Environmental Attitudes toward Urban Nature

Breuste & Qureshi · 2011

Overview

Measures attitudes specifically toward urban nature — green spaces, urban wildlife, street trees, parks, and biodiversity within city environments. Assesses the degree to which urban residents value, appreciate, and support the preservation of nature within urban settings. Distinguishes between attitudes toward managed urban green spaces (parks, gardens) and spontaneous urban nature (weeds, urban wildlife, brownfield vegetation). Relevant for urban planning, green infrastructure policy, and urban ecology research.
