从事城市绿地管理的政策制定者和实践者想知道什么样的干预措施能有效促进心理健康。然而，在实践中，他们依赖于多种形式的知识，往往是不成文的形式。本文认为，这些知识是如何解释和使用的一系列利益相关者，以确定绿地干预措施，以支持居民的健康和福祉在一个英国城市。它考察了学术研究，政策和实践之间的接口，借鉴了在英国谢菲尔德为期三年的研究结果。“通过城市自然改善福祉”项目调查了“城市自然”与心理健康之间的联系。一股的研究试图影响政策和实践，本文介绍了调查结果，并反映了这一工作的一些过程。它强调了隐性知识在实践中的作用及其对实践者选择绿色空间干预措施的影响，以及利用此类知识影响政策的挑战。研究结果肯定了基于实践的知识的社会地位，解释性和政治权重。本文最后论证了在设计绿地提供和管理的政策处方时考虑当地情况的重要性。
Policymakers and practitioners working in urban greenspace management want to know what kind of interventions are effective in promoting mental wellbeing. In practice, however, they rely on multiple forms of knowledge, often in unwritten form. This paper considers how such knowledge is interpreted and used by a range of stakeholders to identify greenspace interventions to support residents' health and wellbeing in one UK city. It examines the interface between academic research, policy and practice, drawing on the findings of a three-year study in Sheffield, UK. The Improving Wellbeing through the Urban Nature project investigated the links between 'urban nature' and mental health. One strand of the research sought to influence policy and practice, and this article presents findings and reflects on some of the processes of this exercise. It highlights the role of tacit knowledge in practice and its influence on practitioners' choice of greenspace interventions and the challenges in drawing on such knowledge to influence policy. The findings affirm practice-based knowledge as socially situated, interpretively fashioned and politically weighted. This paper concludes by demonstrating the importance of considering the local context when devising policy prescriptions for greenspace provision and management.
