“…Our evidence opens up important parallels for policy design. Since both emergencies pose systemic risks to human perspectives and both require restrictive measures, the COVID-19 emotive memory could be used to get citizens on board and foster the development of participatory planning tools [62][63][64]. In particular, the above-mentioned psychological drivers (perceived imminence of threat and availability heuristic) might be exploited to enhance public support in favor of ambitious climate policies.…”

Applying the Theory of Planned Behavior to Examine Pro-Environmental Behavior: The Moderating Effect of COVID-19 Beliefs

The COVID-19 pandemic and climate change issues present evident interdependencies which justify the spread of connected beliefs. We examine possible changes in individuals’ pro-environmental behavior in light of this pandemic, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. A questionnaire survey was submitted to the same sample of individuals, before and during the pandemic. Our evidence, based on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has not led to a weakening in TPB construct relationships, or in related Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB). Conversely, through our Partial Least Squares-Multi-Group Analysis (PLS-MGA), we show that individuals with greater awareness of interdependencies between the COVID-19 and climate change exhibit both higher Intention and reinforced Pro-Environmental Behaviors. This finding reveals interesting policy implications in terms of innovative behavioral drivers that should be employed to steer public support towards climate-oriented initiatives.

“…The project includes 16 fire channels, seven newly-added micro fire stations, 260 fire hydrants, 85 residential buildings, and 36 garbage collection stations. This project has special meaning in the history of Chinese community micro-regeneration as an example of state market society cooperation within this type of project was widely discussed by scholars previously [38,42,44]. Moreover, according to follow-up media reports, some residents, scholars, and other stakeholders also became actively involved in the whole process.…”

“…On the one hand, the key to improving urban problems lies in coordinating public projects, and emphasising participation as the main role in the projects [39][40][41]. On the other hand, as Wang and Chan (2020) revealed, unbridled divergent interests can enhance the gaps between expected and actual outcomes [42]. Governance is designed to coordinate multiple stakeholders and multi-dimensional policy objectives [43].…”

Urban regeneration has become one of the most effective ways to develop urban areas that have declined. Compared with other types of urban regeneration, community micro-regeneration is characterised by scattered stakeholders. Existing studies on public participation in community micro-regeneration mainly focus on revealing the interaction between different stakeholders with less attention to the main users’ social profiles in their participation process. This paper explores residents’ social profiles influencing their participation in community micro-regeneration projects in China. An evaluation framework for residents’ participation in community micro-regeneration projects is designed through literature research, the Delphi technique, and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on the case study of Yongtai community, Guangzhou. Relative residents’ social profiles with the data from the questionnaire and literature research are further verified by stepwise linear regression. The results show that residents’ participation is still in the stage of tokenism with high-level passive information receipt but low-level enthusiasm for interactive activities. The older (i.e., 65-years of age and above) and middle-income groups (i.e., between 3000 and 14,999 CNY/Month) are positively associated with their participation in the Yongtai community micro-regeneration project. These findings can provide references for managers to distribute social resources.

“…The role of social interaction in maintaining a healthy lifestyle has been well documented [ 105 ]. However, public participation in the decision-making processes related to life and well-being, as well as participation at the community level, tend to be lacking in practice [ 106 , 107 , 108 ]. As one vital dimension of spatial perception, safety can be influenced by traffic conditions, fire hazards, and varied urban environments.…”

A recent examination of the significant role of public health has prompted calls to re-investigate how the urban environment affects public health. A vital part of the solution includes Healthy City initiatives that have been the subject of extensive policies, implications, and practices globally. However, the existing literature mainly focuses on big cities and metropolitan areas, while investigations into small and midsized cities (SMCs) are lacking, and thus reflect the underlying issues of health inequity. This study develops an indicator system for evaluating Healthy City initiatives in SMCs, linking urban design and public health, supported by the analyzed opinions from experts collected using both questionnaires and interviews. The indicator system includes six primary dimensions and 37 variables: urban form and transportation (UFT); health-friendly service (HFS); environmental quality and governance (EQG); community and facility (CF); green and open space (GOS); and ecological construction and biodiversity (ECB). A fuzzy synthetic evaluation technique was used to assess the relative importance of factors, emphasizing the importance of UFT, HFS, and EQG, with importance indexes of 0.175, 0.174, and 0.174, respectively. This indicator system is helpful for SMCs seeking to construct a Healthy City in the future, and is based on urban design and governance inputs and for enhancing the Healthy City knowledge base of cities of varied scales.
