However, by re-envisioning boundaries as potential public spaces and exploring their interactions with various stakeholders, these negative effects can be mitigated. This study analyzes multi-source data from 85 street segments in Dalian, China, to examine these interactions with the urban environment. A VIM-VDM model was developed to quantify interaction intensity, using two behavioral patterns—traversal and stationary activities—as dependent variables. Through machine learning-based semantic segmentation of street view images, 24 environmental factors across five dimensions were incorporated into a bivariate LOESS regression model to assess their impact on three boundary interaction types. Using Python's OpenCV library, population trajectory maps were generated and targeted strategies for two boundary types—H-type and I-type—were proposed. Results show that increasing entrance density and sidewalk width significantly enhance interactions in Fenced Type boundaries, while shop density, transparency, and seating improve interactions in Building-service Type boundaries. Factors like street length and height-width ratio suppress interactions in Building-life Type boundaries, whereas convex space ratio and build-to-line rate promote them. These findings suggest shifting urban renewal focus from “isolated centers” to “interactive boundaries” to foster shared spaces and resources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 106180"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both fixed and random effects models were estimated using panel data regression techniques, with log and signed square-root transformations applied to address skewed distributions. Robust standard errors (Driscoll-Kraay and Arellano-type) were employed to correct for heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. The findings demonstrate that the time required to obtain a grid connection significantly reduces both the number of startups (β = −0.17, p < 0.05) and the total funding received (β = −2.19, p < 0.01). In contrast, cost-related variables did not show significant effects. In contrast, population size strongly and consistently predicted startup activity and financing (β = 5.90 for number, β = 26.77 for funding; p < 0.001), and foreign direct investment positively influenced funding availability.

Existing supply chain analyses often cater to private sector needs, leaving gaps in tools accessible to policymakers and researchers. This paper introduces the Supply Chain Competitiveness Index (SCCI), a novel framework that leverages open-source data to assess supply chain competitiveness and resilience through three key indicators: domestic production capacity, import dependence, and innovation. The SCCI results reveal critical vulnerabilities and help to provide actionable insights to strengthen supply chain resilience, enhance economic competitiveness, and accelerate the green energy transition. Furthermore, it establishes a scalable foundation for evaluating other critical clean technology supply chains, offering practical tools for navigating the intersection of climate action and global competition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20970,"journal":{"name":"Resources Policy","volume":"107 ","pages":"Article 105664"},"PeriodicalIF":10.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144501566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study employs a multi-objective optimization approach using a Non-dominated Sorting Algorithm II (NSGA-II) integrated with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to maximize net present value (NPV), while minimizing electricity bills and carbon emissions. Key findings indicate that under the NM-FiT model, higher NPV leads to reduction in electricity bills and carbon emissions, while the PPA-FiT and PPA-REC models show a trade-off relationship between NPV and the other two optimization objectives. Furthermore, NPV changes significantly with fluctuations in the PPA rate and PPA proportion under the PPA-FiT and PPA-REC models, and is sensitive to changes in installed capacity under the NM-FiT model. These findings will enhance decision-making strategies and promoting sustainable energy goals in Hong Kong, which ultimately contributes to a more resilient and adaptive energy framework.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 114743"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study applies the 15-minute city concept and introduces an Accessibility Index that evaluates residential access to POIs, incorporating diversity metrics such as the Shannon and Simpson indices. The sidewalk infrastructure and pedestrian network connectivity are accessed using weighted POIs to measure walkable access. By defining a sustainable urban environment in terms of accessibility, POI richness, and evenness, the study delivers a robust tool for assessing the compliance of urban neighborhoods with the 15-minute city concept. Applied to Sofia's Lozenets district, the study examines 4000 POIs grouped and weighted based on their usage. GIS analysis calculates proximity, revealing significant differences in accessibility between neighborhoods, with better-planned areas showing stronger walkability. Results show significant differences in accessibility and diversity between different neighborhoods in the district, with less developed and newly built areas lagging behind more thoroughly planned and well-managed parts of the city where space for public infrastructure is well planned, distributed, and developed. The findings highlight the significance of thoughtful urban design and planning in fostering environments that encourage walking as a viable and preferred mode of mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 106171"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144502524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of Xiushan in less-developed rural West China, rural e-commerce practice is found as an entrepreneurial development mode practised by different actors. The formation of this novel regional development mode is driven by its entrepreneurial local state (county-level government), which mobilises and leverages private sector via different agents to empower grass-root rural entrepreneurs to get participated.
