1 Low density urban-touristic development and water consumption in private gardens: findings in the Mediterranean coast Elena Domene 1,2, Xavier Garcia 3,4, Albert Llausàs 2,3, Álvaro Morote 5, Josep Padullés Seminario Agua y Turismo Alacant, 1-2 October 2015
2 Introduction
3 Study area(s)
4 Methods 1- Random sample of dwellings in urban-touristic developments: Alicante 122 Barcelona 120 South Girona 240 North Girona Survey - Outdoors area + plant species + density = WUCOLS - Demographic profile, socio-economic profile, irrigation habits, behaviour, perception, maintenance and design, etc. 3- Land cover change Aerial photography + GIS Statistics PCA, Regression, Clustering, ANOVA, GLMM
5 1- Spatial-structural In Alicante single homes with swimming pools dominate and other areas where community gardens and shared pools are the norm. Swimming-pools are particularly abundant in Alicante, where 67% of the surveyed households have access to one. This percentage is considerably higher than those reported in the two study locations of Girona (48-59%) and the MRB (21%).
6 1- Spatial-structural In the MRB, the area devoted to the garden as a proportion of the total area of the household varies between the 43.6% in households belonging to the higher income group and 31.9% for those in the lower income group. The average proportion of plot surface occupied by garden is largest in the driest region, that of Alicante (41%), whereas the smallest is recorded in North Girona (32%). % % ,00 23,00 48,00 21,00 23, Alicante (succulent plants) MRB, lower income (bushes) MRB, high income (lawn) North Girona (ornamental plants) South Girona (ornamental plants) 5 0 Alicante MRB, lower income MRB, high income North Girona South Girona Main plant species Percentage of lawn
7 1- Spatial-structural Rainwater tanks are used often concurrently with other sources in a remarkable number of dwellings in South Girona (25% of cases) when compared to the other study areas (5-7%). Moreover, in the MRB private wells are used for garden irrigation in 20% of low-income residences. Main supply water for the garden (Public network) % Alicante MRB North Girona South Girona The use of a hose as an irrigation system is the most common method, employed in over 60% of the surveyed households. Nonetheless, in the two locations in Girona and in the MRB, more than 44% of lawn gardens are irrigated with sprinkler systems. An increasing use of drip irrigation systems associated with lawn and tree areas have been detected in Alicante dwellings.
8 2- Social-structural % Retired owners Socio-structural variables Income Household size Occupancy rate of the house Place of birth Water related variables Garden water needs Preferences for specific types of gardens Domestic/ Outdoor water consumption
9 2- Social-structural SOCIO-STRUCTURAL FACTORS Maintenance in terms of cost Maintenance in terms of time Purchase capacity of the household Income % Non-working members Level of education Etc. Availability of spare time in the household Number of residents % Retired owners Level of occupancy Etc.
10 3- Cultural and psychological Water conservation attitudes South Girona case study: Likert-type statements MRB case study: Behaviors (practices of sustainable gardening) Estimated water consumption in gardens (L/day/m2): Less water demand Landscaping behavior: Mesic (or Atlantic) type
11 3- Cultural and psychological Garden values South Girona case study: interest in gardening and garden for recreation Likert-type statements Estimated water consumption in gardens (L/day/m2): More water demand Landscaping behavior: vegetable and turf-grass gardens
12 3- Cultural and psychological MRB case study: Garden watering behaviour Watering under optimal needs (WUCOLS) Lower income group Higher income group Maintenance in term of cost/time Gardens as positional goods
13 Conclusion - In spite of differences in the study cases, plenty of evidence has been found supporting the existence of several factors influencing outdoor water consumption in these areas - Critical influence of the urban model: Atlantic gardens Swimming pools Relative lack of efficient irrigation/alternative sources - Practices and designs are heavily influenced by maintenance costs and time availability Sociodemographic and income profiles are important to design effective policies - Attitudinal and behavioural variables influence but lush gardens to gain social distinction and prestige > environmental concerns
