Chi Keung Woo in OpenAIREWere the large investments in energy and transportation infrastructure effective in fostering economic growth? Or did economic growth trigger these infrastructure developments? To answer these questions, we develop a simple model of production capacity constraints and use China’s Western Development Strategy (WDS) as an example to investigate how the relationships among energy investment, transportation infrastructure expansion and economic growth differ in the pre- and post-WDS periods. Our Granger causality analysis uses a panel data sample for China’s 30 provinces in the Western and non-Western regions for the period of 1991-2012. We find Granger causality only in the post-WDS period from transportation infrastructure expansion to economic growth and from economic growth to energy investment. These results suggest energy and transportation capacity constraints in the post-WDS period but not the pre-WDS period. Their policy implication is that China should continue its energy and transportation infrastructure investments with improved coordination.

The construction sector continues to experience significant challenges brought by new techniques and technologies. Hence, there is a dire need for construction companies to address critical issues concerning changing environmental conditions, construction innovations, market globalization and many other aspects, thereby enhancing their competitive edge. Thus, the primary goal for this research is to develop a multi-criteria decision making model that would consider and evaluate all essential factors in determining the competitiveness index of construction companies. In the developed model, three new pillars (3P) for competitiveness are introduced: (1) non-financial internal pillar; (2) non-financial external pillar; and (3) financial pillar. The 3P includes 6 categories and 26 factors that are defined and incorporated in the developed assessment model for the purpose of measuring the companies’ competitiveness. The weights for the identified factors are computed using fuzzy analytical network process (FANP) to diminish the uncertainty inherited within the judgment of the respondents. The weight of factors and their affiliated performance scores are used as an input for the preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE II) technique. In this regard, PROMETHEE II is undertaken as a ranking technique to prioritize any given construction company by determining its respective competitiveness index. The developed model is validated through five cases studies that reveal its potential of illustrating detailed analysis with respect to the competitive ability of construction companies. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the most influential factors that affect the competitiveness of construction companies. It is anticipated that the developed evaluation model can be used in the decision-making process by all parties involved in construction projects. For instance, contractors can leverage the evaluation model in taking better decisions pertinent to the markup values. In addition, it can benefit employers in the evaluation process of contractors.

The ageing population tends to be seen as a burden of cities’ future development. Thus, the public funds for older residents’ wellbeing are at risk of being cut back under the economic austerity due to the prevalent neoliberalism policy atmosphere. However, some cities set good examples to turn their older citizens into active contributors to sustainable urban development (SUD) by developing age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC). Taking Hong Kong as an example, this study aims to raise a strategy for policymakers, especially at the municipal level, to incorporate the concept of AFCC in SUD. Data were retrieved for our analysis from a published report of the Hong Kong Public Policy Research Fund project. A total of 15 AFCC and SUD policy factors were identified by using factor analysis. The correlations between these policy factors were evaluated and visualised in a synergetic effect network. According to the network, this study indicates that developing the silver hair market can be a suitable entry point to realise SUD by adopting an AFCC development. Isolation prevention, social sustainability and low-energy-consumption development are the supportive policy factors for the silver hair market. Specifically, respect, discrimination prevention, communication and information, age-friendly facilities, environmental safety and public transportation accessibility are five AFCC policy factors incorporated in the policy integration to enhance older residents’ wellbeing further. This study is an innovative attempt to develop a comprehensive model for the synergy between sustainable urban development and an age-friendly city and community using a correlation network. This study also provides a reference for other city governments to respond to population ageing positively.

Urbanization is commonly described as the process of population flow from rural to urban areas. As the largest developing country, China has experienced an unprecedentedly fast and large urbanization process since 1980s, which will continue for the coming future. The immense scale of the process has brought multidimensional benefits across all sectors in the country, yet also consumed a vast amount of resources and caused various types of environmental problems. The conflict between limited resources and an unstoppable urbanization process has become a pressing issue, which presents the urgent need for efficiency pursuance in the process of urbanization in order to ensure sustainable urban development. It is considered that the improvement of urbanization efficiency in large developing countries such as China has great implications for global sustainability. There is little existing study conducted to understand what efficiency achieved in the current fast urban development era in China. This study investigates the urbanization efficiency and its changes in the contemporary China. A set of input-output indicators are employed for analyzing the efficiency, in which both desirable and undesirable outputs are considered. The Super-efficiency Slack-based Measure (SBM) model and DEA-based Malmquist Production Index (MPI) are adopted collectively for conducting data analysis. The research is conducted at provincial level in China and the data collected for analysis are from 30 provinces for the period of 2006–2015. The results from this study show that the overall urbanization efficiency in China during the surveyed period is low, although certain improvement has been achieved. The difference between good and poor performers is considerable. In general, those provinces with better social and economic background have better urbanization efficiency performance. East China is much better than the rest of China, whilst Southwest region has the poorest performance.

