Climate change is a significant concern to all of us. It is now becoming a hot topic of discussion among people around the world with social media being a ubiquitous platform for debate. As in other countries, the Government of India has started various initiatives to minimize the causes of climate change. But the success of all such initiatives depends on people’s participation and understanding. Therefore, this study’s aims are two-fold: (a) to capture the perception of Indian people towards different topics of climate change; (b) to mine the sentiment of Indian people using ‘deep learning’ algorithms. Data from various social media platforms have been used for this research. The study showed that people in India have demonstrated concern about topics related to climate change. The study also found that the convolutional neural network (CNN) was the most effective algorithm for sentiment classification. The results can help different stakeholders, including the Government of India, prioritize various actions to mitigate climate change’s causes and effects based on citizens’ sentiment.

This study investigated the effects of the nature of urban development on land surface temperature (LST) and the strengths of different biophysical and anthropogenic factors in explaining the spatial variation of LST at the neighbourhood scale in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) images were used to retrieve LST. The study found that the mean LST in Dhaka increased at a rate of 1.26°C per decade between 1991 and 2014. LST is found to be higher in the built-up areas, particularly in informally developed areas (i.e., slum settlements) and unplanned mixed-use areas. The OLS analysis indicates that along with bio-physical factors population density, building density and slum concentrations also have a significant effect on the spatial variation of LST at neighbourhood scales. The study findings suggest a planned development with the provision of vegetation cover and water bodies can significantly reduce the LST in Dhaka.

The growth of cities has been facilitated by a variety of factors. One of these is the land annexation by municipality with the assistance of elite individuals. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the elite influenced Nablus—in central Palestine Municipality’s expansion. The study scanned Nablus Municipality Archives, conducted interviews with the annexed villages’ people and used master plans to trace out the city’s expansion across time from 1960 to 2016 (Jordanian rule, Israeli occupation, and Palestinian Authority rule). The ‘elite’ theory has been used to explain how the expansion process succeeded. The analysis found that elite groups proposed and oversaw Nablus Municipality’s expansion boundaries at various times, delayed master plan’s approval and influenced the distribution plots for popular housing projects.

The impact of climate change on fishing activities of businesses, households and fishermen in the northern coastal villages of Vietnam have been studied by Nguyen Thi Ngoc, Ngo Xuan Binh and Nguyen Thi Thu Ha, based on data published by the state agencies and case studies. This article assumes that the coastal fishing villages have a long history, making important contributions to economic and social development of the region. In recent years, fishing activities have expanded, but they are also affected by the consequences of climate change. Businesses, households and fishermen have adopted many measures to respond, but their effectiveness is not high. The study suggests that the government should improve the prediction of the location and evolution of rain, storms and other natural calamities. This issue has several articles on climate change and that of financing urban development, both of which are of prime importance in today’s urbanizing Asia. I hope the readers find these articles useful and interesting. I urge the academic community to share their scholarly articles and original research with us to keep the readers abreast with the current discourse on the environment and urbanization in Asian countries.
Nguyen Thi Ngoc、Ngo Xuan Binh和Nguyen Thi Thu Ha根据国家机构公布的数据和案例研究，研究了气候变化对越南北部沿海村庄企业、家庭和渔民捕鱼活动的影响。本文认为沿海渔村有着悠久的历史，对该地区的经济社会发展做出了重要贡献。近年来，捕鱼活动有所扩大，但也受到气候变化后果的影响。企业、家庭和渔民采取了许多应对措施，但效果不高。该研究建议，政府应该改进对降雨、风暴和其他自然灾害的位置和演变的预测。本期有几篇关于气候变化和城市发展融资的文章，这两方面在当今城市化的亚洲至关重要。我希望读者觉得这些文章有用又有趣。我敦促学术界与我们分享他们的学术文章和原创研究，使读者了解亚洲国家环境和城市化的最新论述。

