Abstract

ABSTRACT Cultural ecosystem services (CESs), despite providing multiple non-material benefits associated with human well-being, have been overlooked in urban planning. Using as a pilot study the municipality of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, we map and evaluate the inclusion of CESs into land use policy to better inform urban planning. We tested a framework for: (1) assessing the preferences of local inhabitants for CESs and landscape features; (2) evaluating land use policies; and (3) mapping CES hotspots in the city. We found sense of place and recreation to be the main CESs associated with parks, squares and cultural centres. No land use policy explicitly mentioned CESs, while the zoning plans do not reflect bundles of spatial non-material values and landscape features. This pilot study can play a vital role in developing more comprehensive insights to bridge urban planning and landscape preferences to help guiding land use policy review towards sustainable urbanisation.

绘制文化生态系统服务(CESs)和主要城市景观特征:土地利用政策和规划审查的试点研究

文化生态系统服务(CESs)尽管提供了与人类福祉相关的多种非物质利益，但在城市规划中却被忽视了。作为一项试点研究，我们在巴西贝洛奥里藏特市绘制并评估了将CESs纳入土地使用政策的情况，以更好地为城市规划提供信息。我们测试了一个框架:(1)评估当地居民对CESs和景观特征的偏好;(2)土地利用政策评价;(3)绘制城市CES热点分布图。我们发现场所感和娱乐是与公园、广场和文化中心相关的主要CESs。没有土地利用政策明确提到CESs，而分区规划也没有反映出空间非物质价值和景观特征的捆绑。这项试点研究可以发挥至关重要的作用，在城市规划和景观偏好之间建立更全面的见解，帮助指导土地利用政策审查，实现可持续城市化。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development aims to provide a forum for cutting-edge research and rigorous debate for an in-depth and holistic understanding of the complex inter-related environmental, social, economic, political, spatial, institutional and physical challenges facing urban areas. Its premise is that multi-disciplinary approaches provide the space for the range of disciplines and perspectives related to the full breadth of issues that affect urban sustainable development.
