“…They explore what kinds of foods, where, what methods and how much food can be grown in cities, and to what extent cities might become self-reliant in food production, taking into account their climatic, environmental and spatial constraints. This part of the story comprises the most popular research subjects, particularly in the US and Canada (Grewal and Grewal, 2012;Badami and Ramankutty, 2015;Napawan and Burke, 2016). On the contrary, Sovová (2015) provides a small-scale evaluation of production potential at the gardening level in Europe.…”

“…Additionally, positioning attractive plants alongside the garden's pedestrian networks and around the main building supports alternative recreational programs beyond agricultural activities. Moreover, the productive landscape is divided from the pleasure landscape, an aspect that has been pointed out by previous researchers [43,106,107] as a basic guideline for designing food gardens, and this strategy has been applied in all case studies (Table 6).…”

Historic gardens have the ability to provide several ecosystem services in cities, including provisioning services (i.e., food production). The historic gardens in Iran (known as “Persian Gardens”) have never been considered as places that could be used for food production. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the Iranian historic gardens’ spatial and structural layout is suitable for modern urban food gardening. We conducted field studies in six recognized Persian gardens in four provinces of Iran via qualitative analysis according to socio-cultural guidelines drawn from a literature review. The results suggested that combining the elements of formal landscape design, non-edible decorative plants, and traditional artwork would increase the Persian gardens’ attractiveness. Regarding encouraging users to become involved in urban gardening, we found that separating productive units containing edible plants from public units using a central meeting spot populated by aesthetic plants and items may attract ordinary visitors who are interested in gardening without disturbing anyone’s activities. Furthermore, the Persian gardens’ multifunctionality, aesthetic value, and health-promoting qualities constitute a considerable historic achievement in garden design, making the gardens a suitable model for edible urban gardening. The results of this study can enhance our understanding of the Persian gardens’ spatial and structural design and provide practical implications for sustainable urban planning and landscape architecture.

“…According to Wackernagel et al (2006), productive landscape is the effort of cities and the inhabitants to manage their urban infrastructure towards the design of efficient and sustainable use of natural capital. Thus, the systems attached in the process of resource management present the particular opportunities to enhance the ecological aspect in urban areas by including the overlapping economic, social and environmental needs, which are lost due to the industrialization (Napawan and Burke, 2016). It is described that productive landscape is an urban space that provides food from urban agriculture, pollution absorption, the cooling effect of tress or increased biodiversity from wildlife (Kleszcz, 2018;McDougall et al, 2019).…”

This research seeks to identify the potential of local community to support the development of productive landscape in Yogyakarta City. It hypothesizes the important roles of ecological perception, aesthetical perception, economics perception of productive plant, social-cultural perception, the role of social organization and the status of house ownership that would assist productive landscape development. This paper contributes to the importance of productive landscape development through community participation. The road/street location was chosen with purposive sampling by considering the characteristics of the arterial roads and local streets. Five arterial roads and five local streets were determined as the locations. The field survey method, with semi-structured questionnaires, was employed to obtain the primary data. The residences in arterial roads and local streets were selected by the linear systematic random sampling and the respondents participating in this study were 160 persons. The results have shown that the perception of residents depends on the experiences of their situation. The majority of residents have disclosed the low response on economical perception of productive landscape development in the greenery. The development of productive landscape is influenced by the ecological, aesthetical and socio-cultural perceptions of the residents living nearby the arterial roads. Meanwhile, the residents of local streets have a different perception of productive landscape development, which is influenced by ecological and aesthetical perceptions. The collaboration between government and community should be made to develop the efforts to grow and manage the vegetations along the roadsides of the city.
