Assessing spatial differences of perceptions of cultural ecosystem services for coastal cultural landscape management: A case study from rural and urban areas in Quanzhou, China.

Urban parks are the primary green infrastructure for urban residents to pursue psychological restoration, promote health, relax and connect with nature. The various cultural ecosystem services (CES) provided by urban parks directly impact people’s health and well-being. Understanding the correlation between CES provided by urban parks and the different characteristics of specific groups can promote public willingness to engage with the nature and their health and well-being, and the effective information provided by CES can be used to protect and improve specific or traditional areas of parks. This study focuses on two urban parks (People’s Park and Xiliu Lake Park) located in the central urban area of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China. A questionnaire survey and participatory mapping methods were employed to explore the priority for 10 types of CES among both local residents and visitors, aiming to reveal the public demand for CES in urban parks and provide a basis for the landscape design or renovation of urban parks. The results show that (1) the main purposes for the public visiting the parks are mental relaxation, scenery appreciation, and leisure and fitness. (2) The public has a rich perception of various types of CES in the urban parks, especially in terms of entertainment and aesthetic value. (3) The impact of education level on cultural services was substantial. (4) The trade-offs and synergies of CES of urban parks are complex and diverse. (5) The public’s perception of urban park CES and spatial value tend to be similar, with a wide distribution. Therefore, to maintain urban sustainable development, urban managers and landscape designers should consider different perspectives on CES provided by urban park stakeholders and enhance their CES through landscape design and renovation practices in urban parks, thereby improving the health and well-being of the public.

The value of a cultural ecosystem service depends on the perception of different cultural service categories. However, the data sources used in research on the perception of cultural service have limitations that mainly depend on social investigation, leading to slow progress in cultural service evaluation. With the advent of the era of network big data, social media provides a new data source for the study of cultural ecosystem service perception, so that the study of these services is expected to make new breakthroughs. Using search crawler software, this paper reviewed 7257 online comments related to 19 city parks in Xuzhou City, China. With the help of Rost Content mining semantic analysis software, the comment sentences were divided into keywords, and the Delphi expert method was used to classify these keywords. Thus, a cultural service perception database was established. Through statistical analysis, with the help of ArcGIS software, various cultural services were analyzed. The results showed that (1) the cultural services of urban parks could be divided into seven types (i.e., aesthetics, recreation, sports, inspiration, education, cultural heritage, and spiritual satisfaction) using social network comment data. (2) High-frequency keywords of online comment data can serve as the core basis during an analysis of the perception of cultural services by visitors of city parks. However, a large gap exists in the number of high frequency keywords in different parks. For example, Yunlong Lake Park has 2887 keywords, while Kuaizai Ting Park has only 33. (3) Differences exist in the perception of cultural service in urban parks, the park’s scale, and characteristics determine the visitor’s cultural service perception level. The aesthetic and recreation types were the most easily perceived, and 68% and 63% parks have the above two perceptual records, respectively. Therefore, the social media comment data has the ability to document perception of each park’s cultural service type and its differences, which can serve as the cultural ecosystem service perception as well as the valuation data source, to supplement the social investigation.

The effects of urban greenspace characteristics and socio-demographics vary among cultural ecosystem services

Analysis of cultural ecosystem services using text mining of residents’ opinions

This study aims to identify and evaluate the spatial distribution of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) benefits perceived by people in both urban and rural areas. A public participation GIS (PPGIS) approach was applied with local people who responded to an online survey and mapped their important places related to CES benefits in the Kokemäenjoki area. We explore the perceived ecosystem services of the community using different infrastructure types (green, grey, yellow and blue) based on the Corine Land Cover (CLC) classes. We identified spatial patterns of mapped important places using kernel density estimation and related CES benefit associations with the infrastructures using chi-square residuals. We found that CES in urban areas are provided more often when there is more than one type of infrastructure (e.g., grey and green; grey and blue), but grey infrastructures are preferred in urban areas, while blue infrastructures produce more CES benefits in rural areas.

