Cities are complex, socio-ecological ecosystems providing both opportunity and detriment to human health and well-being. Specifically, urban green (e.g., parks) and blue spaces (e.g., coastline) can restore human psychological well-being. In the Global South, where rapid urbanisation is posing challenges for biodiversity conservation and the mental well-being of urban human populations, there has been little research on understanding the social and environmental benefits of urban green and blue spaces, which could inform decision-makers seeking sustainable land-use planning interventions. Here, we use participatory video (using film to co-produce research) to explore the relationships people have with urban green and blue spaces in Georgetown, Guyana, and communicate these findings to decision-makers. Short films created and discussed by city residents highlighted how specific characteristics of green and blue spaces contributed to restorative quality, a sense of place, and alleviated stress. At the same time, locally specific nuances were also revealed, such as folklore associated with urban wildlife and the importance of monuments framing Guyana's complex history. A composite film was screened to government ministries, park managers, and the Mayor and City Council, who articulated intentions to change the way these spaces were managed (e.g., maintaining specific features, encouraging visitation, raising awareness, and increasing the planned distribution of new spaces). We demonstrate how participatory video can allow participants to reflect on and change their interactions with urban green/blue spaces, while facilitating a unique and engaging dialogue between multiple stakeholders, with important, applied implications for both public health and biodiversity conservation.

使用参与式视频与决策者分享人们对新热带城市绿地和蓝色空间的体验

城市是复杂的社会生态系统，既为人类健康和福祉提供了机会，也带来了损害。具体而言，城市绿地（例如公园）和蓝色空间（例如海岸线）可以恢复人类的心理健康。在全球南方，快速的城市化对生物多样性保护和城市人口的心理健康提出了挑战，很少有研究了解城市绿色和蓝色空间的社会和环境效益，这可以为决策者提供信息寻求可持续的土地利用规划干预措施。在这里，我们使用参与式视频（使用电影共同制作研究）来探索人们与圭亚那乔治敦城市绿色和蓝色空间的关系，并将这些发现传达给决策者。城市居民创作和讨论的短片强调了绿色和蓝色空间的具体特征如何有助于恢复质量、地方感和缓解压力。同时，还揭示了当地特有的细微差别，例如与城市野生动物相关的民间传说以及构成圭亚那复杂历史的纪念碑的重要性。向政府部门、公园管理人员以及市长和市议会放映了一部综合影片，他们明确表达了改变这些空间管理方式的意图（例如，保持特定功能、鼓励参观、提高认识以及增加新空格）。我们展示了参与式视频如何让参与者反思和改变他们与城市绿色/蓝色空间的互动，
