ABSTRACT

Extensive urbanization is a major cause of landscape fragmentation, depletes natural habitats and affects climate change. An efficient counteraction is offered by the realization of green infrastructures (GIs). GIs contribute to ecological connectivity, increase ecosystem resilience, address climate change, and improve people’s wellbeing. The inclusion of GIs in spatial planning processes is important for mainstreaming environmental considerations in the design of sustainable cities. Despite the interest in the integration of GIs in urban planning theories and tools, few scientific works have tackled this issue systematically. This study aims at clarifying if – and to what extent – GI concepts are included in regional plans and programs adopted in Sardinia (Italy). We scrutinized the documents by using quali-quantitative content analysis based on criteria rooted in scientific literature and figured out that few plans and programs incorporate a clear definition of GIs. Most of them incorporate implicit references to GIs. Our results confirm other scientific evidence and open to future research works applied to the Sardinian and to other regional and national contexts.

摘要

广泛的城市化是景观破碎化、耗尽自然栖息地并影响气候变化的主要原因。绿色基础设施 (GI) 的实现提供了有效的应对措施。地理标志有助于生态连通性、增强生态系统复原力、应对气候变化和改善人们的福祉。将地理标志纳入空间规划过程对于将环境因素纳入可持续城市设计的主流非常重要。尽管人们对将地理信息系统纳入城市规划理论和工具感兴趣，但很少有科学著作系统地解决了这个问题。本研究旨在阐明是否以及在何种程度上将地理标志概念纳入撒丁岛（意大利）采用的区域计划和计划。我们使用基于科学文献标准的定性定量内容分析仔细检查了这些文件，并发现很少有计划和计划包含明确的地理标志定义。其中大多数包含对地理标志的隐含引用。我们的结果证实了其他科学证据，并对应用于撒丁岛和其他地区和国家背景的未来研究工作开放。
