“…In landscape ecology, ecological networks are primarily designed to connect and protect increasingly fragmented ecosystems. In related research fields in global regions, other terms are conceptualized similar to ecological networks, such as ecological infrastructure (EI) and green infrastructure (GI) (Louis-Lucas et al, 2022; MacKinnon et al, 2022; Thomas et al, 2022). These concepts used by landscape ecologists and planners refer to a natural life-support system that connects fragmented landscapes in cities and sustains natural ecological processes (Benedict and McMahon, 2002; Bryant, 2006).…”

Since the beginning of the 21st century, recognizing the need for sustainable development and the protection of ecosystems, the United Nations and international agencies have been actively promoting the protection of the natural environment. The construction of ecological networks (EN), as one of these efforts, emphasizes the connectivity between natural patches and their ability to support ecosystem services (ES). Currently, constructing ecological networks using ecosystem services as a comprehensive evaluation criterion has become one of the important ways to maintain sustainable ecosystems. Karst regions have received much attention due to their fragile ecosystems, and this paper reviews articles from around the world that have studied ecosystem services and ecological networks in these regions. It found that this research is gradually maturing, although the number of published articles on research related to ecological networks is relatively small, with the largest number of papers taking the Chinese Karst region as a study area. Indicator factors for the construction of ecological networks in this region are usually based on ecosystem services, but they are usually not considered comprehensive enough, e.g., the trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services are rarely considered. At the same time, the construction of ecological networks requires dynamic monitoring and optimization on a larger scale in order to provide assistance for longer-term environmental protection.

“…The European Commission defines GI as a strategic planning network with high-quality natural and semi-natural areas (including green and blue spaces and other ecosystems) that aims to provide a wider range of ecosystem services [4][5][6]. The European Union has taken the lead in launching a 10-year plan for GI across countries, regions, and cities, aiming to build a GI network through collaboration, protect urban forests, integrate GI resources such as urban parks, rivers, and streams, improve the ecological network, and provide UGBS for residents [6][7][8][9]. As green and blue spaces are frequently mentioned together, and they are also the objects that planners need to pay attention to together, the term green-blue infrastructure (GBI) has been widely accepted in recent years.…”

The integration of multisensory-based public subjective perception into planning, management, and policymaking is of great significance for the sustainable development and protection of UGBS. Online reviews are a suitable data source for this issue, which includes information about public sentiment, perception of the physical environment, and sensory description. This study adopts the deep learning method to obtain effective information from online reviews and found that in 105 major sites of Tokyo (23 districts), the public overall perception level is not balanced. Rich multi-sense will promote the perception level, especially hearing and somatosensory senses that have a higher positive prediction effect than vision, and overall perception can start improving by optimizing these two senses. Even if only one adverse sense exists, it will seriously affect the perception level, such as bad smell and noise. Optimizing the physical environment by adding natural elements for different senses is conducive to overall perception. Sensory maps can help to quickly find areas that require improvement. This study provides a new method for rapid multisensory analysis and complementary public participation for specific situations, which helps to increase the well-being of UGBS and give play to its multi-functionality.

“…Not only does it possess significant cultural and economic value, but it also exerts a considerable influence on biodiversity, field microclimates [14,15], soilwater transfers [16], and groundwater quality [17]. Nevertheless, despite laws and local initiatives promoting bocage maintenance, the length of hedgerows in Brittany continues to decline [18,19]. This reduction in hedgerow length benefits farmers who take advantage of selling wood and a simpler landscape mosaic that facilitates crop production by facilitating labour.…”

Do Land Use and Land Cover Scenarios Support More Integrated Land Use Management?

In agricultural landscape management, the conventional top-down approaches that primarily focus on market-led responses struggle to preserve the landscape elements essential for environmental sustainability. To address this deficiency, land use and land cover change (LUCC) scenarios promote an integrated understanding of landscape dynamics and highlight the inconsistency between the compartmentalisation of the public sector (“siloisation”) and the necessity for management that reflects the interdependencies of socio-ecological systems. This study investigates the extent to which the creation and dissemination of LUCC scenarios lead to modifications in the values, attitudes, and behaviours of local actors engaged in land management, giving particular emphasis to the role of these scenarios in encouraging integrated management. To accomplish this objective, we interviewed local actors who actively participated in the co-construction of the scenario narratives or learned about the scenarios during dissemination workshops. We then analysed the data via a thematic and lexicometric analysis. The findings highlighted the dual function of these scenarios as a catalyst for pre-existing political will to promote integrated management and as a tool for raising awareness about major environmental challenges. At the group level, the outcomes encompassed aspects such as basing political decisions on the results of scenarios and fostering collaboration between institutions. These outcomes were observed among the actors involved in co-constructing scenarios or those with pre-existing motivations to pursue integrated management initiatives. Additional personal outcomes included an increased awareness of environmental challenges and the consolidation of non-formalised knowledge. We argue that combining co-construction and dissemination enhances the outcomes of scenarios considerably.
