Summary
This study introduces an emergetic assessment procedure to evaluate urban river de-pollution, addressing a gap in current methods. This approach enhances resource management and decision-making for river revitalization and preservation.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Science
- Ecosystem Management
- Resource Valuation
Background:
- Urban river de-pollution is complex, requiring effective evaluation methods.
- Existing emergetic indicators are insufficient for assessing urban river clean-up processes.
- Ecosystem services provided by urban water bodies necessitate robust valuation techniques.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel emergetic assessment procedure for urban river de-pollution.
- To provide a tool for improved monitoring and decision-making in river revitalization.
- To bridge the gap in emergetic indicator application for urban water bodies.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric and systematic review of existing literature on emergetic indicators and urban river de-pollution.
- Development and proposal of a structured emergetic assessment procedure.
- Analysis of the procedure's applicability for technicians, academics, and managers.
Main Results:
- A significant lack of emergetic indicators specifically for urban river de-pollution was identified.
- The proposed emergetic assessment procedure offers a framework for systematic evaluation.
- The procedure facilitates enhanced monitoring and informed decision-making in river clean-up.
Conclusions:
- The emergetic assessment procedure contributes to theoretical advancements in urban revitalization and nature preservation.
- It improves public resource management and the sustainable maintenance of urban rivers.
- The procedure supports early-stage monitoring, ensuring process sustainability and resource adequacy.
