To close the loop for circular economy (CE) transition in construction industry, forward logistics (FL) and reverse (RL), as enabling operations CE, are important topics to be addressed. However, current research mainly focuses on either FL or RL, with a lack of synthesis that presents an overview bi-directional system integrating RL related mechanisms loop. This review, therefore, explores cases arena through systematic literature review (SLR) process. A framework synthesize compare both...

Public participation has been growing in both theory and practice of urban planning, including heritage planning. The reasoning is to facilitate the involvement a broader group stakeholders, beyond experts. More specifically, for could enable consensus-building on defining significance heritage, namely attributes (the resources that should be listed as heritage), values reasons are important). However, there not yet holistic understanding influencing factors behind participatory planning...

Heritage planning is changing, in both theory and practice. There greater attention to the cultural significance (values attributes) conveyed a heritage property, rather than focusing on property alone. Identifying revealing this has become critical step planning. Moreover, international guidelines increasingly encourage public participation defining of sites. However, effectively involving diverse stakeholders capturing they attribute remains challenge, particularly when dealing with...

Future development shall ethical, inclusive, just implications...

Industrial land is under transition globally. Insights into this are important to plan a sustainable future. Since industrial follows parcel shapes and the process requires multi-year data observe impacts of such changes, vector should be used analyse transition. This paper presents framework path-dependent regional processes using data. A step by instruction presented. In analysis, changed percentages use in surroundings appeared or disappeared visualized. The visualized surrounding...

As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) swept the world in early 2020, all Chinese universities and colleges adopted online learning to fulfill directive saying “classes suspended but continues.” Understanding impact of this large-scale experience on future intention university students can help design better blended-learning activities. This study applies flow theory planned behavior (TPB) construct a theoretical framework for assumption making assumptions made are validated by data gained...

In this paper, a new algorithm for dynamic airspace configuration is developed based on graph theory. A model first constructed that accurately represents the air-route structure and air traffic in National Airspace System. The problem then formulated as graph-partitioning to balance subgraph (sector) workload while satisfying capacity constraint, which efficiently solved by spectral clustering method. Since original method shows some undesirable properties, such disconnected subgraphs...

The unprecedented scale and varied forms of urban redevelopment in China provide an experimental field for understanding the transformation governance. Noting that existing studies have often focused on coastal or developed Chinese cities, this study examines Wuhan, inland city. We use Erqi Riverfront Business District (RBD) project as a case to examine evolving entrepreneurial governance Wuhan. found making RBD is featured by absolutely dominant role local state, with public private...

To improve the economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture, information is needed on how to target research, teaching, outreach programs. However, conducting survey research in general, with agricultural producers specifically, increasingly challenging given issues such as declining response rates limited resources. While studies examining best practices for promoting higher exist, few focus explicitly producers. In three separate surveys conducted South Dakota 2018 2019, we...

The global climate change has resulted in huge flood damages, which seriously hinders the sustainable development of rural economy and society causes famers’ livelihood problems. In flood-prone areas, it is imperative to actively study short long-term strategies solve farmers’ problems accordingly. Following analysis framework proposed by Department for International Development (DFID), this collects empirical data 360 households six sample villages Jialing River Basin Sichuan Province,...
