“…A broader vision of what conservation is, what nature looks like beyond protected lands, and who is included in the conservation community is long overdue. Acknowledging that there are different ways that heritage and history shape how people experience the natural world, or see nature as a part of their lives, is an important first step in broadening the conservation community (Campbell, 2015). Our research indicates that cities can play a critical role in species and habitat conservation and that interdisciplinary approaches that engage urban stakeholders can have an outsize impact on wildlife conservation.…”

Does Nature Need Cities? Pollinators Reveal a Role for Cities in Wildlife Conservation

It is well-established that cities need nature for critical ecosystem services-from storing carbon, to reducing temperatures, to mitigating stormwater-and there is growing momentum to seek out strategies for how these services can intersect with urban design and planning efforts. Social scientists and conservation planners increasingly point to urban residents' need to breathe fresh air, encounter the natural world, and have room to play. It is less obvious, perhaps, whether nature needs cities in order to thrive. The evidence from both urban planning and conservation planning is increasingly "yes." As changes in land use and land cover sweep the planet, cities are becoming important refugia for certain wildlife populations. In recent years, urban planning has embraced the concept of "green infrastructure" as a way to embed green space across metropolitan landscapes to draw on the inherent benefits nature provides to cities, as well as to create habitat for wildlife. We explore this evolving view of cities and nature in the fields of urban and conservation planning. We argue the time is ripe to bring these worlds together, and, using our empirical work, establish that cities matter for monarch butterflies, other pollinators, and at-risk wildlife species.

“…This desire provides the grounds for the use of extraordinary capacities that are the result of combining the capabilities of the geographic information system with innovations in the field of information and communication technology and new approaches based on electronic and online participation [17]. A notable example in 2017 was the initiative in Chicago, Illinois, USA, a joint project led by the Field Museum, the Chicago Park District, and several community-based organizations with funding from the City of Chicago and co-sponsors such as Boeing Company has been [18,19]. Just as planning precedes all functions, it is also preferred over the hierarchical levels of management, and it is also effective in raising related questions and consulting with the organization's employees.…”

Puporse. The title of air-space in the spatial part is not just a noun, but it is quite effective in determining its conditions. National Participant using new spatial information system including software, hardware in synchronous and asynchronous environments. Also, explaining the role of the National Collaborative Spatial Information System in the effectiveness of urban planning Methods. Introducing the national software in the process of participation along with the spatial information system. Statistical analysis along with interpretations based on statistics, especially Spearman's correlation. Also Using all the criteria and factors that have been used so far to participate with GIS in a spatial and non-spatial way. Results. There are short discussion related to the formation of the software, the formation of the environment and hardware and all the existing criteria, and then the evaluation process, proposed for the participation-oriented information system, continues. The methods are discussed and then the discussion related to the case study and evaluation of the usability of the participatory spatial information system and requirements engineering as a support tool for participatory planning in the municipality was discussed. In the end, statistical analysis along with interpretations based on statistics, especially Spearman's correlation, are discussed and demonstrated. The reason for the topic of decision-making is based on statistical analysis, not just comparing decision-making with analysis, because sudden decisions like early humans are usually made in natural events and away from dangers and the like. This issue has not been seen in any dispute so far. In the following, we realized that the time factor and then being on time are the most important factors along with the economic criterion. Although planners were expected to be decisive, the results showed otherwise. In practice, it was proved that the basis of software, mathematical and statistical analysis decisions of the groups is the reason for the rise of the economic standard, along with the time factors, which are very necessary in improving the participation with GIS. The role of the power and wealth layer is still colorful and unlike the priorities, the fastest and most dominant decisions are made by this. in this study Time is a decisive factor. Conclusions. Based on the results obtained and due to the misleading nature of the time issue, it cannot be managed, and people should not worry about time management, because they lose their focus. Therefore, they should manage their concentration and be focused in the moment. It is only in this way that one can use the time effectively and continue the desired activity. Finally, by programming and creating collaborative decision-making in asynchronous and synchronous environments, NPGIS is introduced in an organizational form.

“…These data also suggest that some residents avoid the BWC due to fears associated with crossing gang boundaries or gang‐related violence, and concerns related to racial segregation that trace back to the Chicago race riots of 1919 which began after a violent incident on the south lakefront (Coit, ; Doreski, ). Drawing on this prior ethnographic research and connections through social networks, the Field Museum convened partners from the communities of Pilsen and Little Village with a predominance of Latin American residents and the neighborhood of Bronzeville with a predominance of African‐American residents to build a framework for the codesign and stewardship of the BWC landscape (Campbell, ).…”

Nature conservation and social equity issues have been approached in a myriad of ways by conservation, humanitarian, and development practitioners. The rapid and shifting urbanization of the globe makes the interaction of these issues paramount and it is imperative to articulate pathways to harmonizing these relationships readily followed by conservation practitioners. We describe the processes and compare the resulting social equity and conservation objectives of two initiatives purposefully integrating these approaches. A private nonprofit seeking to develop an urban conservation program in the Atlanta metropolitan area purposefully engaged residents from surrounding communities and self-identified local and sector leaders to identify communities where social equity and conservation objectives could be created together. A public agency, built on a century-long history of environmental stewardship for migratory birds and pollinators, integrated 20 years of participatory action research to engage the surrounding communities using methods suggested and developed by the communities themselves. In both cases, community-based research approaches have helped establish cocreated objectives and flexible monitoring and evaluation baselines. Both initiatives found a need to appropriately resource and train staff to remain open to learning and evolving new objectives as additional perspectives emerge and the impact on conservation and equity objectives is assessed.
