          Abstract

          Abstract The factors that can influence the environmental valuation of urban forest fragments (UFFs) in two neighborhoods of the city of Manaus (AM) were assessed. The valuation data were obtained through the technique of pile sorting followed by ranking, considering 14 socioenvironmental attributes. Most of the residents (59%, N = 69) mentioned positive feelings (topophilia) regarding the conservation of the fragments in the urban landscape. The attributes associated with the ecocentric vision were those that received the highest positive values, followed by anthropocentric attributes associated with the direct non-consumptive use of environmental resources, such as “aesthetic” and “learning”. Residents who live closer tended to value the fragment more than distant residents, and the opposite occurred when there was an association between the presence of the fragment and violence and crime in the neighborhood. Among the socioeconomic variables investigated, only the time as a resident seemed to be related to the way the city residents value these forest remnants.

          Resumo Avaliaram-se os fatores que podem influenciar a valoração ambiental de fragmentos florestais urbanos (FFUs) em dois bairros da cidade de Manaus (AM). Os dados de valoração foram obtidos mediante a técnica de agrupamento de cartas seguida de ordenamento, considerando-se 14 atributos socioambientais. A maioria dos moradores (59%, N=69) mencionou sentimentos positivos (topofilia) em relação à permanência dos fragmentos na paisagem urbana. Os atributos associados à visão ecocêntrica foram os que receberam os maiores valores positivos, seguido de atributos antropocêntricos associados à usos diretos não consuntivos dos recursos ambientais, tais como “estético” e de “aprendizagem”. Moradores mais próximos tenderam a valorizar o fragmento mais do que os moradores distantes, ocorrendo o inverso quando houve associação direta entre o fragmento e a violência e a criminalidade na vizinhança. Dentre as variáveis socioeconômicas investigadas, apenas o tempo de moradia pareceu estar relacionado com o modo como os citadinos valorizam esses remanescentes florestais.

Los residentes más cercanos tienden a valorar el fragmento más que los vecinos distantes, ocurriendo lo inverso cuando hubo asociación directa entre el fragmento la criminalidad en la vecindad. Entre las variables investigadas, sólo tiempo de vivienda pareció estar relacionado con el modo en que citadinos valoran remanentes forestales.

            Urban forests and pollution mitigation: analyzing ecosystem services and disservices.

            The purpose of this paper is to integrate the concepts of ecosystem services and disservices when assessing the efficacy of using urban forests for mitigating pollution. A brief review of the literature identifies some pollution mitigation ecosystem services provided by urban forests. Existing ecosystem services definitions and typologies from the economics and ecological literature are adapted and applied to urban forest management and the concepts of ecosystem disservices from natural and semi-natural systems are discussed. Examples of the urban forest ecosystem services of air quality and carbon dioxide sequestration are used to illustrate issues associated with assessing their efficacy in mitigating urban pollution. Development of urban forest management alternatives that mitigate pollution should consider scale, contexts, heterogeneity, management intensities and other social and economic co-benefits, tradeoffs, and costs affecting stakeholders and urban sustainability goals.
