This research explores how a new concept, support for energy transition narratives, and other commonly applied social licence factors influence local acceptance of large-scale solar farms. Producing renewable electricity requires deploying more technology infrastructure host communities will be paramount. There is dearth studies that investigate comprehensive set Moreover, there lack considering broader environmental worldview beliefs about the level infrastructure. Survey data from large,...
Although most older people prefer to age in place, nonetheless many do relocate, with a small proportion moving retirement villages, which provide purpose designed and built residential lifestyle environment. Using factor analyses, path push – pull framework, the authors model decision process of retirees Australia order identify relationships between factors predictor variables, using data from national survey village residents. The relate change lifestyle, home maintenance, social...
The strategic use of science in regional policy-making forums often assumes collaborative interactions between stakeholders. However, other types stakeholder are possible. This paper uses the ecology games to frame an investigation into participation policy networks for climate change planning South East Queensland, Australia. We tracked organisational 2008 and 2012. then used a novel bipartite network theoretical approach identify by different organisations across shared multiple forums,...
This article presents the conceptual basis for empirically testing relationship between community wellbeing and resilience. Previous research has argued that rural communities facing rapid economic, social environmental change need to be resilient maintain or enhance their wellbeing. However, it is often not clear what meant by resilience, how they differ. Both concepts are imprecise seldom clearly distinguished from each other when placed in a theoretical context. Further, resilience...
Numerous theories apply to fear of crime and each are associated with different kinds variables. Most studies use only one theory, though this study examines the relative importance variables across a number theories. The uses data from survey residents in Brisbane, Australia examine individual attributes, neighbourhood disorder, social processes structure predicting crime. Individual attributes disorder were found be important predictors crime, while far less important. theoretical...
Abstract Urban consolidation involving increasing densification around existing nodes of urban infrastructure is a strategy pursued by all levels government for addressing rapid population growth in regions. This has both positive and negative impacts on the everyday lives residents (or their liveability as perceived them), even though commonly resisted residents. paper aims to better understand comparing similarities differences between two Brisbane suburbs: an outer fringe suburb (Wynnum)...
This is the fourth in a series of publications examining Australians’ responses to climate change. Introduction report presents basic findings survey undertaken July and August 2013 with 5219 Australians. The forms part longitudinal research program investigating ways which Australians think about These respondents included cohort 2202 people who had two or more these surveys since 2010. We present snapshot current Australian attitudes behaviours relevant change, an analysis changes was...
Abstract There are inherent complexities and tensions in achieving a responsible balance between safeguarding patients’ privacy sharing genomic data for advancing health medical science. A growing body of literature suggests establishing patient ownership, enabled by blockchain technology, as one approach managing these priorities. We conducted an online survey, applying mixed methods to collect quantitative (using scale questions) qualitative open-ended questions). explored the views 117...
Technology plays a central role in mining activities throughout Australia and is critical to achieving greater economic environmental sustainability. Our choices about which technologies develop, adopt deploy the landscape reflect one of most interfaces between society. There have been numerous reviews studies social licence industry, examined way public perceptions influence broad acceptance approval activities. However, very few extractive methods used by industry. This paper therefore...
Neighbourhood environments shape older adults' social interactions. This research conceptualises a comprehensive set of perceived and objective measures neighbourhood built environments, including third places, with In Melbourne, based on the person-environment fit framework, mediation analyses showed that environment community spirit, participation in groups belonging to suburb, were strongest predictors interactions, followed by few types places. Our findings suggest policymakers should...
Abstract What encourages use of seasonal climate forecasts? Considerable effort is being applied in developing forecasts and demonstrating the potential benefits available to farmers from using forecasts. This study examines three factors underlying by farmers: level forecast understanding farmers, format presentation forecasts, attitude towards usefulness as indicators future rainfall. Using judgement analysis, cropping decisions was determined for 73 Australian farmers. Then a moderated...
Political will for action on climate change requires support from the electorate and low levels of skepticism. Rational models suggest that skepticism influences voting behavior; however, other theories reverse direction influence may also hold. There is a body research associations between political preferences, but this has been limited to cross-sectional analyses. This article uses longitudinal data cross-lagged modeling infer in post-election context. We found behavior influenced after...
Research suggests an association between participative management and lower work-to-life interference. We extend these findings to the public sector examine possible pathways which link them, hypothesizing that reduces interference through its impact on other work attributes. Using a survey of employees in Queensland, Australia structural equation modelling, results show participatory consistently via number pathways: by increasing flexibility hours, meaningful work, reducing workload,...
