Rural Landscape Services from food security to better environment within greenbelts of metropolitan areas
May 14, 2015
This presentation by Dr Agata Cieszweska from the Warsaw University of Life Sciences focuses on greenbelts and greenbelt research, their different functions which also differ from city to city and what conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of those greenbelts.

Green belts
Agata Cieszewska, Joanna Adamcyk How green is the Greenbelt? 15-18.04.2013, UT, Austin, Texas
- system of open spaces in urban fringe /within metropolitan area/
- belt / wedges / areas
structure
tool
- planning instrument formed to limit urban sprawl

System of protected open areas
Green network
similar aim and idea of application vs. different approaches
system of open spaces that surrounds the city
system of green wedges that split development areas
system of open spaces which is located inside the group of cities (polycentric regions)system of protected open spaces within metropolitan areaecological network in metropolitan area
Fuctions of Green belts
Structural Functions (Carrier ES)Separating cities from each other
To check the further growth of large built up area
Preserve openness, Allows/controls some growth

Feeding function
(Provisioning ES)Preserving farmland, Preserving forest
Preserving resources mineral extraction

Recreation (Cultural ES)Recreation activities
Amenity (leisure facilities)

Environmental function (Regulation ES)Preserving natural environments

Main Goals
- Idea of protection of open spaces within metropolitan areas reflect different structures / tools
BUT - Beside feeding function that secure food / timber production
There are many different functions:
- Environmental: erosion control, flood control, local climate control, water resources - Ecological : biodiversity and connectivity protection- Cultural – recreation…
Conclusions:
Invisible in greenbelt strategies - Environmental function
