“…There are many industrial enterprises within the main urban area of Gaoyou, with a large amount of pollution discharge, especially high values of air pollutant emissions. The PM2.5 particle matter source analysis showed that industrial pollution was the main source of pollution, followed by motor vehicle exhaust emissions [29]. This article selected cross-sectional data from four years, 2014, 2017, 2020, and 2023, covering a period of approximately 10 years.…”

“…In the past decade, the overall air quality in Gaoyou City has gradually improved, meeting the second-level standard for air quality for 238, 241, 252, and 256 days in four years, respectively [28]. The Air Quality Index (AQI) simplifies the concentration of several air pollutants commonly monitored into a single conceptual index value based on environmental air quality standards and the impact of various pollutants on human health, ecology, and the environment [29]. The main pollutants involved in air quality assessment are fine particulate matter, inhalable particulate matter, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and six other pollutants [29].…”

The popularisation of mobile information technology has provided access to the living habits and activity trajectories of residents and enabled the accurate measurement of the impact of urban haze disasters on residents’ lives, supporting urban haze risk response. Using the main urban area of Gaoyou City as a case study, this study identifies the spatial range and trajectory characteristics of the daily activities of residents in a haze disaster environment, based on air pollution monitoring and resident travel positioning data. We constructed an evaluation index system to measure the corresponding relationship between residential activities and haze disasters. The results indicate that the interference with residential activities and the adaptability of built environments are key indicators for evaluating urban resilience in haze environments, with weights of 0.57 and 0.43, and correlation indices of 0.67 and 0.81, respectively. The interference with residential activities and the adaptability of built environments exhibit spatial characteristics of cold and hot ‘multi-core’ agglomeration and ‘strip’ agglomeration, respectively. Specific indicators show that the residential activity exposure index is significantly influenced by the built environment factor index, with the vegetation coverage index showing a significant positive correlation (0.837) and the public transportation facility accessibility index showing a significant negative correlation (−1.242). Planning should focus on improving the adaptability of the built environment or reducing the interference with residential activities and enhancing the matching degree of the two at the spatial facility level.

To accurately grasp the logic and challenges of urban social governance during extreme weather disasters, this paper examines the 7.20 Heavy Rain Disaster in Zhengzhou, Henan, as a case study. After comprehensively reviewing the evolution of disasters and failures in emergency responses, several issues were identified in the urban social governance mechanisms for extreme weather risks, such as inadequate agility in adapting to extreme weather, limited effectiveness of grassroots governance, and insufficient overall coordination in handling extreme weather risks. Using complex adaptive systems theory, a framework is proposed for understanding the complex adaptive response of urban social governance to extreme weather risks. On the basis of this framework, the paper recommends innovative pathways for urban social governance to cope with extreme weather risks, including enhancing the agility of overall urban disaster response through digital empowerment, unleashing grassroots resilience in emergency responses by adjusting authority relationships, and improving intergovernmental coordination capacities by establishing standardized contingency plans.
