Socio-Ecological Restoration of Cities Affected by Depopulation and Environmental Issues through the Development of Sustainable Green Infrastructure Managed at Multiple Levels

在2022年4月/2023年3月期间，研究的第一阶段--保护工作已部分实施。研究成果总结如下：-完成了现有的绿色-蓝色基础设施的测绘，如日本传统花园和神社和寺庙的圣林，及其位置、类型和连通性。-正在使用家庭Kankosha公司提供的信息在ArcGIS中绘制和处理废弃的灰色基础设施的位置、以前的用途和所有权。-城市绿地生态效益的计算1)。生物多样性的生产：通过捕获物种、放置IC记录器和红外线摄像机等方式调查五个日本花园，以及2)。气候行动：已经计算了日本五个花园按树种划分的潜在碳汇。-为了保护现有的绿色基础设施，将评估绿色公地的多层次管理。参与性行动研究(PAR)方法已用于与公共行政人员、所有者、社区和私营部门共同举办的讲习班，以进行这项评估。PAR的规划和行动是通过生态旅游、公民科学野生动物调查和联合维护来执行的。文章《关于圣林和生态系统服务的最新和未来研究方向》作者：Alebel Melaku，Juan Pastor Ilars，Mesfin Sahle。已发表于：斯普林格环境管理|2023年第6期

During April 2022/ March 2023, Stage 1-CONSERVATION of the research has been partially implemented. The summary of research achievements is as follows:-The mapping of the existing green-blue infrastructure, such as traditional Japanese gardens and sacred forests of shrines and temples, with its locations, typologies, and connectivity has been done.-The abandoned gray infrastructure locations, their previous use, and their ownership are being mapped and processed in ArcGIS using the information provided by household Kankosha company digital maps.-The calculation of urban green spaces' ecological benefits of 1). Production of biodiversity: surveying five Japanese gardens by capturing species, placing IC recorders and infra-red cameras, etc., and 2). Climate action: potential carbon sequestration by tree species has been calculated in five Japanese gardens.-For conserving existing green infrastructure, multi-level management of green commons will be assessed. The Participatory Action Research (PAR) method has been used in workshops with public administrators, owners, communities, and the private sector for this assessment. The planning and acting of the PAR have been executed through ecotourism, citizen science wildlife survey, and joint maintenance.The article "The state-of-the-art and future research directions on sacred forests and ecosystem services" Authors: Alebel Melaku, Juan Pastor Ivars, Mesfin Sahle.
