Inventory And Monitoring

The article describes the role of remote sensing technologies in monitoring urban green spaces. The positive aspects of the use of air laser scanning in the inventory and monitoring of urban green spaces are listed. The role of urban green spaces in the formation of an environmentally friendly urban environment is briefly described. Insufficient elaboration of the regulatory and legal documentation in the field of registration of urban green spaces in the Unified State Register of Real Estate Objects was noted. It is emphasized that the lack of approaches to the consideration of urban green spaces as independent cadastral objects entails numerous violations in the field of environmental and environmental legislation of settlements. A solution to this problem is proposed, which consists in the mandatory accounting of cadastral data on the land plot under the urban green spaces when maintaining the urban green spaces monitoring database.

The article notes the role of urban green spaces in providing a safe and comfortable environment of the industrial centre. The damage caused by anthropogenic impact to different categories of urban green spaces is briefly described. The necessity of using GIS-technologies and digital cartographic support to gather and analyze information about urban green spaces is stated. To solve this problem a new type of cartographic products – digital greening plans – is proposed and described in detail. Classification of digital greening plans, the cartographic notation, thematic content, main directions of use and target audience are considered. Fragments of digital greening plans depicted the experimental work area in Novosibirsk are given. Conclusion about the advantages of digital greening plans compared to related types of cartographic products is made.

Survey Questionnaires

Spiders are among the most ubiquitous arthropods that can dwell on diverse habitats, which include small-scale urban green spaces (UGS). To promote urban diversity, we assessed the awareness of a local community situated within UGS in Davao, Philippines about the ecological roles of spiders. Data were obtained by administering survey questionnaires to 80 households using convenience sampling. The survey revealed that the local community is knowledgeable on the occurrence of spiders in their area (97.5%), in which they are mostly acquainted with spiders of Pisauridae (25%) and Araneidae (20.3%). Also, the community has recognized the important ecological roles of spiders, in which they mostly acknowledged the role of spiders as a significant source of food for other organisms (71.62%). However, a high proportion of respondents also recognized the socio-economic benefits of spiders through spider wrestling (60.81%). Henceforth, the ecological roles of spiders could be subjugated as spider wrestling is practiced in the local community, which could be a possible threat to the spider population. Thus, we highly suggest to involve concerned local communities in urban biodiversity management for the conservation of spiders in the Philippines, which is highly at risk due to its perceived socio-economic benefits.

Existing Data

This chapter aims to analyze the review the existing literature on some important features of urban green spaces such as the components, functions, services, community involvement, initiatives, and actions from an ecosystem perspective. The analysis begins from the assumption that urban green spaces are ecosystems of vital importance in enhancing the quality of life in an urban environment and supplying ecosystem services such as biodiversity and climate regulation. Meeting the needs of users is related with the functions and services that urban green spaces provide to communities. The methods employed in this analysis are the empirical literature and documents review, analysis of existing data on uses and users, interviews with authorities, and more detailed examination of a case specific data. Also, as some concluding remarks, some wider environmental, economic, and social initiatives for local authorities and communities are suggested that can justify initiatives by all represented and involved stakeholders. Finally, the study advances some opportunities, challenges, and further research.

The article briefly describes the role of urban green spaces in the formation of a comfort urban environment. The main types of urban green spaces violations as a result of anthropogenic activity are indicated. The current methods and regulatory documents in the field of inventory and monitoring of urban green spaces are characterized. The lack of documentation on the consideration of urban green spaces as real estate is emphasized. This entails numerous violations in the field of environmental legislation of settlements. A solution to this problem is proposed, which consists of the obligatory registration of cadastral data on the land plot under the urban green spaces while maintaining the urban green spaces monitoring database. A scheme for integrating heterogeneous data on urban green spaces to perform an inventory and environmental assessment of the state of urban green spaces is presented.
