Sustainable recreational trail design from the recreational opportunity spectrum and trail user perception
Recreational trails represent corridors of benefits to human health and well-being, learning and education through an understanding of other cultures or countries, raising environmental awareness, local economic development, limiting the dispersion of the visitors, linking key attractions of a given area or diversifying tourism markets. However, trail development and design require to keep up sustainability principles and understand trail user pe…
Relevance of ecosystem services and disservices from green infrastructure perceived by the inhabitants of two Portuguese cities dealing with climate change
Green infrastructure provides ecosystem services (ESs) and disservices (EDSs), although EDSs are understudied. By considering both, this study contributes to the literature. The inhabitants’ perception of the importance of ESs/EDSs is assessed through a survey in two Portuguese cities facing extreme climatic events. “Heat reduction” and “contact with nature” are the most perceived ESs while “risk of fire” and “excessive water consumption” are the…
Urban agriculture in Brazil
Public policies implemented by the Brazilian government for the promotion of urban agriculture were examined. Urban agriculture contributes to combatting problems related to food security and environmental issues in cities. In Brazil, the Ministry of Social Development initiated the elaboration of a policy to support urban agriculture, having listened to different segments of society. Moreover, the Brazilian Senate intends to establish the Nation…
Perceptions and preferences of urban residents for green infrastructure to help cities adapt to climate change threats
Green infrastructure in cities is increasingly acknowledged as a way to contribute to tackling the challenges posed by climate change. However, studies analyzing urban inhabitants' attitudes towards green infrastructure when dealing with climate change effects are still scarce. Using as case studies two Portuguese cities of different sizes and socio-cultural and geographic contexts, this work analyzes inhabitants' awareness of climate change, the…
The economic impact of recreational trails
Recreational trails are a type of nature-based tourism providing various activities such as hiking, biking, rafting or horseback riding. Increasing investment in infrastructure and touristic services development has resulted in higher visitor expenditure and thus contributed to economic development. This study aims to review the current economic impact assessment studies on recreational trail tourism and to extract the main economic impact determ…
Assessing the income multiplier of trail‐related tourism in a coastal area of Portugal
Rising demand for access to trail networks has encouraged local governments to invest in trail development. This study is the first attempt to estimate the local income multiplier effect of recreational trail tourism, applying an Ad hoc model. The most popular recreational trail in the Algarve region of Portugal was used as a study case to verify the relevance of the Ad hoc model application. The result acknowledges a significant trail‐related co…
Understanding attitudes towards the adoption of nature-based solutions and policy priorities shaped by stakeholders’ awareness of climate change
Climate change is affecting cities worldwide. Accordingly, cities are required to find sustainable solutions to tackle climate change’s effects, designing bottom-up policies to enhance their success. The involvement of stakeholders plays a central role in the definition of appropriate policies to tackle the challenges posed to cities by climate change. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly proposed to adapt to and mitigate the adverse eff…
Stakeholders’ Engagement on Nature-Based Solutions
Cities are facing a broad range of social and environmental challenges due to the current pressure of global urbanization. Nature-based solutions aim to utilize green infrastructure to improve people’s health and wellbeing. The design of urban environments must embrace the individual ideals of citizens and stakeholders which can only be achieved if effective methods of communication, involvement, and feedback are ensured. Such a procedure creates…

Exploring residential satisfaction in shrinking cities
The number of cities experiencing population decline has been increasing worldwide. Despite the existence of theoretical propositions of shrinkage as an opportunity to increase levels of residential satisfaction, the issue has not been addressed empirically. This article contributes to fill this gap by assessing, through survey, the residential satisfaction of inhabitants of four shrinking Portuguese cities.Data were analysed by means of a tree-d…
Simulating the impacts of future land use change on soil erosion in the Kasilian watershed, Iran
Historical trajectories of currently shrinking Portuguese cities
Residents’ preferred policy actions for shrinking cities
Cities facing a continued and prolonged process of population decline require innovative urban regeneration policies complementary to growth-oriented policies. Losing inhabitants involves a decrease in economic activity and social capital. Therefore citizens’ participation in defining policies to cope with population decline is being increasingly advocated. This research focused on four shrinking cities of Portugal to capture residents’ knowledge…
Influences on citizens’ policy preferences for shrinking cities
Population decline in cities ('shrinking cities') is an increasing international phenomenon. The purpose of this study was to determine citizens' policy preferences for tackling shrinkage and to ascertain whether different causes of shrinkage lead to different preferences, on the basis of which we identify viable urban regeneration strategies to implement in Portugal's shrinking cities. This information was obtained by a face-to-face questionnair…
The Coexistence of Humans and Companion Animals in the City Parks of Xanthi
Companion animals are very important to people of big cities. In Greece the families which own those animals take them for a walk in the parks and streets of their town but not always with care to not disturb other citizens. Laws and regulations for companion and stray animals are not respected in Greece, although as a result of the Athens Olympics in 2004 the Greek government started to provide funds for the collection, care, and sterilization o…
