Abstract

Rapid urbanization and population growth have led to drastic degradation of urban ecosystem regulation services (ERS). Urgently needed is the identification of vulnerable areas where ERS are being intensively deteriorated, and preparation of measures to respond to them. This study developed a framework to diagnose and prioritize vulnerable areas of urban ERS. The vulnerability of urban ERS that include carbon storage capacity, flood-risk mitigation capacity, and heat stress reduction capacity was diagnosed with a resolution of 100 m × 100 m grid. Priority areas to improve urban ERS were delineated using hot spot analysis, and the diagnosed results of the urban ERS were categorized by eight combination types including exposure, sensitivity, and adaptability. The spatial and societal problems included in the priority areas were further investigated by overlaying hot spot areas with eight combination maps. Finally, spatial management measures for the priority areas were suggested based on the analysis results. From the detailed diagnosis results of the vulnerable ERS areas, this study provides a framework to link the concept of ERS vulnerability with urban planning. Furthermore, effective spatial planning guidelines can be prepared to improve urban ERS by spatially delineating priority areas to improve urban ERS vulnerability.
