“…Moreover, applying landscape-ecology principles to green structure planning also conforms to two patterns: nature in city and city in nature patterns (Bryant, 2006;Miller et al, 1998). Frischenbruder and Pellegrino (2006) in their study of eight Brazilian cities reported that the green network can create a meaningful contribution to more livable cities by bringing together planning and ecology. They associate people with nature and bridge the gap between human needs and natural processes in rapidly urbanizing regions in the developing world.…”

“…However, successful urban green space planning processes cannot dismiss citizen participation to avoid a failure of social and environmental functions that form a context for economic activities (Balram, Dragićević 2005). In this context, municipal planners, designers, and researchers are starting to recognize this need (Kühn 2003;Chiesura 2004;Frischenbruder, Pellegrino 2006;Janse, Konijnendijk 2007;Greene et al 2011). …”

The Red Palm Weevil (RPW), after its accidental introduction in Italy in 2005, determined a progressive disruption of Canary palms mostly in the central and southern regions. As it is difficult to undertake the management of this pest, the possibility of substituting the killed/symptomatic palms with other ornamental trees has been recently discussed. In this context, understanding the citizens' needs about green areas can improve the management of public parks and urban greening. Involving citizens on the natural resource management using public participation processes is crucial. The case study of a small town of Sicily (Italy) was treated and the spread of this pest was monitored. Moreover, the possibility of substituting the killed palms with other ornamentals was discussed by involving a sample of the population through a direct survey aimed at detecting the preferences in respect to certain tree species (as potential substitutes of the killed palms) listed in a questionnaire administered face-to-face. The citizen's samples showed great interest in the green areas (97%) and indicated a traditional Mediterranean plant as Nerium oleander as the preferred palm substitute candidate.

“…Five key words show the basic characteristics of corridors in the scope of "relating to planned, designed and ecological, cultural, aesthetical and sustainable space use concepts, and space networks which are managed for multipurpose, comprising linear elements" of greenways (Frischenbruder and Pellegrino, 2006).…”
