Journal Article
Friedman, R. S., Law, E. A., Bennett, N. J., Ives, C. D., Thorn, J. P., & Wilson, K. A. (2018). How just and just how? A systematic review of social equity in conservation research. Environmental Research Letters, 13(5), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aabcde

Background: Conservation decisions not only impact wildlife, habitat, and environmental health, but also human wellbeing and social justice. The inclusion of safeguards and equity considerations in the conservation field has increasingly garnered att... Read More about How just and just how?

The role of socio-economic factors in planning and managing urban ecosystem services (2018)
Journal Article
Wilkerson, M. L., Mitchell, M. G., Shanahan, D., Wilson, K. A., Ives, C. D., Lovelock, C. E., & Rhodes, J. R. (2018). The role of socio-economic factors in planning and managing urban ecosystem services. Ecosystem Services, 31A, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2018.02.017

How green spaces in cities benefit urban residents depends critically on the interaction between biophysical and socio-economic factors. Urban ecosystem services are affected by both ecosystem characteristics and the social and economic attributes of...

Reconnecting with nature for sustainability (2018)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D., Abson, D. J., Wehrden, H. V., Dorninger, C., Klaniecki, K., & Fischer, J. (2018). Reconnecting with nature for sustainability. Sustainability Science, 13(5), 1389-1397. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-018-0542-9

Calls for humanity to ‘reconnect to nature’ have grown increasingly louder from both scholars and civil society. Yet, there is relatively little coherence about what reconnecting to nature means, why it should happen and how it can be achieved. We pr...

Spatial scale influences how people value and perceive green open space (2017)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D., Gordon, A., Oke, C., Raymond, C. M., Hehir, A., & Bekessy, S. A. (2018). Spatial scale influences how people value and perceive green open space. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 61(12), 2133-2150. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2017.1388219

It is important for landscape planners and managers to understand how urban residents value and interact with green open spaces. However, the effect of spatial scale on values and perceptions of green open spaces has to date received little attention...

Equity trade-offs in conservation decision making (2017)
Journal Article
Law, E. A., Bennett, N. J., Ives, C. D., Friedman, R., Davis, K. J., Archibald, C., & Wilson, K. A. (2018). Equity trade-offs in conservation decision making. Conservation Biology, 32(2), 294-303. https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13008

Conservation decisions increasingly involve multiple environmental and social objectives, which result in complex decision contexts with high potential for trade-offs. Improving social equity is one such objective that is often considered an enabler... Read More about Equity trade-offs in conservation decision making.

Human–nature connection: a multidisciplinary review (2017)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D., Giusti, M., Fischer, J., Abson, D. J., Klaniecki, K., Dorninger, C., …Von Wehrden, H. (2017). Human–nature connection: a multidisciplinary review. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 26-27, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cosust.2017.05.005

In sustainability science calls are increasing for humanity to (re-)connect with nature, yet no systematic synthesis of the empirical literature on human–nature connection (HNC) exists. We reviewed 475 publications on HNC and found that most research... Read More about Human–nature connection: a multidisciplinary review.

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 61(5-6), 756-777. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2017.1327424

Existing frameworks for analysing interactions between social and natural systems (e.g. Social-Ecological Systems framework, Ecosystem Services concept) do not sufficiently consider and operationalize the dynamic interactions between people's values,...

Capturing residents’ values for urban green space: Mapping, analysis and guidance for practice (2017)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D., Oke, C., Hehir, A., Gordon, A., Wang, Y., & Bekessy, S. A. (2017). Capturing residents’ values for urban green space: Mapping, analysis and guidance for practice. Landscape and Urban Planning, 161, 32-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2016.12.010

Planning for green space is guided by standards and guidelines but there is currently little understanding of the variety of values people assign to green spaces or their determinants. Land use planners need to know what values are associated with di... Read More about Capturing residents’ values for urban green space: Mapping, analysis and guidance for practice.
