Scales and Narratives of Urban Agriculture in South Korea
Background and objective: The scales of urban agriculture need to be assessed and rescaled to implement or achieve its multidimensional functions and values in South Korea. Significant scales and narratives were assessed and rescaled with narratives described in the laws and literatures.Methods: Narratives created from 1980 to 2022 were collected. The definition of urban agriculture, the difference between farmers and urban farmers, and the spati…
An Inference of Plot Design Method Applied to Pavilions in the Rear Garden of Changdeokgung Palace as World Cultural Heritage
Background and objective: It is necessary to study traditional plot design methods or manners that the engineers in Joseon Dynasty were inferred to have conventionally applied to garden spaces or buildings. This study aimed to infer a conventional plot design method practiced by the engineers who created pavilions in Joseon Dynasty.Methods: The four pavilions were selected, whose original design drawings or documents are still unavailable to reve…
Street Tree Management Strategies for Different Special-Purpose Areas
Background and objective: This study investigated the occurrence characteristics of street tree management factors based on different special-purpose areas with emphasis on citizen participation in data collection.Methods: We collected growth and management data of street tree sections and individual trees within sections using a monitoring form developed for street trees in four special-purpose areas in the urban area of Chuncheon. We used a bin…
Cooling Effect of Urban Blue and Green Spaces
The cooling effects of blue-green spaces on the urban heat island effect are complex and different. The purpose of this study is to simulate how the cooling effect of blue-green space changes with its size and shape. The cooling effects of 53 green patches and 28 water bodies in Changsha were extracted based on Landsat images. A surface fitting model was used to quantitatively reveal the relationship between the cooling effect of blue-green space…
Users’ Recognition and Satisfaction of Trails and Exercise Facilities in Urban Mountainous Forests
Background and objective: This study was conducted to analyze users’ behavior, recognition, and satisfaction toward forest trails and exercise facilities in urban mountainous forests, Jinju City, South Korea.Methods: Users’ characteristics, visit motives, and satisfaction with forest trails and exercise facilities in three urban mountainous forests were surveyed from September to October 2020. The data of 300 respondents were analyzed using frequ…
Spatial assessment of land degradation using Medalus focusing on potential afforestation and reforestation areas in Ethiopia
Ethiopia currently faces severe land degradation and desertification and has attracted increasing attention for international restoration projects. However, selecting appropriate potential afforestation and reforestation areas is challenging because of limited geospatial assessment tools on a national scale. Therefore, the globally used MEDALUS approach was applied to identify areas sensitive to land degradation and desertification, and indices w…
