Abstract
This study analyzed the impact of landscape patterns on flood regulation and recreation ecosystem services in Nagoya City in order to support urban planning that considers these effects. Using land use data of 2020 and the InVEST model, we evaluated the supply of each service in a spatially explicit manner. We then conducted spatial error regression analysis with landscape pattern metrics as explanatory variables. Our analysis revealed that the provision of flood regulation services depended primarily on the area of landscape elements such as forests and water bodies, whereas the spatial configuration of these elements had limited influence. In contrast, for recreation services, both the composition and configuration of landscapes were equally important. These results suggest the need for different spatial planning depending on the targeted services. This study contributes to developing of spatial planning methods that take into account the complex influences of landscape patterns.
