However, understanding the dynamics of LULC in these areas and its interaction with land surface temperature (LST) remains a challenge. This study addresses this gap by investigating LULC mapping in urban tourist destinations and its influence on LST variations. The research problem focuses on exploring the relationship between various land cover types and LST variations. The main objective is to assess the interaction of LULC variations with LST in urban tourist environments. To achieve this goal, an integrated approach combining remote sensing techniques and machine learning will be employed. LULC mapping will utilize support vector machine (SVM) techniques with datasets sourced from multi-channel data, and spectral indices such as enhanced built-up and bareness index (EBBI) and normalized differences vegetation index (NDVI) derived from Landsat 9. The findings present a vivid overview of the research area, where built-up areas dominate, and spanning 108.61 km². Other land cover classifications include rice fields/grasslands, plantation/perennial plants, barren land, mangrove forests, shrublands, and water bodies, accurately mapped with high precision (overall accuracy = 88.52% and Kappa = 81%). Maximum LST values peak in built-up and barren areas, reaching 29.89°C and 29.28°C, respectively, while other land cover types exhibit comparatively lower values. Our analysis of the spectral index used in LULC classification uncovers a positive correlation with EBBI (R2 = 37.78%) and a negative correlation with NDVI (R2 = 10.69%, based on a substantial sample size of 67 869 pixels. We strongly urge future researchers to leverage high-resolution data for localized urban studies and stress the critical importance of enforcing stringent spatial planning regulations to safeguard green spaces, thus ensuring ecological equilibrium for future generations.","PeriodicalId":11703,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research, Engineering and Management","volume":" 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A better understanding of factors that influence consumer behavior regarding the consumption of organic food in a developing nation such as Pakistan, particularly Generation Z. In this regard, this research explores the role of environmental values, environmental self-identity, and attitude towards organic food over Generation Z’s purchase intentions towards organic food. The statistical analysis of the conducted survey reveals distinctive results that provide a new direction in line with existing research. The study found that environmental values are not direct drivers of Generation Z’s attitude towards organic food. Rather, altruistic values like the wellbeing of others and society are important motivators. There are potential barriers such as affordability and availability of organic food that influence the purchase intentions of organic food. Interestingly, hedonic values, which drive joyful experiences, showed a positive impact over environmental self-identity, suggesting implications for marketers and practitioners to make Generation Z connect with nature through pleasurable activities, which eventually strengthen environmental consciousness. Finally, this research validates a positive influence of attitude towards organic food over purchase intentions, while challenges such as affordability and availability can weaken the purchase intentions among Generation Z consumers.","PeriodicalId":11703,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research, Engineering and Management","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antecedents of green and materialistic value conflict remain unclear. This research aims to determine the antecedents of consumers’ green and materialistic value conflict. Using a quantitative research strategy, data were collected following the survey method. The results of this research reveal that the effect of impulsive buying on the conflict between green and materialistic values is significant and positive, which means that impulsive buying reinforces the value conflict. Furthermore, the results show that the effect of mindfulness on the conflict between green and materialistic values is significant and negative, which means that mindfulness reduces the value conflict. These findings add substantially to our understanding of antecedents by adding new knowledge on the relatively under-researched antecedents of the conflict between green and materialistic values.","PeriodicalId":11703,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research, Engineering and Management","volume":"71 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140736455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Highly urbanized UC areas, particularly with nearby roads, encounter increased technogenic load and pose additional health hazards. The purpose of the paper is the evaluation of the environmental safety level of the UC recreational territories on the example of campuses of Kyiv universities, located nearby highly loaded roads, using a complex of express methods of analysis, mathematical modeling and criterion-based approach, considering the main green economy principles. The scientific novelty of the paper and the authors’ contribution is in the assessment of the environmental safety level of city-type UC recreational territories being under the significant technogenic load from vehicle emissions. Such express analysis methods as densimetry, viscometry, stalagmometry, conductometry, potentiometry and optical methods, and in particular, refractometric studies have been used to assess the impact of vehicle emissions. The mathematical modeling and computational experiment have been carried out for dispersion fields of the main vehicle emissions pollutants. Ecologically acceptable distances from the road considering the specifics of recreational territory have been determined using the integral index of technogenic load. Propositions for minimizing human health hazards and improving the system of environmental monitoring of such territories have been provided and substantiated. The study also confirms the positive effects of environmental management and green marketing principles synergy, benefiting both nature and humans as well as the university image. Obtained results can be used for the design and reconstruction of UC and their recreational areas, as well as for planning roads located nearby the campuses, improving traffic on them.

In this study, the phenol removal efficiency of Yarrowia lipolytica YQ22 under laboratory conditions was determined. The YQ22 strain was obtained from diesel samples from a fuel station in Trujillo, Peru, isolated through serial dilutions on Sabouraud agar, and identified through its morphological characteristics using microscopy and molecular analysis by polymerase chain reaction of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S regions. In the treatment, the effect of pH (5, 6 and 7) and temperature (25°C, 30°C and 35°C) on phenol removal with 2% (v/v) inoculum of Yarrowia lipolytica from 48-hour growth was evaluated. Phenol concentration was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A maximum phenol removal percentage of 61.18 was obtained for YQ22 at 30°C, pH 5 and 120 rpm during 48 hours.

This present research was conducted in Samboja and Sebulu sub-districts, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data collection concerning the geological structure, lithology, and sustainability of coal mine landslides was carried out. Rock data, such as its physical and mechanical properties, were taken from complete coring drilled and then analyzed in a geomechanics laboratory. This procedure was carried out in three locations, with the first and second samples collected in the Kampungbaru Formation representing the youngest formation. In addition, the third taken in the Pulubalang Formation represents the oldest coal-bearing formation. The data relating to the avalanche condition were collected through surveys, interviews, and filling out questionnaires using a purposive sampling method. The respondents were 13 mining engineering heads from various mine sites in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, three mining environmental experts, and four academics. The results showed that of the 50-joint data, those with potential positions for landslides were located at N333°E/61° and N110°E/74°. The most dominant lithology in the study area was claystone, followed successively by sandstone, siltstone, and shale, with a specific gravity between 2.55 and 2.66. The dominant claystone indicated a relatively prone area. Meanwhile, the strength of the mechanical properties of the rock (direct shear) cohesion ranged from 17.80 and 174.53 kPa, with shear angles ranging from 10.88° to 42.01°. Based on the design of the slope stability in the three locations, this study demonstrated the maximum slope angle ranging from 29° to 37°, a height of 50.17 to 70.16 meters, a single slope height of 10 meters with an angle ranged from 32° to 44°, and a factor of safety (FOS) ranging from 1.326 to 1.452 with stable conditions. Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) simulation results of the sustainability status comprised of a total of 49 attributes derived from five dimensions, namely ecological, economic, social, law, institutional and technological, demonstrated a score fell of 50.01. Furthermore, to increase the sustainability score, this study identified some sensitive factors as follows: condition of the slope of the mine slope, MSME business of residents, role of NGOs in mine landslides, concern of pit supervisory personnel for mine landslides, and mastery of mine landslide technology. Hence, the projection sustainability score increased to 82.00, which was achieved in the good category.","PeriodicalId":11703,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research, Engineering and Management","volume":"13 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140737005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
