“…V13-age/development stage-the preferred age and vitality categories of woody plants are (5) old, (4) mature, and (3) stabilised adolescent individuals. The other age categories of (2) growing and (1) new plantings fulfil roadside woody vegetation functions to a lower extent [33,61].…”

“…Population growth causes significant pressures on rural landscapes Land 2024, 13, 272 2 of 27 through the diversification of living and housing needs. An uncoordinated mass urbanisation, neglecting the aesthetic and natural values of the countryside, as well as historical heritage and legacy, can lead to significant irreversible damages to the landscape [5]. Urban expansion, the excessive use of natural resources, intensive agricultural practices, industrial infrastructure, and land uptake contribute to the degradation and gradual loss of the local identity of rural landscapes [6].…”

Woody plants in roadside green spaces of rural settlements provide a wide range of ecosystem functions and services. The study presented in this paper was conducted in three rural settlements in Western Slovakia, representing three different rural landscape types—lowland, basin, and mountainous landscapes. The assessed woody vegetation is situated in diverse settlement structures, with various spatial patterns. A comprehensive woody plant assessment was conducted in selected central streetscapes of three model settlements, examining spatial, compositional, visual, aesthetic, and other values, as well as the characteristics of woody plants. These attributes were clustered according to five main functions and fourteen value parameters and the results were assigned to three quality categories, to objectivise a qualitative woody plant assessment in roadside vegetation structures in the countryside. The findings show the level of suitability of woody plants based on how they fulfil aesthetic, compositional, climate, safety, cultural, and historical functions.

“…This research gap is particularly evident in referral to the African and Asian continents, except for the article authored by Yan et al [57]. Our recommendation is to incentivize the conduction of research studies in regions experiencing rapid urban sprawl [84][85][86][87][88], to assess both similarities and differences, as well as potential emergencies.…”

Urban sprawl is the development of sparse suburban areas with low population density, limited land use diversity, and poor street connectivity. Numerous studies demonstrated that urban form settings influence indoor and outdoor environments and, consequently, public health in diverse ways. This review aims to assess the association between sprawl and each health outcome evaluated in the literature to better define urban sprawl and its effects on human health. Using the PRISMA statement, this narrative review evaluates the associations between urban sprawl and any health outcome analyzed by researchers seeking to assess a possible relationship. A total of 826 records were identified via PubMed/MEDLINE (227) and Scopus (599) and 36 studies were deemed suitable for inclusion: 21/36 studies (58%) focused on obesity as the primary health outcome, 4/36 (11%) on life expectancy and/or mortality, 7/36 (19%) on accidents or emergency medical service response, and 4/36 (11%) on the self-reported psychological distress and/or physical health conditions associated with urban sprawl. In most studies, there is a general lack of uniformity and urban sprawl is loosely defined, with urban sprawl definitions frequently corresponding to different combinations of items within sprawl indexes. Nonetheless, urban sprawl appeared to be a determinant of health in many of the examined outcomes; therefore, it is necessary to promote alternatives to sprawling patterns when developing urban settings.
