However, there is limited research specifically addressing women's behavioral intentions towards participating in urban forest conservation for this purpose, despite the increasing recognition of the importance of gender-specific perspectives in climate change mitigation. Understanding women's intentions towards engaging in urban forest conservation is crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate climate change. This study aims to explore the influencing factors that shape women's intentions towards urban forest conservation as a measure to mitigate climate change. The extended theory of planned behavior serves as the theoretical framework, incorporating climate change awareness and perceived benefits of urban forests for climate change mitigation. A sample of 391 women participated in the study, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire. The results revealed that the original model accounted for 48 % of the variance in women's intentions towards urban forest conservation. By incorporating additional constructs into the extended model, the explanatory power increased to 66 %. Furthermore, the data analysis demonstrated that all variables in both the original and extended models significantly influenced women's intentions for urban forest conservation. In developed model the climate change awareness (ƛ= 0.366), perceived behavioral control (ƛ= 0.256), perceived benefits of urban forests (ƛ= 0.240), subjective norms (ƛ= 0.182), and attitude (ƛ= 0.145), had the most impact, respectively. These findings emphasize the importance of considering psychological factors in promoting women's active involvement in urban forest conservation for effective climate change mitigation. The study has important policy implications, as policymakers and practitioners should prioritize efforts to enhance climate change awareness among women and emphasize the perceived benefits of urban forests in addressing climate change. Further research is warranted to explore behavioral patterns and actual conservation practices among women in diverse cultural and social contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vertical structure comprising \"tree + shrub + soil\" is a common feature in urban green spaces. The Penman–Monteith and Shuttleworth–Wallace models estimate the evapotranspiration (ET) from trees and soil only, but they do not account for the contribution of shrubs, thereby leading to underestimation of the ecosystem ET. We developed a three-layer model of the vertical structure comprising \"tree + shrub + soil\" in urban green spaces and its impacts on ecosystem ET. The three-layer model was validated based on data measurements, showing that the root mean square errors of latent heat flux for tree, shrub, and soil were 31.0 W·m<sup>–2</sup>, 21.3 W·m<sup>–2</sup>, and 19.1 W·m<sup>–2</sup>, respectively. The uncertainty of parameters can significantly affect the model’s performance when estimating ET and its components. Sensitivity analysis showed that meteorological parameters, bulk stomatal resistance, and soil surface resistance played important roles in ET estimation using the three-layer model, and these sensitivity coefficients were also influenced by the meteorological conditions and vegetation canopy structure. The three-layer model enhances our understanding of ET in urban green spaces, aiding in their management and planning.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141279706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They interact with trees based on those experiences, as well as their own personal values, priorities, and identities. Whether those interactions with trees are active or passive (and whether or not they are conscious interactions), it is necessary to understand them in order to gain a more detailed picture of the urban forest. Qualitative research, and interviews specifically, are an important tool for developing this knowledge as they can uncover a deep understanding of an individual’s values, experiences and perspectives; build relationships between researchers, practitioners and community members; and support the inclusion of diverse and nontraditional perspectives in the pursuit of procedural and recognitional justice in urban forestry. In order to understand how and why interview methodology is being used to understand human-tree relationships in the built landscape, we employed PRISMA methodology, multiple screening phases, and NVivo qualitative coding software to identify and analyze 112 manuscripts that employed interviews in their study of human perspectives of, and interactions with, built-landscape urban trees. Findings show that interview methods are a relatively new introduction to urban forestry research, and that they have been primarily utilized to learn about: (1) Civilian perspectives/perceptions, sometimes with regard to diverse groups and those historically underrepresented in urban forestry; (2) Civilian participation/decision-making with regard to activities on their own property and volunteer activities in the community; (3) Urban forest manager and arborist perspectives and decision-making; and (4) Stakeholder collaboration – among government entities, NGOs, businesses and volunteers.

Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of green spaces for the social capital and health of residents, but the impacts of green space usage on health inequalities in the context of urban shrinkage have not been fully explored. In addition, residents who live in shrinking cities in northeastern China are more likely to suffer health problems due to their location in a severely cold region. Therefore, we selected 17 urban green spaces in Hegang, a typical shrinking city, as the research objects. We collected a total of 544 valid questionnaires through random distribution. These data were used to evaluate four green space usage characteristics of residents comprising transportation costs, usage frequency, usage duration, and participation in activities, as well as two social capital dimensions that are directly related to health comprising social networks and reciprocity and trust. We conducted correlation analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, and analysis of covariance to explore the impacts of green space usage on two categories of social capital for residents with different attributes and the consequences of health inequalities. The results showed that: (1) women, middle-aged and elderly people, and the low- and middle-income classes were less able to access social capital through the usage of green spaces; (2) the frequency of green space usage and intensity of participation in social activities were key dimensions that affected inequality; and (3) the usage of green spaces reinforced inequalities in the level of reciprocity and trust among residents. Based on our findings, we recommend that local governments in shrinking cities pay more attention to green spaces and squares in inner city areas to improve the accessibility and usability of these open spaces. Governments should focus on regenerating green spaces located near older neighborhoods to increase opportunities for residents to make new social connections and reduce inequalities in public services and health, especially for improving the social well-being of older populations with a lower socioeconomic status.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141243683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the perceived aesthetic value is shaped by both ecosystem features and observer characteristics. This study explores the relationships between these two influential factors, and perceptions across three Canadian urban greenspace types: natural vegetation remnants (forest stands, marshes and peatlands), city parks, and vacant lots. We administered an online photo-questionnaire, completed by 514 respondents, who assessed the beauty of 45 greenspaces on a five-point Likert scale. Respondents were university students and staff, members of the general public, and specialists in ecosystem services. They also answered questions on socio-demographic factors, pro-environmental attitudes, nature-related travel habits, and ecological knowledge. We calculated five variables from each greenspace photo: vegetation structural complexity, visual complexity, percentage of green pixels, percentage of canopy cover, and presence/absence of artificial structures. On average, natural vegetation remnants and city parks were preferred over vacant lots. Among natural remnants, forests were preferred over semi-open peatlands. Different ecosystem features were associated with perceived beauty across the three greenspace types. For natural remnants and city parks, visual complexity was positively related to appreciation scores, whereas for vacant lots, the presence of artificial structures was associated with lower appreciation scores. Respondents who self-identified as environmental defenders, had greater knowledge of flora, and travelled to observe fauna gave higher appreciation scores to vacant lots compared to other respondents. Younger respondents, and those who engaged in frequent nature-related travelling attributed higher scores to natural remnants. We conclude that aesthetic preferences for natural vegetation remnants, city parks, and vacant lots are influenced by a complex interplay of ecosystem features and observer characteristics. Understanding these intricate relationships can guide the management of vacant lots and promote more inclusive engagement with greenspaces, by considering the varying preferences of diverse segments of the population.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141291936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that the proportion mediated by BMI (0.40 %), physical activity (0.20 %), and air pollution exposure (PM1: 15.40 %; PM10: 14.10 %; PM2.5: 21.30 %) was small but significant, which might be modified by different regions and population subgroups. Vulnerable groups with lower socio-economic status and those in rural and lower-temperature areas were better able to benefit from GI. The findings of this review highlight indirect pathways linking GI and RH by reducing harm and building capacities. It also points to the importance of strengthening green spaces in areas populated by vulnerable groups and addressing the health risks posed by urbanization and climate change.
