This study aims to analyze the relationships between the provision of ecosystem services, the various attributes of green spaces, and the characteristics of urban areas, by using the Italian city of Cagliari as the primary focal point of investigation. Within the urban environment, a set of reg-ulating ecosystem services has been identified as particularly significant, and its interplay with the spatial configuration of green spaces within urban environments is assessed in detail. These ecosystem services encompass crucial facets such as heat regulation, carbon sequestration and storage, and the effective management of surface runoff, of outmost importance to mitigate flood events

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationships between the provision of ecosystem services, the various attributes of green spaces, and the characteristics of urban areas, by using the Italian city of Cagliari as the primary focal point of investigation. Within the urban environment, a set of reg-ulating ecosystem services has been identified as particularly significant, and its interplay with the spatial configuration of green spaces within urban environments is assessed in detail. These ecosystem services encompass crucial facets such as heat regulation, carbon sequestration and storage, and the effective management of surface runoff, of outmost importance to mitigate flood events
