Cemeterial areas are an integral part of any urban ecosystem. The flora of cemeteries is diverse due to the large number of introduced species. This fact also implies species diversity in the macromycete biota, which is of interest for further study. Until now, special studies of mycobiota in cemeteries in Volgograd have not been conducted. We have examined three cemeteries in different districts of Volgograd City. Mushroom collection has been carried out by the route method from September to November 2019. To identify the samples we have applied standard light microscopy methods in the laboratory of Experimental biology of Volgograd State University using the guides of wellknown mycologists. Nikon D3500 SLR camera was used for shooting mushrooms. The collected species are stored in the Mycological herbarium of Volgograd State University. As a result we present an annotated list of cemeteria fungi, including 17 species, such as Agaricus arvensis Schaeff., A. xanthodermus Genev., Auricularia mesenterica (Dicks.) Pers., Coprinellus micaceus (Bull.) Vilgalys, Hopple et Jacq. Johnson, Crucibulum laeve (Huds.) Kambly, Hydroporus marginellus (Pers.) Singer, Lepista personata (Fr.) Cooke, Lycoperdon perlatum Pers., Mycena ssp., Myriostoma coliforme (Dicks.) Corda, Phellinus pomaceus (Pers.) Maire, Pilatotrama ljubarskyi (Pilát) Zmitrovich, Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm., Psathyrella conopilea (Fr.) A. Pearson et Dennis, Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis (Bull.) Singer, Stropharia melanosperma (Bull.) Gillet, Tulostoma brumale Pers. Each annotation includes the date of collection, data on habitats and substrates inhabited by the species, as well as the occurrence of the species. The last index states ‘rare’ if we have no more than 5 finds, ‘often’ – 6–20 finds, ‘frequent’ – 21–50 finds, and ‘very often’ – more than 50 finds. The trophic analysis of the macromycete composition has revealed that all the found species belong to the saprotrophic group. Among them, the largest number of species was recorded on dry and dead wood (10 species). The further research of the diversity of fungi in these areas is necessary.

Cemeteries are typical urban fixtures occupying a vast portion – at least 0.5% – of municipal territories. However, urban economists have generally neglected this topic to date. Our paper establishes the main determinants of pricing for burial plots, excluding columbaria. We analyse the prices proposed by 185 cemeteries from 42 large French cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. We use a specified Ln-Ln hedonistic model. Our results highlight the complexity of cities’ pricing, as these strategies imply the combination of several determinants, such as the main features of the burial concessions (term, surface area, location within the boundaries of the cemetery, etc.), the environment defined within and outside the cemetery (type of cemetery, cemetery’s surface area, existence of verdant areas, etc.) and various other urban features (population structure, real estate prices, purchasing power).

Abstract Growing urban land development has led to a reduction in the space available for cemeteries and the juxtaposition of residential and cemeterial areas, further raising the polluting potential of the latter. The present case study sought to assess levels of physicochemical and microbiological contamination in the Central Cemetery of Marau (RS/Brazil), and propose vertical cemetery deployment as a way to reduce necroleachate-linked pollution impacts. The following information was collected from 43 additional rural cemeteries: number of tombs, graves, chapels, and small vertical constructions with drawers, state of conservation and cleanliness and total area and perimeter of the cemetery. Eighty professionals of environmentally sustainable urban planning from four countries (20 Brazilians, 20 American, 20 Portuguese and 20 Japanese) were interviewed regarding the ‘ideal cemetery’. Various risks of cemetery soil contamination were identified, particularly high amounts of heterotrophic microorganisms, especially fecal coliforms associated with burial sites. In order to avoid contamination risks to environment and population, the mplemention of a vertical model of cemetery is proposed.

