Abstract:
Promotion of public health is one of the most important benefits of ecosystems. Nevertheless, the relationship between ecosystems and social health\' needs is not well understood. Therefore, a study was done to investigate the potential of natural (forests and rangelands) and artificial (urban parks and gardens) ecosystems in ensuring the five dimensions of public health (i.e. physical, mental, spiritual, social and environmental) in the social systems (urban and rural societies). Therefore, 47 health indicators were used in order to relate different ecosystems and social\' needs to five dimensions of public health through questionnaire. The results indicated that natural ecosystems had the greatest potential in providing mental, spiritual and environmental health due to ecological characteristics of wilderness and aesthetic. The artificial ecosystems had the greatest potential in providing physical and social health due to their easy access. However, there was a match between social health\' needs and ecosystem potential in the rural areas. The study highlighted the need for promotion of ecological indicators related to mental health in urban areas by enhancing silence and aesthetic in artificial ecosystems. Presented framework can provide comprehensive information on the weaknesses and strengths of different ecosystems to promote public health based on social needs and fixing the weaknesses of artificial ecosystems in urban areas.
摘要:
促进公共卫生是生态系统最重要的好处之一。然而,生态系统与社会健康需求之间的关系还没有得到很好的理解。因此,进行了一项研究,以调查自然(森林和牧场)和人工(城市公园和花园)生态系统在确保公共卫生的五个方面的潜力(即物理,心理,精神,社会和环境)在社会制度(城市和农村社会)中。因此,使用了47个健康指标,以便通过问卷调查将不同的生态系统和社会需求与公共卫生的五个方面联系起来。结果表明,自然生态系统在提供精神,精神和环境健康由于生态特性的荒野和审美。人工生态系统由于容易获得,在提供身体和社会健康方面具有最大的潜力。然而,农村地区的社会健康需求与生态系统潜力之间存在匹配。该研究强调需要通过增强人工生态系统的沉默和美学来促进与城市地区心理健康有关的生态指标。提出的框架可以提供有关不同生态系统的弱点和优势的全面信息,以根据社会需求促进公共卫生,并修复城市地区人工生态系统的弱点。
