  • Understanding value diversity in Finnish urban green spaces through Ipbes life frames

    Open AccessArpa Aishwarya, Nora Fagerholm et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2026

    Cities globally are increasingly adopting nature-based solutions (NBS) to address climate change, mitigate biodiversity loss and enhance the quality of their living environments. However, urban green spaces (UGSs) hold different values for different groups and understanding this plurality is essential for planning that better supports local needs. Drawing on the IPBES Life Framework of Values – Living from, in, with and as nature – we explore the…

  • Eudaimonic well-being in relation to urban nature

    Open AccessJoha Järekari, Salla Eilola et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2026

    Urban nature is increasingly recognized as essential for mental well-being. This study examines eudaimonic well-being – value-based, deeper well-being – by exploring how nature supports self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose in life, personal growth, good social relations, and environmental mastery among users of preventive psychosocial services provided by mental health associations. A creative writing method was developed to capture personal, well-…

  • Nature facilitates eudaimonic well‐being through promoting connection with self and others

    Open AccessJoha Järekari, Nora Fagerholm et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Urban nature is an important source of cultural ecosystem services (CES), providing well‐being benefits. Currently, well‐being is often conceptualized too narrowly to capture the more intangible benefits of urban nature. The concept of eudaimonic well‐being takes a long‐term, value‐based approach to the well‐being effects of the human–nature connection. There is a recognized need to study the deep, qualitative benefits of CES, as well as to under…

  • D Geovisualizations and Participatory Land-Use Planning – Planners’ Perspectives from Finland

    Open AccessHannu Linkola, Nora Fagerholm et al.ARTICLEPlanning Theory & Practice2025References: 5

    Our article discusses the use of 3D geovisualizations in participatory planning in Finnish municipalities. The data from a survey and interviews among the municipality-level planners is analyzed from the perspectives of three discursive spaces: representational, experiential, and institutional. Our study shows that 3D geovisualizations are regarded as attractive tools, but their usage is sporadic, and the benefits are mostly evaluated on the basi…

  • D visualisations for communicative urban and landscape planning

    Open AccessSalla Eilola, Kaisa Jaalama et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Public participation and collaboration supported by the opportunities that digital technologies offer are prolific themes in urban and landscape planning. In the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in the capacity of 3D visualisations to support citizen and stakeholder engagement in communicative planning processes. However, the technical advances of 3D visualisations still outstrip the current understanding of their benefits, app…

  • Lessons learned from participatory land use planning with high-resolution remote sensing images in Tanzania

    Open AccessSalla Eilola, Niina Käyhkö et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2021References: 46

    Participatory mapping (PM) solutions have become common in many sectors of society to enhance engagement of the local communities in planning processes. Especially in data scarce regions, like Africa, PM that captures local knowledge in spatially explicit form is an important tool for integrating previously non-existent spatial knowledge in to collaborative planning. Despite the increasing usage of PM solutions, there still lies a gap in our know…
