Developing indicators to assess the capacity of green spaces to deliver recreational ecosystem service (RES) is essential but challenging because recreation is an intangible ecosystem service that is subjective among individuals. The purpose of this paper is to develop indicators for assessing the RES delivering capacity of the existing green spaces to assist green space planning in Little Akaki River catchment, located in central Ethiopia. The development of indicators follows the identification of indicators, conceptualization, calculation, communication, and ranking of indicator phases. We involved the society in identification of indicators, conceptualization, and communication phases. The result reveals six prioritized indicators such as greenness of the site, availability of water features, degree of naturalness, type of landform, proximity to residence, and existing activities in the green spaces. These indicators were then broken down into measurable metrics for the society to rank according to their preference. The result shows that people prefer more vegetated areas, direct contact with water features, natural areas with less human interference, passive recreational activities, a mixture of different landform types, and 5–25 min walking distance from their residences. We recommend that planners, policymakers, and green area administrators in Ethiopia consider these indicators in assessing the current capacity of green spaces to deliver RES and in future recreational area development.

评估城市绿地休闲生态系统服务能力的指标制定-参与式方法

开发指标以评估绿地提供休闲生态系统服务(RES)的能力是必不可少的,但具有挑战性,因为休闲是一种无形的生态系统服务,在个人之间是主观的。本文的目的是开发指标,以评估现有绿地的RES输送能力,以协助埃塞俄比亚中部小阿卡基河流域的绿地规划。指标的开发遵循指标的识别,概念化,计算,沟通和指标阶段排名。我们让社会参与指标的确定,概念化和沟通阶段。结果揭示了六个优先指标,例如场地的绿色程度,水景可用性,自然程度,地形类型,靠近住宅,以及绿色空间中的现有活动。然后将这些指标分解为可衡量的指标,以供社会根据其偏好进行排名。结果表明,人们偏爱更多的植被区域,与水直接接触的区域,受人为干扰较少的自然区域,被动的娱乐活动,多种地貌类型的混合体以及距离其住所5至25分钟的步行距离。我们建议埃塞俄比亚的规划者,政策制定者和绿地管理员在评估当前绿地提供RES的能力以及未来休闲区的发展时,应考虑这些指标。结果表明,人们偏爱更多的植被区域,与水直接接触的区域,受人为干扰较少的自然区域,被动的娱乐活动,多种地貌类型的混合体以及距离其住所5至25分钟的步行距离。我们建议埃塞俄比亚的规划者,政策制定者和绿地管理员在评估当前绿地提供RES的能力以及未来休闲区的发展时,应考虑这些指标。结果表明,人们偏爱更多的植被区域,与水直接接触的区域,受人为干扰较少的自然区域,被动的娱乐活动,多种地貌类型的混合体以及距离其住所5至25分钟的步行距离。我们建议埃塞俄比亚的规划者,政策制定者和绿地管理员在评估当前绿地提供RES的能力以及未来休闲区的发展时,应考虑这些指标。
