| description | This is a masters thesis of 30 hp made in the course Master Project in Landscape
Architecture (course code EX0814) in the programme Landscape Architecture –
Master´s Programme at the Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU) in
Alnarp, Skåne prefecture, Sweden. It was made in collaboration with a transfer
student program at Chiba University in Matsudo, Chiba prefecture, Japan.
The aim of this study was to evaluate ecosystem services in some of the parks of
Tokyo, Japan.
The meaning of the ecosystem services term has been used since
1976 when the report ”Man's Impact On The Global Environment” was released.
The report brings up different aspects from meteorology, oceanography, ecology,
chemistry, physics, biology, geology, engineering, economics, social sciences, and
law (Knox, 1976). The definition of the ecosystem services is what we, as humans,
can gain and benefit from the nature (Naturvårdsverket, 2018).
An ecosystem service Questionnaire was created in this study and it is built on
previous research on ecosystem services. A selection of the parks in central Tokyo
gave 11 parks to analyze. Those parks where visited, graded with a pointsscale,
and compared together by me.
The conclusions of the study reveals that all parks in Tokyo where well maintained
and clean, but it lacks effort in the terms of the ecosystem services. There is a clear
division where the bigger parks that got the higher grade and the smaller parks
that gets the lower grade.
There is a need for a wider and deeper continuing research in the subject of
ecosystem services in Tokyo. |

Detta är en masteruppsats på 30 hp som baseras på kusen Master Project in Landscape Architecture (kurskod EX0814) på masterprogrammet i Landskapsarkitektur på Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) i Alnarp i Skåne. Uppsatsen är gjord i samarbete med utbytesprogrammet mellan SLU och Chiba University i Matsudo kommun, i regionen Chiba, i Japan. Målet med denna studie är att utvärdera ekosystemtjänsterna på vissa parker i Tokyo, Japan. Innebörden av ekosystemtjänster och dess term har använts sedan 1976 då rapporten ”Man's Impact On The Global Environment” släpptes. Rapporten tar upp olika synvinklar från meteorologi, oceanografi, ekologi, kemi, fysik, biologi, geologi, teknik, ekonomi, samhällsvetenskap och juridik (Knox, 1976). Ekosystemtjänster beskriver det vi som människor kan dra nytta av från naturen (Naturvårdsverket, 2018). För denna studie så har ett specifikt utvärderingsverktyg för ekosystemtjänster konstruerats, baserat på tidigare forskning om ämnet. Av Tokyo stads alla 81 parker är ett urval av 11 stycken undersökta. Samtliga parker är besökta och värderade i ett poängsystem av mig. Dessa parker är sen stamanställda och jämförs avseende ekosystemtjänster grundat på frågorna i formuläret (benämns Ecosystem Service Questionnaire). Slutsats i denna uppsats är att alla parker är välskötta och rena men det funderar inte optimalt när det gäller ekosystemtjänster. Det syns ett mönster i att de stora parkerna som fått högre poäng, och de små som fått lägre. Studien visar att det kan finnas intresse för fortsatt och mer omfattande forskning när det gäller ekosystemtjänster.
