Introducing accessibility analysis in mapping cultural ecosystem services [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2016 Abstract In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of the spatial link between service providing areas (SPA) and service benefiting areas (SBA). Understanding the spatial link between SPAs and SBAs is essential when studying the ecosystem service delivery and the fulfilment of ecosystem service demand.
