Purpose Recent scholarship has explored higher education institutions’ (HEIs) role in transitioning to a sustainable society, but empirically, questions remain regarding their impact on the sustainability of surrounding areas. This study aims examine correlation between HEIs’ actions and local performance. Design/methodology/approach uses linear regression model principal component analysis performance 105 US metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) using cities development goal (SDG) index, which hosts 427 HEIs known for efforts. The weighted HEI score is calculated based QS universities ranking. Findings MSA exhibits mix positive negative associations, with individual interlinked SDGs serving as proxies. These correlations encompass wide range goals, from economic aspects SDG 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, social SDG10 16, socio-environmental SDG12. Research limitations/implications Further exploration needed identify causal mechanisms behind associations measures performance, whether influenced by institution, or both. Practical implications suggests that are already associated some community sustainability, greater contributions broader array possible. Social found SDG10, 12 16 index an highlights connection attainment societal goals.

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Cross-sector collaborations are key to sustainability transitions yet remain understudied. In this study, we assess the readiness of nonprofit organizations for engaging in collaborative efforts. We develop and empirically validate a theoretical framework focusing on three dimensions readiness: awareness, capacity, actions. Using an important less-studied empirical context Singapore, informed by evidence from thirty-nine in-depth interviews, our findings reveal that nonprofits Singapore highly aware transition challenges opportunities possess capacities such as organizational agility digital adaptability. However, limited proactive actions noted, partially due predominant role state social services. Our research contributes understanding transitions, offering valuable insights strengthening whole-of-society approach transitions.

Опубликована: Март 24, 2023

Previous studies have paid little attention to the causal effect and mechanism between rural residents’ participation in cultural tourism industry of soil erosion control. To analyze this phenomenon empirically, study employs propensity scores matching (PSM) method mediating model explore impact on control ecologically fragile areas. Using data gathered from 572 households Shaanxi, Gansu Ningxia border region, China, results show that: (1) Compared with non-participation, positively influences effect; if residents participating did not participate, would decrease 2.715–2.844. (2) Considering heterogeneity endowments attributes technology, water is also heterogeneous. (3) Mechanism analysis confirms that mainly affects through increased non-agricultural income, optimal allocation labor, improved environmental protection awareness.
