Urban parks play a vital role in enhancing residents’ well-being, making it essential for decision-makers and designers to understand the factors influencing park satisfaction improve attributes. While existing studies primarily focus on internal characteristics, this study investigates diverse ways that external environmental influence satisfaction. Using moderated regression models, we examined six factors, i.e., quality of neighborhood compound greenspaces, perceived home–park distance,...
Globally, old urban neighborhood transformation has become a new sustainability focus for its significant contribution to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 11. A regeneration-oriented approach is particularly important Chinese cities with dwindling land supply, obsoleting infrastructure, and inadequate standard of living. Using mixed-methods informed by BREEAM Communities, we examined two initiatives—old renewal (OUNR) sponge city development (SCD)—through comprehensive study...
Abstract Background Prescribed burning is a beneficial fire management practice used by practitioners worldwide to meet multiple land objectives, including reduction of wildfire hazard, promotion biodiversity, and vegetation for wildlife human interests. Meeting these objectives can be difficult due the need institutional coordination, resource policy constraints, community support. We examined dynamics in United States’ mid-Atlantic region because prescribed use increasing broadening set...
Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is increasingly implemented worldwide to address issues while providing co-benefits such as habitat provision. However, research on public perceptions of GSI’s ecosystem benefits limited, and barriers perception maintenance hinder biodiversity promotion in GSI. Through an online survey (n = 781), we explored how residents four Northeast US urban areas—Prince George’s County Montgomery County, MD, New York City, Philadelphia, PA—perceived the concerns...
Public satisfaction is an important indicator of the success environmental policies and management practices. China’s sponge city development (SCD) initiative was launched in 2014 has received international attention for its technical advancements achievements. satisfaction, however, not been fully investigated cities transformed by SCD. This study uses public surveys structural equation modeling to evaluate people’s with SCD four pilot cities, how familiarity SCD, perceived benefits,...