Location of contemporary communal cemeteries in Poland The main purpose of this paper is to characterise contemporary communal cemeteries and to develop a typology of these facilities from the point of view of its location. The main criteria for the selection of cemeteries were the date of creation (1999–2019) and the communal status of objects. Literature studies in the fields of spatial planning, landscape architecture, geography, sociology and an analysis of legal acts including planning acts were the bases for developing evaluation criteria in the aspect of cemeteries location. The location of cemeteries in relation to: natural system, accessibility, functional and spatial structure of settlement units and religious facilities was characterized. The spatial extent of the research covered cemeteries within their boundaries along with the sanitary protection zone (150 m). Field studies were carried out in July and August 2019. The research showed that out of 63 cemeteries, most are established within the administrative boundaries of cities, but in their suburban, non-urbanized areas. Models of communal cemeteries were developed due to their location.

Full textAbstract:
The decommissioning of cemeteries noticeably transforms the urban fabric. The purpose of this article was to determine what impact the decommissioning of cemeteries has on the urban ecosystem. For this purpose, it was necessary to assess the value of cemeteries within the urban ecosystem. Cemeteries are classified as urban green spaces, and their value as preservers of flora and fauna in local ecosystems has been proven. However, numerous decaying bodies in one place could have adverse effects on the environment. In order to assess the impact of transforming cemetery areas for other uses in the context of sustainable city development, it is necessary to define what these other functions might be. This article presents the main reasons for decommissioning cemeteries and links them with subsequent land use. The history of cemetery locations in five major Polish cities was analyzed to determine the extent to which cemeteries were decommissioned. In the two cities with the highest number of decommissioned cemeteries, further research was carried out in order to establish the typical land use of these former cemeteries, whether this usage is related to the size or type of the former cemetery, and whether change in land use is an advantage or a disadvantage for the urban ecosystem.

Full textAbstract:
The old cemeteries of Rostov-on-Don are important territories - refugia for flora and fauna. Studies carried out in June 2020 showed that the herpetobionts of the Bratsk and Jewish-Tatar cemeteries of Rostov-on-Don have differences in abundance and diversity. The differences are associated with different levels of anthropogenic impact in mowing grass and cleaning plant residues during maintenance work on the territory of cemeteries. The abundance of herpetobionts is comparable and even exceeds the values in the virgin areas of the zonal steppes. This occurs as a result of the abundant growth in cemeteries of a variety of aboriginal and adventive flora from trees, grasses and shrubs, which form a special microclimate favorable for biota and biological activity of soils. The dominant species in both cemeteries in Rostov-on-Don is Staphylinus caesareus. The common herpetobiont species in the two cemeteries were Amara similata, Microlestes, Blaps lethifera, and Polydrusus inustus. Opatrum sabulosum is a eurytopic herpetobiont for cemeteries, parks of Rostov-on-Don, protected areas "Persianovskaya Steppe" and "Priazovskaya Steppe".

Abstract Researchers have previously examined the environmental costs of mountaintop removal but have often overlooked the cultural loss caused by MTR, including the plight of historic mountain cemeteries (or HMCs) that lie directly above coal seams in Appalachia. We find that MTR activity is a very real threat to HMCs, a threat culminating in the damage or destruction of multiple cemeteries. In this paper, we explore the discordant relationship between MTR and HMCs. We summarize the meanings and purposes of cemeteries in our society and explore how Appalachian funeral and burial mores create cemeteries (namely, HMCs) that differentiate them from modern cemeteries. We discuss how cemeteries might come to be damaged or destroyed, including how MTR blasting, bulldozing, and valley fills can impact HMCs. We then identify eighteen HMCs of interest in Boone, Kanawha, and Raleigh Counties in West Virginia’s coalfields to document the scope of MTR’s threat to HMCs. We conclude by examining the greater forces that propel cemetery damage and destruction in MTR regions (access to cemeteries, depopulation, and lack of legal protection) and offering directions for future research and activism.

Alien species are reaching different areas, including also cemeteries. Inventory of invasive flora of cemeteries of the city of Daugavpils actually is the first such type of work to such level of detail on the Latvian scale. Field studies were conducted in 10 cemeteries of the city of Daugavpils. The obtained results are indicative of a comparatively high proportion of invasive plant species in the cemeteries. 49 invasive alien species were found. In the cemetery areas these are spreading mainly from greeneries, but there are also such taxa, which have accidentally reached the cemeteries. The most frequent plant in the Daugavpils cemeteries is Spiraea chamaedryfolia. Taking into account the trends of migration, sex-age structure of population, climate change, availability of exotic and new ornamental plants, it is most likely that the number of invasive species will grow in the future.