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) provided by 12 major urban parks on the Macau Peninsula were quantitatively evaluated using social media data. Furthermore, the potential implications of these findings for cultural heritage preservation and landscape design optimization were investigated. A CES evaluation framework consisting of six dimensions was established. User-generated content (UGC) was then collected using web-crawling techniques. A sentiment analysis based on natural language processing (NLP) and a spatial clustering analysis were subsequently performed on the collected data. Significant differences between CES dimensions were identified across Macau’s urban parks (F = 19.45, p < 0.01). Among the CES dimensions, esthetic appreciation (M = 76.04) and landscape experience (M = 72.47) received the highest scores. Moreover, landscape experience was found to have the strongest influence on visitors’ emotional evaluations (β = 0.95, p < 0.01). The spatial autocorrelation analysis indicated that the CES distribution did not exhibit significant clustering patterns (Z = 0.59). Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational functions be enhanced, public facilities upgraded, and local cultural heritage integrated into landscape and spatial planning. This research provides a novel CES quantification method based on social media data. It also offers theoretical and practical frameworks for urban planning and cultural heritage conservation in Macau.

Assessing, mapping, and quantifying cultural ecosystem services at community level

Using social media photos to explore the relation between cultural ecosystem services and landscape features across five European sites

Urbanization by densification is globally increasing and endangers maintenance of urban green and associated social-ecological systems. Cultural ecosystem services play a crucial role in human well-being, especially in urban areas. We analyzed perceived importance of cultural ecosystem services provided by green space in Berlin along an urban-periurban gradient. Based on extensive pretests, we designed a standardized questionnaire and conducted 558 face-to-face interviews. B using multiple regressions and principal component analysis, we show that perceived importance of cultural ecosystem services and patterns of urban green use are affected by an urbanization gradient and associated changes in population density. Important cultural ecosystem services decreases in urban core areas with higher population density, whereas people in periurban areas with more available green spaces exhibit a greater valuation of nature. In contrast, social relations and cultural diversity had the highest importance in the urban core, while cultural heritage, education, natural awareness, recreation, and aesthetical appreciation were higher valued in the less populated periurban areas, suggesting two bundles of cultural ecosystem services.

<abstract> <p>The transformation of downtown industrial spaces is prevalent in cities in China and the global South. Because of economic development and social transformation, former factories no longer carry out production activities and are abandoned. Industrial heritage parks, as integrated urban parks with new cultural and ecological paradigms, provide unique cultural ecosystem services (CES) that contribute to the sustainable development of urban renewal. Assessing their CES to identify public satisfaction is essential for urban green space planning and management and for enhancing human well-being. Thus, we tried to investigate public perceptions of CES in industrial heritage parks and explored the relationship between public satisfaction with CES and high-quality industrial heritage parks. Using importance-satisfaction analysis (ISA) to assess CES based on public perceptions, the cultural ecosystem services importance satisfaction analysis (CES-ISA) framework was established. Two successful examples of industrial heritage renewal in China, Qijiang Park, and Shougang Park were selected as case studies. The results indicated that: ⅰ) There is a positive correlation between public importance-satisfaction feedback at the cultural level and high quality industrial heritage parks; ⅱ) the recreational, aesthetic and cultural heritage, and spiritual services provided by industrial heritage parks were the types of CES most valued by the public; ⅲ) improving the sense of place service is key to enhancing public satisfaction and promoting the sustainability of industrial heritage parks; ${\rm{iiii}}$) the CES-ISA framework can identify differences between public perceptions of importance and satisfaction with CES. It is beneficial to obtain management priorities for cultural services in industrial heritage parks.</p> </abstract>

They play a key role in improving human well-being and maintaining environmental sustainability. The core of CES is the emotional connection between human and nature. Conducting participatory mapping from the perspective of stakeholders is an effective way to perceive and protect hot CES spots. A participatory mapping and interview questionnaires were used to investigate the perception of CES between tourists and residents in Wuyishan City, which is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Fujian Province of China. It is the main location of Mount Wuyi, which is a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site and Wuyishan National Park. We compared the influencing factors and spatial pattern distribution of tourists' and residents' perception difference of CES in our study area, using spatial analysis and hotspot analysis methods. The results showed that:(1) except that residents' monthly income had an impact on their perception, the perception of CES of tourists and residents was basically not affected by demographic characteristics (gender, age, occupation and education level) (P>0.05). (2) The residents' per capita willingness to pay for protection in CES value was higher than tourists. Then, cultural heritage, recreation and ecotourism, education, and aesthetic value were four sub-cultural services valued by both tourists and residents. Tourists had the highest willingness to pay for cultural heritage value services, while residents had the highest willingness to pay for educational value services. (3) Residents' perception of CES value existed in the spatial distribution of a wide range, almost covering most towns and villages in Wuyishan City, while tourists were mainly located in the area with dense tourist destinations. The degree of perception of CES value on cold- or hot-spots had similar spatial distribution patterns to tourist spots. The intensity of perception of CES value from both tourists and residents decreased gradually from south to north of Wuyishan City. (4) There was no correlation between spiritual and religious values and recreational and ecotourism values, while there was a high correlation among the other sub-cultural services. For tourists, aesthetic value had the strongest correlation with inspiration value, while aesthetic value had the strongest correlation with local identity value among residents. Therefore, it is of great significance to identify and consider the perception differences between residents and tourists in CES to improve the regional planning level and landscape service functions. Integration the link between CES and civil society's engagement in environmental stewardship is beneficial to achieve more harmonious relationship between man and nature in our study area. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献

