In response to the dual challenges of urbanization and population growth, urban edible landscapes have emerged as innovative green infrastructure with the potential to address ecological, social, economic, and food security issues. This study systematically analyzes 3,089 publications from 2000 to 2024, sourced from the Web of Science database, using keywords such as ‘Edible Landscapes,’ ‘Edible Garden,’ ‘Rooftop Garden,’ ‘Community Garden,’ and ‘Productive Landscape.’ This study adopts bibliometric and visualization tools, such as CiteSpace and R, to systematically sort out and visualize the research hotspots, knowledge structure, emerging trends, and the evolution of this field. The analysis begins with a co-occurrence network of keywords, identifying core topics and evolving research trends. Cluster analysis further delves into various research themes, elucidating the field’s main directions and focal points. The paper highlights the multifaceted impacts of edible landscapes on urban ecosystems and residents’ well-being, emphasizing their critical role in promoting urban sustainability. Additionally, it outlines strategic recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders to enhance the implementation and expansion of urban edible landscapes in alignment with sustainable development goals. This research provides comprehensive insights into the historical evolution, status, and future trends of urban edible landscape studies, offering valuable guidance for policy development and practical innovation in both academic and real-world contexts.

Urbanization has significantly transformed ecological landscapes and created challenges in sustaining both environmental functionality and cultural values. In response, China’s Sponge City Infrastructure (SPI) aims to enhance urban water resilience by integrating green and blue infrastructure. While the ecological benefits of SPI have been widely studied, the cultural ecosystem services (CES) it provides remain underexplored. This study systematically reviews 61 empirical articles to evaluate how CES has been addressed in SPI-related research. Bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify CES research trends and to systematically categorize CES types, assessment methods, and evaluation indicators in SPI-related studies. The findings reveal a dominant use of non-monetary assessment methods, led by questionnaire surveys (47.5%), while monetary approaches were rarely applied. However, several limitations were identified, including the geographic concentration of studies in a few major cities, the scarcity of research on abstract CES categories (e.g., inspiration and sense of place), and the lack of measurable indicators in nearly half of the reviewed studies. To address these issues, this study proposes a context-specific CES assessment framework aligned with China’s socio-cultural conditions and planning priorities in sponge city development. The framework, based on the reviewed literature, provides a preliminary tool for evaluating CES in sponge city contexts. This work contributes to the integration of cultural ecosystem services into urban ecological planning and offers insights for sustainable development in rapidly urbanizing regions.

In the milieu of escalating flood occurrences, the concept of community resilience has garnered considerable attention. A series of studies recommend a river restoration approach to encourage the participation of all relevant stakeholders to manage floods to improve community resilience. However, existing studies have not sufficiently unraveled the intricate interplay of drivers shaping such participation. Therefore, using the Moat System Restoration Project in Tianchang City as the empirical conduit, this study elucidates the relationship between the drivers that drive stakeholder participation in river restoration in the context of improving community resilience. The Theory of Planned Behavior was employed to extend additional independent variables such as stakeholder attitudes, priorities, risk perception, trust in government decisions, knowledge, motivation, and intentions. A sample of 473 local residents involved in the Moat System Restoration Project was evaluated by Structural Equation Modelling. The empirical results revealed the salient influence of stakeholder attitudes, knowledge, and priorities on their behavior and risk perception where harnessing perceptions of priority has the potential to significantly improve community resilience. Notably, the study dispelled the presumed influence of trust on risk perception, a revelation that deviates from some existing literature. The findings further demonstrate a strong association between stakeholder motivation and both risk perception and intentions, a relationship underappreciated in previous studies. Theoretically, this study unearths the intricate dynamics of stakeholder participation in river restoration projects, thereby extending the Theory of Planned Behavior to the sphere of stakeholder participation, which adds a critical dimension to the understanding of flood management and community resilience. Practically, this study provides a valuable lens for practitioners as it illuminates pathways to foster stakeholder participation in river restoration initiatives, guiding the development of strategies to foster stakeholder participation in similar projects.

The driving factors have a critical effect on shaping stakeholder behavior toward participating in decision-making for river restoration initiatives. The participation of stakeholders is a vital determinant for increasing public confidence in the government and enhancing the acceptance of government decisions. Conversely, insufficient stakeholder participation in decision-making may lead to resistance to decisions on river restoration projects. Thus, the primary purpose of this investigation is to shed light on the complex interactions between the various drivers that underpin stakeholder participation in the context of the Moat System Restoration Project (MSRP). The extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) describes the relationships between seven drivers that have positively influenced stakeholder participation behaviors: stakeholder attitude, priority, risk perception, trust in government decisions, motivation, intention, and knowledge. The empirical underpinning of this research was obtained through a questionnaire survey conducted in Tianchang, China, encompassing a sample size of 473. The empirical findings discern that stakeholder attitudes vis-à-vis the MSRP favorably influence stakeholder participation behaviors. Additionally, stakeholder motivation and intention have been discerned as catalysts for heightened stakeholder participation behavior. These findings promise to furnish invaluable insights, benefit forthcoming river restoration initiatives, and equip decision-makers with a profound understanding of strategies to enhance stakeholder participation.

The risk management process is an integral part of all project activities and proportionally customized as one process. This paper prepared to review risk management process integration into the landscape architecture project lifecycle in Malaysia. Data collected from three completed landscape architecture projects studied through structured interviews and project document reviews. The data analyzed using content and thematic analysis. The study found the ineffective risk management process integration into the project lifecycle with the result of the incomplete, unplanned and intended process, and redundant activity ow. Specific integration strategies recommended accommodating landscape architecture project context for practical risk management applications.Keywords: risk management process; project lifecycle; landscape architecture projecteISSN 2398-4295 ©2020 The Authors.
