareness, dietary behaviors, and health among Japanese populations. We conducted a systematic review of articles published between January 2000 and September 2018 (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019117163) using the following four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, CiNii, and ICHUSHI. The search formulas were created by combining search terms "agricultural experience," "garden," "diet," "food," "physical activity," "health," and "well-being." The articles were identified by titles, abstracts, and whole texts. We evaluated the content of the articles that met the adoption criteria. We included original articles from peer-reviewed scientific journals, articles written in Japanese or English, observational or interventional studies with statistical analyses, and articles targeting general Japanese people (except for those targeting patients or disabled) to examine the relationship according to the purpose of this review. Nineteen articles met the study criteria, including 10 cross-sectional studies, one retrospective study, seven pre-post studies, and three non-randomized controlled trials. Two studies combined multiple research designs. Thus, food production experiences were suggested to have a positive influence on dietary knowledge, dietary awareness, food preference, dietary behaviors, and mental health among the Japanese. However, the overall quality of the included studies was low. Further verification with randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies is required.