An indicator-based approach to analyse the effects of non-native tree species on multiple cultural ecosystem services

In Ukraine, during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, rapid economic and social changes took place, the war caused a massive reduction and destruction of cities, and the environmental situation worsened due to which the cultural services of the ecosystem decreased. Such changes provide an opportunity for the remaining cities to improve the quality of the environment through urban green spaces and solve the problem of meeting the aspirations of the community. The purpose of the study was to identify the importance and effectiveness of eight cultural ecosystem services during the war for park visitors in Kyiv. The following methods were used in the study: field survey (route), analytical, systematisation, sociological, socio-psychological, statistical. The Likert psychometric scale was used to survey visitors of two parks in Kyiv to identify the importance and effectiveness of eight cultural ecosystem services provided by parks. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. It was established that during the war, the visitors of the parks “Yunist” and “Sovky” noted the importance and effectiveness of such cultural ecosystem services as recreation, aesthetics, and nature awareness. It is determined that young people aged 16-30 and 51-60 are most in need of such services, and social relations in both Yunist and Sovky parks for all age categories are located in the reserve zone of service supply. The proven that effectiveness and importance of such services as cultural heritage and spiritual enrichment are the lowest for all age categories. Almost half of the visitors in the two parks provided suggestions for improving the quality of the environment, the greatest need was to increase the number of plantings and improve the improvement of territory, in the park “Sovky” respondents stated the need cultural heritage. It was established that the quality of plantings and the location of parks affected the overall satisfaction of visitors. Respondents’ satisfaction with the cultural ecosystem services of Sovky park is higher than that of Yunist park. The results of the studies can be used to improve the quality of cultural ecosystem services in the Sovky and Yunist parks

Cultural ecosystem services provided by landscapes: Assessment of heritage values and identity

Urban parks provide diverse cultural ecosystem services (CESs), which are crucial for residents’ mental well-being. However, few studies have investigated how urban parks’ CESs and their interactions vary across seasons. In this study, we used the downtown area of Chengdu, China, as a case study, and evaluated urban parks’ CESs based on social media comments and further explored their seasonal dynamics. We then analysed the seasonal trade-offs/synergies of these CESs for service pairs using Pearson correlation and for multiple services using bundle identification. The results show the following: (1) Most CESs except for social interaction had the highest intensities in autumn, and recreational activities and education were the CESs with the highest and lowest intensities among the four seasons, respectively. Education service showed the greatest seasonal variation, while recreational activities and physical and mental recovery were stable among different seasons. (2) Some CES pairs exhibited trade-offs/synergies, but those relationships changed over seasons. Specifically, there were trade-off/synergy relationships between seven CES pairs in spring, three CES pairs in summer and autumn, and four CES pairs in winter. (3) In terms of the trade-offs/synergies among multiple CESs, we identified three types of CES bundles, i.e., physical and mental recovery- and aesthetics-dominated, inspiration- and education-dominated, and social interaction- and recreation-dominated bundles. More than 50% of the urban parks exhibited the physical and mental recovery- and aesthetics-dominated bundle in four seasons, and the seasonal change between this bundle and the social interaction and recreation-dominant bundle was the most obvious among all the bundle changes. This study revealed urban parks’ CES seasonal dynamics and identified the seasonal variations in CES trade-offs/synergies, providing a reference for CES management in urban parks.
