Encouraging care for biodiversity through curated landscapes: community art and citizen science.

该项目调查了策展景观在鼓励公众关心生物多样性方面的作用。与我们的合作伙伴绿色地产公司（GE）合作，我们将围绕本地和非本地植物混合及其吸引传粉者的能力进行比较调查。在这个问题上，我们将与当地社区合作，在谢菲尔德市社会弱势地区的不同绿色公共区域使用预生长的草坪草垫。草坪草垫是预生长的系统，可以快速建立多年生草地。我们的合作伙伴，绿色地产，生产本地和非本地植物物种的草坪草地垫。由于项目时间较短，这些垫子将使我们能够快速建立草地，并通过公民科学和艺术社群活动评估策划景观如何激发公众关心生物多样性。在这个项目中，谢菲尔德大学景观建筑系的PI和RA与绿色地产合作，并在谢菲尔德绿色空间论坛的支持下，将分为三个阶段：第一阶段。在谢菲尔德市贫困地区的8个不同地点，共同设计绿色公共区域的草坪草垫（两种不同的种子混合物）干预措施。通过社区艺术和昆虫传粉者调查与公民科学策划景观活动。第3阶段。社区艺术和公民科学成果的临时展览。该项目的目标是：了解如何通过使用不同种子混合的草坪草垫，在绿色空间中共同生产干预措施，可以帮助社区将生物多样性空间整合到城市景观中。了解公民科学和社区艺术项目在多大程度上可以帮助激励社会弱势地区对生物多样性的关怀态度。测试两种不同的草坪草垫：a）本地草甸物种和B）本地草甸和非在谢菲尔德市的八个不同的城市绿色空间中，本地物种在吸引昆虫传粉者方面的有效性。这些目标的结果和产出将用于喂养并帮助影响最佳实践和政策。它们将使我们能够通过了解哪些活动可以鼓励公民积极参与和关心当地生物多样性，最大限度地利用分配用于保护生物多样性的资源。

This project investigates the role of curated landscapes in encouraging the public to care for biodiversity. Working with our partner Green Estate (GE), we will centre the project around a comparative investigation of native and non-native plant mixes and their ability to attract pollinators. We will engage the local community in this question using pre-grown turf meadow mats across different green public areas in socially disadvantaged areas in the city of Sheffield.Turf meadow mats are pre-grown systems that allow rapid establishment of perennial meadows. Our partner, Green Estate, produces turf meadow mats of native and non-native plant species. Due to the short project length, these mats will allow us to rapidly establish meadows and assess, through citizen science and art community activities, how curated landscapes can stimulate the public to caring for biodiversity.During this project, the PI and RA of the Department of Landscape Architecture of the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with Green Estate, and with the support of Sheffield Green Spaces Forum, will work on three stages:Stage 1.- Co-design interventions in green public areas with turf meadow mats (of two different seed mixes) in 8 different locations in deprived areas of the city of Sheffield.Stage 2.- Curated landscape activities through community art and insect pollinator surveys with citizen science.Stage 3. Temporary exhibitions of community art and citizen science findings.The objectives of the project are:To understand how the co-production of interventions in green spaces, through the use of turf meadow mats with different seed mixes, can help communities integrate spaces for biodiversity in their urban landscapes.To understand to what extent citizen science and community art projects can help incentivise an attitude of care for biodiversity in socially disadvantaged areas.To test two different turf meadow mats: a) native meadow species and b) native meadow and non-native species for their effectiveness in attracting insect pollinators in eight different urban green spaces in the city of Sheffield.The results and outputs of these objectives will be used to feed into landscape architecture guidelines and help influence best practice and policy. They will enable us to maximise the use of resources allocated for the protection of biodiversity by understanding which activities can encourage citizens to positively engage with and care for local biodiversity.
