“…Further behavior-related issues are assessed through the short scale for the assessment of locus of control [ 43 ]. To shed light on leisure time behavior and activities, a PGIS mapping component is used to identify the participant’s most visited GSs, which serves to contribute to a better understanding of the properties of the GSs [ 49 ]. Participants are asked to locate a point in their most visited GSs used for recreation.…”

Urban areas are continuously growing, and densification is a frequent strategy to limit urban expansion. This generally entails a loss of green spaces (GSs) and an increase in noise pollution, which has negative effects on health. Within the research project RESTORE (Restorative potential of green spaces in noise-polluted environments), an extended cross-sectional field study in the city of Zurich, Switzerland, is conducted. The aim is to assess the relationship between noise annoyance and stress (self-perceived and physiological) as well as their association with road traffic noise and GSs. A representative stratified sample of participants from more than 5000 inhabitants will be contacted to complete an online survey. In addition to the self-reported stress identified by the questionnaire, hair cortisol and cortisone probes from a subsample of participants will be obtained to determine physiological stress. Participants are selected according to their dwelling location using a spatial analysis to determine exposure to different road traffic noise levels and access to GSs. Further, characteristics of individuals as well as acoustical and non-acoustical attributes of GSs are accounted for. This paper presents the study protocol and reports the first results of a pilot study to test the feasibility of the protocol.

“…Another potentially powerful tool for incorporating TEK in land management Participatory Geographic Information Systems (PGIS), which is a form of participatory planning using maps. The use of maps to guide discussions provide a bridge among different knowledge systems (Puri and Sahay, 2003;Robbins, 2003;Sandström et al, 2003;McCall and Minang, 2005;Puri, 2007;Laumonier et al, 2008;Torres-Meza et al, 2009;Cullen-Unsworth et al, 2012;Hoverman and Ayre, 2012;McCallum and Carr, 2012;Cullen, 2015;Gadamus and Raymond-Yakoubian, 2015;McGetrick et al, 2015;Lynch et al, 2017;Albuquerque et al, 2019;Peart, 2019;Cho and Mutanga, 2021;Shaw et al, 2021). Other emergent methodologies, such as art-based ecological projects (Höivik and Luger, 2009;Foley, 2017), ecosystem accounting (Normyle et al, 2022), online collaborative tools (Pert et al, 2015), and other technologies (Touchette et al, 2021), could further support TEK-integration into land management.…”

Integrating traditional ecological knowledge into US public land management: Knowledge gaps and research priorities

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is an understanding of natural systems acquired through long-term human interactions with particular landscapes. Traditional knowledge systems complement western scientific disciplines by providing a holistic assessment of ecosystem dynamics and extending the time horizon of ecological observations. Integration of TEK into land management is a key priority of numerous groups, including the United Nations and US public land management agencies; however, TEK principles have rarely been enshrined in national-level US policy or planning. We review over 20 years of TEK literature to describe key applications of TEK to ecological understanding, conservation, restoration and land management generally. By identifying knowledge gaps, we highlight research avenues to support the integration of TEK into US public land management, in order to enhance conservation approaches and participation of historically underrepresented groups, particularly American Indian Tribes, in the stewardship of ancestral lands critical to the practice of living cultural traditions.
