“…Based on the FTLV, the basic values survey (BVS; Gouveia, 2003), was constructed. The FTLV hypotheses using the BVS have been corroborated in Brazil (Gouveia et al, 2009(Gouveia et al, , 2010(Gouveia et al, , 2014(Gouveia et al, , 2015 and confirmed in several other countries (Ardila et al, 2012;Gouveia et al, 2010;Marques, Silva, & Taveira, 2018;Marques et al, 2016;Medeiros, 2011;Mohamed et al, 2019). However, these studies were conducted mostly in European or occidental countries, with the exception of Egypt and Israel, and mostly with groups of the general population.…”

This study aims to test the applicability of the functional theory of life values and score differences among a group of students from Lebanon and Portugal. Participants include 565 college students—278 Lebanese and 287 Portuguese. A demographic questionnaire and an adapted version of the Basic Values Survey were completed. Confirmatory/multigroup factor analysis, a generalized Procrustes analysis, and a t test were used. Results indicate that content and structure hypotheses were equivalent among the two groups. There were significant differences between the Lebanese and Portuguese students in normative and promotion values in favor of the first group, and in interactive, suprapersonal, and excitement values in favor of the second. This study has implications for institutional academic and social practices with international college students.

“…The rapid process of urbanization and suburbanization, ad hoc and unplanned spatial distribution and allocation of spatial activities will have an impact on decreasing environmental quality [67]. Differences between city centers and peripheral locations indicate that location plays at least some important roles, in combination with income and governance factors [68]. The importance of population characteristics in understanding population-environmental relations and interactive value generated from the meeting point of motivation then develops towards social relations [69,70].…”

Metropolitan Urban Mamminasata South Sulawesi, Indonesia as the object of study is explored in the core-peripheral spatial interaction towards the formation of suburban service centers. The problems raised in this study are (i) is there a relationship/correlation between spatial integration, spatial interaction, and urban agglomeration to the formation of urban activity systems and (ii) how the formation of urban activity systems works as a determinant of economic growth, land use change and environmental quality degradation towards sustainable development in the metropolitan city of Mamminasata. Comparative studies of suburban areas have been carried out over three time periods (2001, 2015 and 2019). Data elaboration on observations, surveys and documentation is done to describe urban dynamics in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. Path analysis is used to address direct effects, indirect effects, differences, and dependencies between urban elements. The gravity model is used to analyze the spatial interactions of the core city with the periphery. The study results show that spatial integration, spatial interaction and urban agglomeration have a positive effect on the system of urban activity and economic growth in the outskirts of the Mamminasata Metropolitan area. The results of this study recommend policy makers and urban planners that land use change, spatial integration and urban spatial interactions on the spatial scale of metropolitan cities to require the implementation of sustainable development concepts oriented towards saving the environment, ensuring fairness in economic access and creating social cohesion, in line with meeting national Metropolitan city development targets by 2030.

“…Information from the field showed that mutual acceptance among communities possesses the capacity to strengthen social relations, leading to welfare improvement. Therefore, interactive values are generated from the meeting point of motivation which develops towards social relations ( Mohamed et al, 2019).…”

The rapid development observed in metropolitan cities affects the spatial interaction between regions and urban cluster settlements, leading to the fiscal growth of suburbs. This study is therefore, aimed to examine and analyze the spatial integration, urban agglomeration, economic growth and formation of the social territorial structures in the Mamminasata Metropolitan suburb using a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Meanwhile, data were obtained through observation, surveys and documentation studies. Furthermore, the results showed that an elevation in the pattern of urban activities elicited changes parameters assessed which lead to economic growth in the suburbs of Mamminasata Metropolitan. This finding further indicated that spatial integration an urban agglomeration and the increase of activity, led to land tenure inequality and differences in adaptation between migrants and the local community. However, changes in spatial use influenced the structure and pattern of space, therefore, causing the formation of social territorial structures in the area.
