Research Data to the paper Understanding Communicating Imagining, Arlati and Nagel 2025

Abstract

This dataset contains qualitative research materials collected for the cumulative PhD project, which concerns the integration of biodiversity-related thinking into urban planning and how the new concept of nature-based solutions (NbS) is influencing the creation of visions for the future. The methodology used in two of the four articles is discourse network analysis (DNA), which builds networks between actors based on the arguments they utter. The cumulative PhD project 'The (re)imagination of urban biodiversity. How nature-based solutions shape urban planning discourses, practices, and relations in Germany and Italy' is composed of four independent but connected scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals and books. The dataset in this publication refers to the paper number 4 and contains information related to the analysis of in DNA of the newspaper articles (codebook, dna files, and network data), and the supplementary materials published with the article.
