This imperative has never been more critical, especially in the context of Europe and Italy, where the integration of environmental, economic, and social goals is essential to address the multifaceted challenges of the 21st century. This research introduces the Sustainable Economic, Environmental, and Social Investment Model (SEESIM), a novel multi-criteria decision-making framework designed to ensure the sustainability of projects as their validity over time, especially from a National Recovery and Resilience Plan perspective. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), SEESIM integrates environmental, economic, and social criteria as useful tool to evaluate a project in the post-funding phase, ensuring a balanced approach to efficiency and sustainability. The model is adaptable to various regional contexts, providing a transparent and replicable methodology for assessing the impacts and costs of public investments. An experimental scenario demonstrates SEESIM’s utility in guiding investment decisions, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of public resources in achieving long-term sustainability goals. SEESIM represents a pivotal advancement in sustainable development strategies, offering a comprehensive tool for integrating multi-dimensional sustainability criteria into public investment decisions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142359327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal strong spatial dependence for both obesity prevalence in women and chronic malnutrition prevalence in children in Bolivia. Specifically, high rates of obesity in women are observed in eastern municipalities and their neighboring areas, while a concentrated cluster of chronic malnutrition in children is identified in the western regions. Considering these differences, this investigation argues that, using cluster analysis, Bolivia can be regionalized into eighteen geographical zones based on the distribution of these two nutritional variables.

To estimate and map Biomass (B<sub>tree−Total</sub>) and Carbon stock (C<sub>st−total</sub>), we explored an improved approach using extracted metrics collected by Lidar-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles Lidar), combined with forest inventory data. We approach three types of models for data analysis: Simple linear regression, multiple linear regressions, and stepwise multiple linear regression. The best Biomass and Carbon stock model fit is the Stepwise multiple linear regressions, involving the following metrics: maximum elevation, canopy cover and point cloud density and intensity.

This paper seeks to provide a retrospective and prospective look into its achievements and current challenges. Clearly, regions are not oases of tranquility. Uncertainty and shocks in regional and urban development are omnipresent and call for adaptive and resilient strategies on spatial dynamics. The spatial arena is governed by many factors; this is mapped out in the present paper by means of a ‘<em>Pentagon</em>’ model of critical territorial capital inputs which form interdependent anchor points for policy and action based on the principle of <em>confluence</em>. The space-economy is multi-faceted and three prominent challenges in particular, are highlighted in this study: (i) the influence of digital technology on the standard NEG framework; (ii) the livability and proximity conditions in urban agglomerations, critically assessed through the lenses of the currently popular 15-minute city framework; (iii) the implications of social wellbeing and happiness motives for regional and urban planning in an NEG context. The conclusion of the study is that the NEG legacy and principles continue to be prominent signposts for regional and urban analysis and policy, conditional upon a flexible adaptivity of this legacy to new framework conditions in the ever-changing space-economy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224003354/pdfft?md5=506ee2739636055aecfa5417fee755b5&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224003354-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142088852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As these practices are becoming increasingly important, it is crucial to understand what factors can increase managers' acceptance of them for both theory and practice. Our analysis was conducted on a sample of 306 managers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Anchored in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), we tested three models to identify predictors of intention to adopt ESG practices and to explore the moderating role of facilitating conditions (FC) on the relationship between performance expectancy and intention to adopt ESG practices. Our findings indicate that there are consistent factors that predict the managers’ intention of adopt ESG practices, including Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), and Habitual Tendency (HT). We found that the FC negatively moderate the link between PE and intention to adopt social and governance practices within ESG framework. We argue that the nature of each domain within ESG, ceiling effect, and resource constraints and trade-offs might be possible explanations for these results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224003378/pdfft?md5=2ba04c17f23ca8bac20b1defbe984a9e&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224003378-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141985779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
