Spatial and socio-geographical determinants of urban nature-based solutions (NBS) for climate resilience, biodiversity, and green space management
Although urban nature-based solutions (NBS) generally produce positive results compared to non-NBS interventions, translating these evidence-based approaches into site-specific and measurable applications within urban contexts remains challenging. Key questions remain regarding the optimal number, location, and spatial extent of NBS required to maximize their effectiveness. NBS must possess sufficient size and spatial distribution to support ecol…
Nature-based design and planning
Linkages between the concept of nature-based solutions and the notion of landscape
As the effects of Nature-based solutions (NBS) application are usually much broader than only the area under the project implementation, it is necessary to capture the impact on these actions of landscape as well as the influence of landscape type on the NBS effectiveness. The main aim of this study was to detect linkages between the operational of NBS and the landscape dimention, based on a systematic literature review. The results showed the ex…
Rural public places
The paper presents the outcome of research into the unique character of public places in rural areas and the importance of different types of places for the local community. A complex methodology was used, including expert research, interviews and surveys, on the basis of which seven qualities defining the vitality of a place and three features defining the meaning of a place were assessed. Research was conducted in four villages representative o…
Spatial indicators as a tool to support the decision-making process in relation to different goals of rural planning
Critical review of landscape-based surrogate measures of plant diversity
Landscape-based surrogate measures are commonly used to measure plant diversity, however, the difference between predicted diversity and field measures raises doubts about their effectiveness. A review of the literature was performed to address this (115 studies first evaluations, 61 second evaluations) to establish the types of surrogates used, their usefulness and factors affecting their prediction power. Three types of indicators were detected…
Spatial arrangements of tourist villages
In assessing the sustainability of tourism development and tourism impacts on rural communities, researchers have analyzed a variety of personal, social, and economic factors. Rarely, however, have they devoted attention to the spatial characteristics of rural tourism places. Yet spatial factors may be important for quality of life and positive relationships among local residents and tourists, as suggested by the theoretical perspectives of the '…
