“…As discussed above (Section 5.3), the SEM analysis of the data suggests that information availability influences an individual's attitude toward citizenship, and is positively associated with participation behaviour-specifically, the intention to engage. This is a result which supports the findings of Tang et al [33] and Li et al [85]. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that social norms play a vital role in shaping an individual's sense of belonging and are closely linked to their attitudes towards citizenship.…”

The concept of the smart city is well-established, and governments across the world are either planning, or already implementing, strategies to transform existing cities to smart status. However, governments cannot act alone. If the implementation of these smart city strategies are to be successful, public engagement is a key factor. This raises the question of how best to ensure public engagement. Currently, the various external factors that influence willingness to support, and actively participate in, the development of smart cities are not well-understood, as there are few studies which examine the issue. This is of significance across the globe, but is of particular significance in Saudi Arabia, which has announced an ambitious smart city development plan. The aim of this research is to explore this issue—that is, it seeks to identify the key variables that influence the intention to participate in smart city development, and explores how they ultimately affect engagement behaviours. To achieve this, the study used a quantitative methodology, based on data from residents of 10 Saudi cities, each of which is part of the Kingdom’s 2030 smart city plan. The data were analysed, using structural equation modelling (SEM), in order to test the reliability and predictive value of a model which hypothesised a positive relationship between five external variables: information availability, perceived benefits, social norms, behaviour management, and social responsibility and engagement behaviour. The results showed that information availability has a direct and positive effect on an individual’s engagement behaviour, while perceived benefits, responsibility and social norms have an indirect effect on engagement, by positively impacting the attitude of residents. Practical implications, based on these findings, are discussed. The study contributes important insights to the literature, as it is one of the few studies to explore such a model in the context of smart cities. It therefore acts as a useful foundation for further research. However, the focus on Saudi cities may be considered a limitation in terms of generalisability, and other external variables could usefully be explored in future research.

“…In this particular study, the purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample area for the study, while random sampling was used to administer questionnaires to the residents of the selected neighborhoods. The purposive sampling technique is similar to the ones presented in Maepa (2021), and Li et al (2023).…”

There is a knowledge gap regarding the specific attributes (location-specific, environmental, and neighborhood) that impact land value, the relationship among these attributes, and the degree of impact on the land values in residential estates in Uyo, Nigeria. The three factors all combine to create a unique picture of a place, impacting its desirability and ultimately, its land value. This study explores the relationship between various land value attributes within specific residential estates (Ewet Housing Estate, Shelter Afrique Estate, and Akwa-Ima Estate) in Uyo. A questionnaire was designed and used to solicit data from the respondents living in the three estates with the aid of the purposive sampling technique. The findings revealed the following: Closeness to school is the location-specific attribute that contributes the most to land value, and closeness to recreational centers contributes the least. The presence of security and police stations had the most significant contribution to land value, and the presence of noise in the neighborhood had the least significant contribution. Peace, quiet, and beauty had the most significant contribution to land value, and the presence of lakes and water bodies in the environment contributed the least to land value. The factor analysis yielded two major factors for location-specific attributes: ‘transport’ and ‘place’. The factor analysis grouped the neighborhood attributes into two factors: ‘easily controlled’ and ‘not easily controlled’. All three attributes of land values are positively correlated with one another. Implications for research and recommendations were made.

“…However, researchers did not pay much attention on the relationship between IP, ENB and PN, which in turn lead to visiting green hotels. A recent study conducted by Li et al . (2023) revealed the significant impact of IP on individual pro-environmental behavior.…”

PurposeThe unsustainable practices of hotels have greatly contributed to ecological imbalances, encompassing excessive energy and water consumption, improper waste disposal and inadequate resource management. Information publicity (IP) plays an effective role in influencing tourists' intentions to visit green hotels. Therefore, the current study has incorporated IP into the value-belief norm (VBN) framework to examine tourists' intentions to visit green hotels.Design/methodology/approachThis study is a correlational research design, and the purposive sampling technique was employed for the data collection. The study used 355 valid data and analyzed them via partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe study results show that egoistic values have the greatest impact on pro-environmental beliefs (ENBs). In addition, the results indicate the impact of ENB and IP on personal norms (PNs), leading toward the intention to visit green hotels.Practical implicationsThis study helps hotel managers devise and execute effective marketing strategies for green hotels. Hospitality marketers should pay more attention to values, orientations and IP, emphasizing the significance of these factors in increasing the visits of customers to green hotels.Originality/valueIP, an important factor that informs tourists about hotels that are environmentally friendly, has been neglected in the tourism research. This research examines the significance of IP in developing ENBs and influencing the PN of tourists.
