Abstract Urban green spaces are integral components of urban landscapes and the cultural ecosystem services afforded to human populations by these green spaces are of particular relevance to human and societal well-being. Urban green spaces provide opportunities for human interaction, physical activity and recreation, stress alleviation and mental restoration, economic opportunity, cultural activities and interactions with nature. To understand how these benefits are received by human populations it is vital to understand when and how individuals interact with urban green spaces. The rapid development and uptake of technologies such as smart phones, social networks and apps provides new opportunity to investigate the human interactions occurring in urban green spaces. Using the city of Birmingham as a case study, this thesis aims (i) to demonstrate the utility of data obtained from smart device enabled platforms (social networks and apps) in understanding socio- ecological interactions in urban areas and (ii) to evaluate the utility of these data sources for researchers and policy makers. The successful identification of a range of socio-ecological interaction suggest these data sources provide a viable method of investigating such interactions; however, there remain a number of limitations to consider to ensure they are employed appropriately in research contexts. Acknowledgements The development and production of this thesis was made considerably easier thanks to a number of individuals. I am indebted to my supervisors Professor Jon Sadler and Professor Lee Chapman for their guidance, enthusiasm and optimism, without which the research and production of this thesis would have seemed an impossible task. I would also like to extend thanks to Dr Phil Jones for providing support and encouragement to engage with opportunities beyond those which are standard to PhD research. I gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Dr Bernd Resch and his colleagues who provided the semi-supervised learning algorithm presented in Chapter Six. His expertise and commitment to the project were significant influences in the success of the resulting paper from this chapter. I would also like to thank Simon Bell for obtaining and providing the Netatmo datasets used in Chapter Four. I am grateful to my colleagues in the 225 postgraduate office for their support, advice and friendship. Thank you for providing a welcoming and enjoyable working environment. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their constant support and encouragement in my endeavours, and for believing in me when I struggle to believe in myself. This research was made possible by financial support from an Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) studentship (EP/L504907/1). Table of Contents 1.

  • A History of Castle Vale
    A HISTORY OF CASTLE VALE By Geoff Bateson INTRODUCTION Castle Vale is a modern housing area on the north-eastern edge of Birmingham. It is unique in many ways and has gone through distinct sets of changes. The things that most people noticed on their first visit to the area, when it was first built as a housing estate, was the flat and open landscape and the very distinct boundaries which seemed to almost cut Castle Vale off from the rest of the city to make a little island of people. These features have recently been changed, and will continue to change into the future, but each change is dictated by past developments. To understand what an area is like now, it is important to understand its history. The history of the Castle Vale area can be traced backwards, layer by layer and then built up again as a sequential record of those things that made the area what it was at each stage of its development. This booklet follows the changing fortunes of the small area of land known as Castle Vale from its beginnings as a swampy forest, through the feudal times of battling barons, through the growing industrialisation of Birmingham to the First World War, on through its life as an airfield, finally to the construction of the modern housing estate and the very recent improvements to that area. From time to time little excursions will be taken into the wider history of the region but only in order to set the very local events within their wider setting and make them even more interesting than they already are.