On 19 March 2020, a “state of emergency” was declared in Portugal due to the manifestation of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with an exponential rate of infection and high mortality and morbidity rates. Since then, the state of emergency was declared a further fifteen times until 30 April 2021, during which a total of 16,974 deaths associated with COVID-19 were acknowledged in the country. Over the aforementioned period, guidelines were followed regarding the handling of suspected cases in autopsy rooms, mortuaries, and cemeteries. However, no procedures have been established regarding the handling of human remains during and after cemeterial exhumations. Furthermore, little is known about the virus survival and its spatial distribution in postmortem human tissues. Given that the minimum Portuguese legal period of inhumation is ending and cemeteries have been facing limited burial space and soon will start exhuming buried individuals, the authors believe it is important to reflect on the matter.

The aim of the article is to examine from a cultural perspective the issue of German war cemeteries in Poland, which were established after 1989 in order to provide the hitherto scattered and devastated burial sites with legal protection.The author addresses the problem of difficult heritage, taking the cemetery in Nadolice Wielkie as an example. She charts the history of the earlier dismantling of German cemeteries, including those from the war, and presents the legal conditions for establishing new Germany necropolises. The second section of the article provides an overview of comments found online regarding the Nadolice cemetery: voices opposing the remembrance of criminals, argued with reports (already disproved) of the burial of members of certain units, as well as frequent opinions of a conciliatory nature. The author concludes by stating that although the spatial organisation of the cemetery is intended to encourage reflection on reconciliation and peace, little is known of its mission, which is linked to the cemetery’s absence in the media.

Motives: Societies have developed a variety of services to meet their basic needs. One of them is to deposit and commemorate the bodies of the dead, for which cemeteries are used. Cemeteries and cities are thus interlinked.Aim: The first aim of the study was to verify whether cemeteries located in secondary cities with a high synthetic measure of socioeconomic development and with sustainable spatial policy on cemetery greenery are more attractive. Second aim was to verify whether attractiveness of cemeteries is related to their age. The study was conducted on a sample of 96 cemeteries located within the administrative boundaries of 10 cities of population between 50 000 and 300 000 inhabitants within city limits, that were representing various NUTS1 regions. Criteria of the cemetery evaluation based on the features of the cemetery were elaborated in terms of location, accessibility and development of the necropolis. Moreover, analysis of the current socioeconomic situation of cities was carried out.Results: Finally, the mutual correlation of indicators was examined using the Spearman correlation coefficient. The relationship between the cemeteries features, the socioeconomic development, share of municipal cemeteries as well elements considered in study of spatial policy on cemetery greenery in non-metropolitan cities has been noticed. As the result of performed analysis the guidelines on how to increase the attractiveness of cemeteries in non-metropolitan cities were developed.

Full textAbstract:
The open terrestrial swathes are by far the most collaborative of spaces shared by human beings as they partake of the spatial and temporal experience. Their experiential reality is shaped by the sensory experience rooted in the physical plane of existence, palpably elusive of the metaphysical. Cemeteries however hold a unique terrestrial position as not simply seeking out open spaces on earth, but also symbolize the metaphysical experience; transcending the earthly in death. This unique ambivalence of the earthly and the celestial entrenched in the cemeteries is going to be a major concern of this research article. The article seeks to deconstruct how cemeteries which command sanctity can be powerful celestial signs in contradiction to ordinary cemeteries which however are bracketed with a relatively less celebrated and overtly mundane experience of death and Thanatos. The article will dwell into the role of select cemeteries as metaphors of power emanating from the treatment meted out to the cemeteries. The centre-periphery, life-death and celestial-terrestrial binaries will be explored through the epithets conferred upon rites of death, cemeteries and phenomena of afterlife in different cultures. Keywords: Celestial, Terrestrial, Ambivalence, Juxtaposition, Binaries, Thanatos.

