Its environmental communication dimensions of Access, Civic Standing, and Influence optimize the potential for trust-rich relationships that are key for effective collaborative processes but are difficult to build and sustain, especially in situations that are complex and/or pulsing with contentiousness. At the 20-year mark, this article revisits the TOV against the contemporary literature on trust; reviews critiques and diverse applications of it; and assesses whether it still offers practical value for designing, diagnosing, and improving collaborative processes to address environmental planning and management situations.Keywords: Environmental communicationcollaborationtrustprocess AcknowledgementsTo the anonymous reviewers of the draft manuscript who provided insightful and helpful suggestions for improvement.Disclosure statementThe author declares no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.","PeriodicalId":48149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Planning and Management","volume":"55 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136376228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many studies focus on the ecological benefits of the removal of a particular dam, research on economic changes at the county level are limited. Most studies concerned with this topic examine a single location and fail to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the overall impact of dam removal on the broader economy. We address this gap in the literature using a difference-in-differences approach to estimate the effect of dam removal on earnings in the Leisure and Hospitality Supersector (NAICS 71 and NAICS 72). Results show little effect on earnings at the county level. This means that policymakers, when evaluating dam removal, should focus on other economic, environmental, and aesthetic factors that are specific to a particular dam site.Keywords: dam removalhospitalityleisuretourismexternalitieseconomic impact AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers who provided valuable suggestions and comments that were helpful in improving an earlier version of this manuscript.

However, their environmental consequences have raised concerns. Despite many studies addressing the issue, there is still a lack of strong causal inference. This study investigates the impact of firework displays during the Spring Festival holiday on air pollution levels, using data from 335 Chinese cities from 2015 to 2017. A regression discontinuity design is employed to isolate this causal effect. Results indicate that fireworks substantially deteriorate air quality. Specifically, fireworks increase the Air Quality Index by 57%, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 89%, inhalable particulate matter (PM10) by 44%, and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by 69%. These impacts remain robust across varying model specifications. Policy interventions such as firework bans have been demonstrated to successfully reduce pollution from this source. However, when formulating environmental policies, policymakers ought to consider cultural factors and strive for balance between environmental protection and preserving cultural traditions.Keywords: air pollutionfireworksSpring Festivalregression discontinuityfireworks bans Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The Spring Festival is the beginning of a new year according to the Chinese lunar calendar, and its exact date on the western calendar actually varies from year to year.2 http://www.xinhuanet.com/politics/2018-02/13/c_1122415525.htmAdditional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Education Department of Liaoning Province [grant number LJKR0047].","PeriodicalId":48149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Planning and Management","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135273076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have focused on whether measures influence perceived adaptation efficacy or even provided comprehensive conceptualizations of the links among cognition, behaviors, and efficacy. This study developed an integrated conceptual framework and employed econometric models to determine their influencing relationships using household survey data from the Yangtze River Basin of China. Our findings reveal that farmers perceive that they maintain negative risk and adaptation cognition, although they have high perceived adaptation efficacy. Most importantly, climate change cognition has significant impacts on six kinds of adaptation practices. Perceived adaptation efficacies are only positively influenced by agro-technical management, agro-environmental improvement, financial support, and external help. Crop adjustment lowers land adaptation efficacy, and livelihood transformation reduces the efficacy of family, crop, and land. Corresponding policy recommendations are made to help improve targeted and dynamic adaptation capacity. Our ideas and findings may be complementary to existing research and easily repeatable for future investigations about climate change adaptation worldwide.Keywords: Climate change cognitionadaptation practicesperceived adaptation efficacyadaptation capacityYangtze River Basin AcknowledgementsWe appreciate all the participants for their cooperation.