Rapid urbanization and multiple deprivation are making cities more prone to numerous disasters. This study examines the relationships between disaster risk perception and multiple deprivation in the Rangpur city Corporation area in Bangladesh. Enhanced understanding of this relationship would bring valuable insights for planning and policies, especially pertinent for vulnerable communities in the Global South. Rangpur city is located in a deprived zone of Bangladesh that is highly prone to earthquake and fire hazards, and the population’s low level of risk perception might exasperate their vulnerability to earthquakes and fire. This study’s research methods include an index of multiple deprivation, earthquake and fire risk perception index, geographic information system (GIS)-based mapping, statistical analysis and questionnaire surveys. The statistical methods are correlation analysis, factor analysis, Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test and cross-table analysis. The results of the study show that there is no statistically significant relationship between disaster risk perception and multiple deprivation; however, cross-table analysis revealed a relationship between risk perception and deprivation. The study identified the hot spots of hazard risks and deprivation in Rangpur city. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to investigate the relationship between disaster risk perception and multiple deprivation.

In many cities worldwide, the Smart City concept is used to solve problems that ensure the city’s development. The range of technological solutions applications varies depending on the needs and capabilities of a particular city or country in general. The proverbial all-encompassing meaning of the Smart City definition is not critical; however, it allows for reasonably unambiguous identification of implementation areas and even standardization. Differences in the conditions and goals of implementation are determined by the characteristics of a particular (unique) city, public needs, or demand from citizens for more modern services, and the peculiarities of state regulation and management. In Kazakhstan, the implementation of individual Smart City initiatives began more than 10 years ago. Comprehensive goal setting was carried out in 2017 as part of the Digital Kazakhstan state programme, and a comparative rating for the cities is being calculated from 2020. The article describes and defines the challenges and limitations associated with the unbalanced development measures of Kazakhstan’s cities based on a comparative analysis of indicators that characterize the level of penetration of Smart City technologies. The article substantiates the need to adjust the national policy and change priorities for successful Smart City projects.

This article introduces PMOTO, a quick strategic and low-cost appraisal tool to identify a short-list of the most promising transport policies to mitigate the adverse impact of motorcycle usage on the city environment. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, were selected as test cases for PMOTO with the same set of policy scenarios built on policy inputs such as tax, charges, fuel efficiency, emission costs, demand management, road-based travel, parking fees and public transport services. The relative merits of different policy options will be analysed and compared in each city and between the two cities.

The development of O2O (online to offline) e-commerce and instant delivery has not only made it easy to access information, but also it has overcome the limitation of walking distance, promoting the transformation of traditional commercial space and making online catering a common form of food consumption. Studying the spatial distribution of urban catering industry under new technologies is helpful to understand the current development of the catering industry, which is of great significance for guiding the development of the catering industry. However, the trend and mechanism of changes need to be further studied. Based on the spatial distribution of urban catering industry, this study establishes a framework for analysing offline and online catering spaces. In this framework, big data are used to conduct GIS kernel density analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis to investigate the spatial distribution laws of the catering industry, and multinomial logistic regression analysis is applied to explore the main factors influencing location selection of offline and online catering spaces. The main results include the following: (a) the new pattern of catering space still follows the traditional location selection theory and (b) population density and road network density are the main factors affecting the catering space in Shenzhen.

India’s infrastructure requirements are fuelled by increasing urbanization, a more significant contribution of urban areas to employment generation, a shift to the services-based economy, and the rising importance of climate change and disaster resilience. The National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) is seen as a foundation for achieving India’s economic goal of becoming a 5 trillion economy by 2024–2025. The National Monetization Plan (NMP) is a vital component to financing the NIP. This research uses content analysis to understand how responsive these two documents are to key factors that drive the growth of India’s infrastructure: urbanization, land availability, incorporating sustainability principles, and involvement of the private sector. It is found that the importance given to these factors in the NIP is not sustained in the NMP, with the consequence that the insights obtained while developing the NIP will not inform a significant effort in its financing. It is useful to set out integrated, risk-informed thinking about the life-cycle of monetization. Strengthening the PPP models of NMP with the appropriate valuation of location in cities, land values, and the risks and constraints represented by sustainability would leverage the urban multiplier.
