“…According to the OECD classification, five studies reported data from a large metropolitan area ( 28 , 31 , 37 , 38 , 41 ). Sobral, Richmond, Rennes, Bristol, Ljubljana and Sosnowiec were classified as medium-sized urban areas ( 27 , 30 , 32 , 42 ); Barcelona, San Francisco, Lisbon, Detroit and Amsterdam were classified as metropolitan areas ( 33 , 36 , 40 , 42 ); and Noarlunga, Gulfport, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach as small-size urban areas ( 29 , 34 , 43 ). Matsapha and Vancouver were classified as other urban settings ( 35 , 39 ).…”

“…As a lone process, multisectoral action to advance the construction of a healthy city was addressed in six (35%) studies ( 30 – 32 , 35 , 36 , 41 ). Five studies assessed both multisectoral action and health governance ( 27 , 29 , 33 , 38 , 39 ); three reported data on multisectoral action and civic engagement ( 34 , 37 , 40 ), and the same amount of studies assessed only civic engagement ( 28 , 42 , 43 ).…”

“…The impact of participatory health governance was observed on population health, equity and wellbeing in two of the studies ( 29 , 34 ); on both population health and equity in another two ( 30 , 39 ); and on population and wellbeing also in two ( 27 , 33 ). The impact on population health and equity alone was looked at in four ( 28 , 32 , 35 , 37 ) and six ( 31 , 36 , 38 , 40 – 42 ) studies, respectively. Finally, one study looked at the impact of civic engagement on wellbeing ( 43 ).…”

“…Other tools and indexes were EuroQol, EnviroScreen, Urban Quality of Life Index, Life Evaluation Index (LEI), Cities Rapid Assessment Framework for Transformation (CRAFT) and the Population Health Index ( Table 2 ). As represented in Supplementary Table S2 , health indicators were reported in six studies ( 28 , 29 , 36 , 38 – 40 ); housing ( 28 , 32 – 34 , 36 , 40 ) and environmental indicators ( 28 , 33 , 34 , 36 , 40 , 42 ) in five of them; indicators on transportation ( 28 , 33 , 36 , 40 , 43 ), education ( 27 , 28 , 36 , 40 ), economic conditions and social protection in four ( 28 , 33 , 36 , 40 ); and infrastructure in three ( 28 , 33 , 36 ). A smaller proportion of studies (two) presented indicators for sanitation ( 34 , 39 ).…”

Objectives: To identify the validated and reliable indicators and tools to assess good governance for population health, wellbeing, and equity in urban settings, and assess processes of multisectoral action and civic engagement as reported by peer-reviewed articles.Methods: We conducted a systematic review searching six databases for observational studies reporting strategies of either urban health, multisectoral action or civic engagement for wellbeing, health, or equity.Results: Out of 8,154 studies initially identified we included 17. From the included studies, 14 presented information about high-income countries. The general population was the main target in most studies. Multisectoral action was the most frequently reported strategy (14 studies). Three studies used Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART). Health indicators were the most frequently represented (6 studies). Barriers and facilitators for the implementation of participatory health governance strategies were reported in 12 studies.Conclusion: Data on the implementation of participatory health governance strategies has been mainly reported in high-income countries. Updated and reliable data, measured repeatedly, is needed to closely monitor these processes and further develop indicators to assess their impact on population health, wellbeing, and equity.

The role of air quality for reaching tourism environmental sustainability: A segmentation approach based on visitors' pro‐environmental behaviors

Due to the growing awareness concerning environmental problems, specifically air pollution, it is crucial to understand the relationship between perceptions of air quality and the pro‐environmental behaviors of visitors. This study segments visitors based on self‐reported pro‐environmental behaviors. A survey was carried out in Portugal (N = 602). Three clusters with different pro‐environmental profiles emerged: eco‐transportation seekers; environmentally committed visitors; and environmentally insensitive visitors. Differences were detected among the clusters regarding pro‐environmental behaviors at home, environmental attitudes, perception of the destination air quality, and perception of the impact of air quality on health, as well as sociodemographic and travel characteristics.

A benchmark was performed, comparing the results of three different methodologies proposed by three institutions to calibrate a network of low-cost PM2.5 sensors, on an hourly basis, using synthetically generated real concentrations and sensor measurements. The objective of the network calibrations was to correct the 2000+ sensor measurements in the Netherlands for the sensitivity to (local) environmental conditions. The option to use real measurements was dropped because the number of low-cost sensors sufficiently close to the 40 reference measurement locations was assessed to be spatially insufficient to benchmark the proposed approaches. Instead, synthetic real concentrations were generated to enable validation at all sensor locations. Hourly actual sensor and actual fixed concentrations, as well as interpolated concentration maps, were used as underlying data to generate the synthetic data sets for the period of 1 month. The synthetic sensor measurement errors were constructed by sampling from a collection of differences between actual sensor values and actual measurements. Of the three tested calibration methods, two follow a similar approach, although having differences in, e.g., outlier analyses and method of grouping sensors, leading also to comparable corrections to the raw sensor measurements. A third method uses significantly stricter rules in outlier selection, discarding considerably more sensors because of insufficient quality. Differences between the methods become most apparent when analyzing data at a smaller time scale. It is shown that two network calibration methods are better at correcting the hourly/daily bias.
