Healthcare settings are increasingly adopting nature-based interventions (NBIs) to support users’ health and well-being, but these interventions are often underutilized. To get a grip on utilization problems, insight into factors that affect use and uptake of NBIs in routine care is needed. This scoping …

Climate change requires cities to adapt to heat, drought, and high-intensity rainfall to become resilient. In the Netherlands, more than 74% of population lives in urban areas. Many Dutch cities have intensified their efforts to become climate resilient and water-robust by 2050. One of the strategies …

This work describes the design, implementation and validation of an autonomous gas leakage inspection robot. Navigation with centimeter level accuracy is achieved using RTK GNSS integrated using the ROS 2 and Nav2 frameworks. The proposed solution has been validated successfully in terms of navigation …

SuDS DNA citiesClimateScan is an open source interactive web-based map application for international knowledge exchange on 'blue-green' (BGI) / NBS / SUDS projects around the globe.

Consistency issues limit the sharing of horticultural data across multiple systems, resulting in challenges for users to analyze data effectively across various systems utilizing artificial intelligence technology. Introducing data governance principles can help standardize and unify data practices, …

Citizen science can be a powerful approach to foster the successful implementation of technological innovations in health, care or well-being. Involving experience experts as co-researchers or co-designers of technological innovations facilitates mutual learning, community building, and empowerment. …

The inefficiency of maintaining static and long-lasting safety zones in environments where actual risks are limited is likely to increase in the coming decades, as autonomous systems become more common and human workers fewer in numbers. Nevertheless, an uncompromising approach to safety remains paramount, …
