Valoración de los servicios ecosistémicos urbanos desde un enfoque interdisciplinario.

Understanding the benefits of green and blue areas in a city is a key aspect for urban management to simultaneously meet multiple sustainability goals. In this work, the capacity of the ecological infrastructure (EI) of the city of Mar del Plata (Buenos Aires province, Argentina) to provide fourteen types of urban ecosystemservices (UES) was analyzed. To collect the existing knowledge on the subject, an approach based on obtaining local expert knowledge mediated by the Delphi technique was used. The work dynamics consisted of two rounds of anonymous online surveys and an open synchronous workshop in which the previously obtained results were discussed. Twenty-nine local experts from different disciplines were consulted, and they were divided into two groups that worked simultaneously. The results showed the relationships between the EI components and their ability to provide regulation cultural and regulation and maintenance UES. Based on the workshop carried out with local experts it was possible to investigate some properties of the EI that could intervene in the capacity to provide said UES. The local interdisciplinaryknowledge framework developed in this work represents a useful source of information in the current debate that is taking place in the city regarding the planning of sustainable urban contexts. In this sense, the work carried out allowed the extraction of a series of key learnings in the advancement of this research framework that could be useful in the adoption of specific interventions.
