AbstractPlanning with nature-based solutions (NBS) presents a participatory approach that harnesses actions supported by nature to address societal challenges. Whilst Geodesign may facilitate participatory planning, manage boundaries between participants, and assess impacts of NBS, empirical insights remain scarce. This paper aims to develop and test a Geodesign process for planning with NBS, and to evaluate its contributions to boundary management. In a one-day Geodesign process, eleven stakeholders delineated priority areas, changed land uses, and observed resulting impacts on ecosystem services. Contributions to boundary management were evaluated regarding translation, communication and mediation functions, as well as perceived attributions of credibility, salience, and legitimacy. Results include spatial NBS scenarios and insights into contributions to boundary management: translating scenario stories into maps differed depending on the stakeholders involved; communication can be easily facilitated; yet mediation using an indicator tool led to frustration. Geodesign can indeed facilitate NBS co-design but needs to be integrated into a larger collaborative process.

Risk Reduction Measures

AbstractNature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognized as sustainable approaches to address societal challenges. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) has benefited by moving away from purely ‘grey’ infrastructure measures towards NbS. However, this shift also furthers an increasing trend of reliance on public acceptance to plan, implement and manage DRR measures. In this review, we examine how unique NbS characteristics relate to public acceptance through a comparison with grey measures, and we identify influential acceptance factors related to individuals, society, and DRR measures. Based on the review, we introduce the PA-NbS model that highlights the role of risk perception, trust, competing societal interests, and ecosystem services. Efforts to increase acceptance should focus on providing and promoting awareness of benefits combined with effective communication and collaboration. Further research is required to understand interconnections among identified factors and how they can be leveraged for the success and further uptake of NbS.

<p>Concomitant with the increase in solar photovoltaic (PV) energy development over the past decade has been the increasing emphasis on land sharing strategies that maximize the land use efficiency of solar energy developments.  Many of these strategies focus on improving the compatibility of solar energy development with other co-located land uses (e.g., agriculture) and by improving several ecosystem services that could have natural, societal, and industrial benefits. One such land opportunity is the restoration and management of native grassland vegetation beneath ground-mounted PV solar energy facilities, which has the potential to restore native habitat to conserve biodiversity and restore previously altered ecosystem services (e.g., natural pollination services). This presentation will discuss various assessment and modeling approaches to evaluate the scale and magnitude of the ecosystem services provided by different vegetation management strategies at solar PV energy development sites. This work demonstrates how multifunctional land uses in energy systems represents a win-win solution for energy and the environment by optimizing energy-food-ecology synergies. This work was conducted by Argonne National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357.</p>

Abstract The economic tool of Payment for Environmental Services (PES) has been considered as an alternative for the conservation of the biodiversity and ecosystem services in private lands. To guide decision makers in implementing PES schemes, this paper aimed to identify in the scientific literature the important elements to prioritize areas in the implementation of PES-biodiversity schemes. It is claimed that the elements extracted from PES-biodiversity schemes must be used as a reference to guide the implementation of other PES schemes based on the recovery and maintenance of natural areas (e.g. water, carbon, environmental aesthetics conditions). Thus, the sustainability of PES schemes can be guaranteed over time.

Residential District

Planning for Ananda's Early Childhood Education (PAUD) learning room, located in a densely populated and densely populated residential district of Tambora District, West Jakarta, was carried out due to lack of knowledge and funds to build and carry out maintenance. Therefore, additional knowledge, assistance and a pilot of healthy learning environment facilities are needed. Counseling, assistance and demonstration conducted are bottom up through a participatory planning approach. This is done so that the planning, design, and maintenance of environmental facilities are in accordance with the needs and abilities of the community, can be accepted by the community, as well as a medium for community learning or transfer of knowledge related to the planning, design and maintenance of environmental facilities, especially PAUD facilities. In addition, with this participatory approach it is hoped that a strong sense of ownership will emerge as a basis for self-supporting and sustainable maintenance and development of public facilities.Perencanaan ruang belajar Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) Ananda yang terletak di pemukiman padat penduduk dan padat bangunan Kecamatan Tambora, Jakarta Barat dilakukan karena kurangnya pengetahuan dan biaya untuk membangun dan melakukan perawatan. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan pengetahuan tambahan, pendampingan serta percontohan tentang fasilitas lingkungan belajar yang sehat. Penyuluhan, pendampingan serta percontohan yang dilakukan bersifat bottom up melalui pendekatan partisipatory planning. Hal ini dilakukan agar perencanaan, perancangan, dan perawatan fasilitas lingkungan tersebut sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan kemampuan masyarakat, dapat diterima oleh masyarakat, serta menjadi media pembelajaran masyarakat atau transfer of knowledge terkait perencanaan, perancangan, dan perawatan fasilitas lingkungan, khususnya fasilitas PAUD. Selain itu dengan pendekatan partisipatif ini diharapkan timbul rasa kepemilikan yang kuat (sense of belonging) yang akan menjadi modal dasar bagi pemeliharaan dan pengembangan fasilitas publik secara swadaya dan berkelanjutan.
