Abstract

Ecosystem services (ES) researchers have recognized the important role of urban planning decisions in influencing the quantity and distribution of ES in cities. However, knowledge about ES among planners is still modest, and more research is needed about planners’ experiences with ES. For this qualitative study, interviews and focus groups were conducted with actors with roles in urban planning in three Canadian cities. The aim was to understand participants’ knowledge of ES and how they use it. These early adopters were creative, practical, and politically astute in using ES ideas, rhetoric, and tools to build the case for natural urban ecosystems. ES was used in multiple and intersecting ways for awareness-raising, to justify the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems, to provide direction to plans, and to support and supplement existing planning approaches. The strategic use of ES was notable. As a boundary object, ES helped to bridge perspectives and to integrate policies. The ability of ES to facilitate policy coordination is promising. Further research on the effectiveness of ES to improve urban policy is needed.

为保护城市自然建言献策:城市规划者如何使用生态系统服务科学的理念、修辞和工具
生态系统服务(ES)研究人员已经认识到城市规划决策在影响城市生态系统服务数量和分布方面的重要作用。然而,规划者对生态系统服务的了解还很有限,需要对规划者在生态系统服务方面的经验进行更多的研究。在这项定性研究中,我们对加拿大三个城市的城市规划参与者进行了访谈和焦点小组讨论。目的是了解参与者对 ES 的了解以及他们是如何使用 ES 的。这些早期采用者具有创造性、实用性和政治敏锐性,他们利用 ES 理念、修辞和工具为城市自然生态系统建言献策。在提高认识、证明保护和恢复自然生态系统的合理性、为规划提供方向以及支持和补充现有规划方法方面,ES 被以多种交叉的方式使用。环境系统的战略性使用值得注意。作为边界对象,ES 有助于沟通观点和整合政策。生态系统服务促进政策协调的能力令人期待。需要进一步研究 ES 在改进城市政策方面的有效性。