Full textAbstract:
The contemporary practice of creating official animal burial sites exhibits certain analogies with cemeteries, which function not only as burial sites for humans but also as complex symbols of remembering the dead. Both are macro-signs, manifested through verbal and non-verbal codes. Human cemeteries are characterised by greater symbolic complexity and diversity, deriving from centuries-old cultural and religious traditions. The linguistic and non-linguistic actions performed with respect to cemeteries, in the broadly understood situational context, are closely related to the sphere of sacrum, represented by the symbol of the cross. Although pet cemeteries are identical to human cemeteries in terms of certain code elements (including headstone inscriptions, photographs, and figural sculptures), such cemeteries are less complex and relate chiefly to the sphere of profanum, represented by symbols of the widespread myth of the Rainbow Bridge. However, the common denominator of both macro-signs are the linguistic and non-linguistic actions that are inspired by the feelings of sadness, love, and gratitude.

In order to explore their orchid flora, we performed surveys of 96 Azerbaijani burial places in 2018 and 2019. Altogether, 28 orchid taxa were found in 37 visited cemeteries. In the orchid diversity a remarkable pattern was observed: geographic latitude was significantly and positively related to the number of taxa and number of individuals. The most widespread and abundant orchids in Azerbaijani graveyards were Anacamptis pyramidalis and A. papilionacea (found in 23 and 8 cemeteries, respectively). Azerbaijani cemeteries can be important refuges for rare and threatened orchids, e.g., Himantoglossum formosum (three cemeteries), Ophrys sphegodes subsp. mammosa (eight), Orchis adenocheila (two), O. punctulata (three), O. stevenii (one) and Steveniella satyrioides (one). Epipactis turcica, detected in a single locality, was previously unknown to the flora of Azerbaijan. Additionally, we documented orchid tuber (salep) collection in two cemeteries.

Full textAbstract:
In life, identity is based on many things. In death, people tend to be identified more on the basis of religion: separate cemeteries for Jews, Buddhists and the Plymouth Brethren, separate quarters for Muslims, Yezidis, Bahá’í and Orthodox Christians. However, it is not true that cemeteries are only a place for religious division. They are also public spaces and, as such, places where people from all walks of life go. Cemeteries are places where religious preferences and customs are negotiated in a very special way. In this article, practical and theological aspects of cemeteries are discussed from an inter-religious point of view. What areas of conflict are there? How do people of different faiths reflect on each other and the option of cohabiting in death? To what extent are the preferences of different religious groups met in Swedish cemeteries? To some extent, these practical and theological questions pertaining to cemeteries may serve as a lens that sharpens our eyes to challenges of religious freedom and our chance to live (and die) together.

Full textAbstract:
Although not explicitly managed for conservation, urban cemeteries may provide a reserve of dead and dying trees for cavity-nesting birds. However, the ability of urban cemeteries to support these birds on current landscapes is largely unknown. We surveyed cavity-nesting birds and their habitat in 18 cemeteries in Chicago, Illinois (USA). At each location, we examined vegetation, availability of gravestones and monuments for perches, and landscape-level environmental conditions. We tested the importance of these variables for presence of individual bird species, and for overall richness of native cavity-nesting birds. We also assessed the availability and characteristics of tree cavities and their distribution among different tree species. We found that most cemeteries contained at least one dead or dying tree. Across all sampled areas, we detected 207 naturally-occurring and 77 excavated tree cavities. Tree species generally supported cavities in proportion to their abundance. We observed 12 native and two non-native cavity-nesting bird species in the cemeteries. Cavity-nesting bird species richness was best explained by landscape-level variables such as canopy cover and distance to water, but local-level variables (e.g., number of graves in a 50 m radius) influenced habitat selection for some species. Based on our results, we make suggestions for how both existing cemeteries and new “green” cemeteries can support biodiversity conservation.

