“…It should be introduced in place of the PBC indicator in the MPZP. It would allow the creation of BGI masterplans, control urban environment quality in terms of sanitation, and build the ecosystem-based resilience of Polish cities to climate change and extreme weather events, significantly impacting towns in the Wielkopolska region [76,77]. Moreover, some applications could have a positive impact on reducing the outflow and decreasing environmental degradation [78].…”

In Polish law, no mechanisms exist to maximize the application and protection of blue and green infrastructure (BGI) in urban areas. A comprehensive legal framework does not entirely govern urban BGI facilities. Urban planning lacks an appropriate indicator, first and foremost. This study aimed to analyze the Polish legal criteria for the viability of designing and implementing BGI facilities. The authors also researched ways to aid legislators in growing and maintaining BGI in urban areas. In Poznań, a case study was carried out on applying the greenery planning and design law. Local spatial development plans (MPZP) are now the only legal tools in Poland that allow for the protection and establishment of BGI. According to data from Statistics Poland for 2021, the proportion of the country’s total area covered by existing local plans (based on current law) is around 20.51%. When the MPZP does not cover a portion of a municipality, administrative decisions are made by issuing development conditions (WZ) for the plot. WZ may become a tool for environmental damage under investment pressure. Ideas put forward by the authors are: (1) creating urban nature reserves (as one method of land use); (2) evaluating BGI as an integral part of eco-physiographic studies and spatial planning; and (3) creating a new urban indicator with more complex parameters.

“…Resilient planning focuses on the ability of individuals, communities, and cities to effectively deal with various challenges and uncertainties and takes advantage of possibilities for transformational and sustainable development. A literature review of the studies on urban resilience showed that concepts such as definition (Meerow et al, 2016 [11]; Meerow & Newell, 2019 [12]), theoretical framework (Ribeiro & Gonçalves, 2019 [13]), and assessment (Sharifi & Yamagata, 2016 [14]; Dianat et al, 2022 [15]), as well as diverse disasters, such as floods (Song et al, 2019 [16]; Bertilsson et al, 2019 [17]; Yu et al, 2023 [18]), hurricanes (Campanella, 2006 [19]; Burton, 2015 [20]), tsunamis (Tumini et al, 2017 [21]), earthquakes (Ainuddin, & Routray, 2012 [22]; Allan, 2013 [23]), climate change (Boyd & Juhola, 2015 [24]; Zheng et al, 2018 [25]; Lu et, al., 2022 [26]), extreme weather (Chory ński et al, 2023 [27]) and post-disaster reconstruction (Guo, 2012 [28]; Xu & Shao, 2020 [29]) have been investigated worldwide. The spatial scale of these resilience-related studies varied from global (Leitner et al, 2018 [30]; Langemeyer et al, 2021 [31]), and regional (Christopherson et al, 2010 [32]; Peng et al, 2017 [33]; Huang, 2022 [34]) to national (DeWit et al, 2020 [35]; Elkhidir et al, 2023 [36]), and urban (Cariolet et al, 2019 [37]; Sharifi, 2019 [38]), rural (Scott, 2013 [39]; Huang et al, 2018 [40]; Baldwin et al, 2023 [41]), as well as community (Berkes & Ross, 2013 [42]; Fang et al, 2018 [43]; Rapaport et al, 2018 [44]), and building (Roostaie et al, 2019 [45]).…”

Urban areas with an imbalanced vulnerability to disasters have garnered attention. Building an urban resilience index helps to develop a progressively favored instrument for tracking progress toward disaster-resilient cities. However, there remains a lack of empirical studies on measuring urban resilience, with limited focus on the spatial-temporal characteristics of urban resilience to disasters, particularly relevant in developing nations like China. Thus, a refined urban resilience index to disasters based on the subcomponents of infrastructure, environment, socio-economy, and institution is suggested in this study. This index-based assessment framework is applied and validated to measure the spatial-temporal resilience using a real-world case study in Chengdu, China. The main findings of this study indicate that: (1) the overall urban resilience of Chengdu has been growing toward better conditions, with infrastructural resilience accounting for the majority of this growth. (2) The distribution of urban resilience exhibits a regional disparity and a spatially polarized pattern. (3) The agglomeration characteristics of urban resilience are significant. (4) There is a clear regional mismatch in the distribution of urban resilience to disaster risk. The validated model offers a comprehensive and replicable approach for urban resilience assessment and planning, especially for disaster-frequent regions.

“…Many studies analyzed high air temperatures concerning in increased mortality among at-risk populations, such as elderly people or people with cardiovascular diseases (Kenney et al 2014;Yin and Wang 2017;Rodrigues et al 2020;2021). This is not only a problem of large agglomerations; also, people living in small towns and villages are under increased risk of mortality during heat waves (Graczyk et al 2022) and other extreme weather events resulting in large losses (Choryński et al 2023). The high air temperature has also influence on the psychotic exacerbation of symptoms for many specific mental and behavioral disorders (Semenza et al 1999;McMichael et al 2006;Wang et al 2014) or even on increasing risk of suicide (Kim et al 2019).…”

This study offers a likely assessment of extreme meteorological events’ impact on human perceptivity, frame of mind or even health during driving which might have had a consequence as a car accident. Research covered an analysis of car accidents during period 2010–2019 in the Wielkopolska (Poland) and four indices like maximum daily temperature, maximum value of humidex, difference between maximum temperatures observed from day to day and also difference between mean atmospheric pressure at the sea level observed from day to day. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) approach was used to obtain the relationship between these indices and car accidents. Our finding evidence that the “good weather for a ride” conditions are actually generating an increased risk of accidents. For indices related to high temperature, i.e., maximum temperature and humidex, it was possible to identify the critical values by which the risks of car accidents were the highest.
