ІНТЕГРОВАНА МЕТОДИКА ОЦІНКИ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ МІСЬКИХ АГРОСИСТЕМ У КОНТЕКСТІ СТАЛОГО РОЗВИТКУ
Abstract
The article presents an integrated methodology for evaluating urban agroecosystems in alignment with sustainable development principles. Highlighting the increasing significance of urban agriculture, the study emphasizes its role in enhancing urban resilience and ecological stability amidst rapid urbanization and resource strain. The methodology provides a comprehensive assessment of economic, social, and environmental impacts, demonstrating urban agroecosystems’ utility and alignment with long-term sustainability goals. The methodology was developed through a systematic review and critical analysis of literature and studies on urban agroecosystems. This helped identify existing assessment methods, highlighting their benefits and limitations while revealing gaps that justified the need for a holistic tool. The interdisciplinary synthesis integrated economic, environmental, and social evaluation components, creating a unified framework tailored to urban agroecosystems’ specific requirements. This synthesis ensures the methodology addresses the complexities of urban agriculture’s impact across various domains. An expert evaluation method, including consultations with specialists across fields, further refined the framework, verifying relevant indicators for urban agroecosystems. This expert input enhanced the methodology’s applicability and precision, effectively capturing the varied benefits and challenges of urban agriculture. The insights were then structured into a cohesive methodology with defined evaluation and decision-making criteria. The resulting methodology is a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and stakeholders in sustainable development. It offers a structured approach to decision-making, enabling evidence-based choices that consider local conditions and community needs. This methodology aids in integrating urban agriculture into broader urban planning initiatives, promoting sustainable food systems, reducing environmental impacts, and fostering social cohesion for resilient urban environments at both local and national scales.
