摘要

房主协会（hoa）使用他们的规范契约和限制（ccr）来规范院子的组成。为数不多但数量不断增加的居屋协议在其核心责任协议书中加入环保条款。本研究评估了原生植物需求和草坪限制亲环境条款（PECs）对庭院组成的影响。通过前院调查，我们发现PEC庭院的平均本土物种覆盖率（29.51%）高于非PEC庭院（6.94%），而PEC庭院的平均草坪覆盖率（38.44%）低于非PEC庭院（68.04%）。虽然这些结果表明PECs是提高房主保护行为的一个机会，但我们建议进一步研究PECs的语言，房主对本地植物和可持续园林绿化实践的了解，以及开发商或HOA在支持房主方面的作用。

Assessing the impact of homeowner associations’ pro-environmental codes, covenants, and restrictions on member yards

Homeowner’s associations (HOAs) use their codes covenants, and restrictions (CCRs) to regulate yard composition. A small but growing number of HOAs include clauses in their CCRs with pro-environmental aims. This study assessed the effect of native plant requirement and lawn restriction pro-environmental clauses (PECs) on yard composition. Using front yard surveys, we found a greater mean percent cover of native species in PEC yards (29.51%) compared to non-PEC yards (6.94%) and less mean percent lawn cover in PEC yards (38.44%) than non-PEC yards (68.04%). While these results suggest that PECs are an opportunity for enhancing conservation behaviors of homeowners, we recommend further studies explore the language of PECs, homeowner knowledge of native plants and sustainable landscaping practices, and developer or HOA roles in supporting homeowners.

期刊介绍： Landscape and Urban Planning is an international journal that aims to enhance our understanding of landscapes and promote sustainable solutions for landscape change. The journal focuses on landscapes as complex social-ecological systems that encompass various spatial and temporal dimensions. These landscapes possess aesthetic, natural, and cultural qualities that are valued by individuals in different ways, leading to actions that alter the landscape. With increasing urbanization and the need for ecological and cultural sensitivity at various scales, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to comprehend and align social and ecological values for landscape sustainability. The journal believes that combining landscape science with planning and design can yield positive outcomes for both people and nature.
