16 p, 10.2 MB Unequal access to cultural ecosystem services of green spaces within the city of Rome : A spatial social media-based analysis / Benati, Giulia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Calcagni, Fulvia (University of Haifa. Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management) ; Matellozzo, Federico (University of Florence. Department of Economics and Management) ; Ghermandi, Andrea (University of Haifa. Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management) ; Langemeyer, Johannes (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals)
This groundbreaking study sheds new light on the unequal distribution of cultural ecosystem services (CES) within Rome's urban green spaces (UGS). Employing a novel methodology, we assess UGS quality through georeferenced social media data from Twitter, evaluate the green cover of UGS, and assess accessibility to these spaces using network analysis in a GIS environment.
