“…The fact that there is a high proportion of values found near roads does not mean that roads increase nature values. As shown by Kulczyk, Woźniak, and Derek (2018), the distribution of values can be locally affected by infrastructure despite nature being the true attraction in the region. Such data will not fully capture the fine‐scale distribution of nature qualities that are appreciated in landscapes more distant from roads.…”

“…Another key aspect in which the proposed methodology supports the design of planning actions is the explicit distinction between potential and actual opportunities for nature-based recreation. Highlighting the role of facilities and infrastructures to access and to use the areas as a pre-requisite to realize the recreation potential is coherent with studies about recreation in both urban parks and extra-urban areas [43,67,80], and limits causal assumptions that link the presence of green spaces to their use for recreation, which proved to be largely unfounded [81]. Discriminating whether scarce opportunities for nature-based recreation are the consequence of a low recreation potential or the result of scarce availability of facilities and infrastructures supports the selection of appropriate planning and management interventions.…”

“…To overcome these limitations, innovative approaches and methods analyzing nature-based recreation from an ecosystem service perspective have been recently developed and applied in a variety of contexts [36][37][38], including urban areas [32,[39][40][41]. These methods assess nature-based recreation considering both the supply, which depends on the potential of different green spaces based on their typology and conditions, and the demand for the service, which depends on the context-specific preferences of the local population [42,43]. Despite their growing popularity, the improvements potentially brought to urban planning decisions with respect to other, more common approaches and indicators, are yet to be measured.…”

Nature-based recreation is among the most relevant ecosystem services supplied by urban green infrastructure, affecting citizens’ physical and mental wellbeing. Providing adequate green spaces for nature-based recreation is among the main goals of urban planning, but commonly-used indicators offer a partial view on the issue. Innovative methods and approaches, such as the ESTIMAP-recreation model, appear as promising ways to increase the quality of information available for decision-makers by considering both the range of green spaces that provide the service and the locally-specific demand. The article presents an application of the ESTIMAP-recreation model to the city of Trento (Italy), aimed at testing its adaptation to the local context and the potential improvements brought to urban planning. The comparison of the results with traditional indicators based on the availability and accessibility to urban parks shows significant differences in terms of priority of intervention across the city, with implications on planning decisions. The application demonstrates that innovative methods can enhance the understanding of nature-based recreation in cities beyond the focus on urban parks, revealing a wide portfolio of actions that planners can put in place to promote nature-based recreation through a multifunctional green infrastructure.

“…However, if there are several lakes close to each other, they may allow for multiple uses in a spatially separated layout, e.g., recreation and nature conservation. Good design and management (considered guidance, smart location, and infrastructure development, particularly access roads and exceptionally attractive recreational facilities) allow for directing activities and managing intensity of use [119].…”

Realizing Beneficial End Uses from Abandoned Pit Lakes

Pit lakes can represent significant liabilities at mine closure. However, depending upon certain characteristics of which water quality is key, pit lakes often also present opportunities to provide significant regional benefit and address residual closure risks of both their own and overall project closure and even offset the environmental costs of mining by creating new end uses. These opportunities are widely dependent on water quality, slope stability, and safety issues. Unfortunately, many pit lakes have continued to be abandoned without repurposing for an end use. We reviewed published pit lake repurposing case studies of abandoned mine pit lakes. Beneficial end use type and outcome varied depending upon climate and commodity, but equally important were social and political dynamics that manifest as mining company commitments or regulatory requirements. Many end uses have been realized: passive and active recreation, nature conservation, fishery and aquaculture, drinking and industrial water storage, greenhouse carbon fixation, flood protection and waterway remediation, disposal of mine and other waste, mine water treatment and containment, and education and research. Common attributes and reasons that led to successful repurposing of abandoned pit lakes as beneficial end uses are discussed. Recommendations are given for all stages of mine closure planning to prevent pit lake abandonment and to achieve successful pit lake closure with beneficial end uses.
