We discover that there is a super-linear scaling relationship for the total counties for each of the four diseases categories, indicating urban health penalty. However, the results from our analysis by the subgroups of counties with different population sizes yield a U-shaped scaling curve where the most pronounced sub-linear relationship occurs at the subgroup of top 40 most populous counties. In short, both super-linear and sub-linear scaling relationships are observed depending on the subgroups with varying population sizes. Incorporating additional control variables do not materially alter our findings.","PeriodicalId":89681,"journal":{"name":"International journal of society systems science","volume":"10 1","pages":"35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41410978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implication is that we might want to seek better interactive strategies, or policies, that contribute most not only to the personal well-being, but also to the social welfare as well. Explanations can be drawn from this analysis on why zoning of a land control measure gives rise to mixed use in urban development.","PeriodicalId":89681,"journal":{"name":"International journal of society systems science","volume":"10 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47991035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper demonstrates the use of freelisting technique to systematically identify the felt needs in terms of general problems and health problems of an urban community from India. Community members generated lists of items in response to two questions on general problems and health problems of their locality during short and 'swift' semi-structured interviews. This free-listing information is computerised and analysed through Anthropac software. Salience was derived using Smith's salience index. The analysis indicated that unemployment is the main problem in this urban community with the highest salience index. Among health problems, common cold is the most common health problem with the Smith's salient index of 0.343. The study thus concluded that freelisting is a simple technique eliciting emic views of cultural domains and can be used rapidly in needs assessment activities.","PeriodicalId":89681,"journal":{"name":"International journal of society systems science","volume":"9 1","pages":"292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43806842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of this initiative, grant recipients provided high levels of public outreach and established new stakeholder partnerships to create long-term sustainability strategies during a three-year planning process. However, a strong opposition emerged in response to this effort, arguing that it threatens individual rights and liberties. To better understand this resistance to planning for sustainable development, the researcher conducted 17 in-depth qualitative interviews with a purposeful sample of key individuals involved in facilitating all phases of the citizen engagement process. While the findings show widespread opposition at the outset of the program, strategies to increase civic education, emphasise local control, change divisive terminology and build a sound business case seemed to have the most influence on garnering public support.","PeriodicalId":89681,"journal":{"name":"International journal of society systems science","volume":"9 1","pages":"277"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46841910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors have described the conceptualisation and operational functions used in constructing and refining the multiple-item scale to measure the construct 'green consumer behaviour'. The scale is validated through assessment of content validity, predictive validity, and construct validity. Factor analysis is used to further refine the scale. The research highlights various factors that may affect the consumers' purchase behaviour towards green products and can be used to measure the purchase intention (behaviour) of the consumers towards green products. Marketers can use the scale to evaluate the purchase behaviour of the consumers prior to the launch of green products and devise their strategy for marketing of green products. This paper fulfils an identified need to develop a multi-item instrument to assess the green behaviour of the consumers.","PeriodicalId":89681,"journal":{"name":"International journal of society systems science","volume":"9 1","pages":"199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49492551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining leadership styles and their relationship with employees' response behaviours in a cross-cultural context is important to researchers and academics alike. Through a quantitative analysis and cross-sectional research design, we found that leadership styles-transformational and transactional-indeed, predicted employees' innovative behaviour (IB) and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) at the firm level. This paper has three significant findings: 1) transformational style is positively and significantly related to employee IB and EO; 2) transactional style is positively and significantly related to EO; 3) laissez-faire style is shown to be negatively and not significantly related to IB and EO. These findings have theoretical and practical implications to better understand the nature of Indian immigrant leaders' behaviours and the inter-film cultural factors that could either facilitate or impede employees' IB and EO.","PeriodicalId":89681,"journal":{"name":"International journal of society systems science","volume":"9 1","pages":"222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41874778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
