Can the presence of green space in urban environments reduce the frequency of violent crime? To ascertain the evidence on this topic, we conducted an in-depth literature review using the PRISMA checklist. The search parameters included US articles written in English and published since 2000. More than 30,000 potential paper titles were identified and ultimately, 45 papers were selected for inclusion. Green spaces typically comprised tree cover, parks and ground cover. Criminal behaviors typically included murder, assault, and theft. The majority of the research reviewed involved quantitative methods (e.g., comparison of green space area to crime data). We extracted multiple mechanisms from the literature that may account for the impact of green space on crime including social interaction and recreation, community perception, biophilic stress reduction, climate modulation, and spaces expressing territorial definition. Recommendations are made for future research, such as meta-analysis of existing data and the development of grounded theory through qualitative data-gathering methods. By providing evidence that access to nature has a mitigating impact on violence in urban settings, city governments and communities are empowered to support these interventions.

“…Moreover, population expansion and urban sprawl are inevitable trends in the development of Wuhan, which indicate that the proportion of carbon emissions from urban domestic and transportation will likely continue to increase. Therefore, these data should be part of any potential urban planning improvements or greenhouse gas mitigation strategies-for example, reducing the intensity of energy consumption, addressing cases of extreme congestion, and optimizing the energy structure [4,5].…”

Mapping changes in carbon emissions and carbon storage (CECS) with high precision at a small scale (urban street-block level) can improve governmental policy decisions with respect to the construction of low-carbon cities. In this study, a methodological framework for assessing the carbon budget and its spatiotemporal changes from 2015 to 2017 in Wuhan is proposed, which is able to monitor a large area. To estimate the carbon storage, a comprehensive coefficient model was adopted with carbon density factors and corresponding land cover types. Details regarding land cover were extracted from the Geographic National Census Data (GNCD), including forests, grasslands, croplands, and gardens. For the carbon emissions, an emission-factor model was first used and a spatialization operation was subsequently performed using the geographic location that was obtained from the GNCD. The carbon emissions that were identified in the study are from fossil-fuel consumption, industrial production processes, disposal of urban domestic refuse, and transportation. The final dynamic changes in the CECS, in addition to the net carbon emissions, were monitored and analyzed, yielding temporal and spatial maps with a high-precision at a small scale. The results showed that the carbon storage in Wuhan declined by 2.70% over the three years, whereas the carbon emissions initially increased by 0.2%, and subsequently decreased by 3.1% over this period. The trend in the net carbon emission changes was similar to that of the carbon emissions, demonstrating that the efficiency of carbon reduction was improved during this period. Precise spatiotemporal results at the street-block level can offer insights to governments that are engaged in urban carbon cycle decision making processes, improving their capacities to more effectively manage the spatial distribution of CECS.

“…Instead of those considerations that provide support on very specific issues, academic studies may be expected to foster more comprehensive and innovative suggestions to bring a shift in land use planning approach. Zhang et al (2007), Uy & Nakagoshi (2008) and Aydin & Çukur (2012) are the three examples that best encounters such a context. They search for a balance between CO 2 emissions with production of O 2 in urban environments, while estimating the amount of area to be allocated to green facilities as required by such a balancing approach in urban planning.…”

Urban Land Use Planning as a Tool of Enhancing Cultural Legitimacy on Climate Change: Case of Turkey

While the problem of climate change directly interests persons and communities, the efforts to enhance cultural legitimacy on the problem still remains unsolved in our day. In this study, land use planning is regarded as a means to be used for enhancing cultural legitimacy on climate change, because land use planning has twofold implications: one in terms of leaving significant impacts upon climate change, and the other, with regard to scope of its activities that are of concern of persons and communities directly. For this reason, land use planning can be considered as a bridge between climate change and its cultural legitimacy. In order to achieve this, it becomes necessary to identify those social groups whose actions and daily activities are of particular importance for land use planning and climate change and the modes of relationships in between should further be defined. There are four groups associated with land use planning and climate change: municipalities, users, investors and land owners, and non-governmental organizations and professional chambers. Proposed suggestions for enhancing cultural legitimacy on climate change are formulated separately for these groups. These suggestions are elaborated in the case of Turkish legal mechanisms and the planning practice.
