There is a lack of accessible, evidence-informed, and internationally validated LPUGS indicators to assist with benchmarking and monitoring progress toward healthy and sustainable cities globally. This study developed and validated internationally applicable spatial indicators of LPUGS availability and accessibility that are directly relevant to health and sustainability outcomes. For 13 cities across 10 middle- to high-income countries, we identified LPUGS ≥ 1 ha by fusing OpenStreetMap and satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index data, and estimated residents' access within 500 m pedestrian network distance. We conducted a two-step validation process with local collaborators in each city. Our indicator methods identified LPUGS with greater than 80% accuracy for 12 of the 13 cities, and comparisons against official local reference data for four cities further demonstrated validity. While some open data limitations were identified, the indicators address critical gaps in existing methods by enabling standardized and comparable measurement of LPUGS in diverse cities internationally. Our customizable open-source global indicator tools can inform evidence-based green space planning for urban health and sustainability.","PeriodicalId":12533,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Analysis","volume":"57 4","pages":"793-808"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gean.70023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, recurrent confusion lies in the equivocal association between the level of measurement of a continuous random variable and the erroneously assumed continuous nature of the phenomenon under study. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate how problematic using Kriging is in non-continuous phenomena, mainly in transportation studies, and to present the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) as a robust competitor to this task. The results of two case studies using the variables “Households Income” and “Car Trip Rate” in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, showed some problems with the Kriging technique when there are few sampled points and very similar results between Kriging and GWR when there are many sampled points, being the latter much simpler to do.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12533,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Analysis","volume":"57 4","pages":"773-792"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the relative contribution– sign, magnitude, and significance– of six neighborhood characteristics associated with children's mental health when accounting for unobserved heterogeneity, endogeneity, and self-selection in neighborhoods of different socio-economic status. Using a correlated random effects model in space and time and two waves of data extracted from the Lifelines Cohort Study of children between 7 and 15 years of age in northern Netherlands, we analyze both internalizing and externalizing behavior. Besides the importance of the environment for healthy child development, our empirical findings show that the magnitude and significance of neighborhood characteristics increase significantly, especially when we control for endogeneity of maternal family characteristics. Controlling for self-selection again reduces the magnitude slightly, but only for externalizing behavior. Controlling for unobserved child-invariant factors is also found to be significant, but not for unobserved heterogeneity.","PeriodicalId":12533,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Analysis","volume":"57 4","pages":"732-743"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gean.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach leverages integrated information and communications technology (ICT) to transform urban environments into more efficient and intelligent spaces. A smart pole combines varied services such as CCTV, environmental sensors, and public Wi-Fi into a single infrastructure, collecting data via the Internet of Things (IoT) and transmitting them to an integrated platform for urban management and public service delivery. Given network connectivity and budget constraints, such smart poles must be strategically deployed. However, the absence of specific criteria for establishment causes inefficient installations, contrary to their intended aims to optimize space and resources. This study integrates the optimal deployment of smart poles with an effective design for wireless mesh networking. Specifically, we propose a multiple coverage mesh network problem (MC-MNP) to enhance the placement of smart poles with multi-sensors by improving public service coverage and more efficiently using urban space. The findings of this study offer useful guidelines for optimizing the deployment of multifunctional smart poles and can ultimately deliver a viable implementation methodology for smart cities.","PeriodicalId":12533,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Analysis","volume":"57 4","pages":"686-699"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gean.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145272789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research suggests these attributes are important for understanding spatial variations in health and social outcomes. This exploratory study investigated whether recurring themes in local newspaper articles capture meaningful social characteristics that help explain neighborhood health resilience, defined as a dearth of illness after adjusting for deprivation. Topic modeling of geo-referenced texts identified and quantified 55 themes of commonly occurring words in Edinburgh, which capture salient neighborhood attributes. Correlations between the themes and domains of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) were weak, suggesting that newspaper themes captured characteristics beyond those in the SIMD. Reassuringly, expected correlations were observed between crime metrics from newspapers and the SIMD domains. Stepwise regression modeling revealed theoretically plausible themes associated with neighborhood health resilience/vulnerability. Themes on heritage and community sports identity were positively associated with health resilience, whereas low-level social disorder (e.g., littering, antisocial behavior) and “local politics” were negatively associated. This study underscores the potential of using area-based topic modeling of newspaper texts to capture neighborhood aspects neglected in official statistics but could further explain spatial variations in neighborhood health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":12533,"journal":{"name":"Geographical Analysis","volume":"57 4","pages":"662-675"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gean.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145273074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
