The physical /ecological domain was calculated based on the available open space in developed and undeveloped land use parcels on public and private land within the studied watershed of Amman. The social domain was calculated based on the economic capacity to implement measures on private land. Since no information on household income was available, we used the residential types (based on a categorization of the Greater Amman Municipality) as a proxy for the distribution of relative wealth within Amman, as recommended by Potter et al. (2009) and Ababsa and Daher (2011).
