Abstract

Purpose Global climate change speeds up ice melting and increases flooding incidents. China launched a sponge city policy as a holistic nature-based solution combined with urban planning and development to address flooding due to climate change. Using Weibo analytics, this paper aims to study public perceptions of sponge city. Design/methodology/approach This study collected 53,586 sponge city contents from Sina Weibo via Python. Various artificial intelligence tools, such as CX Data Science of Simply Sentiment, KH Coder and Tableau, were applied in the study. Findings 76.8% of public opinion on sponge city were positive, confirming its positive contribution to flooding management and city branding. 17 out of 31 pilot sponge cities recorded the largest number of sponge cities related posts. Other cities with more Weibo posts suffered from rainwater and flooding hazards, such as Xi'an and Zhengzhou. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to explore the public perception of sponge city in Sina Weibo.

海绵城市对实现循环目标和应对气候变化的感知——基于微博的研究

全球气候变化加速了冰融化，增加了洪水事件。中国推出了海绵城市政策，将其作为一种基于自然的整体解决方案，与城市规划和发展相结合，以应对气候变化引起的洪水。运用微博分析，研究公众对海绵城市的认知。设计/方法/方法本研究通过Python从新浪微博上收集了53586条海绵城市内容。运用CX Data Science of simple Sentiment、KH Coder、Tableau等多种人工智能工具进行研究，发现76.8%的公众舆论对海绵城市持肯定态度，证实了海绵城市对洪水治理和城市品牌建设的积极贡献。在31个试点海绵城市中，有17个海绵城市相关岗位数量最多。其他微博数量较多的城市也遭受了雨水和洪水的威胁，比如西安和郑州。原创性/价值据作者所知，本研究首次探讨了公众在新浪微博上对海绵城市的认知。

期刊介绍： Effective from volume 10 (2018), International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management is an open access journal. In the history of science there have been only a few issues which have mobilized the attention of scientists and policy-makers alike as the issue of climate change currently does. International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management is an international forum that addresses the need for disseminating scholarly research, projects and other initiatives aimed to facilitate a better understanding of the subject matter of climate change. The journal publishes papers dealing with policy-making on climate change, and methodological approaches to cope with the problems deriving from climate change. It disseminates experiences from projects and case studies where due consideration to environmental, economic, social and political aspects is given and especially the links and leverages that can be attained by this holistic approach. It regards climate change under the perspective of its wider implications: for economic growth, water and food security, and for people''s survival – especially those living in the poorest communities in developing countries.
