In order to fill the knowledge gap in livability studies, especially housing livability, the present study has looked at the link between livability and housing indicators and has evaluated this link among the residents of urban neighborhoods with different socio-economic contexts. This study has been evaluated the indicators of livable housing in an empirical analysis among the neighborhoods of Karaj metropolitan area (as a leading city) with the cluster sampling method and choosing 8 neighborhoods (as the scope of the research) as well as 402 cases (as a sample statistics derived from Cochran's formula).In this evaluation, the questionnaire with (72 sub-indicators in 15 groups) is the main criterion for data collection, and the analyzes are using statistical and spatial combined methods. The statistical analysis of the questionnaire includes preparing the data for weighting and determining the important and influential factors with the exploratory factor analysis method in the SPSS environment. The stratification of neighborhoods is done with the multi-criteria decision-making model (TODIM) by combining the raw data and the weight of indicators extracted from the EFA method. Also, the accuracy of the results has been measured with the RMS method and the use of spatial methods in (GIS).The results showed environmental, social, economic and physical macro-factors respectively have the greatest effects on the livability of housing. The indicators of facilities and infrastructures, open and public space, cleanliness and pollution were the indicators of increasing livability and satisfaction, and the indicators of place connection and belonging, access and transportation, personal and social security were the indicators of decreasing livability. In general, the neighborhoods are in different conditions of housing livability and without continuity and principles of regularity. This difference in the different effects of indicators in neighborhoods is due to the inherent differences of neighborhoods and people's mental filters. The (89%) overlap obtained from the validation of the results indicates the existence of a very insignificant difference and acceptable agreement of the results of the two methods of spatial-spatial analysis. Considering the importance of the relationship between man and the urban environment and the quality of human life, it is recommended to pay special attention to community-orientedness and local assets and a bottom-up approach in livability surveys at any scale. Also, this study suggests important policy implications for achieving urban sustainability by improving housing livability.</div></d","PeriodicalId":54269,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Development","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101067"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142357781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2014 and 2017, we sampled vegetation plots across 31 sites distributed along 119 km of the Kashmir railway to test the effect of railway tracks on edaphic and vegetative parameters in short-term periods.

An increase in the area of inland mangroves offers various ecosystem services to the regional community, improvement in livelihood, and quality of environment. Our results indicated that the erosion-accretion changes along the coast of Quang Ngai were not unique and that some areas, such as the urbanized northern part, have eroded higher than southern areas except where sediment supply from larger rivers in the province is high.

The mechanism of Flfpr on biodiversity loss varies by economic level and geographic location and Flfpr is underutilized as an important tool to address biodiversity loss in developing countries. The transmission channels through which Flfpr reduces biodiversity loss are not the same, and the high-tech industry sector exhibits significant heterogeneity. The effect of reducing biodiversity loss is more pronounced in regions with high levels of female political participation. This paper shows that improving gender inequality and increasing Flfpr around the world may have synergistic effects on curbing biodiversity loss.

This hybrid approach was employed to predict flood scenarios for the Metropolis in 2032 and 2042. The framework incorporated six hydro-geomorphological indicators influencing extreme events: LULC, slope, elevation, drainage density, soil type, and proximity to rivers. The study analysed LULC projections, revealing a trend of substantial urban expansion with an estimated 10.9% increase in built-up areas within the next 20 years. This growth is expected to significantly heighten future flood risk in both the central upstream and downstream portions of the Metropolis, particularly in low-lying informal settlements close to the Odaw River and Korle Lagoon. Model performance was validated by ROC curve analysis, with AUC values of 0.927 and 0.922 for 2032 and 2042, respectively, which resonates with the records of previous flood distribution studies of the area.
