Beyond growth management: A review of the wider functions and effects of urban growth management policies

Matthew G. Kirby et al.

Summary: Urban growth management policies (UGMPs), such as green belts and urban growth boundaries, aim to prevent urban sprawl in peri-urban and rural areas. However, the broader social, environmental, and economic impacts of these policies on the governed landscapes are unclear and contested. This paper conducts a systematic review of academic literature to investigate the functions, impacts, and effects of UGMPs beyond urban sprawl. Rating: 9/10

Ecosystem services as the silver bullet? A systematic review of how ecosystem services assessments impact biodiversity prioritisation in policy

Agnes Zolyomi et al.

Summary: The concept of ecosystem services and their valuation has been widely used to demonstrate the value of nature to policy-makers. However, limited research has been done on the impact of ecosystem services assessments (ESA) on policy. This study found that economic valuation does not necessarily lead to higher policy impact, while stakeholder involvement is important for achieving policy impact.

Disconnection from nature: Expanding our understanding of human-nature relations

Thomas Beery et al.

Summary: The relationship between humans and nature has always been a subject of exploration throughout history, and recently the concept of connection to nature has become an important interdisciplinary field of study. Despite the growing attention to connection to nature, disconnection from nature has been underdeveloped and underresearched. In this article, the authors argue for a comprehensive understanding of disconnection from nature that goes beyond individual relationships and considers social and collective factors. They present the "wheel of disconnection" to illustrate how disconnections from nature manifest and challenge existing research that isolates human impacts on the environment from cultural and political contexts.

Multifunctional Green Belts: A planning policy assessment of Green Belts wider functions in England

Matthew G. Kirby et al.

Summary: This research explores the extent to which Green Belt policy in England promotes multifunctional benefits. The results show significant variation in the way these benefits are promoted in planning policy, and highlight the need for clearer implementation of secondary objectives. The study suggests that the potential of Green Belts to provide multifunctional benefits has not yet been fully realized or mainstreamed in English planning policy.

Evaluating the effectiveness of development-limiting boundary control policy: Spatial difference-in-difference analysis

Ronghui Tan et al.

Summary: Development-limiting boundaries are used in Chinese cities to regulate land use and protect the ecosystem, but their effectiveness is still debated. A study in Wuhan found that urban land growth inside the ecological redline was significant, indicating that the policy failed to contain land expansion. Inefficient coordination mechanisms, technical limitations, and the role of local governments are identified as the main reasons for the policy's failure.

Multifunctionality of a peri-urban landscape: exploring the diversity of residents' perceptions and preferences

Anna Filyushkina et al.

Summary: To develop successful policies for sustainable land use, it is important to understand the perspectives of different actors. This study examined the variations in the valuation of ecosystem services (ES) and perception of multifunctionality among residents in a peri-urban setting. The findings showed that while most ES were important to residents, there were differences in preference towards certain services. The study highlighted the need to consider residents' perceptions and values in landscape governance, as they may differ from current policy and management efforts.

Participatory mapping reveals biocultural and nature values in the shared landscape of a Nordic UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Jarrod Cusens et al.

Summary: This study used a transdisciplinary approach to assess the spatial distribution of socio-cultural ecosystem service (ES) values in a Biosphere Reserve (BR), identifying hotspots and bundles of ES values. The research found that stakeholders highly value biocultural ES values, especially related to outdoor recreation, biodiversity, agricultural products, and cultural heritage. The study highlights the importance of biocultural values, showing that agricultural landscapes in the region are valued for multiple ES values beyond just agricultural products.

Protection of peri-urban open spaces at the level of regional policy-making: Examples from six European regions

Marcin Spyra et al.

Summary: Peri-urbanisation is a dynamic process involving the expansion of artificial areas into natural, seminatural, and agricultural areas, which threatens biodiversity and ecosystem services. This study analyzed land cover changes in six European case study regions and identified policy improvements to protect peri-urban open spaces. The research suggests potential for improving regulatory instruments and implementing multi-level governance for better protection of peri-urban open spaces at a regional level.

A methodological framework for analysis of participatory mapping data in research, planning, and management

Nora Fagerholm et al.

Summary: Various methods are applied to analyze data collected through participatory mapping, including PPGIS, PGIS, and VGI. However, these methods lack an organized framework and fail to situate within a broader context. The article presents a framework categorized into three phases and highlights analysis methods with empirical examples, aiming to guide both novice and experienced practitioners in the field. Future developments in analysis of participatory mapping data are also discussed.

Exploring the ecological outcomes of mandatory biodiversity net gain using evidence from early-adopter jurisdictions in England

Sophus O. S. E. zu Ermgassen et al.

Summary: Net outcome-type biodiversity policies, such as the UK's Environment Bill mandating biodiversity net gain for new developments, are increasingly adopted globally. However, the actual outcomes of these policies have not been empirically explored. A study of early-adopter councils in England found that while there was a 34% reduction in nonurban habitats, developers committed to deliver smaller areas of higher quality habitat later in the development project cycle.
