“…Patil and Sharma (2020), also studied similar indicator under safety, security and environmental impact under gender role inspiring the quality of urban live in India (Patil & Sharma, 2020). It is important for Indian cities that the factors need to be further investigated to gain insights into perceived and measured components that influence environmental quality (Dutta et al, 2013). Meanwhile, the resident's perception in this present study shows a remarkable agreement on the satisfaction on women safety followed by the others indicators like satisfaction on crime management and satisfaction on cleanliness.…”

United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal targets to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable; as it is predicting 95% urban expansion in the next decades. Consequently, urban livability can serve as a useful conceptual and analytical framework to improve the quality of urban life by facilitating the evaluation of the person–environment relationship and leading the improvement without deteriorating the environmental conditions. This present paper aims to identify the dimensions and indicators of subjective and objective livability for Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC). The residents’ perception has been carried out using stratified random sampling technique. Samples have been collected from the residents from each core, semi-periphery and peripheral areas of SMC. Mainly, adaptation of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) model involves four livability dimensions; under which the overall model explains 65% of the total variance indicating with the high reliability (α > 0.7) and the Goodness-of-fit index (GFI) about 0.90. The result indicates that, ‘Accessibility Factor’ bears the highest impact (24.91%) among the four latent variables and ‘Socio-Economic’ factor has the lower impact (8.39%) upon the urban livability.

This study investigates the long-run relationship and short-run dynamics among urbanization, output growth, and environmental quality in Nigeria. The study adopts autoregressive distributed lag, bounds test co-integration analysis and the autoregressive integrated moving average with the annual time series dataset for 1990-2021. A long-run equilibrium relationship among urbanization, output growth, and environmental quality is established. Urban population, output growth, per capita GDP, and population growth are all significantly related to CO2 emissions. The study confirms the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis on per capita GDP and CO2 emissions in Nigeria. The positive interactive effect of urban population and output growth reduces CO2 emissions just as an increase in per capita GDP in a previous period produces a short-run effect of reducing CO2 emissions. The first-period lagged change in per capita GDP reports a marginal statistically significant negative effect on current CO2 emissions. The study utilizes data on past CO2 emissions to predict how CO2 emissions might evolve in the coming years and to examine the environmental sustainability of Nigeria. The forecast of CO2 emissions for 2023-2030 are relatively stable with some marginal fluctuations, which confirm the validated EKC. To sustain the validated inverted U-shaped EKC and to avoid it assuming an N-shape in the future, this study recommends environmental policy focus to monitor the growth of large cities and to implement measures capable of mitigating CO2 emissions by decoupling economic growth from CO2 emissions; and by encouraging investment in clean energy sources, sustainable transportation, and industrial practices.

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between spatial configuration and spatial quality, and how they affect each other. Spatial quality is a sophisticated concept and encompasses physical, social, economic, cultural and environmental components. Urban squares reflect these parameters and also play a decisive role in urban identity as areas of apparent urban culture and collective memory. Spatial configuration also determines the character of the squares as a result of morphological feature of cities. In the study, qualitative and quantitative methods are used together. Initially, the case study was conducted on two pier squares, San Marco Square (Venice) and Beşiktaş Square (Istanbul) according to fifty public space quality parameters. Secondly, morphological analysis was performed through space syntax method. It has been investigated whether there is a connection between spatial configuration and the factors determining the quality of space or not. As a result, it has been revealed that the spatial configuration is one of the determining factors being assessed the quality of the space, however, it does not provide sufficient data alone. The importance of this article is that it proposes an analytical approach that includes both quantitative and qualitative components of spatial quality.
