Urban agriculture is acknowledged as a multifunctional integrated concept capable of delivering various ecosystem services. Design-related empirical research which is regarded as crucial for introducing and exploring the transformation of design knowledge and practice. Despite the growing body of scientific evidence, operational guidelines for this topic are relatively scarce. The primary step in promoting practical value involves reviewing existing design knowledge and transformation status in empirical research. In conjunction with the existing design research findings, research through design is the only way to acquire and test design knowledge. Spatial design is acknowledged as a way to translate theoretical concepts into practical applications. This systematic literature review offers a comprehensive qualitative analysis of urban agriculture, ecosystem services, and design research. Additionally, it utilizes bibliometric visualization tools to clarify existing research gaps and propose reliable solutions. This paper reveals the imbalance of design research in delivering ecosystem services in urban agriculture through the review of 70 selected empirical research articles. The results suggest that the research for design approach is the most prevalent and offers abundant design knowledge. However, the relatively infrequent use of the research through design method obstructs the transition from implicit to explicit design knowledge, resulting in a shortage of available operational guidelines. Consequently, the study proposes a framework for systematic design knowledge of urban agriculture to catalyze the transformation of design knowledge. Finally, we outline the framework's composition and logic and elucidate its role in addressing research gaps.

提供生态系统服务的城市农业设计知识。系统文献综述


城市农业被认为是一种多功能的综合概念，能够提供各种生态系统服务。与设计相关的实证研究，被认为对引入和探索设计知识和实践的转变至关重要。尽管科学证据越来越多，但该主题的操作指南相对稀缺。促进实用价值的第一步是回顾实证研究中现有的设计知识和转型状态。结合现有的设计研究结果，通过设计进行研究是获取和测试设计知识的唯一途径。空间设计被认为是将理论概念转化为实际应用的一种方式。本系统文献综述对城市农业、生态系统服务和设计研究进行了全面的定性分析。此外，它还利用文献计量可视化工具来阐明现有的研究差距并提出可靠的解决方案。本文通过回顾 70 篇精选的实证研究文章，揭示了设计研究在提供城市农业生态系统服务方面的不平衡。结果表明，设计方法的研究最为普遍，并提供了丰富的设计知识。然而，通过设计方法相对不频繁地使用研究阻碍了从隐性到显式设计知识的过渡，导致缺乏可用的操作指南。因此，本研究提出了一个城市农业系统设计知识框架，以促进设计知识的转化。最后，我们概述了该框架的组成和逻辑，并阐明了它在解决研究差距方面的作用。
