Influencing Factors of Residents’ Green Perception Under Urban–Rural Differences: A Socio-Ecological Model Approach

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(8), P. 3475 - 3475

Published: April 14, 2025

With the advancement of global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), residents’ green perception has become a key factor in driving behavior and implementation environmental policies. However, due to differences socio-economic environments, policy enforcement, resource accessibility between urban rural areas, levels exhibit significant regional disparities. Based on Social Ecological Model, this study constructs an analytical framework encompassing individual, social relationships, community, policy, organizational systematically explore multi-level factors influencing perception. This collects data through questionnaire surveys employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) validate relationships variables at different levels. The findings indicate that is influenced by multiple interacting factors, among which knowledge attitudes individual level, family support networks relationship as well community atmosphere advocacy play particularly roles enhancing Furthermore, there are distinct mechanisms formation residents; residents rely more government policies infrastructure, whereas primarily direct experiences. deepens understanding urban–rural their providing region-specific recommendations promote widespread behavior, advance ecological civilization construction both facilitate achievement sustainable development goals.

Graphical representation of global water models

Geoscientific model development, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(8), P. 2409 - 2425

Published: April 23, 2025

Abstract. Numerical models are simplified representations of the real world at a finite level complexity. Global water used to simulate terrestrial part global cycle, and their outputs contribute evaluation important natural societal issues, including availability, flood risk, ecological functioning. Whilst modeling is an area science that has developed over several decades, individual model-specific descriptions exist for some models, there date been no attempt visualize ways work, using standardized visualization framework. Here, we address this gap by presenting community-driven process framework models. The considered participate in Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project phase 2b (ISIMIP2b). diagrams were co-produced between graphics designer 16 teams, based on extensive discussions pragmatic decision-making balanced need accuracy detail against effective visualization. model ISIMIP2b-complete represents what theoretically possible represent current generation state-of-the-art participating ISIMIP2b. Model-specific then copies model, with processes either included or grayed out. An open-source tool published jointly diagrams, which allows someone generate diagram own adapting presented here. As well as serving educational purpose, envisage will help researchers outside community select suitable model(s) specific applications, stimulate learning process, identify missing components direct future developments.

Sustainable Catchment-Wide Flood Management: A Review of the Terminology and Application of Sustainable Catchment Flood Management Techniques in the UK

Water, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(8), P. 1204 - 1204

Published: April 8, 2022

Climate change has seen increased pressures put on the existing ageing flood mitigation infrastructure. As a result, over recent decades there been shift from traditional hard-engineered approaches to flooding more sustainable methods that utilise nature-based processes in order slow flow, store water and increase infiltration. Doing so resulted range of different nomenclature for such techniques, particularly rural environment. This paper takes critical review terms draw parallels approaches, with aim developing unified, consistent approach management. Furthermore, links have drawn urban environment, where Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are used as flooding. The findings this identified series issues result current UK differentiating between risk, funding often given Natural Flood Management (NFM) projects separately SuDS, little integrated thinking source sea. Hence, suggests (1) greater consideration scale, focusing catchment whole, is required ensure holistic management, under phrase “sustainable catchment-wide management”, focus shifts NFM (rural) SuDS (urban), approach; (2) development robust policy regulatory framework, an widely adopted; (3) long-term costs also required, future research needed maintenance methods; (4) modelling can simulate flow at spatial temporal scales, support stakeholders, local authorities, risk engineers government agencies when considering not only areas, but understand impact beyond immediate area around scheme.

Awareness and willingness to pay for green roofs in Mediterranean areas

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 344, P. 118419 - 118419

Published: June 26, 2023

Green roofs have been extensively investigated in recent years, showing that their implementation urban areas provides multiple benefits (e.g., pluvial flood mitigation, heat island reduction, energy saving, increase of biodiversity, CO2 sequestration) and supports sustainable development. Although green roof widely recognized, the perception community has these nature-based solutions willingness to pay for installation is still not clear nor quantified. Societal are fundamental planners decision makers, since they represent participation development areas. In this work, we aim analyze how citizens perceive willing maintenance solutions. We used an online survey investigate knowledge as a potential solution common environmental issues (i.e., flood, temperature, consumption, air pollution lack spaces), interest on both public private roofs. Based answers 389 respondents living Sardinia (Italy), our analysis revealed most aware what are, that, although can completely solve issues, greatly contribute mitigation phenomena. Results also show higher buildings than ones, due high costs. Moreover, roofs, possibility install photovoltaic panels instead GRs generally preferred. Most spend less 100 € per year invest 5000 own house.