Cemeteries have always accompanied humanity. The appearance and scale of the cemeteries has changed over the course of the historical process, but one thing remains unchanged - they are adjacent to human settlements in one form or another. The accelerated process of urbanization with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution led to the rapid growth of cities. This led to the absorption of cemeteries by cities and smaller settlements. Cemeteries are surrounded by an urban environment and are excluded from it. They are silent witnesses of the past, who have lost the functions of burial places. This article analyzes the history of the development of public cemeteries in St. Petersburg in the 17th-20th centuries in the context of a single cultural European space. The analysis of the evolution of the imagery perception of the cemetery over time and in relation to the territorial development of the city is carried out. The types of cemeteries that are formed and existed during this period are identified; the relationship between the types is established, as well as the influence of social and cultural trends on the formation of these types. Based on the study, conclusions are drawn about the feasibility of using the derived typology as a basis for the revitalization of historical cemeteries in Russia. In addition, the possibility of using European experience when working with this type of territory is established.

AbstractPreservationists and archaeologists often assess cemeteries for their research value as cultural resources of communities. Cemeteries hold significant interpretive and educational value because they serve communities as outdoor museums (Meyers 1996). The Cemetery Resource Protection Training (CRPT) workshop, developed by the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), engages the public by providing an archaeological perspective and hands-on experiences for local communities to aid them in addressing the real-world problem of neglected historic cemeteries. After completing over 36 workshops in 28 different communities, the CRPT workshop template has proven to be a highly transferable means to provide education and outreach to underserved communities and sites, as directed in FPAN’s mission. This paper considers cemeteries as participatory museums using Nina Simon’s (2010) co-creation framework. Following a brief summary of cemetery training programs and a review of the larger cemetery crisis in Florida, the rationale for creation of the CRPT program and building blocks of the workshop are provided for other public archaeologists to adapt for training cemetery stewards. Finally, the creation of training opportunities for nonprofessionals as an advance in public archaeology practice is discussed.

Cemeteries in the Russian Federation are special purpose green areas that affect human habitat and health and, according to legislation, must be separated by gaps of a specified width and structure from residential development, landscape and recreational areas and other areas. In many countries of the world, burial sites are traditionally covered to some extent by vegetation, which is preserved for many decades and is under state protection. Research on the placement and maintenance of cemeteries is quite relevant, as their number on the territories of large settlements, is large and increases every year, and their occupied areas to tens of hectares, features of the structure, are of interest to various sciences. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the location of cemeteries and the structure of their sanitary breaks in some cities of the world and Russia. As a method of research, it is proposed to use descriptions of remote sensing data in the form of special forms-tables on the sides of the world with the allocation of 10 types of elements – residential and administrative buildings, roads and railways, educational institutions and water bodies, car parks and other structures, areas occupied by plantations and bare soil. When studying the adjacent territories to cemeteries in the USA, Germany, France, Russia and other countries (more than 50 objects were studied in total, information about 8 is presented in the article), the predominance of roads of various coverage (from 10 to 59%) was noted, on Mount Olivet, Meudon and Saint Mary's are educational institutions. A considerable share is occupied by residential (marked within the boundaries of five out of eight cemeteries) and administrative buildings, which are present on the territory of sanitary gaps of all cemeteries. There is no special protective landscaping.

The increasing population is causing changes in land use which are feared to be uncontrolled and forgetting one of the public facilities, namely cemeteries. The city of Tasikmalaya is an area that focuses on trade and services, is densely populated, and has a relatively small area so the provision of cemeteries land must be considered. This research aims to analyze the spatial distribution of cemeteries, capacity, thresholds, and suitability areas for cemeteries in Tasikmalaya City using Remote sensing methods and geographic information systems. The parameters used in in this study are; land use, slope, soil type, distance from rivers, distance from settlements, and distance from roads. The results of this research show that 1) Mapping the spatial distribution of cemeteries show that there are 101 cemeteries with an area of ±74 hectares with 3 TPUs, namely TPU Cieunteung, TPU Cinehel, and TPU Aisha Rashida. 2) Capacity and threshold if without an overlapping system, the public cemetery in Tasikmalaya City cannot accommodate the next 50 years, both with standard grave sizes and grave sizes from field surveys, whereas if once overlapping, the public cemetery in Tasikmalaya City cannot accommodate up to 50 years in the future if you use the size of the grave from a field survey and can accommodate up to 50 years in the future if you use the standard grave size. 3) The suitability of public cemeteries grounds show that Tasikmalaya City has suitable, quite suitable and unsuitable areas, each of which has an area of 2231 Ha, 14192 Ha and 1999 Ha. Suitable areas for cemeteries are concentrated in the northern part of Tasikmalaya City.

