Urban heatscapes and environmental injustice
Research on environmental justice in urban green space (UGS) access and urban heat exposure has expanded since the 2010s, yet these issues remain weakly integrated with governance and policy analysis. This scoping review uses the concept of urban heatscapes, socio-ecological configurations in which environmental knowledge, planning decisions, and power relations co-produce unequal thermal environments, to synthesize structural, institutional, spa…
Five-Step Forest Bathing Protocol as a Nature-Based Solution for Student Wellbeing in Higher Education
Background . Students often face high levels of mental distress, which can adversely affect their academic performance and overall wellbeing. While forest bathing, as a nature-based solution (NBS), has recognized benefits for mental wellbeing, its specific impact on undergraduate students remains understudied. Purpose . This research brief aims to present the insights and lessons learned from a pilot study utilizing a five-step forest bathing pro…
Identifying Priority Areas for Planning Urban Green Infrastructure
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) plays a key role in fostering sustainability, resilience, and ecological balance in cities. However, the task of identifying priority areas for UGI implementation remains complex due to the multifactorial nature of urban systems and prevailing uncertainties. This study proposes a fuzzy inference system (FIS)-based framework composed of seven interconnected modules designed to assess diverse criteria, including flo…
Recognizing Patterns of Nature Contact Associated with Well-Being
Statement of Problem : Progressive urbanization has reduced human interactions with nature, raising concerns about its impact on mental well-being. Previous research has often focused on specific aspects of nature contact, neglecting its multifaceted dimensions and their effects on mental health, particularly in developing countries. Research Gap : There is a scarcity of studies exploring the comprehensive dimensions of nature contact, such as fr…
Is Having Urban Green Space in the Neighborhood Enough to Make a Difference? Insights for Healthier City Design
Background : Prior research indicates that engagement with nature is associated with mental well-being; however, the impact of accessibility to urban green spaces (UGS) with suitable infrastructure for visitation and physical activities, like leisure or recreation, remains underexplored, particularly in developing countries. Purpose : This study delves into whether merely having green space in the neighborhood is sufficient to impact residents' m…
Understanding How Green Space Naturalness Impacts Public Well-Being
Statement of problem : Urbanization has brought significant advancements in human well-being; however, it poses challenges to urban green spaces (UGSs), affecting environmental quality and public health. Research gap : Previous studies have established the importance of UGSs for urban well-being but have not sufficiently explored how the naturalness of these spaces-ranging from untouched natural areas to human-designed landscapes-affects mental h…
Community Engagement in the Management of Urban Green Spaces
Urban green spaces (UGSs) play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life in cities, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions such as the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (MRSP). However, significant challenges related to equitable management and access persist, often exacerbated by socio-environmental inequalities. While much of the existing literature on UGS management focuses on developed economies, there is a gap in our understanding of …
Environmental Racism in the Accessibility of Urban Green Space
Urban Green Spaces (UGS) are integral to advancing urban sustainability and improving the quality of life in cities. However, in rapidly urbanizing regions like the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (MRSP), significant environmental injustices in UGS accessibility present a complex challenge that requires in-depth understanding. Notably, existing studies predominantly focus on developed countries, leaving a gap in research concerning emerging economi…
Which dimensions of nature contact in Urban Green Spaces most significantly contribute to mental wellbeing? A multidimensional analysis in Brazilian metropolitan cities
Fuzzy-based computational intelligence to support screening decision in environmental impact assessment
Touch-and-go as an inclusive education strategy in case of visual impairment
The perceptual strength in learning styles refers to obtain knowledge most easily by different sensory systems. Discovering the perceptive strengths and weaknesses of each student and finding ways to optimize their learning is always a challenge for the professor. In extreme cases such as in the visual impairment touch-and-go approaches can be an alternative. This paper aims at sharing the usage of tactual resources as a learning strategy in a ca…
Desenvolvimento da percepção ambiental de alunos de pós-graduação em Ciências Ambientais da Unesp Sorocaba por meio da abordagem construtivista de ensino
Da complexidade ambiental emerge a necessidade de abordagens multidisciplinares e sistêmicas nos programas de pós-graduação correlatos contrárias a estruturas pedagógicas disciplinares. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a percepção ambiental de estudantes de pós-graduação em Ciências Ambientais da Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), campus Sorocaba, inseridos em uma experiência pedagógica construtivista desenvolvida em duas discip…
Sistema de apoio à avaliação de impactos da poluição sonora sobre a saúde pública
O objetivo do trabalho foi desenvolver um sistema de apoio à avaliação da poluição sonora, aplicado na zona central de Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brasil. Para isso, dados foram obtidos por meio de medições sonoras e entrevistas com a população, gerando como indicadores o nível sonoro equivalente (Leq ), o índice de ruído de tráfego (LTNI ) e um diagnóstico participativo (Dp ), integrados por intermédio de um sistema de inferência fuzzy (SIF). Como res…
Abordagem construtivista integrando o ensino, a pesquisa e a aplicação à realidade
A integração entre o ensino e a pesquisa e a posterior divulgação dos resultados junto à sociedade, no contexto da pós-graduação, são um desafio que emerge do desenvolvimento de abordagens pedagógicas de caráter interdisciplinar. O objetivo deste trabalho é o de apresentar uma experiência pedagógica construtivista desenvolvida a partir de estudos de caso, envolvendo disciplinas do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais da Unesp, em Soro…
