Communicating nature-based solutions to residents: how people want to be informed about measure implementation in Czechia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Issues such as adaptation to climate change in cities or provision of sufficient space for urban recreation in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic could be partly solved by implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS), which provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ES). Despite a significant increase in implementation of NBS in recent years, municipalities&apos; long-term efforts continue to face low interest and support from residents. Due to the limited resources city representatives prefer implementation of frequently demanded public services such as education, social services and health care. Effective communication is therefore one of the key success factors in the whole process of raising the support for most of the NBS-related policy decisions.The contribution will present the results of a survey that explored residents&apos; preferences towards the intensity and forms of communication at different stages of the NBS implementation processes and attitudes towards individual ES. Data were collected through face-to-face questionnaire surveys with residents of two medium-sized Czech cities (20-50 thousand residents). The results show that residents perceived the need to be informed about the implementation of measures differently based on the type of the measure (e.g. great interest at all stages in the case of a park revitalisation vs. lower interest in the case of the implementation of a permeable car park) and based on the stage of measure implementation (the initial idea, planning, preparation and implementation phases, maintenance). There are also significant differences in perceptions of the importance of individual ES (cultural ES are perceived as the most important). For each NBS it is therefore advisable not only to set the appropriate form and timing of communication, but also to focus on the communication of cultural ES, which people perceive very important. The importance of other ES should be promoted within pilot projects to raise awareness about them.