Historians portray London’s “Magnificent Seven” suburban cemeteries as the first fruits of the urban health reforms inspired by Edwin Chadwick and George Walker. But all seven cemeteries opened before Chadwick and Walker’s work began. What’s more, the city’s new cemeteries were met with a chorus of protests. Why was this? I remove London’s cemeteries from the narrative of health reforms in which they have been anachronistically placed and study them in their own time. It turns out that financial designs prompted their construction, designs that involved a number of previously unexplored, deleterious consequences. These consequences, which historians have overlooked, were recognized immediately by Londoners of the time. Church revenues waned, public parks were enclosed and developed, and the socio-spatial division between the rich west and the poor east widened. Londoners fought hard against the very same cemeteries that recent historians have anointed as the solution to the city’s health problems.

The world’s population and the proportion of it living in cities and urban areas has exploded in recent decades. In the European Union, 62% of the population lives in urban areas and 80% in suburban areas, and these proportions are projected to increase further in the coming decades. It has long been researched and proven that ‘urban greenery’ can play a major role in mitigating the so-called urban heat island effect, and during the COVID-19 pandemic the role of daily recreation has come to the forefront. The combined memorial, recreational, and touristic use of cemeteries can help to ensure their economic management, and thus the long-term preservation of their value. In international tourism the model of managing cemeteries as tourist attractions already exists; however, this is not yet part of conventional practice. In addition to traditional cemetery tourism (e.g., visiting the graves of celebrities or enjoying artistic treasures and values), cemeteries are used as venues for events and sports activities. In Western Europe forest and park cemeteries have been established since the 19th century, and their large green areas and open spaces are a prerequisite for their use as public parks. Thus, the use of cemeteries as public parks is a common if quite specific practice. Our aim with this article is to identify the green space values of Budapest’s cemeteries, in addition to their well-known cultural and architectural significance, as well as to define the potential and means of their involvement in tourism-related activities. Another aim of our study is to raise awareness of green cemeteries within the tourism profession as potentially wider tourist attractions. We consider it important to draw the attention of decision-makers to the significance of the greenspace values when preserving or reusing closed cemeteries. Based on our work, other major cities in Hungary can identify and exploit the touristic and green space potential of their cemeteries.

Burials dug into Roman period – Viking age barrows can be distinguished in the context of the cemeteries from Lithuania’s Late Medieval – Early Modern period (late 14th–18th centuries). So far, at least 400 late burials have been found in 26 Lithuanian barrow cemeteries while only fragmentary information is available about another 25 such barrow cemeteries. The earliest historical period burials in old barrows should be dated to the late 14th–15th centuries, but this burial practice began to occur on a mass scale in the 16th–17th centuries. The main incidence range of this custom is Samogitia and North Lithuania. In respect to their construction, orientation, and grave good assemblages, these burials do not differ in any way from the context of the historical period cemeteries. The return of burials to old barrow cemeteries should be connected with the Christianisation of Lithuania. On the one hand, up until the 16th century the evangelisation of Lithuania’s rural population was not intensive and therefore burial in a churchyard and Christian rites were not well established. On the other hand, the compressed church network during the Reformation and especially the ounterReformation, the increased pressure from the Church to observe Christian burial rites and pay the exorbitant fees for them, and the lack of Christianity’s authority could have provoked the population’s hostility, forcing people to look for more remote locations for cemeteries, locations some communities found in old pagan barrow cemeteries. Keywords: barrows, cemetery reuse, Middle ages, Early modern times, christianization.

