This study examines the public perception of 2009 H1N1 influenza risk and its association with flu-related knowledge, social contexts, preventive behaviors during second wave outbreak in Arizona.Statistical analyses were conducted on survey data, which collected from a random-digit telephone general Arizona October 2009.The perceived different levels regarding likelihood their concern about contracting flu. These measures primarily correlated people Hispanic ethnicity, having children...
To examine public knowledge, perceptions, and preparedness for the 2009 influenza A/H1N1 pandemic.We conducted a telephone survey of selected households in Arizona during month October 2009.Among 727 interviewed, one-third (34%) were not aware that terms swine flu H1N1 refer to same virus. Many believed it is more difficult contract (27%) than seasonal (14%). About three-quarters respondents perceived situation as urgent (76%), but only about those surveyed family member would get sick with...
South Korea has experienced two national public health crises during this decade. The 2015 Middle East respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) response’s failure to address coordination problems or authority conflicts provided an opportunity revise its disease control system before the 2020 coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. Our reflection on Korea’s MERS-CoV and COVID-19 responses provides a perspective emergency management. It is difficult project scale of emerging infectious in...
To shed some light on longstanding questions around gentrification, in this research we model environmental gentrification and gentrification-related displacement of residents. We do through the development an agent-based a simple urban region, considering different contexts policy approaches to polluted facilities relationship these policies with subsequent displacement. find that is most likely, impactful, regions characterized by high levels density low residential segregation...
Objective In the environmental justice literature, uncertainty exists about underlying causes of risk disparities, especially as they relate to residential choices. To simplify, two dominant views are racism/discrimination versus inevitable market dynamics. this article, we move aside from these examine potential role various choice constraints on injustice and how may be interrelated. Methods Using an agent‐based simulation model, interaction race‐based with other experimental conditions...
Green gentrification posits that urban greening initiatives (e.g., large new parks) can fuel gentrification. To help cities avoid this dilemma, study examines the conditions under which did or not promote neighborhood in Chicago from 2010 to 2020. Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis, we find a park alone cause gentrification, but it when located within areas experiencing spillover effects and lacking both preexisting green space government-assisted public housing. Conversely, already have...
Several theories have been proposed to explain societal environmental injustices. Studies based on standard statistical methods and empirical data are often limited in testing some of these theories. This is especially true when potential reasons (eg, racism) for unjust outcomes invidious, even individual-level surveys) unlikely be effective detecting them. We use agent-based modeling explore the circumstances under which racially defined injustice occurs a society. test three competing an...
Governance systems continue to become more networked, collaborative, and interdependent. A computational approach understanding capitalizing on the complexity of such can provide invaluable insights managing enhancing performance. Building upon a complex adaptive view, this article demonstrates use computer simulation modeling understand performance in networked governance inform practitioners how benefits be harvested from evolution structures. The contributes management field by directing...
This article presents an agent-based computational analysis of the effects externality zoning on environmental justice (EJ). We experiment with two ideal types zoning: proactive and reactive. In absence zoning, injustice emerges minority agents have lower average quality than majority agents. With which allows polluting firms only in designated zones, EJ problems are less severe appear more tractable. reactive creates buffering zones around firms, tends to emerge quickly as compared but...
The theme of the 16 th International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o 2015) -"Digital and Wicked Problems" -drew attention to increasingly complex global problems we are facing today.In late 1960s, term "wicked problems" was coined refer societal public planning that had no definitive solutions [1,2].Many problems, such as those identified in conference -climate change, urbanization, inequality -often exhibit characteristics "wickedness" sense they both difficult define...
This study addresses validity issues in evaluation that stem from Ernest R. House’s book, Evaluating With Validity. The authors examine American Journal of Evaluation articles 1980 to 2010 report the results policy and program evaluations. classify these evaluations according “major approaches” typology (Systems Analysis, Behavioral Objectives, Decision making, Goal-free, Professional Review, Art Criticism, Quasi-legal, Case Study) types (measurement, design, interpretation, use) consider....
Despite efforts to control fraud in public assistance programs, the perception and realities of problem persist. Serious barriers related data collection research methods impede understanding how why occurs, thereby limiting options for improving program integrity. This article argues that based on a complex adaptive systems (CAS) perspective, social welfare can be understood as collective outcome emerging from repeated interactions among stakeholders during routinized business processes...
Insufficient specifications about public health emergency coordination involving government entities have been criticized as a contributing factor in managerial and institutional shortcomings. In response, this study analyzed the plan actions taken during 2015 Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak South Korea. Using network data, we found low congruence between planned response networks those carried out. This result was observed for two reasons. First, unrealized...
