Willingness to Pay for Urban and Suburban Green

Dimitrios Kalfas et al.

Summary: Peri-urban and urban green spaces are important priorities in the regional policy agenda of local governments, and their value to residents is influenced by factors such as income, knowledge of environmental issues, and perceived benefits. This study explores these factors using the contingent valuation method and highlights the role of environmental economic methods in natural heritage management.

COVID-19 and urban planning: Built environment, health, and well-being in Greek cities before and during the pandemic

Kostas Mouratidis et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on people's quality of life, with decreased health and well-being during this period. The relationship between the urban built environment and health and well-being has varied between the COVID-19 period and the pre-pandemic period, indicating that factors such as proximity to parks and local facilities, lower neighborhood density, living further from the city center, and residing in larger dwellings are associated with better health and well-being outcomes during COVID-19.

Preferences of Young Adults concerning the Pocket Parks with Water Reservoirs in the Aspect of Willingness to Pay (WTP) in Warsaw City, Poland

Agnieszka Mandziuk et al.

Summary: This paper presents the results of a survey conducted to determine the social preferences of young adults regarding their willingness to finance pocket parks in Warsaw. The findings show that young respondents prefer parks with natural water reservoirs and are more willing to finance parks that have been anthropogenically modified. The study also reveals that willingness to finance increases with the need for more greenery and awareness of the positive impact on microclimate improvement. Additionally, respondents with higher incomes and who find the parks more attractive for leisure activities are more willing to finance them.

Micrometeorological and Hydraulic Properties of an Urban Green Space on a Warm Summer Day in a Mediterranean City (Attica-Greece)

Nikolaos D. Proutsos et al.

Summary: Urban green spaces play a vital role in mitigating urban heat islands by influencing surface temperatures and reflectance through vegetation types and optical properties. Different elements of urban green spaces show distinct differences in surface temperature and albedo. Tree shades, dry bare soil, and concrete surfaces exhibit higher surface temperatures compared to grass-covered areas.
