Low impact development (LID) has been adopted for several decades to reduce urban pluvial flooding and cope with urban climate change. However, LID has not been widely used due to the lack of sustainable funding. In this article, a discrete choice experiment method was used to understand public preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for the functions of LID facilities. Four attributes were selected, and after that, 958 and 646 valid questionnaires were collected in the pilot sponge cities of Zhengzhou and Hebi, respectively. The results showed that respondents showed a significant WTP for LID facilities, with a desire to support rainwater drainage, recreation and entertainment, and the landscape environment. Experience of flooding had a significant effect on Zhengzhou respondents, but not on Hebi respondents. We have concluded that rainwater drainage should still be considered the most important function of LID facilities. At the same time, educational level and flood experiences may not affect the public's WTP. This article can provide a reference for cities that would like to implement LID and create a stormwater fee system to adapt to global change.","PeriodicalId":502858,"journal":{"name":"Blue-Green Systems","volume":"337 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nature-based solutions (NBSs) seem to be a suitable response, integrating the hydrology, geomorphology, hydraulic, and ecological dynamics. While there are some methods and tools for suitability mapping of small-scale NBSs, literature concerning the spatial allocation of large-scale NBSs is still lacking. The present work aims to develop new toolboxes and enhance an existing methodology by developing spatial analysis tools within a geographic information system (GIS) environment to allocate large-scale NBSs based on a multi-criteria algorithm. The methodologies combine machine learning spatial data processing techniques and hydrodynamic modelling for allocation of large-scale NBSs. The case studies concern selected areas in the Netherlands, Serbia, and Bolivia, focusing on three large-scale NBS: rainwater harvesting, wetland restoration, and natural riverbank stabilisation. Information available from the EC H2020 RECONECT project as well as other available data for the specific study areas was used. The research highlights the significance of incorporating machine learning, GIS, and remote sensing techniques for the suitable allocation of large-scale NBSs. The findings may offer new insights for decision-makers and other stakeholders involved in future sustainable environmental planning and climate change adaptation.","PeriodicalId":502858,"journal":{"name":"Blue-Green Systems","volume":"BME-33 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139271708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
