Thus, this study is based on the social and economic data of 31 provinces in China from 2009 to 2021; it evaluates the level of sustainable development of each province and combines green investment, financial efficiency, and sustainable development into the research framework from the dual perspectives of government and enterprises to explore the relationship among the three, which can result in efficient and balanced sustainable development. The results show the following: (1) government green investment has a “U-shaped” spillover effect on sustainable development; (2) corporate green investment has an inverted U-shaped nonlinear effect on sustainable development; and (3) under the adjustment of financial efficiency, government green investment has a “two-stage” promoting effect on sustainable development, and corporate green investment has an inverted U-shaped nonlinear effect on sustainable development. Based on these findings, an increase the amount of government green investment can ensure the sustainable amount of corporate green investment and promote coordinated financial and economic development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46392,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"799 - 821"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12061-024-09568-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139798840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) is one of the most widely applied techniques in land-use suitability analysis. It is pivotal that planners and analysts in the developing world have adequate support in conducting such analysis. To lower the financial and technological barriers, a new free and open-source software (FOSS) for GIS-MCDA is developed, called PyLUSATQ. It is designed as a QGIS plugin following a tight-coupling integration strategy, where analytic tools for GIS-based suitability analysis and MCDA are interconnected and seamlessly integrated into QGIS’s processing framework. With this implementation, users can create customized models with the PyLUSATQ tools using QGIS’s Graphical Modeler to automate the workflow for suitability analysis. PyLUSATQ is the first of its kind amongst all plugins published on the QGIS Python Plugin Repository, offering a range of tools for GIS-MCDA within the context of land use planning. To demonstrate its practical application, we created two 2050 future land-use scenarios in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The first scenario depicts a “business-as-usual” model, whereas the second shows an “alternative” scenario if a higher development density was adopted. Comparisons of such scenarios provide evidential support for making informed decisions on land-use policies. Additionally, the methodology introduced here is easily replicable for developing new QGIS plugins based on third-party Python libraries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46392,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"779 - 797"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139810333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyses utilize repeated cross-sectional data from the nationally representative Chinese General Social Survey, focusing on adults of childbearing age. A multilevel logistic regression approach is employed. The findings indicate that economic status, at both the individual and provincial levels, significantly shapes individuals’ intentions regarding having two or more children. Those with higher individual economic status are more inclined to have multiple children, while individuals residing in provinces with higher mean incomes are less likely to have two or more children compared to those in provinces with lower mean incomes. Notably, the long-term impact of the one-child policy on intentions to have two or more children is particularly pronounced for urban residents and individuals from provinces that rigorously implemented the one-child policy.

This paper aims to assess the efficiency of healthcare facility locations in Istanbul from two perspectives: accessibility of healthcare facilities and sufficiency of healthcare capacity. The analysis of accessibility considers the geographic locations of health services, the road network, and traffic conditions, particularly during two peak travel times in Istanbul. The evaluation of healthcare capacity utilizes the ratio of the number of beds to the population in each district. According to the findings, while the majority of the population has reasonable access to the nearest hospital, there exists a significant disparity in hospital location and bed availability in Istanbul. This indicates notable challenges in achieving a balanced distribution of hospitals based on their bed capacity. Addressing this imbalance is crucial in selecting suitable locations for new health facilities. To enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of public and private hospitals, decisions regarding site selection should aim to mutually support one another. Additionally, it is recommended to plan new healthcare facilities based on the population and density distribution of the city to increase public interest and optimize the efficiency of health services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46392,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"729 - 752"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139461626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the deaths from NCDs, the leading causes is cardiovascular disease (CVD), which represents approximately 32% of all global deaths. Furthermore, estimates indicate that over three-quarters of CVD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries such as Mexico. Therefore, the goal of this study is to analyze the spatio-temporal patterns of mortality from cardiovascular diseases across Mexican municipalities from 2010 to 2019. We used a spatial Bayesian hierarchical regression model based on the Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) and implemented in the R-INLA package to study the spatial pattern of mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Mexican municipalities. The modeling process revealed that the best model for both populations under and over 60 years old was the spatio-temporal model with space-time interaction. Overall, the purely spatial results suggest that the relative risks for both age groups (under and over 60 years old) do not have a consistent spatial pattern in 2019. On the other hand, the spatio-temporal results show that the interactions are stronger for the population over 60 years of age. This paper demonstrates the importance of assessing not only the spatial pattern of deaths, but also simultaneously incorporating temporal trends. With the understanding that this relationship (space-time) cannot be neglected, first the results of a purely spatial model are presented and, soon after, this model is expanded and the spatio-temporal results of mortality from cardiovascular diseases across Mexican municipalities from 2010 to 2019 are shown.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46392,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy","volume":"17 2","pages":"637 - 650"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12061-023-09562-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139373756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
