了解人们从城市自然中受益和照顾城市自然的机会和限制是迈向更可持续城市的重要一步。为了探索，参与，并使战略，以提高城市生活质量，我们结合联合收割机的社会生态技术系统框架与灵活的方法论方法来城市研究。该框架侧重于城市内生态系统服务效益的流动和分配的背景依赖性。共享的概念系统框架支持对单个案例的明确定位和多种方法的集成，同时仍然允许灵活地与当地情况保持一致并确保与上下文相关的知识。为了说明这一框架，我们借鉴了一组探索性的案例研究的见解，用于开发和测试框架如何指导研究设计和综合多个异构的情况下。依靠跨学科的多和混合方法的研究设计，我们的方法旨在实现案例内分析和支持，并逐步建立跨案例和城市背景的累积理解。最后，我们通过讨论有关绿色和蓝色基础设施及其对城市生活质量的贡献的关键问题来结束，该方法可以帮助解决，以及我们对城市系统的理解和我们用来填补这些空白的方法论方法中存在的知识差距。
Understanding opportunities as well as constraints for people to benefit from and take care of urban nature is an important step toward more sustainable cities. In order to explore, engage, and enable strategies to improve urban quality of life, we combine a social-ecological-technological systems framework with a flexible methodological approach to urban studies. The framework focuses on context dependencies in the flow and distribution of ecosystem service benefits within cities. The shared conceptual system framework supports a clear positioning of individual cases and integration of multiple methods, while still allowing for flexibility for aligning with local circumstances and ensuring context-relevant knowledge. To illustrate this framework, we draw on insights from a set of exploratory case studies used to develop and test how the framework could guide research design and synthesis across multiple heterogeneous cases. Relying on transdisciplinary multi- and mixed methods research designs, our approach seeks to both enable within-case analyses and support and gradually build a cumulative understanding across cases and city contexts. Finally, we conclude by discussing key questions about green and blue infrastructure and its contributions to urban quality of life that the approach can help address, as well as remaining knowledge gaps both in our understanding of urban systems and of the methodological approaches we use to fill these gaps.
