Linking cultural ecosystem service and urban ecological-space planning for a sustainable city: Case study of the core areas of Beijing under the context of urban relieving and renewal

Residents' perception of cultural ecosystem services (CES) in Beijing's core areas is significantly influenced by the proximity to historically valuable ecological spaces, particularly along the central axis. While community-level ecological spaces are most frequently used, their provision remains inadequate. Notably, educational CES values scored lowest among residents, highlighting a gap in urban planning that could be addressed through conservation and improved accessibility of historical sites. This study underscores the potential for integrating CES perceptions into urban renewal strategies to enhance sustainability and resident well-being in high-density cities.
