Social Valuation of Ecosystem Services in Fuzhou Fu Forest Trail
Based on the natural forest environment,urban forest trails provide diverse ecosystem services and values for urban residents,and the construction of urban forest trails is of great significance in enhancing public well-being.Still,only some studies at this stage focus on the ecological benefits of the areas where they are located.This paper breaks through the research on the social value of ecosystem services at the scales of forests,wetlands,and urban parks and takes Fu Forest Trail in Fuzhou,Fujian,as an example,sets the area within 40～60 m on each side of Fu Forest Trail as the study area,and combines the social media and other online text data to assess the social value of its ecosystem services by using the SoIVES model,and explores the relation-ship between its social value and environmental variables.The results show:(1)The maximum value index(M-VI)of the nine social value types of Fu Forest Trail was ranked from high to low as follows:aesthetic value＞recreational value＞therapeutic value＞spiritual value＞biodiversity value＞future value＞economic value＞cultural value＞historical value.(2)Distance from entrances and exits and distance from Fu Forest Trail had the most significant influence on the social value of the area,with vignettes,built-up land,water bodies,and forests having a more significant influence on social value.(3)The SolVES model was tested to have good performance for assessing the social value of ecosystem services in the landscape space of urban forest trails,and the assessment results were accurate and reliable.The study can provide suggestions for enhancing the social value of urban forest trails and further promote the enrichment and diversification of the social value of ecosystem services at the spatial level.
