“…Kudryavtsev, Krasny, and Stedman (2012) reported that educational trips give opportunity for real first hand experiences and brings welcome change to monotonous presence of teachers. Also, available literature reviewed noted that service learning had impact on students' social development, civic responsibility, career interests and skills in solving environmental problems (Warren, 2012;Christine;Durlak & Dymnicki 2011).…”

“…Studies have demonstrated that the stewarding of local urban nature also promotes a sense of place among communities (Stedman, 2003;ODPM, 2004;Kudryavtsev et al, 2012;Tidball and Stedman, 2013) which in turn builds on individual and community well-being.…”

1 Site-specific factors in the production of local urban ecosystem services: a case study of community-managed green space. AbstractPockets of green space in cities can provide important ecosystem services for urban residents. As naturalistic spaces in urban areas become increasingly sparse, communities are beginning to co-manage existing incidental pockets of land towards the creation of communal natural resources. Such green commons can be productive in terms of ecosystem services through targeted management such as in the case of urban agriculture. Although some work has been done to explore the motives behind and potential benefits of informal green space management, further research is required to understand those characteristics of site management and community input which contribute to the enhancement of sitespecific ecosystem service production. A case study of ten examples of community-managed green space was undertaken to evaluate the contributory factors relating to site character and management which influenced productivity as defined by the cumulative provision of four urban-relevant ecosystem services. The analysis revealed that the level of community involvement, measured as intensity of volunteer hours, was highly instrumental in the productivity of sites. Food production also proved to be catalytic for the enhancement of ecosystem services whereas extent of vegetative cover and increasing site size were, counter-intuitively, detrimental to overall site productivity. The study therefore supports the promotion of participatory approaches to the management of ecosystems services in urban areas, particularly those which take small-scale urban agriculture as a primary practice.

“…Second, parallel to Pantzar and Shove (2010), who talk about meanings related to objects, i.e., walking sticks for the fit or for the infirm, and doing, i.e., walking for fun or for fitness, we are particularly interested in meanings related to place and practice. We draw from a significant body of work on sense of place, symbolism, and social-ecological memories in civic ecology practices (Barthel et al 2010, Kudryavtsev et al 2012, Tidball 2014. Finally, the product or material element in studies of consumption practices has focused on such things as walking sticks or electric appliances; we have replaced consumer items with the land, water, or biological resource that is the focus of stewardship activities.…”

ABSTRACT. Our aim was to explore the use of practice theory as an approach to studying urban environmental stewardship. Urban environmental stewardship, or civic ecology practice, contributes to ecosystem services and community well-being and has been studied using social-ecological systems resilience, property rights, communities of practice, and governance frameworks. Practice theory, which previously has been applied in studies of consumer behaviors, adds a new perspective to urban stewardship research, focusing on how elements of a practice, such as competencies, meanings, and physical resource, together define the practice. We applied practice theory to eight different civic ecology practices, including oyster gardening in New York City, a civil society group engaged in litter cleanup in Iran, and village grove restoration in South Korea. Our analysis suggests that in applying practice theory to the civic ecology context, consideration should be given to social and communication competencies, how meanings can motivate volunteers and sustain practice, and the nature of the resource that is being stewarded. Future studies may want to focus on how practice elements interact within and vary across practices and may be used to more systematically analyze and share ideas among diverse civic ecology practices.