Cemeteries existing within cities are often omitted from the “green space” narrative despite their high levels of vegetation. Given the relatively small areas of green space in many cities, it is important to appropriately manage these landscapes to ensure that residents can access green spaces and enjoy the many benefits they offer. The purpose of our paper is to demonstrate that cemeteries should be managed and researched as urban green spaces that provide ecosystem services. We compared and contrasted cemeteries with urban parks and used their similarities and differences, as well as a review of existing cemetery and other green-space literature, to discuss how cemeteries can provide a wide variety of ecosystem services. We found that cemeteries and parks both have high levels of vegetation, similar perceived safety issues, and some common rules and regulations, while differing in their consideration as public spaces, effect on real-estate values, historical–cultural value, and funding and management goals. Despite the differences, we believe that the vegetation (particularly trees), monuments, other infrastructure, and atmosphere within cemeteries make them well-suited to providing ecosystem services such as recreation, human health and restoration, stormwater management, microclimate regulation, aesthetics, and so on. Cemeteries can also potentially provide ecosystem “disservices” such as allergens, invasive/dangerous/poisonous species, and the degradation of groundwater quality. However, we believe that the potential for ecosystem services far outweighs the potential for ecosystem disservices in urban cemeteries, and as such we believe they should be studied and managed as green spaces with functions beyond those of interment and mourning. Given the general superiority of trees over other vegetation in providing a diversity of ecosystem services, we urge cemetery managers to consider options for increases and improvements in cemetery tree populations.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a pilot study investigating the multidimensional diversity of cemeteries as an important element of cultural heritage and green infrastructure within the urban landscape. We studied the state and diversity of nature, perceptions, and activities of visitors. As religion is an important aspect that differentiates cemeteries from each other, we studied a sample of four multi-confessional urban cemeteries in Łódź (Poland) and Leipzig (Germany) by using site observation and a questionnaire survey. We found that cemeteries are far undervalued as public green resources that can perform important functions in sociocultural life and the mental well-being of the general public, as the perceptions of silence- and contemplation-seeking visitors tell us. The perception of cemeteries depends on the level of secularization, varying from a sacrum sphere up to specific recreational and touristic opportunities; findings that should be considered by town planners when optimizing the cultural ecosystem services of green spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Cemeteries are globally culturally protected greenspaces in cities that meet different societal needs and often harbor high biodiversity. To harness the potential of cemeteries as urban green infrastructure, stakeholders need to understand why people visit cemeteries and their preferences. We conducted an online survey in Berlin, Germany (n = 627) to understand (i) the reasons for cemetery visits; (ii) preferences for cemetery features; (iii) the effect of a dead tree as a wilderness component on preferences for differently managed green areas (wild, meadows, lawns); (iv) preferences of nature elements as comforting experiences; and (v) how reasons for the visit and sociodemographic variables relate to respondents’ preferences. The major reasons to visit cemeteries were ‘enjoying nature’, ‘mourning’, and ‘historical interest’ and most preferred cemetery features were ‘wildlife‘, ‘solitude’, and ‘vegetation‘. Presenting a dead tree did not modulate preference ratings for green areas that were depicted on photographs. Comforting experiences with nature elements were high overall. The reasons to visit had besides socio-demographic variables predictive potential on pronounced preferences. The results underscore the importance of cemeteries as multidimensional places and indicate tolerance for the inclusion of dead trees as important wildlife habitat. Strategies to develop cemeteries as shared habitats for people and nature should also consider, besides socio-demographic background, the reasons for cemetery visits.

