“…This research aims to investigate how horticultural tourism is a source of family experiences, and may contribute to the configuration of sustainable food production and consumption in a tourism system. Nowadays, "the paradox of modern society is that a general interest in following an environmentally friendly lifestyle is accompanied by a loss of contact with the natural world" [42] (p. 306). In this sense, green areas in urban environments respond to the demand of people who seek a balance between "rush" and "relax", which has been accelerated by the spread of COVID-19 [62].…”

“…Previous work has suggested that the local origin of fruits and vegetables supplied by farmers are of crucial importance in the development of the relationship between horticulture and tourism [22]. In this sense, green spaces in urban environments are key in urban policy [42]. The nature-based environments found in urban areas are understood as "urban green spaces" [14] that have a direct impact on both health and wellbeing.…”

Most of the global population live in urban environments and the majority of tourist flows are concentrated in cities. Urban agriculture has recently emerged as an avenue for the protection of sustainable food production and the promotion of sustainable food consumption. Also, the relationships between horticulture and tourism are attracting growing interest in the context of urban studies. Drawing on a qualitative approach based on ten semi-structured interviews, this research analyzes the relationship between urban gardens and family tourism. The paper innovatively contributes to the understanding of gardens as an urban attraction that improves the sustainable production and consumption of food in the context of family tourism experiences. The results show the relevance of urban gardens for the creation of sustainable experiences that engage families with local food, enhance local supply chains, and inform the future of urban environments. Urban gardens are a visitor attraction that may lead to the development of sustainable people, places and products, and they represent the sustainable integration of horticulture in tourism based on participatory experiences, direct contact with the natural environment and the discovery of the origin of food.

Urban blue-green spaces provide us abundant social, environmental, and economic benefits, but the disparities often exist in their distribution and accessibility. Traditionally urban blue-green spaces are a consolidation of “blue-green infrastructure” within urban areas. Several urban features like parks, forests, gardens, visible water, such as parks, rivers, canals, reservoirs, ponds, lakes, fountains, etc. are categorized or considered under the blue-green spaces and these are very much crucial for various urban ecosystem services. These play a significant role for all stakeholders of the urban community. Thus, everyone must ensure the equitable number of blue-green spaces for all. Recently, several rules and regulations towards the safeguarding of urban blue-green spaces have been outlined. The work presents a methodological framework to develop an approach towards sustainable urban growth with the help of urban blue-green spaces assessments. The current work has attempted to examine the linkage between issues of the urban blue-green spaces for restoring the required infrastructures. It can be utilised for all sustainable urban development for urban planning and design projects to play a pivotal role. The work emphasizes more to develop a methodological framework to analyze the urban blue-green spaces for augmentation with a theoretical framework. It is expected that the advancement of a problem cum objectives-driven approach will help to design an impact-driven approach for planned and concrete action.

The possibility of direct contact with nature significantly affects the quality of life of urban residents, including the recreational use of green and blue spaces. Although the benefits derived from urban nature are generally well recognised, much less is known about the negative experiences related to visits to green and blue spaces. In the context of sustainable recreational planning and management, it is crucial to have complex knowledge on the perception of urban green and blue spaces by its users, especially the relations between different kinds of experiences. The objective of the article is to fill this gap by using participatory mapping to identify both the positive and negative aspects of experiencing the Vistula River in Warsaw, Poland. Based on the opinions of the residents, bundles of positive experiences and groups of negative experiences related to visits along the river were identified. Additionally, the influence of negative experiences declared on the assessment of positive experiences was investigated. Positive experiences are linked to perceiving the urban riverscape as: (1) a domesticated place, a space of intellectual joining with nature; (2) a space of social interactions; (3) a space of spending time actively and experiencing nature. In the context of negative experiences, the survey participants indicated that the visitor-related aspects were more prominent than the nature-related aspects. Furthermore, in some cases negative experiences significantly affected the assessment of positive experiences. The results obtained can be used to identify and fulfil the key needs of urban dwellers toward the riverscape as a leisure space.