However, numerous farmers quit and leave the contract because the schemes offered are less likely to consider the farmers’ preferences. The formulation of a contract scheme based on farmers’ preferences could provide the potential for better sustainability of cooperation, yet the information regarding food commodities in Indonesia is limited. This study aimed to analyze farmers’ preferences for organic rice CFS. In this study, while the findings of the analysis of CFS-adopters are expected to provide management implications for keeping them in the contract, the preferences of non-adopters are anticipated to provide information regarding the key characteristics of contracts for enticing new farmers. This study included 277 farmers and used the discrete choice experiment (DCE) with the following attributes: payment schedule, input loan, technical assistance, and expected price. The results of the study revealed that CFS-adopters attach great importance to the price attribute, while non-adopters were more concerned with the input loan attribute from the company. Estimation of random parameter logit (RPL) main effect with interaction indicated that there were various relationships between farmer characteristics and the level of attributes. This research is expected to provide managerial implications for companies in preparing organic rice CFS offered to farmers in Indonesia and to provide policy recommendations related to sustainable agriculture.Keywords: contract farming schemeorganic ricepaddy farmer preferencediscrete choice experiment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from Hery Toiba upon request.Notes1 The slash-selling system refers to a buying and selling transaction between farmers and collectors or intermediaries when the rice enters the age of 1–2 weeks before harvest, in which the quantity and price are determined through simple estimations (generally dominated by collectors), while farmers receive payment directly (before harvest).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Universitas Brawijaya.","PeriodicalId":48149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Planning and Management","volume":"30 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135273545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this growing popularity, there has also been a rapid increase in those identifying as storytellers. Perhaps because storytelling for sustainability has an innocent ring to it, it has not yet been studied from a power perspective. However, as it is fast-spreading and has explicit change purposes, it is important to clarify assumptions about knowledge, power and change. This article offers a first step towards understanding and evaluating the wide variety of applications behind the label of storytelling for sustainability. We perform a frame analysis of how storytellers describe their storytelling for sustainability. Our findings demonstrate that the label of storytelling for sustainability encompasses fundamentally different ideas about whose knowledge counts.

While their interactive influences on agricultural green development are rarely focused, as well as the mediation mechanism. This paper provides an interactive perspective by exploring the direct and indirect mechanisms affecting the relationship between environmental regulations, financial support for agriculture, and agricultural green development, among which the mediating effects of agricultural infrastructure, are further discussed. Based on the provincial panel data for China from the year 2000 to 2021, this paper constructs a fixed effect model, mediating effects model, and threshold panel model to empirically test the direct and indirect effects of environmental regulations and financial support for agriculture on agricultural green development. The results show that: (1) The full sample of agricultural green development in China shows an M-shaped trend, environmental regulations and financial support for agriculture show spatial and temporal heterogeneity among regions. (2) Environmental regulations, financial support for agriculture, and their interaction all have positive effects on agricultural green development, while their interactive effect is greater. (3) Agricultural power facilities not only significantly mediate the relationship between financial support for agriculture and agricultural green development, but also play a mediating role in the positive effect of the interaction between environmental regulations and financial support on agricultural green development. While rural transportation facilities only significantly mediate the positive effect of the interaction between environmental regulations and financial support for agriculture on agricultural green development. (4) Heterogeneity analysis results show that the effect of the interaction between environmental regulations and financial support for agriculture on agricultural green development is greatest in agricultural optimized developing areas; however moderate developing areas are insignificant.

An empirical analysis is conducted to explore the determinants of MDBs’ participation in energy infrastructure projects developed in 64 countries using data from 2011 to 2018 obtained from the World Bank’s Private Participation in Infrastructure Database.

MDBs operate as cooperative entities owned and funded by member countries. Their development finance activities include concessional and non-concessional loans, leveraging capital, risk mitigation, co-financing, technical assistance and policy advise.2 The MDBs included in this analysis are the World Bank Group, the European Investment Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Islamic Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the African Development Bank and the new MDBs established in 2015: the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (initiated by China) and the New Development Bank (BRICS bank).3 We follow the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and classify hydropower as a renewable source. The largest sources of GHG emissions for hydropower are the construction of the facilities, and biomass decomposition from reservoir flooding (Steinhurst, Knight, and Schultz Citation2012) but large hydropower plants produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions when compared with fossil fuel-based plants.4 In the PPI database, government support may be Direct support - capital subsidy, revenue subsidy or in-kind (lands, for instance); Or Indirect support, in the form of guarantees (e.g., payment guarantee, debt guarantee, revenue guarantee, exchange-rate guarantee).5 Because only the percentage of private participation in each project is available on the database, it is not possible to use the financial amounts provided by the private sector.6 Variables such as “control of corruption” and “government effective","PeriodicalId":48149,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Planning and Management","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136099278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
