Abstract
Next to the effects imposed by Climate Change, rapid urbanization is seen as one of the major threats to biodiversity, including pollinator biodiversity and ecosystem services. Knight et al. (2018) argued that the investigation of the impacts of urbanisation on ecosystem services is hindered by the limited studies focusing on pollination ecology. The urban ecosystem is complex, as manmade elements are intertwined with natural elements (Lepczyk et al., 2017). Limited urban planning guidance related to ecosystem services exists due to an inadequate understanding of the interactions between complex systems and bumblebees. Given the importance of pollination services to urban biodiversity, it is essential to integrate ecosystem service consideration into urban planning for a healthy and sustainable city. This research explores the impacts of the urban built environment on the movement of bumblebees concerning green connectivity. The study develops an agent-based modelling framework to improve urban ecosystem services, with pollination service as a specific example of one ecosystem service in the city. The data-driven framework serves as an urban planning tool to investigate the interaction between ecological research and urban planning (Fricker et al. , 2020). Helsinki serves as a case study city to exemplify the application of the design framework, offering guidance in assessing urban pollination services and presenting a design toolkit for enhancing these services.Description
