Approximately 30% of residents reported disservices including animal disturbances, safety concerns, and health issues. Both social factors (age, education, gender, employment), usage patterns (visit frequency, duration), and ecological characteristics (plant diversity, landscape connectivity) significantly influenced CES perceptions. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating ecological properties with community characteristics to optimize habitat gardens’ efficacy in biodiversity conservation and CES delivery.

With our growing understanding of IGS comes the capacity and responsibility to think more critically about how these spaces should be more actively considered in land use decision making to improve social and environmental justice outcomes. The paper explores this concept, outlining three strategies to assist planners and managers make more informed decisions regarding IGS. The three strategies include the strategic hands-off approach, formalisation approach, and temporary use approach. No single approach is suitable in all circumstances, and the paper discusses the strengths and weakness of each. The strategic hands-off approach allows IGS to develop naturally with minimal intervention, making it suitable for sites with existing ecological or social value. The formalisation approach converts IGS into more formal green spaces – such as parks – capitalising on the potential of an IGS site, while possibly destroying any existing value in the process. The temporary use approach strikes a balance between these two methods, allowing and supporting some smaller scale installations while ensuring the most valuable existing site features are retained. Finally, I outline several key outstanding questions to guide future research in the field of IGS and green space planning. This paper guides decision-makers by discussing the advantages and limitations of each approach and suggests future research directions to enhance IGS planning and management in the urban environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54744,"journal":{"name":"Landscape and Urban Planning","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 105372"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143816303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 relationship between street color environments and residents' perceptions has rarely been explored in depth, and existing studies predominantly adopt qualitative approaches. To accurately and effectively assess the connection and impact between street landscape colors and residents' emotional perceptions, this paper introduces a quantitative research framework based on multi-source data: the Color Emotion Perception framework with K-Means, SegNet, and SVM (CEP-KASS). This framework innovatively integrates residents' perceptions with urban color characteristics, offering a new perspective and direction for urban color planning. This study focuses on the central districts of Tianjin, employing machine learning models to predict human perception of Baidu Street View Images (BSVI) and to extract color characteristics from these images. An analysis is then conducted on the relationship between street landscape colors and human emotional perceptions. The findings indicate that, in terms of color perception, the prevalence of blue and green is positively correlated with emotions of prosperity and vitality, while the prevalence of red and yellow is negatively correlated with feelings of safety. Regarding color attributes, bright colors lead to higher boredom perception scores in urban street spaces, while excessively low brightness reduces the attractiveness of these areas to residents. Brightness is inversely related to vitality perception scores, and modulating brightness inversely can enhance the vitality perception in urban outdoor spaces. The main contribution of this study lies in its analysis of the relationship between street colors and human perception from the perspective of color psychology. Additionally, the CEP-KASS framework facilitates comprehensive measurement and analysis of color and perception, which can be extended to research in other cities. The research findings provide valuable insights for planners, allowing them to consider the impact of color changes in decision-making to enhance residents' spatial perception and emotional experience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54744,"journal":{"name":"Landscape and Urban Planning","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 105359"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Naturalistic plantings are low-maintenance and are being used to provide multiple ecosystem services and amenity in cities worldwide. In hotter and drier climates, naturalistic plantings could take inspiration from natural shrubland communities to tolerate summer droughts and remain low maintenance. The Woody Meadow Project proposes using diverse plantings of small trees and shrubs maintained by coppicing (hard pruning every 2 years) to create dense canopies to suppress weeds and promote flowering. Therefore, Woody Meadow species should resprout vigorously after coppicing, but coppicing response remains poorly understood. Leveraging on research into resprouting after natural disturbances such as fire, we investigated whether plant traits, starch reserves, and habitat water availability influence resprouting success and vigour after coppicing. We evaluated 77 Australian woody species in a common garden experiment and related coppicing response to pre-coppiced traits and storage reserves and their habitat water availability based on species occurrences (Atlas of Living Australia) and their climates (WorldClim). Most (88 %) species resprouted after coppicing, suggesting that most Australian woody species are suitable for Woody Meadows. However, we could not predict resprouting success after coppicing with pre-coppiced traits and habitat water availability. Nonetheless, greater species diversity could minimise impacts of poorer resprouters on planting success. Greater resprouting vigour was observed for species with greater pre-coppiced basal area, height, total biomass, and starch pool (i.e., greater pre-coppiced plant size), indicating that larger-sized plant species will maintain weed suppression and visual appeal in Woody Meadows after coppicing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54744,"journal":{"name":"Landscape and Urban Planning","volume":"259 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143799455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social network mapping of resource flows, particularly information sharing, is one tool for understanding the emergent and transformative urban greening practice of landscaping roadside verges with native and/or waterwise plants. Urban roadside greening in Perth, Western Australia, while formerly prohibited, is now increasingly accepted and advocated for by multiple sectors, as a nature-based solution that provides multiple ecosystem services and social-ecological benefits. This study drew on participatory stakeholder mapping to examine the stakeholder network of non-residential actors connected with verge greening. Using social network analysis, we found almost 80% of resource flows across a large network of diverse stakeholders were information related. We identified top providers, recipients, brokers, as local and state governments and peak bodies, and, to a lesser extent, key individuals, community groups, nurseries, residents and environmental consultants and developers. The network was characterized by four dominant and five smaller communities, which we classified into a typology based on composition, structure (quantitative material), and contextual knowledge, including function, dominant roles and responsibilities (qualitative material). These were the ‘planning and development hub’, ‘governance enablers’, ‘water efficient hub’, ‘greenspace hub’. The five smaller communities were ‘advocates’, ‘transformers’, ‘new vision’, ‘local networks’ and ‘early adopters’. The network analysis provides evidence of communities that transcend traditional sector or actor silos, commonly converging around local governments as key knowledge brokers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54744,"journal":{"name":"Landscape and Urban Planning","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 105342"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examined how urbanization impacts the interaction networks between plants and different pollinator groups and evaluated the dissimilarities of urban green spaces at both local and regional scales within a Neotropical metropolis. Recording 1,404 interactions between 262 plant and 220 pollinator species, we found that network specialization varied among pollinator groups but was not affected by urban impervious surface cover. Such lack of difference may happen owing to the prevalence of generalist species across urban environments. Importantly, urban green spaces showed high dissimilarities in species and interactions, emphasizing the heterogeneity found across the urban landscape. Plant composition also varied between urban green spaces and was strongly correlated with interaction dissimilarities, indicating that floral resources contribute to unique interactions found in different areas. Our results suggest that although important, bees alone do not represent the wider response of pollinators to urbanization. Furthermore, the high dissimilarities influenced by site specific plant-pollinator co-occurrence underscore that multiple and connected green spaces are required to safeguard plant-pollinator interaction diversity and its vital ecosystem function in cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54744,"journal":{"name":"Landscape and Urban Planning","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 105361"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
