“…Sustainable maintenance and strict management aligning with the territorial spatial planning policy are crucial for different natural resources such as forest, waterbodies and wetlands with high ES provision in XMA (Figures 3A and A1). Well-functioning forests are critical for retaining water, evapotranspiration, CS, and preventing soil erosion (Kato & Huang, 2021). Water bodies and wetlands contributed a lot to regulating the urban climate in XMA (Figures 3A and A1).…”

“…In recent decades, the Earth's surface environment and landscape systems have been changing rapidly due to the dual impact of human activities and natural processes (Joly & de Castro, 2019). With rapid population growth and economic development, global environment suffers dramatic changes (Wang et al, 2019), accompanying with a series of ecological problems such as frequent natural disasters (Kato & Huang, 2021). The global loss of biodiversity and ESs are facing the most critical environmental problems nowadays (Niz et al, 2023).…”

“…Land‐use change has proved to be one of the most direct and crucial causes of ecosystem degradation (Kato & Huang, 2021; Liang et al, 2017). Rapid urban expansion intensified the geographical imbalance of ESs (Cao et al, 2021; Delphin et al, 2016), increasing the vulnerability of regional ecosystems and inducing ES risk (Deng et al, 2021; Jiang et al, 2020).…”

Rapid global urbanization has perturbed ecosystem structures and functions, resulting in ecological risk and threatening sustainable human well‐being and socioeconomic development. However, scientific indicators to analyze ecosystem service (ES) risk patterns need to be explored in detail. In addition, studies on ES supply risk are stagnating on historical or status explorations, especially from the view of disturbance from land‐use changes. This study seeks to develop a framework for modeling past‐future ES supply risk pattern evaluation and probing into ES risk patterns under different future land‐use scenarios. To achieve this objective, the framework integrates the Future Land Use Simulation (FLUS) model, the Intelligent Urban Ecosystem Management System (IUEMS) model, and an established indicator system incorporating ES supply trend, hotspots and coldspots, and ES trade‐offs, and synergies. The results show that: (1) In 2050, the supply of climate regulation in the Xi'an Metropolitan Area (XMA) will increase, while that of carbon sequestration and recreation will decrease. In 2050, the supply of climate regulation is the highest under ecological protection (EP) scenario, while the supply of carbon sequestration and recreation are the highest under cropland protection (CP) scenario. (2) From 2000 to 2050, the hotspots and coldspots of climate regulation increase in both natural development (ND) scenario and CP scenario. Notably, CP scenario experiences the most significant reduction in extremely significant hotspots and coldspots of carbon sequestration. From 2000 to 2050, at the regional and pixel scales, climate regulation and carbon sequestration mainly show trade‐offs, and carbon sequestration and recreation show synergies. (3) ES supply risk in XMA is high in the center and low in the north and south. The ES supply risk from 2000 to 2050 is increasing, with expanding “extremely high risk”, “high risk”, and “extremely safe” areas. ES supply risk management should adhere to more strict land‐use policies and guidelines, management zoning for areas with different levels of ES risk, and an accurate understanding of ES trade‐offs and synergies for scientific risk management. This study could provide theoretical and technical references for ES risk assessment research and promote scientific ecological risk management.

“…For example, the Fundamental Plan for National Resilience in 2018 refers to the importance of implementing and promoting the concepts of Eco-DRR and green infrastructure to enhance resilience (Cabinet Secretariat, 2018). Japan has experience in integrating ecosystem perspectives into water related DRR (e.g., river and coastal DRR), and the existing literature identifies good practices and case studies for Eco-DRR in Japan (Furuta & Shimatani, 2018;Kato & Huang, 2021;Mabon, 2019), although discussion on integrating those case studies to national and local governance is limited. The literature on Eco-DRR in Asia is largely centered on Japan.…”

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are recognized under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity. This relatively new concept has become a key element in strategies for green recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. NbS consist of a range of measures that address various societal challenges, including climate change, natural disasters, and water security, by combining human well-being and biodiversity benefits. Although the importance of NbS has been widely recognized, existing studies on aspects of their governance are limited and mainly focus on NbS in European countries. There is little relevant research in other regions, including Asia. This study aimed to explore challenges for NbS governance by analyzing the development and implementation of NbS in Asia. We focused on NbS in the fields of climate change mitigation and adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and infrastructure. In these three fields, NbS are linked to climate security issues and have been widely implemented in Asian countries. This analysis identified the challenges for NbS governance for countries at different stages of economic development, and for developing measures for NbS with different institutions and actors. It recognizes the importance of a framework that matches the need for NbS with relevant institutions and actors at various scales and in various sectors. Guidelines are required to integrate NbS into strategies and policies at national and local levels and also into international cooperation.

“…These disasters can result in widespread flooding and landslides (Cabinet Office, 2021). In recent years, the need for environmental sustainability and ecosystem conservation has become more pronounced, and the effectiveness of nature-based disaster mitigation and risk reduction solutions has been tested (Kato and Huang, 2021;Lo, Huang et al, 2021;Osawa, Nishida et al, 2021). However, using only nature-based solutions to prevent all of the effects of torrential rains and typhoons and associated river flooding it is not realistic given the level of present technology (Vojinovic, Alves et al, 2021).…”

We examined the possibility that residents who experience severe natural disasters such as typhoons can subsequently develop increased positive feelings toward the place where they live. Accordingly, we surveyed Japanese residents about their place attachment before and after Typhoon No. 19 in 2019 by comparing the perceptions of mandatory evacuation-order area residents with those of other area residents. The data were collected from 11,799 residents from all over Japan via a web-based questionnaire survey conducted in November 2019, immediately after the October 2019 typhoon. The results indicated that place attachment improved significantly among residents of underpopulated mandatory evacuation-order areas. We hypothesized that social capital unique to rural areas was a factor in this improvement, but the exact causal relationship has not been identified. The next task is to test this hypothesis, which may contribute to the development of a disaster resilience theory that is specific to rural areas.