Full textAbstract:
Cemeteries are sites for the final disposal of human bodies that constitute a source of contamination of soil and water as a result of the cadaveric decomposition generated. The current research performed an initial study on the contamination of soil and water due to the influence of cemeteries and verified compliance with the legislation regulating land use and occupation of Central Ecuador (PUGS) with the aim of proposing an environmental and territorial solution to the problems generated by the mismanagement of cemeteries, through the physicochemical analysis of soil and water and studies of land use compatibility. The results indicate the tendency of contamination caused by the studied cemeteries, since the samples taken in both the rainy and dry season for the measurement of parameters BOD5, COD, DO, pH and electrical conductivity fail to meet the established requirements of the Ecuadorian and international environmental regulations. In addition, land use conflicts were encountered in the cemetery grounds. It is concluded that the existing cemeteries should be subjected to more detailed environmental analysis and subsequently should be treated as security landfills in the closure and post-closure stage. Also, it has been concluded that the cemeteries should not be located in urban or peri-urban areas.

Full textAbstract:
Human burial in cemeteries facilitates the decomposition of corpses without posing a public health danger. However, the role of cemeteries as potential environmental reservoirs of drug-resistant pathogens has not been studied. Thus, we investigated cemeteries as potential environmental reservoirs of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogenic Escherichia coli. E. coli isolates were obtained from water samples (collected from surface water bodies and boreholes in three cemeteries) after isolation using the Colilert® 18 system. Pathogenic potentials of the isolates were investigated using real-time polymerase chain reactions targeting seven virulence genes (VGs) pertaining to six E. coli pathotypes. The resistance of isolates to eight antibiotics was tested using the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method. The mean E. coli concentrations varied from <1 most probable number (MPN)/100 mL to 2419.6 MPN/100 mL with 48% of 100 isolates being positive for at least one of the VGs tested. Furthermore, 87% of the isolates were resistant to at least one of the antibiotics tested, while 72% of the isolates displayed multi-drug resistance. Half of the MDR isolates harboured a VG. These results suggest that cemeteries are potential reservoirs of MDR pathogenic E. coli, originating from surrounding informal settlements, which could contaminate groundwater if the cemeteries are in areas with shallow aquifers.

Full textAbstract:
Burial of human beings in houses or within residential premises is a common occurrence in developing countries. Despite the negative impacts it has on the social and economic lives of the people and society at large, particularly on public health, this norm has continued. However, this area has not been given adequate attention in recent scholarship. Against this backdrop, this article traces the development, appropriation, and misappropriation of burial sites and public cemeteries among the indigenous people of Egba land. It also examines the responses of the government to this phenomenon. This study was done through the use of archival sources, extant literature, media reports, pictographs, and interviews. The study reveals that the misappropriation of burial sites and cemeteries is a result of indigenous belief systems, illiteracy, inadequate lands for burial and cemeteries, cost and proximity of burial sites, and insecurity, among other things. It also finds that the few who appropriate burial sites and cemeteries were educated, enlightened, and averagely wealthy individuals, socially placed individuals. It recommends that governments at both state and local levels, particularly local levels that are vested with the maintenance of burial sites and cemeteries, should be strengthened to adequately appropriate cemeteries and burial sites in Egba land, south west Nigeria, like most indigenous people.

The Jewish heritage is represented by a number of elements: the Jewish quarter, Jewish museum, synagogues, local Jewish persons, other smaller objects, squares or streets named after Jewish individuals, Jewish cemetery, monuments and memorial plaques. Of the aforementioned elements, Jewish cemeteries are the most endangered heritage in Europe today. They serve as a primary source and contain important cultural-historical and genealogical data. Researching a cemetery involves study of the space in which it is located, how that space is organized and the reading of tombstones. For Jewish cemeteries, it is important to determine their spatial, functional, and aesthetic design through an interdisciplinary approach. The work consists of field research (observation) and the desk method (content analysis). It is conducted on three levels: the cemetery, the tombstone and the grave’s frame, and the epitaph. The goal is not only to examine tombstones, but also the topography of the space that they occupy. This paper presents the first results of research on Jewish cemeteries in Croatia based on field work and the methodology that will be used for the study of Jewish cemeteries. The fieldwork determined the criteria for selecting cemeteries that will be further studied in greater detail, of which there are a total of 65 in Croatia. Of the 65 cemeteries, 14 have the legal status of protected cultural space and two are preventively protected according to the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia. The next phase of research is to evaluate and interpret cemeteries as the largest component of the remaining material heritage.
