International Conference on Landscape & Human Health | Forests, Parks and Green Care - <http://bfw.ac.at/internationalconference> http://bfw.ac.at/internationalconference
The first call for papers and sessions will be announced in September 2016.
Today’s western societies are faced with a growing incidence of poor health because of mental stress and sedentary lifestyles. Natural and cultural landscapes are increasingly seen as restorative settings, compensating for negative psychophysiological effects on humans.
The Third International Conference on Landscape and Human Health | Forests, Parks and Green Care (17-19 May, 2017) provides a forum for the presentatios and discussion of recent developments in the following research topics:
- Landscape effects on human health and well-being
- Methods for assessing landscape effects on human health and well-being
- Biodiversity and human health and well-being
- Effects of landscape structures and types on human health and well-being
- Forests as restorative places (e.g. forest therapy, forest bathing)
- Impacts of green care offers (e.g. social impacts, effects on health, well-being)
- Social impact of landscapes
- Social inclusion (of fringe groups) fostered by landscapes and green care offers
This conference is a follow up to the Conferences Recreation and Health in Landscape and Forest and Landscape and Health:
Effects, Potential and Strategies that took place at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) in 2009 and 2012 and the 1st Austrian Conference on Forest and Human Health.

Betreff: Call for papers: Environmental Research - Special Issue of Environmental Research on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS)
Dear Colleagues,
Official approval has been granted by the Elsevier journal Environmental Research (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/environmental-research) to publish a Special Issue on the topic: Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for Resilient Landscapes and Cities: Innovative Strategies and Scientific Advances (guest-editors: Raffaele Lafortezza, Jiquan Chen, Cecil Konijnendijk van den Bosch and Thomas B. Randrup).
This Special Issue will feature original research, reviews, and synthesis studies. These manuscripts will contribute to the Special Issue by illustrating general theories and methods, generating and analyzing natural and social datasets, developing integrated modeling techniques, and presenting state-of-the-art research results. We believe that this focus issue will play a pivotal role in deepening our understanding of current knowledge, research gaps, and future research needs for nature-based solutions in response to global change. Three main topic areas of Environmental Research will be addressed by this SI, including:
- Global warming/climate change
- Air, soil, and water pollutants and health
- Risk analysis, risk assessment and risk management, and public health
The manuscript submission deadline is September 30, 2016. A guest editorial committee will work with the ER handling editors on the review process. Please refer to the attached PDF document for more information about the Special Issue aims and timeline.
For those who would like to contribute, please express your interest to submit paper(s) to the Special Issue by using the attached DOC form no later than April 30, 2016. Please send the form via email to <mailto:raffaele.lafortezza@uniba.it> raffaele.lafortezza(a)uniba.it
