“…Data and technology play the same role in creating such differences in SDG implementations and transition (Asaad et al. , 2023; Soliman and Soliman, 2022). Prior research has addressed the challenges of implementing the SDGs resulting from the adequate recourse offered by national statistical offices (Yamin, 2019).…”

“…While most studies explore PHD by investigating how cities may address these threats to their well-being by increasing economic output (Ahmad, 2020) and productivity (Monkkonen et al ., 2020). Some work has focused on intensifying cultural production in underserved communities and the informal economy that confront Global South challenges (Soliman and Soliman, 2022; Wang, ogilvie and Richardson, 2021).…”

PurposeSustainable development (SD) is vital in alleviating poverty, hunger and disease (PHD). The purpose of this study is to present a guiding framework with pathways targeting the sustainability challenges concerning PHD based on urban planning and design literature.Design/methodology/approachA narrative review and content analysis of 27 articles published by 11 journals indexed in Scopus were conducted using bibliometrics analysis.FindingsThe study’s findings discuss contemporary normative planning and design ideas and their ability to alleviate PHD. Considering these findings, the authors recommend that urban planning and design implementation processes carefully pursue the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Vision 2030 by tracking qualitative metrics that consider social, cultural and spiritual well-being.Originality/valueThe contribution is to propose a conceptual framework for alleviating hunger, poverty and disease through Vision 2030. Practitioners and policymakers can use this framework to assess the impact of their actions. Hunger, poverty and disease research could be guided by this framework to identify and prioritize best practices in cities of the Global South.

“…Out of the 5.9 million people living in Alexandria, roughly 95 percent reside in the city itself, while the rest of the population residing in Burg Al Arab new town and the surrounding areas (Hassan et al, 2023). Alexandria is regarded as the most popular summer travel destination (Soliman & Soliman, 2022). It should be noted that a government report issued by the Tourism Office in the General Office of Alexandria Governorate stated that the number of foreign tourists who visited Alexandria city during the past year ( 2023) amounted to about 84,161 thousand, at a rate of 12%, followed by Arabs, 81,567 thousand, indicating that the number of Egyptians recorded about 540,118 thousand representing 77% of the total number (www.alexandria.gov.eg ).…”

The progression of technology has facilitated the examination of each user interaction and click on electronic devices. Tourists leave a digital "footprint" in most of their activities in the cities they visit; a significant amount of these data is geolocated. Studying the spatial and temporal preferences of individuals and patterns of movement represents a major factor that must be taken into account when designing urban land use policies, as contributions to the study of the spatial behavior of urban tourists in cities are still lacking. Therefore, the present study offers insights into user behavior in urban environments, facilitating the identification and examination of areas where there is a high concentration of tourist activities and enabling the identification of inactive zones within the urban area. The main aim of this research is to introduce a method for monitoring the level of tourist activity pulse in cities by examining User-Generated Content data. The novelty of this study is apparent in several key aspects: firstly, it concentrates on the intersections of eating, shopping, sightseeing, and nightlife activities in a chosen city for the case study; secondly, it presents a novel method for describing urban tourist activity centers and identifying areas of interest from the perspective of users, utilizing Location-Based Social Networking data by employing spatial clustering analysis. Thirdly, the proposed reference framework incorporates LBSN data, serving as a supplementary tool for urban planning and decisionmaking processes aimed at improving city urban dynamics. In this sense, an exploratory study was carried out using a case-study approach in Alexandria, Egypt by employing a GIS program-QGIS, Prizren 3.32 version. The findings of this study have significant implications for tourism destination managers, urban planners and scientists interested in the analysis of urban dynamics, to orientating urban land-use planning and formulating tourism strategies that align with urban revitalization and regeneration to address imbalances in various areas.

“…Researchers, task forces, committees, and the media constantly provide information on global and national socioecological change [22][23][24][25][26]. At the organizational level, technological, environmental, political, social, cultural, and economic developments [27][28][29][30][31][32][33] increase turbulence in organizational environments [34][35][36][37][38][39]. Consequently, organizations and employees must minimize the adverse effects of shocks, setbacks, crises, and change and thrive despite (detrimental) change.…”

Resilient agility is a novel concept that refers to the combined resilience-agility capability that allows an actor to successfully perform in rapidly changing contexts. Change dynamics, at all levels, increase uncertainties and responsibilities for employees augmenting the need to strengthen the self via resilient agility. This study examines employee resilient agility as anteceded by supervisors’ safety, coworkers’ safety, workplace belongingness, job satisfaction, willingness to embrace organizational change, and creativity. Respondents are from multiple organizations, industries, and regions of the United States. Analyses were carried out utilizing PLS-SEM software. Findings indicate that supervisors’ safety, workplace belongingness, willingness to embrace organizational change, and creativity have substantial effects on explaining and understanding employees’ resilient agility. In contrast, the effects of coworkers’ safety were insignificant. This study (a) contributes to the nomological network of resilient agility by examining a set of its key antecedents and (b) suggests that drastic organizational restructuring (e.g., significant changes in the relative proportion of remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic) may negatively impact both relational-based constructs in organizations and employees’ ability to rapidly and effectively respond to change. Theoretical and practical implications as well as limitations and future research are discussed.
