4. 2. Hydraulic Efficiency in Pond Design

   Author : Jesper Persson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; performance; environmental science; efficiency; numerical modeling; design; hydraulics; pond; wetland; tracer study; preference;

   Abstract : Today there is a growing interest in constructed ponds to treat agricultural runoff, sewage water and stormwater. But ponds not only remove nitrogen, phosphorus and pollutants such as heavy metals; they can also have ecological, social and esthetic values. READ MORE

5. 3. Urban green networks : a socio-ecological framework for planning and design of green and blue spaces in Sweden and China

   Author : Na Xiu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Multi-disciplinary research is needed to address the issue of urban landscape fragmentation. Based on empirical and theoretical context analysis, a framework of network-based, socio-ecological methods and indicators that can be effectively applied by practitioners in different geographical locations was developed in this thesis.

6. 4. User participation in public urban woodland management : drivers and impact on green space quality

   Author : Hanna Fors; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : There is widespread agreement on the many benefits citizens gain from recreational use of local green spaces such as urban woodlands, and the importance of involving users in the development of their everyday landscapes. Despite this, the impact of user participation on the quality of public green spaces has not been thoroughly studied. READ MORE

7. 5. CARESCAPE OF BLUE-GREEN SOLUTIONS IN EVERYDAY LIFE : Exploring the socio-materiality of a landscape technology

   Author : Misagh Mottaghi; miljö boende Stad; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; affordance; blue-green solutions; everyday life; human-nonhuman; matters of care; multifunctionality; nature-based solutions; neighborhood; rhythm; urban design; urban open space; temporality; socio-ecological urbanism; STS; water;

   Abstract : This research explores how blue-green solutions (BGS) take part in various everyday situations in the Augustenborg neighborhood of Malmö, Sweden, where BGS were introduced over twenty years ago to control urban flooding. The research applies a relational perspective, looking at everyday life as something that is contextually formed and given meaning in relation to the socio-materiality of the environment. READ MORE
