Cultural ecosystem services and the well-being of refugee communities

摘要: Abstract The growing field of research into cultural ecosystem services (CES) explores nonmaterial benefits that people receive from ecosystems. These studies have, however, largely overlooked refugee communities. To reduce this gap, we systematically review academic literature on interactions with ecosystems to understand what refugees may experience, and how these affect their well-being. results identify a broad range CES even though do not use terminology. Benefits include social relations, mental health, heritage, education, recreation, identity, sense place, aesthetic, spirituality, perspective, existence value. Results also show the majority refugee—ecosystem occur in agricultural Findings suggest ease resettlement process overall well-being, including many ways. findings enrich understanding experienced by diverse (and case traumatic) backgrounds provide practical implications for those who work resettlement.
