dc.description.abstract | With the ecosystem services (ES) discourse increasingly influencing the design of urban space and the valuation of environmental features (e.g. TEEB 2011), it is important to understand how inhabitants appropriate urban areas in their everyday lives, potentially ‘missing out on’ some ecosystem services but perhaps accessing other, as yet unarticulated benefits and dis-benefits. This paper reports on research that engages in-depth interviews and a walking methodology employing a smart phone app to access the contingent and subjective nature of experienced value of any services or dis-services derived from the environment by humans in two case study areas in the region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Both case study areas integrate formal and informal settlement, and constitute significant sources of water provision for metropolitan consumption. | |
