onorous Landscapes aims to address the challenge of engaging urban communities, urban design professionals, and policy makers in proactive biodiversity conservation within the context of urban woodlands and coppicing paddocks. Through Slough Borough Council's (SBC) Digital Urban Forest (DUF), the project will design and test the efficacy of innovative time-based methods for i) capturing changing levels of biodiversity through sound and ii) communicating these changes through creative digital methods that engage audiences with sensing and data. The research will encourage active community stewardship of SBC's green transition initiatives—specifically, the DUF's reforestation and rewilding activities. It will test the efficacy of its methods in changing perceptions of biodiversity and creating tangible evidence to support urban design and policy interventions that improve biodiversity. It will support climate and environment education initiatives that raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity in urban settings, spanning subjects from arts and humanities to design, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). By designing exemplary means of engaging stakeholders in measures and discourse regarding biodiversity, the research aims to increase stewardship of urban ecologies and embrace the societal changes that are urgently needed to address the climate crisis.The research will develop and pilot innovative unattended field-based recording methods, analysis, and creative time-based visualizations. It will build upon four sensor and creative communication projects previously delivered by the Research Associate Rupert Griffiths and funded by the Joy Welch Post-doctoral Fund, AHRC Impact Acceleration Account, Universität Bonn TRA Sustainable Futures fund, and the Urban Tree Challenge Fund (DEFRA). These projects have laid a solid foundation for the proposed project, developing and testing the underlying infrastructure, technologies, and engagement techniques.The research questions are:RQ1: What values do communities, design professionals, and policymakers attach to urban biodiversity and rewilding?RQ2: How can creative methods, bioacoustic sensors, and time-based visualizations articulate changes in biodiversity to broad audiences?RQ3: How does live information about biodiversity influence stakeholder values, engagement, and stewardship towards the environment?The research addresses challenges such as the need to uncover and understand values, perceptions, and cultural associations among urban communities towards biodiversity and rewilding. It aims to foster community engagement and involvement in conservation. By providing accessible live information about biodiversity within urban green spaces over various timescales, the project explores how data influences community engagement and values regarding biodiversity. This will contribute to green transition within cities and developing more sustainable and resilient urban ecosystems.

OnOlof Landscapes旨在应对在城市林地和养殖围场的背景下，在积极主动的生物多样性保护中吸引城市社区，城市设计专业人士和政策制定者的挑战。通过Slough Borough委员会（SBC）数字城市森林（DUF），该项目将设计和测试基于时间的创新方法的效率i）通过声音和II）通过声音和ii）捕获变化的生物多样性水平，ii）通过吸引敏感性和数据的创造性数字方法来传达这些变化。这项研究将鼓励社区积极管理SBC的绿色过渡计划，特别是DUF的重新造林和野生活动。它将测试其方法在改变对生物多样性的看法并创建有形证据以支持城市设计和政策干预措施以改善生物多样性的效率。它将支持气候和环境教育计划，以提高对城市环境中生物多样性重要性的认识，涵盖从艺术和人类到设计，科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的主题。通过设计使利益相关者参与有关生物多样性的测量和论述的示例手段，该研究旨在增加城市生态的管理，并拥抱急需解决气候危机所需的社会变革。研究将开发研究，并实现了创新的无关紧要的现场录音方法，分析，分析，创造性的，基于时间和基于时间的构想。它将建立在研究助理鲁珀特·格里菲斯（Rupert Griffiths）先前提供的四个传感器和创造性通信项目的基础上，并由Joy Welch博士后基金，AHRC Impact加速帐户，UniversitätBonn Tra可持续偶然基金和Urban Tree挑战基金（DEFRA）资助。这些项目为拟议的项目奠定了坚实的基础，开发和测试了基础基础架构，技术和参与技术。研究问题是：RQ1：社区，设计专业人员和政策制定者对城市生物多样性和重新野生的影响，与RQ2相关？观众？rq3：有关生物多样性的实时信息如何影响利益相关者的价值观，参与和管理环境？该研究应对诸如揭露和理解城市社区对生物多样性和复兴的价值观，认知和文化关联的需求等挑战。通过在各个时期内提供有关城市绿色空间内生物多样性的无障碍实时信息，该项目探讨了数据如何影响社区参与和关于生物多样性的价值观。这将有助于城市内部的绿色过渡，并发展更可持续和有弹性的城市生态系统。
