- 요약Urban stormwater issues are a growing concern for our cities and communities. Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has emerged as an innovative measure that is widely implemented to treat stormwater runoff in urban areas. In addition to the environmental advantages, GSI provides numerous social and cultural benefits to urban communities. These include improving the aesthetic value of the neighborhood, increasing urban green space, and offering educational and recreational opportunities. However, the public's perception of the benefits of GSI has not been adequately studied, which creates a challenge for using GSI as a stormwater management measure and a placemaking tool to enhance people's quality of life. Furthermore, the contribution of GSI development to urban sustainability, especially in urban deprived areas, is uncertain in many countries including China.This dissertation utilizes a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to address the above challenges in the context of Chinese sponge city development. It aims to answer the following questions: 1) what are the general perceptions of GSI and its benefit promotion by the public and experts? 2) What is the public's willingness to pay for GSI programs to obtain ecosystem benefits? 3) How do pilot GSI programs contribute to old urban neighborhood sustainable regeneration, and have the lessons learned from pilot projects been reflected in the latest regeneration policies?The study findings offer decision-makers a pathway to a more public-desired GSI benefit promotion plan. The willingness-to-pay results provide evidence for designing stormwater utility programs that are more likely to receive financial support from the public. Furthermore, the study evaluates the sustainable performance of sponge-transformed old neighborhoods and identifies areas for improvement in the current regeneration policy to move towards a more sustainable path. In conclusion, this study contributes to the assessment of the social impact of GSI development and provides insights into GSI planning and policy design that enhances urban ecosystem benefits and people's quality of life. Additionally, it provides insights into necessary improvements in current policies and implementation of old urban neighborhood sustainable regeneration.
