Despite a publicly-funded healthcare system, alarming cancer-related health and inequities persist in Canada. However, it remains unclear how equity is being understood taken up within the Canadian cancer context. Our objective was to identify are discussed as goals or aims care sector
Education may encourage personal and collective responses to climate change, but education has proven surprisingly difficult complex. Self-perception of knowledge intelligence represent one factor that impact willingness learn about change. We explored this possibility with a case study in Raleigh, North Carolina 2015 (n = 200). Our goal was test how gender ethnicity influenced perceptions people had their own change knowledge. Survey respondents were asked strongly they agreed the statement...
Population growth and unrestricted development policies are driving low-density urbanization fragmentation of peri-urban landscapes across North America. While private individuals own most undeveloped land, little is known about how their decision-making processes shape landscape-scale patterns over time. We introduce a hybrid agent-based modeling (ABM) – cellular automata (CA) approach, developed for analyzing dynamic feedbacks between landowners' decisions to sell land development,...
ABSTRACT Objectives: (1) To evaluate how ecosystem services may be utilized to either reinforce or fracture the planning and development practices that emerged from segregation economic exclusion; (2) survey current state of service assessments synthesize a growing number recommendations literature for renovating analyses. Methods: Utilizing maps distribution in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, South Africa, we considered democratized process assessing will produce more nuanced...

Assessing the potential vulnerability of future changes climate is an important first step prioritizing and planning for conservation. Although assessments commonly are done species, fewer...
The capacity of households in urban environments to adapt and react climate change can affect the resilience whole community, instruments for systematically measuring that are needed. We used Raleigh, NC as a case study explore dimensions autonomous adaptive create scale associated survey instrument measure them. Our approach was guided by four capitals support human livelihoods: social, human, physical, financial. surveyed 200 NC, principal components analysis test instrument. Results...
