Thanks to our marvellous team , especially @markalangreen , we will conduct further research on the topic, and we have the following CFP at the coming @RGS_IBG conference , looking forward for further discussion.

@RiikkaEra Exciting introduction on the phdstudents.space server. I sidestepped from #WildlifeConservation and #Ecology to #Geography, using #data for monitoring #Urban Green and Blue Spaces (#UGBS). All new territory I am enjoying immensely.

Recently seen an interview with Richard Hammond regarding his experience in a coma and he directed his story to a memorable experience in a #green space. It demonstrates the value for research of #urbanised green spaces and how the implementation can introduce opportunities for people to create memorable #experiences. Positive memorable experiences can benefit people with #non-communicable #diseases such as #dementia or #Alzheimer's and #UGBS can offer this. @urbangreenbluespaces

Informative differentiation between green infrastructure and green space by Dr Wenjing Zhang. A great insight into #GroundsWell and data implementation for mapping urban green and blue spaces (UGBS) at the Turing #UrbanAnalytics #conference.

I may be biased being a PhD student alongside GroundsWell, however #UGBS can significantly benefit physical and mental well-being, alongside environmental and biodiversity benefits. Essential research for public health! @urbangreenbluespaces #GeoHealth #PhD

What makes urban green and blue spaces accessible for you? @urbangreenbluespaces

I find accessible #UGBS to belong as safe environments, well facilitated with features to assist each #demographic without inequality or injustice.

How about you?

For the #GeoHealth users on Mastodon. I created a group as an example of how I created @phdstudents for another user.

The new group is @urbangreenbluespaces and could be great to collate research based on the benefits of green/blue spaces for public #health, the #environment and #wildlife.

Literature has shown #UGBS to have #holistic benefits both for #physical and #mental #well-being, alongside increasing urban #attractiveness and providing biodiversity improvements.

Urban Green and Blue Spaces (UGBS) are great for mental and physical wellbeing offering a plethora of opportunities to relax, unwind and exercise. But, do UGBS provide accessibility for everyone?

How do you use UGBS? Myself, a mix of hiking, bird watching and dog walking, to immerse myself in nature.

(I hope the photo sphere works in Mastodon)
