The interdisciplinary project, including the school disciplines of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Expressions, Portuguese, ICT, History, and geography of Portugal. The project emerged from the students' interests and needs when observing the school space. An action plan for the improvement of green spaces was created through the creation of a school garden. The students were involved in planning, creating partnerships, executing and maintaining theproject. During the school year, there was a change in behaviour in relation to the garden and the care for the school green spaces by the students involved, but also by the school community.

The Creation

When assessing the ecological state of urbanized areas, there is a tendency to an increase in noise pollution. This process adversely affects human health. The main reason for this process in urbanized areas is the increase in the intensity of the traffic load. To solve this problem, various methods can be applied, ranging from technical means, the use of which is difficult to implement and costly, to planting green spaces, whose efficiency is high enough, and the costs of their creation are insignificant. The creation of green spaces helps to reduce noise levels in urbanized areas.

Financial Subsidy

The public and private green spaces of the communes of Cocody and Plateau of Abidjan city are deteriorating because of lack of financial means for their maintenance. The overall objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of payments for ecosystem services (PES) in their self-financing. To carry out this study, a survey was conducted among users of 3 public gardens in the Plateau and private garden owners in Cocody. It aimed to identify the willingness to pay (CAP) of users of public gardens for their management and to identify incentives for the creation of private gardens in their own concessions. Analysis of the data reveals a PAC in the form of visiting tax or voluntary donation ranging from 100 FCFA (0.15 €) to 2000 FCFA (3.07 €). Respondents who declare a visiting tax between 100 FCFA and 500 FCFA are the most numerous with a percentage of 92.95. Students, students and unemployed visitors are on the sidelines of visitors who refuse to pay for the management of public gardens. If we stick to the visit fees proposed by the majority of the interviewees, it would be possible to collect 79,800 FCFA (122.76 €) per day for 339,000 FCFA (521.53 €) for all 3 public gardens. With regard to the creation of private gardens, a financial subsidy mechanism could motivate the population. This study demonstrates that the introduction of payments for ecosystem services could be an incentive for the development of green spaces in urban areas.

Sphere Of Influence

Currently, there is a process of spatial concentration of the population and the spread of urban lifestyle, which inevitably leads to the expansion of the boundaries of cities and their sphere of influence, an increase in the diversity of activities. In this regard, the creation and maintenance of a comfortable urban environment of a megalopolis is becoming an increasingly urgent managerial task. The decisive factors in supporting urbanized territories in a comfortable state for living are the objects of” green “ infrastructure. One of the important issues, at the same time, is the information support of the management system for the territories of land plots with green spaces.

The City

This chapter follows the work of Mary Simkhovitch, a key figure in settlement houses in New York, but also a major proponent of the notion of municipalisation, a concept developed in Germany that advocated the transferal to city ownership of previously private, corporate assets. Simkhovitch was part of a group of Americans who were strongly influenced by ideas regarding social welfare that developed in Germany at the end of the 19th Century. She sought to implement these ideas in New York by establishing the Greenwich House settlement and then serving as its headworker for 44 years. During this period, she engaged in efforts to regulate industries through the National Consumers League, spearheaded tenement reform and the creation of public housing in New York, and played a key role in efforts to expand green spaces and recreational opportunities for children, adolescents, and adults in the city.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
