エチオピアのデッシー市において、気候変動適応のための自然を基盤とした解決策（NbS）の実態と、住民の認識との乖離を調査。植林や段丘化など多様なNbSが導入され、健康・生態系への効果は高く評価されたが、経済・社会的便益の認識は低かった。住民参加と生計統合の必要性を示唆。
English
This study examines the gap between perceived and actual benefits of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for climate adaptation in Dessie City, Ethiopia. Using mixed methods, it finds that NbS like reforestation and terracing are widely implemented and highly valued for health and ecological benefits, but economic and social gains are less recognized. The study recommends integrating local livelihoods into NbS projects.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文はエチオピアの事例であり、日本のGX文脈（SSBJや有報等）との直接的な接点はない。ただし、気候適応策としてのNbSの効果測定と住民認識のギャップは、日本の地域防災やグリーンインフラ施策においても示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
While focused on Ethiopia, this study offers empirical evidence on the effectiveness and perception gaps of NbS for climate adaptation, relevant to global urban resilience and green infrastructure discourse. It underscores the need to align NbS with local economic benefits, a lesson applicable to many developing and developed contexts.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly advocated as cost-effective and sustainable strategies for boosting urban resilience to climate change. However, there is still limited empirical understanding of how communities in cities vulnerable to climate change and hazards perceive their advantages. This study evaluated the primary types of NbS implemented in Dessie City, Ethiopia, and explored the discrepancies between perceived and actual benefits of NbS across economic, social, health, and ecological dimensions. A sequential mixed methods approach was utilized, combining a household survey of 305 participants, key informant interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and field observations. The findings indicate that a variety of NbS, such as reforestation, hillside stabilization, riverbank protection, terracing, and watershed rehabilitation, are widely implemented, in hazard-prone areas of Dessie city. The actual health (mean > 4.00) and ecological (mean > 4.40) benefits of NbS were highly acknowledged by the local residents. These benefits, as perceived by the community, include improved air quality, decreased noise, increased biodiversity, and significant reductions in landslides, flooding, and soil erosion. However, the actual economic and social benefits of NbS were less aligned with community perceptions than expected. Social and Economic gains from NbS were only partially recognized, with limited impact on household income, local tourism and poverty alleviation among the list of achieved outcomes. Overall, though NbS greatly contributed to the improvement of public health and ecological resilience, the study highlights the need to enhance community engagement by integrating local livelihoods into NbS projects.