The research is conducted at provincial level in China and the data collected for analysis are from 30 provinces for the period of 2006–2015. The results from this study show that the overall urbanization efficiency in China during the surveyed period is low, although certain improvement has been achieved. The difference between good and poor performers is considerable. In general, those provinces with better social and economic background have better urbanization efficiency performance. East China is much better than the rest of China, whilst Southwest region has the poorest performance.

Durante la última década, los principales países del sur de Asia (Pakistán, India y Bangladesh) han utilizado efectivamente la electricidad eólica para evitar futuras dificultades energéticas. Sin embargo, la industria eólica está siendo influenciada por una amplia gama de factores. El objetivo de este estudio es desarrollar un modelo de cadena de valor para la industria de la energía eólica del sur de Asia, analizar los factores internos y externos para analizar la viabilidad de la condición actual y la hoja de ruta futura para fomentar el sector de la energía eólica mediante la adopción del modelo de Fortalezas, Debilidades, Oportunidades y Amenazas (FODA). En primer lugar, se desarrolló un nuevo modelo de cadena de valor para la industria eólica. En segundo lugar, identificamos los factores sociales, económicos y ambientales, que influyen significativamente en la competitividad y el desarrollo de la industria eólica a través de un examen claro y preciso de las fortalezas, debilidades, oportunidades y amenazas en la perspectiva del sur de Asia. Se identificaron y analizaron un total de 19 factores. Los resultados de la investigación indican la situación actual y las proyecciones futuras de la industria eólica en un entorno competitivo. Finalmente, sugerimos medidas políticas esenciales para estabilizar el crecimiento de la industria eólica. Este estudio servirá como punto de referencia para el desarrollo constante de la industria de la energía eólica y hacia un sur de Asia seguro y sostenible. Au cours de la dernière décennie, les principaux pays d'Asie du Sud (Pakistan, Inde et Bangladesh) ont efficacement utilisé l'électricité éolienne pour éviter de futures difficultés énergétiques. Cependant, l'industrie éolienne est influencée par un large éventail de facteurs. L'objectif de cette étude est de développer un modèle de chaîne de valeur pour l'industrie éolienne sud-asiatique, d'examiner les facteurs internes et externes pour analyser la viabilité de l'état actuel et de la feuille de route future pour favoriser le secteur de l'énergie éolienne en adoptant le modèle SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats). Tout d'abord, un nouveau modèle de chaîne de valeur a été développé pour l'industrie éolienne. Deuxièmement, nous avons identifié les facteurs sociaux, économiques et environnementaux, influençant de manière significative la compétitivité et le développement de l'industrie éolienne grâce à un examen clair et précis des forces, des faiblesses, des opportunités et des menaces dans la perspective sud-asiatique. Un total de 19 facteurs ont été identifiés et analysés. Les résultats de la recherche indiquent la situation actuelle et les projections futures de l'industrie éolienne dans un environnement concurrentiel. Enfin, nous avons suggéré des mesures politiques essentielles pour stabiliser la croissance de l'industrie éolienne. Cette étude servira de référence pour le développement constant de l'industrie éolienne et vers une Asie du Sud sûre et durable. During the last decade, the major South Asian countries (Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh) have effectively utilized wind electricity to avoid future energy predicament. However, the wind industry is being influenced by a diverse range of factors. The aim of this study is to develop a value chain model for the South Asian wind power industry, scrutinize both internal and external factors to analyze the viability of present condition and future roadmap to foster the wind energy sector by adopting Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) model. Firstly, a novel value chain model was developed for the wind industry. Secondly, we identified the social, economic, and environmental factors, significantly influencing the competitiveness and development of the wind industry through clear and precise examination of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the South Asian perspective. A total of 19 factors were identified and analyzed. Research findings indicate the current situation and future projections of the wind industry in a competitive environment. Finally, we suggested essential policy measures to stabilize the wind industry's growth. This study will serve as a benchmark for the steady development of the wind power industry and towards a secure and sustainable South Asia. خلال العقد الماضي، استخدمت دول جنوب آسيا الرئيسية (باكستان والهند وبنغلاديش) بشكل فعال كهرباء الرياح لتجنب مأزق الطاقة في المستقبل. ومع ذلك، تتأثر صناعة الرياح بمجموعة متنوعة من العوامل. الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو تطوير نموذج سلسلة القيمة لصناعة طاقة الرياح في جنوب آسيا، والتدقيق في كل من العوامل الداخلية والخارجية لتحليل جدوى الوضع الحالي وخارطة الطريق المستقبلية لتعزيز قطاع طاقة الرياح من خلال اعتماد نموذج نقاط القوة والضعف والفرص والتهديدات (SWOT). أولاً، تم تطوير نموذج سلسلة قيمة جديد لصناعة الرياح. ثانيًا، حددنا العوامل الاجتماعية والاقتصادية والبيئية، التي تؤثر بشكل كبير على القدرة التنافسية وتطوير صناعة الرياح من خلال فحص واضح ودقيق لنقاط القوة والضعف والفرص والتهديدات من منظور جنوب آسيا. تم تحديد وتحليل ما مجموعه 19 عاملاً. تشير نتائج البحث إلى الوضع الحالي والتوقعات المستقبلية لصناعة الرياح في بيئة تنافسية. وأخيرًا، اقترحنا تدابير سياسية أساسية لتحقيق الاستقرار في نمو صناعة الرياح. ستكون هذه الدراسة بمثابة معيار للتطور المطرد لصناعة طاقة الرياح ونحو جنوب آسيا آمنة ومستدامة.

