Introduction
INTRODUCTION
WHAT? WHERE?
WHY?
ES CBR Upper Silesia
UES „Real” border
The most exceptional part
Three closest to the border cities
KARVINA, CIESZYN, TRZYNIEC&SPATIAL AXE - OLZA
• Holistic approach to ES concept• CBR under construction• Quality of life
also
• Ethics of ES• Demand of ES
What kind of indicators?
METHOD DISCUSSION
• To illustrate tradeoffs and spill over's of specific cross–border urban ecosystem services, • To highlighte UESbenefits to these three cities• To discuss the subject of cross – border management of UES in the context of integrated land use strategies

Why Cieszyn, Karvina and Tryniec?

THE REGION
• Is a region is a „really existingthing” or an „idea”?
• Statistical / administrativeunits (NUTS)
• Region as a construct, the endproduct of a research process
• Region is conditioned bypolitics, culture, economics,governance and powerrelations
A landscape is more than apicturesque view! (Steiner,2008)Thinking in the “landscapescale” might help to avoidsimplifications offered bydifferent political andadministrative units, since thelandscape deals with territoriesthat are not constrained inparticular administrative unit orincluded in other (Jackson,1984; Spyra, 2013a)
THE LANDSCAPE THE BORDERNatural and non-natural borders(Van Houtum, 2005)
Good borders - created naturallyby important landscape elements.Bad borders - political ones,created mostly in turbulent timesof the first half of XX century.(Minghi, 1963). Us and Others
„Hard border” hampered bydifficult history, which makesdifficult to build trust betweencooperating actors (Knippschild,2010)
Also administrative boundaries
Part of Upper Silesia between Czech Republic and Poland

For planning:
• Diversity of stakeholders
• Boundary / border issue
Ecosystem Services
• Four categories (supporting, provisioning, regulating and cultural services) are not always appropriate (Seppelt et al., 2011, 2012; Wallace, 2007)
• The status of an ecosystem service is strongly influenced by human needs and the desired level of provision for this service by the society
• Cultural ecosystem services (Kumar and Kumar, 2008; Hansen-Möller, 2009): – Related more to the observer than to ecosystem conditions– There are subjective and value-laden. – Each individual and group has different value systems and demands (MA,
2005) influenced by several factors like experience, habits, belief systems, behavioral traditions and judgment, lifestyles
Method
ASSYMETRIES
Spatial
Administrative
• Supply–demand mismatches across cross-border landscapes. Normally demands are assessed not considering where ecosystem services actually are provided -> Ecosystemservices providing areas and ecosystem services benefitting areas.
• Detailed provision patterns will bring Footprints:– Ecosystem service footprint which (closely related to the ecological footprint’s
concept; Rees, 1992) calculates the area needed to generate particular ecosystem goods and services demanded by humans in a certain area in a certain time (Burkhard et al. 2012).
• A clear distinction between ecosystem functions, services and benefits is of high relevance (de Groot et al., 2010; Haines-Young and Potschin, 2010; Burkhard et al., 2010)
• An ecosystem service is only a service, if there is a (human) benefit. Without human beneficiaries, ecosystem functions and processes are not services
• Ecosystem services’ benefits must have a direct relation to human well-being. Nutrient cycling is an ecological function, not an ecosystem service (Boyd and Banzhaf, 2007).
Objectives
• Identification of cross border tradeoffs and mismatches in the provision of UES
• The identification of spatially explicit units for ES to which specific benefits can be assigned
• Focusing on supply-demand of services across the border
• Explore 2 spatially explicit approaches: – Hexagonal grid, to measure degrees of relative concentration
– Buffers, to measure proximity (tiver) functions
• Spatial continuity function ->
percentage of i land cover in
buffer j;
• ES supply and demand in
each buffer;

ES supply index for each CLC class(Burkhard et al., 2012)
0 = no relevant capacity
1 = low relevant capacity
2 = relevant capacity
3 = medium relevant capacity
4 = high relevant capacity
5 = very high relevant capacity
ES demand index for each CLC class(Burkhard et al., 2012)
0 = no relevant demand
1 = low relevant demand
2 = relevant demand
3 = medium relevant demand
4 = high relevant demand
5 = very high relevant demand
Supply (S): the capacity of a particular area to provide a specific bundle of ecosystem services within a given time period (Burkhard et al. 2012)
Demand (D): the sum of all ecosystem services currently consumed or usedin a particular area over a given time period.
Si = ViSSi
Si – the potential of i land cover class surface to supply ES services;
Vi – area of i land cover class [ha];
SSi – (index) the potential of i land cover class to supply ES services;
Di = ViSi
Di – the demand of i land cover class surface for ES services;
Vi – area of i land cover class [ha];
DSi – (index) the demand of i land cover class for ES services;
Bi = Si-Di
Bi – ES demenad and supply budget of i land cover class surface

Specific cross-border perspective
The methodology can be used to assess UES in other cross border
regions located in different parts of the world;
Each (?) cross border landscape can be characterized by certain
asymmetry on both sides of the border - the spatial and
administrative assymetryies;
The spatial asymmetry is evident while analyzing ES providing and
ES benefiting areas;
TAKE HOME MESSAGES
The spatial asymmetry is evident while analyzing ES providing and
ES benefiting areas -> ES connecting area – Olza river in part of the agglomeration (Syrbe & Walz, 2012). ;
Diversity of stakeholders - making the ES concept uderstandable
for the diverse stakeholders.
From „functions” into „services” in the CBL -> who has the
demand? and what kind of demand?
