摘要

The non-material well-being derived from urban riverscapes should be prioritized, with Cultural Ecosystem Services (CESs) theory providing a key framework for analysis. Planning, design, and management activities in riverside spaces significantly alter the provision of CESs, particularly in highly urbanized areas where these activities directly determine public accessibility and availability of such services. Integrating these activities into CESs assessment frameworks is therefore critical. This study introduces a targeted landscape regulation analysis framework embedded in the Environment-Practice-Benefit cascade model to comprehensively examine dynamic interactions among human practices, perceptual activities, environmental space, and cultural benefits. An empirical investigation was conducted in riverside spaces of Lanzhou’s main urban areas, employing map-based questionnaires, spatial data collection, geographical information system analysis, and the Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) model. At the perception survey level, landscape regulation perception indices and cultural ecosystem benefits (CEBs) indices were quantified. At the value assessment level, landscape regulation indices were calculated based on diverse worker activities, followed by an evaluation of maximum CESs value indices to explore influencing factors of CEBs. Results show significant regional variations across all indices, with aesthetic and recreational values dominating CESs. Landscape design contributed most substantially to value assessment and shaped CEBs as a core factor. Landscape regulation perception correlated closely with inspiration and place attachment, while recreational, spiritual, and aesthetic values strongly associated with CEBs. Proposed strategies include optimizing planning layouts, innovating design schemes, and enhancing management efficiency to foster synergistic advancement between green urban development and human well-being, offering a scientific basis for ecological progress in the Yellow River Basin.
