“…The relationships between ecosystem services and urbanization have recently attracted extensive attention; however, different urbanization indices reflected different aspects of social-economic development and caused different impacts on ecosystem services by region [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Our results revealed that three urbanization indices, i.e., economic urbanization, population urbanization, and land urbanization, had significantly negative relationships with TESV in Jiangsu (Table 5), which is consistent with the results of other previous work [4,7,21,28]. An important reason is likely that the rapid conversion of land use caused by urbanization necessitated a large reduction in ecological land, such as cropland, woodland, and grassland.…”

“…It is well known that China has been undergoing a significant and complex urbanization process for the past 30 years [1,2]. A marked result of this process is that large areas of non-construction land have converted to construction land due to increasing urbanization, which has had a negative impact on the structures, processes, and functions of the affected ecosystems [3,4]. Ecological problems, such as urban heat islands, air pollution, and land deterioration, have not been addressed in many of our study will provide a potentially useful resource for sustainable development in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster.…”

Ecosystem services are comprehensive and quantitative indicators for describing ecosystem–human interactions. China has experienced rapid urbanization in the past 30 years, which has created a significant impact on regional ecosystem services. However, whether the impact is linear is not clear as yet. In this study, the Jiangsu province, a main body of the Chinese Yangtze River Delta city cluster, was chosen as a case study. Multi-source remotely-sensed geospatial data, including meteorological, land use, vegetation, and socio-economic data, were collected to estimate the total amount of ecosystem services (TESV) and urbanization levels. Subsequently, the relationships between TESV and urbanization indices (i.e., gross domestic product (GDP) per unit area, GPUA; population per unit area, PPUA; and built-up land proportion, BULP) were determined using the Pearson correlation analysis and piecewise linear regression. The primary findings of this study were as follows: (1) There was a distinct spatial pattern in TESV, which gradually increased from west to east with high-value areas located in eastern coastal areas of Jiangsu. Among different land use types, cropland and woodland contributed the most to TESV; (2) The three urbanization indices had spatial patterns, indicating higher urbanization in southern Jiangsu than in central or northern Jiangsu; and (3) Once GPUA and PPUA exceeded threshold values of 3719.55 × 104 yuan/km2 and 744.37 person/km2, respectively, TESV sharply decreased with an increase in these indices. However, the BULP showed a linear and significantly negative relationship with TESV at all values, which indicated that the impacts of economic and population growth on TESV lagged behind that of built-up land expansion. These findings provide a potentially significant reference for decision-makers to rationally enhance regional ecosystem services during rapid urbanization processes.

“…This study describes a method to investigate the relationship between urban spatial patterns and ecosystem services during a dramatic urbanization process. Many studies have demonstrated that urbanization causes a reduction in ecosystem services [3,35]. Our findings suggest that ecosystem services decreased in response to urbanization.…”

“…This outcome is consistent with findings described in other studies that also concluded that urbanization and ecosystem services are significantly correlated. For example, Zhang et al (2018) highlighted that growth in population caused substantial reduction in in the supply of ecosystem services associated with the urbanization in Wuhan, China [35]. Sun et al (2018) suggested that the transformation from vegetation land into built-up land is an important factor in the decline of ecosystem services for the Atlanta metropolitan area, United States [36].…”

Ecosystem services are the benefits obtained from an ecosystem that have great significance in sustainable development. Urbanization has triggered significant changes on urban spatial patterns, which have had a great impact on the ecosystem services. However, studies on the spatiotemporally varying relationship between urban spatial patterns and ecosystem services are lacking. Taking as a case study, the Nansihu Lake Basin in China, this study aimed to explore the spatiotemporally varying relationship between urban spatial patterns and ecosystem services. Urban spatial patterns were derived by integrating remote sensing and spatial metrics. Ecosystem service values were calculated using ecosystem service models. The spatiotemporally varying impact of urban spatial patterns on ecosystem services was quantified using the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model. The findings indicate that urban spatial patterns and ecosystem services have dramatically varied with the urbanization process. The estimated parameters indicate that urban spatial patterns have significant impacts on ecosystem services. The GWR revealed a spatiotemporally varying correlation and improved the explanatory ability in comparison with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model. The investigation of the impact of urban spatial patterns on ecosystem services can provide more practical support for effective urban planning and ecosystem management.

“…За опублікованими даними (Zhang, 2018), серед EП найчутливішим до зростання урбанізації є збереження біорізноманіття, за яким слідує відпочинок на свіжому повітрі, стік води, продуктивність зерна, зберігання вуглецю та запобігання ерозії. Просторове вивчення взаємозв'язків між ЕП та урбанізацією дає змогу розробити практичні рекомендації щодо планування міського розвитку та охорони навколишнього середовища.…”

Оцінка Екосистемних Послуг У Генеральному Плануванні Міських Територій

На основі аналізу літературних джерел і генеральних планів розвитку міст з’ясовано сучасний стан та рівень впровадження концепції екосистемних послуг у містобудівному плануванні України й окреслено перспективи його інтеграції та розвитку. Обґрунтовано координованість генерального планування із динамікою трансформації землекористування міських територій і вартістю їх екосистемних послуг. Зазначено, що оцінювання екосистемних послуг здійснюється за трьома напрямами: екологічним, економічним і соціальним. Для кожної з груп екосистемних послуг застосовують свої методи оцінювання. Так, забезпечувальні екосистемні послуги найчастіше оцінюють за їх ринковою вартістю, регулятивні – методами "запобігання та заміщення витрат", культурні – методом "витрат на подорож". За результатами аналізу динаміки вартості послуг глобальної екосистеми впродовж 1995-2015 рр. виявлено втрату $1,21 млрд, що свідчить про найбільшу уразливість екорегіонів, у складі яких домінують екостабілізаційні угіддя: ліси, луки, пасовища, води.Обґрунтовано необхідність гармонізації національного екологічного законодавства з європейськими стандартами, впровадження екосистемного підходу в територіальний менеджмент, деоцінювання екосистемних послуг має стати невід’ємним атрибутом територіального планування. Враховуючи, що серед індикаторів сталого розвитку ООН є низка показників, пов'язаних із екологічною стійкістю природних комплексів і співвіднесених із екосистемними послугами (наприклад, лісистість), обґрунтовано атрибутивність введення альтернативного нормативного показника для генерального планування міських територій – рівня озеленення міста як містобудівного обмеження.