Abstract China has exhibited an active attitude with regard to abating global climate change. To analyze the effect of economy development and urbanization quality on interregional energy transmissions against a backdrop of new-type urbanization, this study integrated MRIO model, complex network method, and spatial autocorrelation analysis to systematically analyze the spatiality and spillover effects of interregional energy connections. The results show that the interregional energy connectivity was spatially dependent whilst urban-rural income ratios and population structures were statistically significant in the national-level spatial econometric analysis. Specifically, a regional-level spatial regression analysis demonstrated that population structure, education level, the energy connectivity of other regions, and the income-expenditure ratios of other regions were four determinants that were significant in eastern, central, and western areas. Structural optimization is a key direction for future energy reduction nationwide. This study shed light on the current spillover effects of energy connective intensity, which is beneficial for making stratified and fair energy reduction policies at the regional level.

Many researchers, environmentalists and economists have made tremendous efforts to enable polices and measures for waste recycling, to improve the quality of the public living environment and to achieve a better quality of everyday life. This study examined the quality of life (QOL) in high-rise buildings in relation to sustainability. It investigated household recycling behaviour and explored the QOL factors that affect such behaviour. Two models based on different types of recycling behaviour were estimated: 1) a model for the use of public recycling facilities (UPRF) and 2) a model for the use of private recycling sectors (UPRS). Data were collected through a survey of 505 residents in two old districts of Hong Kong. The assessment of QOL included consideration for the physical settings, the socio-demographic variables and the respondents’ attitudes on recycling and living environments. The research methods involved questionnaires and interviews. Correlations and multiple regression analyses were conducted to interpret the data collected through the questionnaires. The findings indicated that UPRF can be significantly predicted by physical settings and by satisfaction with the location of facilities, with the residents’ participation and with the quality of the neighbourhood and accommodation. UPRS can be significantly predicted by housing type, income and the availability of private recycling sectors. These findings also indicate some directions for researchers and policymakers to consider. These directions concern how environments and public facilities should be designed to encourage sustainable behaviour and enable a better QOL without compromising environmental sustainability.

Regarding the modern power smart grid, distribution consumers and prosumers are highly concerned about power quality (PQ). In fact, they would prefer to pay higher prices for a reliable and good quality power supply. Unfortunately, utility operators still aim for reliability alone, ignoring the quality of supply voltage and current. There are no clear guidelines for monitoring, penalizing, or implementing PQ-based tariff schemes in LV distribution systems. In addition, the implementation of a PQ-based tariff requires a real-time measuring mechanism at the user end, which is very expensive and difficult to understand for a domestic consumer. This paper presents a novel, low-cost, efficient, and user-friendly smart PQ meter to overcome these issues and limitations. It is essentially a PQ analyzer with energy metering functionality, which implements a novel PQ-based tariff scheme that penalizes consumers violating the PQ limits and provides incentives for a good PQ profile. It measures as many as 28 parameters and keeps track of the PQ for both the consumer and the grid in real-time. This paper demonstrates the specifications, design, and testing of the meter and proves the validity of the concept by practical implementation. The meter is practical, feasible, and economical for implementing PQ-based tariff schemes in LV distribution systems or smart grids.

Kwok Wing Chau in OpenAIREDuring the past two decades of e-commerce growth, the concept of a business model has become increasingly popular. More recently, the research on this realm has grown rapidly, with diverse research activity covering a wide range of application areas. Considering the sustainable development goals, the innovative business models have brought a competitive advantage to improve the sustainability performance of organizations. The concept of the sustainable business model describes the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value, in economic, social, cultural, or other contexts, in a sustainable way. The process of sustainable business model construction forms an innovative part of a business strategy. Different industries and businesses have utilized sustainable business models’ concept to satisfy their economic, environmental, and social goals simultaneously. However, the success, popularity, and progress of sustainable business models in different application domains are not clear. To explore this issue, this research provides a comprehensive review of sustainable business models literature in various application areas. Notable sustainable business models are identified and further classified in fourteen unique categories, and in every category, the progress -either failure or success- has been reviewed, and the research gaps are discussed. Taxonomy of the applications includes innovation, management and marketing, entrepreneurship, energy, fashion, healthcare, agri-food, supply chain management, circular economy, developing countries, engineering, construction and real estate, mobility and transportation, and hospitality. The key contribution of this study is that it provides an insight into the state of the art of sustainable business models in various application areas and future research directions. This paper concludes that popularity and the success rate of sustainable business models in all application domains have been increased along with the increasing use of advanced technologies.
