TL;DR: In this paper, a case study for the Lambro River Valley Park is used to illustrate the methodology proposed, which is structured in four phases: analysis of the landscape resources, the existing green trail and historical route networks; assessment of each element; composite assessment; and definition of the Greenways Plan.

TL;DR: The results show that the perceived level of restorativeness is associated with the sense of connection to Nature, as well as the biophilic quality of the environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the possibility of extending the application of the UET method to an area, such as the ''Parco del Serio' (Italy), characterized by an environment rich in natural features but profoundly modified by human intervention, in order to define a ''plan of the environmental preconditions' to be adopted during a sustainable planning process and which indicates the restrictions and the potential for development of human activities (with particular regards to tourism and recreational activities) in relation to the existing environmental resources and the ecological stability of the territory.

TL;DR: The SOS tool fills a gap in the available environmental assessment instruments, providing a reliable way for researchers, providers, and designers to evaluate and compare the supportive potential of outdoor spaces for long-term care residents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a transferable working tool able to support decision-making and land-use planning processes related to the conversion of disused railway lines into greenways in mixed urban-rural contexts.
