Based on 31 journal articles published between 2003 and 2024, we identify twelve drivers categorized into four themes (technical, environmental, economic, and socio-cultural) and thirteen barriers classified into five themes (technical, environmental, policy, economic, and socio-cultural) to RETs development in Native American communities. We find that the socio-cultural theme is more prevalent than other themes across literature, showing that the socio-cultural dynamics are deeply rooted in the broader identity, history, and governance structures of Native American communities. Our study also finds that, among available RETs, wind energy is studied the most, followed by solar, biofuel, geothermal, and hydropower. Notably, topics on other renewables, such as hydrogen or ocean/tidal energy development in Native American communities, were the least studied. We highlight the need for additional research on all types of RETs based on energy needs, energy source preferences, and existing endowments of Native American communities. We argue that the additional research on these topics will also help foster resilient energy systems and energy sovereignty in Native American communities. Our findings further the scholarship regarding the drivers and barriers to RETs adoption, and develop strategies that Native Nations, RETs developers, and researchers can employ to ensure a just energy transition and sustainable development for Native American communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104092"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143858695","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}

Data from a representative survey was utilized to illustrate the social context. The typology was implemented for a big European city and its surrounding municipalities, i.e. Warsaw Urban Zone (Poland). 330 PUGSs were identified and grouped into five types. Variables describing connectivity, land cover diversity and popularity differentiated the types the best. Distance from the place of residence was not significantly important. The analysis revealed that most people prefer visiting large, diversified and well-connected PUGSs, and cover long distances to get there. Small and diversified areas are visited almost exclusively by those living nearby. Small, undiversified and unconnected green areas are poorly visited. The proposed typology helps to reduce the complexity of PUGSs and provides a comprehensive and concise approach based on numerical and measureable data, required to formulate effective land use policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 105999"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143858987","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}

This serves as a crucial foundation for enriching theories and practices in urban intelligent management. Taking Lanzhou City as a case study, this paper employed a relatively novel research idea to analyze the dynamics between urban space and ecological environment evolution. The results indicated a growing trend in the scale and intensity of urban expansion in Lanzhou City from 1995 to 2020, accompanied by a decrease in urban landscape fragmentation. The urban expansion is primarily concentrated in the western and northern regions, with its spatial pattern shifting from a cluster-based horizontal expansion to a leapfrog development model. Over the same period, the Urban Space Ecological Risk Index (ERI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Lanzhou City exhibited an upward trend, with a weakening trend observed in the peripheral urban areas. Overall, the distribution pattern is characterized by “higher in the north and lower in the south”. While there was a marginal increase in the Ecosystem Service Value (ESV) in localized urban areas, a more pronounced improvement was evident in the urban periphery. Urban spatial ecological pressures were on the rise, indicating a deteriorating ecological environment. Nevertheless, human responsiveness to these environmental challenges is progressively improving. Positive correlations were observed between Impervious Surfaces Percentage (ISP) and ERI and LST, while a negative correlation existed with ESV. Lanzhou City's urban space necessitates a shift towards smarter growth in the northern direction and the augmentation of green infrastructure. This study offers novel perspectives, ideas and methodologies, for scholars, while also providing scientific references for urban planning, management, renewal, and ecological restoration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 106006"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864904","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}

Facing uninsurable loan and deposit shocks, banks dynamically manage lending, wholesale funding, deposits, and equity. Deposits create value by lowering funding costs. However, when the bank is undercapitalized and at risk of breaching leverage requirements, the marginal value of deposits can turn negative as deposit inflows, by raising leverage, increase the likelihood of costly equity issuance. Banks' inability to fully control leverage distinguishes them from nondepository intermediaries.

Notably, Ecuador's residential sector plays a significant role in the overall energy system, accounting for 13.2 % of the total energy demand. This study delves into Quito and Guayaquil's urban residential energy demand, employing a Bottom-up approach and introducing eco-innovation as an innovative management strategy. It aims to examine disparities among household profiles regarding energy consumption and associated factors, identify relations that elucidate critical concepts such as energy expenditure and eco-innovation, and assess the extent to which eco-innovation facilitates responsible household energy consumption practices. Various factors driving energy consumption are identified, including socio-demographic features, housing arrangements, infrastructure, energy consumption patterns, and environmental awareness. Additionally, it explores cross-sectional factors such as energy costs, technological advances, cultural influences, and energy policies. Robust statistical analysis reveals significant differences between socioeconomic profiles, including ANOVA and the Tukey HSD posthoc test. Moreover, the Multiple Correspondence Analysis technique uncovers relationships between variables, shedding light on energy expenditure and eco-innovation related to household energy consumption. The findings underscore that high-income households predominantly benefit from energy subsidies, and the eco-innovation process varies based on socioeconomic profiles. This study fills a crucial gap in the literature on domestic energy consumption in urban settings like Ecuador, characterized by enduring energy subsidies. It offers a comprehensive model for understanding household behavior diversity and underscores the pivotal role of eco-innovation in fostering responsible energy consumption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 106008"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864903","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}

This study employs Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) modeling and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to analyze production and consumption-based embodied ERM emissions in China. Results reveal significant embodied ERM emission transfers from energy-rich to developed provinces due to regional energy production-consumption disparities. Driving factor analysis indicates that energy consumption intensity emerges as the primary reduction driver, while economic activity effect, emission structure intensity, and population scale contribute to increased emissions, with varying provincial impacts. In light of these findings, we recommend incorporating embodied ERM emissions into provincial reduction responsibilities and developing locally tailored strategies from both production and consumption perspectives that align with SDGs 7, 12, and 13.
