“…Interestingly, the education level of residents in both case areas did not affect their WTP. The findings align with a previous study that the education level affected residents' WTP indirectly through influencing their cognition [37]. The findings are further supported by [54], where it was found that people who had heard about self-driving vehicles had a higher WTP for the technology, placed more trust in the technology, and perceived higher benefits.…”

“…It was reported that respondents' educational level was a significant influencing factor for their WTP in all six cities, but age, gender and family monthly income correlated differently with respondents' WTP in different cities. Furthermore, some argued that education level affected residents' WTP by influencing their cognition [37]. Residents with high cognition of green buildings had significantly higher WTP than those who did not live in green buildings [38].…”

Global extreme weather events such as rainstorms, floods and droughts have become increasingly frequent, posing significant threats to human beings worldwide. Green infrastructure has been implemented for decades to mitigate these issues. However, its widespread adoption in cities is still limited. A lack of sustainable funds was viewed as a great challenge for its widespread implementation. Many developed countries have practiced public participation and stormwater fee systems to mitigate these challenges. To assess the value that citizens place on the ecosystem benefits provided by urban green infrastructure is of great importance for increasing public participation and their willingness to pay. Thus, this paper aims to explore public preferences and their willingness to pay for the benefits of green infrastructure to support the construction and maintenance costs. A discrete choice experiment method was employed and five attributes were selected: reduction in run-off pollutant, degrees of ponding, plant type, planting aesthetics and the amount of payment. The Ngene1.2 software was used to generate a questionnaire, and data collected from the case cities, Xianyang and Xi’xian New Area, China, were analyzed using the mixed logit model. The results revealed that in Xianyang, the willingness to pay was not significantly associated with cognition, while in Xi’xian New Area, willingness to pay was positively related to cognition. Respondents exhibited a significant willingness to pay for green infrastructure to achieve reduced degrees of ponding in both cities, as well as improving planting aesthetics in Xi’xian New Area. Based on these findings, we conclude that government decision-makers should prioritize disseminating knowledge about green infrastructure to residents before implementing such projects in communities. The findings provide valuable insights into the potential economic value of urban green infrastructure and can guide policymakers and urban planners in making decisions regarding the design, implementation, and management of green infrastructure. This study contributes to the understanding of citizen perspectives and the economic evaluation of ecosystem services provided by urban green infrastructure.

“…This variable has a maximum score of 20 with a unit awarded for a correct answer on a short form Raven's Progressive Matrices. The heuristic ANA (Attribute Non-Attendance) is a count of ignored attributes on six discrete choice experiment (DCE) tasks (each task having four attributes) [2,29]. DCE conceptualise good or services as a collection of attributes [30].…”

Growing empirical evidence indicates that financial anxiety causes reductions in short-term cognitive capacity. Results from urban communities in Delhi, India show sizable differences in the number of health events recalled between the poor and non-poor respondents over experimentally controlled recall periods. One explanation for this recall difference is ‘poor memory’. Such results provide additional reasons for healthy skepticism of the accuracy of self-reported health survey data. The present research identifies which forms of cognitive capacity are related to health event recall and assesses the roles of poverty and illiteracy as mediating variables. Results indicate that underreporting of health events among the poor in rural Kenya is not solely due to ‘poor memory’. Data used comes from a repeated cross-sectional study conducted in Samburu county, Kenya over 10-months between 2017–2018. This period coincided with the ending of a protracted and severe drought in East Africa. The results presented in the current study confirm the poor and non-poor distinction, but provide a more detailed cognitive explanation for such results. Reflective throught, as measured by fluid intelligence and heuristic use, is shown to be good predictors of fever recall among relatively poor rura communities in central Kenya.

Increased urbanization and climate change globally have increased the frequency of extreme weather, especially rainstorms and flooding. Low impact development (LID) has been adopted for several decades to reduce urban pluvial flooding and cope with urban climate change. However, LID hasn't been widely used due to the lack of sustainable funding. In this article, a discrete choice experiment method was used to understand public preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for the functions of LID facilities. Four attributes were selected, and after that, 958 and 646 valid questionnaires were collected in the pilot sponge cities of Zhengzhou and Hebi, respectively. The results showed that respondents showed a significant WTP for LID facilities, with a desire to support rainwater drainage, recreation and entertainment, and the landscape environment. Experience of flooding had a significant effect on Zhengzhou respondents, but not on Hebi respondents. We have concluded that rainwater drainage should still be considered the most important function of LID facilities. At the same time, educational level and flood experiences may not affect the public's WTP. This article can provide a reference for cities that would like to implement LID and create a stormwater fee system to adapt to global change.
