“…After the MK mutation test, a keyword analysis for mutation points and top-ranking data is performed to investigate the specific reasons for the mutation of public attention. A word cloud is a visualization tool for text data that can effectively display high-frequency words in a text and help people quickly grasp key information in big data ( Abdar et al, 2020 ; Piselli et al, 2022 ). In general, the size of the words in the word cloud is positively correlated with the frequency of their occurrence in the text, so it can intuitively show the meaning of some words.…”

“…When creating policies, policymakers do their best to explore the public’s cognition and take public perceptions into account to ensure smooth policy implementation ( Li X. et al, 2022 ; Piselli et al, 2022 ). By considering the public attention and sentiment toward carbon neutrality, the quality and impact of policies that promote environmentally friendly behavior among citizens will improve ( Li L. et al, 2021 ; Huang H. et al, 2022 ).…”

“…In addition, respondents may be biased due to the different environments of the survey and the design features of the questionnaire. With the continuous development of computer technology, more scholars are using social media platforms to conduct research ( Lee and Chung, 2019 ; Zheng et al, 2019 ; Li L. et al, 2021 ), adopt semantic network analysis ( Piselli et al, 2022 ), perform keyword analysis ( Gong et al, 2022 ) and deep learning ( Huang H. et al, 2022 ), as well as other methods to process data to obtain more objective and real results.…”

IntroductionExploring the public’s cognition toward carbon neutrality is conducive to improving the quality and effectiveness of policymaking, and promoting the realization of carbon neutrality goals. This study aims to explore the public’s attention and sentiment toward carbon neutrality from the perspective of social psychology.MethodsUsing posts on carbon neutrality from the Chinese social media platform Sina Weibo as the data source, this study uses statistical analysis, the Mann-Kendall method, keyword analysis, the BERT model, and the LDA model to explore public attention and sentiment.ResultsThe results show that: (1) men, people living east of the Hu line (economically developed regions), and the public in the energy finance market are more concerned about carbon neutrality; (2) high public attention and great dynamic changes in public attention toward carbon neutrality could be trigged by highly credible government or international governmental organizations’ information; (3) public sentiment toward carbon neutrality is mostly positive; however, specific topics affect public sentiment differently.DiscussionThe research results contribute to policymakers’ better understanding of the trend of public attention and sentiment toward carbon neutrality, and support improvements in the quality and impact of policymaking.

“…These are new models arisen from the need to evaluate conservation and adaptation measures from the perspective of Circular Economy but also to foster the decarbonization process in historical urban areas, using innovative approaches of energy management, advanced materials, and applying Renewable Energy Sources (RES) [23]. ECs are defined as legal entities involving citizens' participation as prosumers in the future energy system that should integrate social justice principles [24]. They can be organised in various collective forms for the decentralisation and the local operation of renewable energy [25].…”

Cultural heritage and historical buildings, accounting for over 30% of the overall European building stock, need to be preserved as much as possible, on account of their role in representing the cultural identity of a community, and to be renovated in response to the sociocultural need to maintain historical cities and the environmental need to reduce the global energy demand of existing buildings. Small historical villages, and in particular those with fewer than 5.000 inhabitants, are undergoing a declining process, due to the lack of infrastructure, services, cultural attractiveness and because of the inadequate actions aimed at their valorisation. They are often underused, abandoned or neglected, thus risking to be affected by severe degradation. For this reason, European and national directives strongly encourage actions targeting the revitalisation of small villages, in order to preserve their historical heritage and improve their energy efficiency. This study aims at investigating Italian examples of revitalisation of small historical towns, showcasing what strategies they employed for the maximisation of social engagement and inclusion, reduction of the environmental impact and energy efficiency improvement. This paper will propose a methodological approach leading towards the creation of Energy Communities within small historical villages, not only addressing the need for clean energy supply and environmental impact mitigation, but also respecting and preserving the heritage value and covering the social, economic, cultural aspects of the revitalisation.
