dc.description.abstract | Increased urbanization carries socioenvironmental challenges that may be tackled by promoting green spaces as safeguards of sustainability and of the connection between users and the biosphere – reducing social inequalities, improving air quality, regenerating the ecosystem, and mitigating climate change impacts. Urban green spaces are the main drivers for increasing the quality of urban environments, potentializing local resilience, promoting sustainable lifestyles, as well as improving both the health and well-being of their users. The 11th goal of the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development states that societies must ensure universal access to safe, inclusive, and fully accessible public spaces. Nevertheless, cities are unequal spaces regarding the distribution of environmental resources, resulting in environmental injustice: the most vulnerable areas in socioeconomic terms are those that mostly experience environmental vulnerability, partially due to the lack of green spaces, the intensive road traffic - resulting in poor air quality and the increase of noise pollution – and the social segregation. The fair distribution of urban green spaces must be ensured in both quantity and quality in terms of their ecosystem services: provision, regulation, support, and cultural services. Municipal leaders are the main ones responsible for the maintenance of Gardens and Public Parks (GPP). However, current evidence identifies limited knowledge about urban green infrastructure governance, since the lack of data about PUGS is the main obstacle to effective intervention. Set against this background, this study aimed to identify clusters of ecosystem services potential in 25 GPP in the city of Porto, Portugal, through a validated tool application. Multivariate techniques allowed for the identification of predictor dimensions of ecosystem services potential, environmental quality, and facilities. Five PUGS clusters were validated: i) Environmentally Empowered and Socially Expectant Spaces, ii) Socioenvironmentally Empowered Spaces, iii) Environmentally Empowered but Socially Un-dynamic Spaces, iv) Socioenvironmentally Disempowered Spaces, and v) Socioenvironmentally Unexplored Spaces. Also, ecosystem service potential differs within the city and, in some cases, results in environmental injustice situations. These results are useful in the design of place-based intervention in PUGS, contributing to the increase of ecosystem services potential and in the improvement of urban environment quality and sustainability. Furthermore, instead of focusing on political-administrative jurisdictions, this methodological approach allows gains in scale and enhances ecosystem services potential at a municipal level. | pt_PT |
