Beyond the 3-30-300 Rule: Construction of a Scalable Composite Index for the Evaluation of Urban Green—The Ferrara Case Study
The 3-30-300 rule, proposed by Cecil Konijnendijk, is oriented towards the design of greener cities. However, subsequent literature has revealed some application limits due to overly simple definitions (visibility of 3 trees), fixed thresholds (30% tree cover) and theoretical distances (300 m to the park) that do not consider ecological quality, real green area proximity and possible socio-demographic differences. The present research attempts to…
Developing a Methodology for Assessing Visual and Environmental Sensitivity for Agrivoltaics Land Suitability Projects: The Case Study of Viterbo Province (Italy)
The transition to renewable energy is crucial for combating climate change but faces challenges like local socio-environmental impacts and territorial conflicts. Scientific research on mapping renewable energy suitability areas and identifying socio-culturally and environmentally sensitive zones is essential to guide project siting appropriately. This study proposes a replicable methodology to analyze scenarios and compare alternatives for agrivo…
Mapping urban heat islands in Padua (Italy): Perspectives and trends of climate extremes in a changing climate
The Mediterranean Basin is widely recognized as a significant hotspot for the impacts of climate change. Extreme meteorological events, such as heatwaves, exacerbate the phenomenon of urban heat islands (UHI), dramatically increasing climate risks, particularly in high-density urban areas. The combined effects of heatwaves and UHI are negatively impacting urban infrastructure and public health in numerous metropolitan regions.This study aims to i…
Climate justice in future cities: Geographical perspectives for inclusive urban resilience and adaptation
Cities and urban areas will be even more affected than other areas by the local impacts of climate change.The increase in intensity and frequency of extreme meteorological events, such as heat waves, droughts, intense rainfall, and floods, highlight the urgent need for urban systems to more actively tackle the threats of climate change to safeguard economic, environmental, and social resources (IPCC, 2022).Indeed, as home to more than 70 % of the…
Climate Change, Forest Fires, and Territorial Dynamics in the Amazon Rainforest: An Integrated Analysis for Mitigation Strategies
Recent times have witnessed wildfires causing harm to both ecological communities and urban–rural regions, underscoring the necessity to comprehend wildfire triggers and assess measures for mitigation. This research hones in on Cartagena del Chairá, diving into the interplay between meteorological conditions and land cover/use that cultivates a conducive environment for wildfires. Meteorologically, the prevalence of wildfires is concentrated duri…
Mapping urban heat islands and heat-related risk during heat waves from a climate justice perspective: A case study in the municipality of Padua (Italy) for inclusive adaptation policies
Climate change has led to a dramatic increase in extreme events worldwide. Predictions for a + 1.5 °C world indicate that 13.8% of the global population will be exposed to heat waves (HWs), a proportion rising to 36.9% in a + 2 °C scenario. At present, about 9.6 M people in the EU and UK are exposed to extreme heat every year. Overheating has various impacts on cities, including urban infrastructure failures and changes in ecological processes. H…
Climate Justice in the City: Mapping Heat-Related Risk for Climate Change Mitigation of the Urban and Peri-Urban Area of Padua (Italy)
The mitigation of urban heat islands (UHIs) is crucial for promoting the sustainable development of urban areas. Geographic information systems (GISs) together with satellite-derived data are powerful tools for investigating the spatiotemporal distribution of UHIs. Depending on the availability of data and the geographic scale of the analysis, different methodologies can be adopted. Here, we show a complete open source GIS-based methodology based…
Pesticide contamination of freshwater ecosystems: Mapping vulnerable areas and mitigation scenarios in the Prosecco Docg wine production area
Freshwater ecosystems are the most vulnerable environments worldwide and the most biodiverse, providing essential ecosystem services. The role of land management in agriculture is paramount with the dramatic increase in pesticides: two million tonnes used worldwide (47.5% herbicides, 29.5% insecticides, and 17.5% fungicides) are jeopardising freshwater ecosystems. Concerns about the risk of pesticide contamination from viticulture have led to imp…
Where to leave fossil fuels underground? A multi-criteria analysis to identify unburnable carbon areas in the Ecuadorian Amazon region
Despite the ongoing impacts of climate change around the world, fossil fuels continue to drive the global economy. The socio-environmental impacts of oil development at the local level are widely recognized, especially in high biocultural diversity areas, highlighting the need to develop and implement effective policies that protect both biodiversity and human rights. In consideration of the estimated remaining carbon budget to limit global warmi…
Whose Urban Green? Mapping and Classifying Public and Private Green Spaces in Padua for Spatial Planning Policies
The rising environmental issues on contemporary cities urgently calls for sustainable planning policies. Implementation of nature-based solutions, ecosystem services, and green infrastructures associated to green spaces management is at present of paramount importance. In contrast to policies mainly focused on public greenery, the inclusion of private green in planning strategies might be a promising pathway. The general aim is mapping and classi…
Extreme citizens science for climate justice: Linking pixel to people for mapping gas flaring in Amazon rainforest
In the Ecuadorian Amazon—one of Earth’s last high-biodiversity wilderness areas and home to uncontacted indigenous populations—50 years of widespread oil development is jeopardizing biodiversity and feeding environmental conflicts. In 2019, a campaign to eliminate oil-related gas flaring, led by Amazonian communities impacted by fossil fuel production, resulted in an injunction against the Ecuadoran Ministry of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Re…
Mapping and Monitoring Urban Environment through Sentinel-1 SAR Data: A Case Study in the Veneto Region (Italy)
Focusing on a sustainable and strategic urban development, local governments and public administrations, such as the Veneto Region in Italy, are increasingly addressing their urban and territorial planning to meet national and European policies, along with the principles and goals of the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development. In this regard, we aim at testing a methodology based on a semi-automatic approach able to extract the spatial exten…
Future of oil and gas development in the western Amazon
The western Amazon is one of the world's last high-biodiversity wilderness areas, characterized by extraordinary species richness and large tracts of roadless humid tropical forest. It is also home to an active hydrocarbon (oil and gas) sector, characterized by operations in extremely remote areas that require new access routes. Here, we present the first integrated analysis of the hydrocarbon sector and its associated road-building in the wester…
