“…The mechanism of political commitment is triggered in circumstances where a public participation initiative is consistent with government policies and programs, such as 'devolution' -described as the shift of the approach of governance from the traditional top-down process to a bottom-up process, or decentralisation of health governance, and the incorporation of public participation as an essential aspect of health reforms (Church et al 2002;Frankish et al 2002;North and Werko 2002;Sevenant and Antrop 2010). Complementarily, organised public participants could also contribute in activating this mechanism.…”

Abstract. Although researchers argue for the importance of involving the public in developing health policy, there has been little focus on central research questions -such as what techniques of public participation work, in what circumstances, and why. This paper presents a realist synthesis which identifies and explains the underlying mechanisms and specific contextual factors that lead to effective public participation in health policy and planning. Peer-reviewed, English language literature was searched, which resulted in 77 articles for review and synthesis. This synthesis uncovered the underlying mechanism of 'political commitment' that generates public participation effectiveness. The other three possible underlying mechanisms, namely: 'partnership synergy', 'inclusiveness' and 'deliberativeness', were found to potentially provide further explanation on public participation effectiveness for health policy and planning. The findings of this review provide evidence that can be useful to health practitioners and decision-makers to actively involve the public when drafting public health policies and programs and, more importantly, guide them in deciding which strategies to best employ for which contexts.

“…This definition is in line with the holistic and complex character of landscape (Antrop, 2006;Antrop et al, 2013) and has brought together many disciplines to study people's preferences and their relationship with landscape structural components. The quality of a place is determined by the interaction of the landscape's biophysical features with the subjective perception and judgment of the individual viewer (Bousset et al, 2009;Burgess et al, 2009;Daniel, 2001;Dramstad et al, 2006;Sevenant and Antrop, 2010;Soini et al, 2009). …”

This paper addresses the representation of landscape complexity in stated preferences research. It integrates landscape ecology and landscape economics and conducts the landscape analysis in a three-dimensional space to provide ecologically meaningful quantitative landscape indicators that are used as variables for the monetary valuation of landscape in a stated preferences study. Expected heterogeneity in taste intensity across respondents is addressed with a mixed logit model in Willingness to Pay space. Our methodology is applied to value, in monetary terms, the landscape of the Sorrento Peninsula in Italy, an area that has faced increasing pressure from urbanization affecting its traditional horticultural, herbaceous, and arboreal structure, with loss of biodiversity, and an increasing risk of landslides. We find that residents of the Sorrento Peninsula would prefer landscapes characterized by large open views and natural features.Residents also appear to dislike heterogeneous landscapes and the presence of lemon orchards and farmers' stewardship, which are associated with the current failure of protecting the traditional landscape. The outcomes suggest that the use of landscape ecology metrics in a stated preferences model may be an effective way to move forward integrated methodologies to better understand and represent landscape and its complexity.

The Barking Riverside Brownfield Landscaping, the Ludwigsburg Green Living Room and Derbyshire St Pocket Park case studies presented here were selected as examples of how biodiversity conservation and multifunctionality may be embedded into the heart of transformative strategic urban planning through a multistakeholder hands-on approach to delivering nature-led UGI.…”

Renaturing cities using a regionally-focused biodiversity-led multifunctional benefits approach to urban green infrastructure AbstractIf a 'Renaturing of Cities' strategy is to maximise the ecosystem service provision of urban green infrastructure (UGI), then detailed consideration of a habitat services, biodiversity-led approach and multifunctionality are necessary rather than relying on the assumed benefits of UGI per se. The paper presents preliminary data from three case studies, two in England and one in Germany, that explore how multifunctionality can be achieved, the stakeholders required, the usefulness of an experimental approach for demonstrating transformation, and how this can be fed back into policy. We argue that incorporating locally contextualised biodiversity-led UGI design into the planning and policy spheres contributes to the functioning and resilience of the city and provides the adaptability to respond to locally contextualised challenges, such as overheating, flooding, air pollution, health and wellbeing as well as biodiversity loss. Framing our research to encompass both the science of biodiversity-led UGI and co-developing methods for incorporating a strategic approach to implementation of biodiversity-led UGI by planners and developers addresses a gap in current knowledge and begins to address barriers to UGI implementation. By combining scientific with policy learning and defined urban environmental targets with community needs, our research to date has begun to demonstrate how nature-based solutions to building resilience and adaptive governance can be strategically incorporated within cities through UGI. Highlights• Three case studies of novel urban green infrastructure implementation are presented• Effective multifunctional approaches to green infrastructure design demonstrated• That biodiversity should be an intrinsic consideration in design is illustrated• Local context and multi-stakeholder approach to design and management are integral
