Revealing the heterogeneity in Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is crucial for tackling environmental challenges while fostering sustainable development. Anchored in the EKC hypothesis and using quantile regression approaches, this study explores the varied effects of socioeconomic factors on CO₂ emissions for cities at different development stages in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region from 2000 to 2020. In addition, the impact of rebound effects of technological advancements on CO₂ emissions are also explored across cities. We find that an N-shaped relationship exists between GDP per capita and CO₂ emissions, supporting the EKC hypothesis in the PRD urban clusters. Urbanization significantly increases CO₂ emissions in cities with low to moderate emissions (e.g., a 1% increase in urbanization leads to a 0.963% rise in emissions in cities at the 25th quantile), while its impact diminishes in high-emission cities (e.g., resulting in a 0.199% reduction in cities at the 95th quantile).Additionally, openness and foreign trade exert a significant inhibitory effect on CO₂ emissions in all cities; and a rebound effect is identified in cities with medium and high emission levels (above the 50th percentile) in the PRD region. By analyzing the drivers of CO₂ emissions, taking into account development stages and rebound effects, this study highlights the heterogeneity in how different factors impact CO2 emissions across cities at varying stages of development within the PRD urban cluster. These findings emphasize that policymakers must recognize this heterogeneity when formulating emission reduction and development strategies. Tailoring policies to the specific economic, spatial, and industrial dynamics of cities at different stages within urban agglomerations is essential to effectively address the sustainable development.

揭示环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）的异质性对于应对环境挑战和促进可持续发展至关重要。本研究以环境库兹涅茨曲线假说为基础，采用量子回归方法，探讨了 2000 年至 2020 年珠江三角洲（PRD）地区处于不同发展阶段的城市的社会经济因素对二氧化碳排放的不同影响。此外，还探讨了技术进步的反弹效应对各城市二氧化碳排放的影响。我们发现，人均 GDP 与二氧化碳排放量之间存在 N 型关系，支持珠三角城市群的 EKC 假说。在中低排放城市，城市化会大幅增加二氧化碳排放量（例如，城市化每增加 1%，位于第 25 个量级的城市的二氧化碳排放量就会增加 0.963%），而在高排放城市，城市化的影响则会减弱（例如，城市化每增加 1%，位于第 25 个量级的城市的二氧化碳排放量就会减少 0.199%）、此外，开放程度和对外贸易对所有城市的二氧化碳排放都有显著的抑制作用；在珠三角地区，中高排放水平（高于第50个百分位数）的城市出现了反弹效应。考虑到发展阶段和反弹效应，本研究通过分析二氧化碳排放的驱动因素，突出了不同因素对珠三角城市群内处于不同发展阶段的城市的二氧化碳排放的异质性影响。这些发现强调，决策者在制定减排和发展战略时必须认识到这种异质性。根据城市群内不同阶段城市的具体经济、空间和产业动态调整政策，对于有效解决可持续发展问题至关重要。

The impact of the built environment on running behavior is a subject of interest in existing theories. However, empirical evidence is limited due to data acquisition challenges. This paper addresses this gap by utilizing 3271 valid running routes sourced from the Chinese fitness app Keep to construct a running intensity index based on 10664 road segments in Guangzhou, China, with intensity values ranging from 0.000013 to 17.645459 m/m². It analyzes the spatial characteristics of running intensity. Using global and local regression methods, the study explores runners’ environmental preferences concerning natural exposure, street environment, and neighborhood. The results indicate that streets with higher running intensity, exceeding 10.082 m/m², are closer to water bodies and green spaces, while lower-intensity areas, below 2.049 m/m², are often associated with busy traffic, noisy commercial activities, and sparsely populated regions. Global regression results demonstrate that positive environmental attributes, such as street greenery (OLS coefficient: 2.658∗∗), promote running behavior, while negative attributes like street density (OLS coefficient: −18.681∗∗), hinder it. However, several local regression results contradict these global findings. Our results offer valuable insights for planners and policymakers to develop targeted intervention strategies that enhance vibrant running streets, fostering the integration and symbiosis of urban public spaces.

建筑环境对跑步行为的影响是现有理论所关注的一个主题。然而，由于数据采集方面的挑战，实证证据非常有限。本文利用中国健身应用 Keep 中的 3271 条有效跑步路线，构建了基于中国广州 10664 个路段的跑步强度指数，强度值范围为 0.000013 至 17.645459 m/m2。它分析了跑步强度的空间特征。研究采用全局和局部回归方法，探讨了跑步者对自然暴露、街道环境和邻里关系的环境偏好。结果表明，跑步强度较高的街道（超过 10.082 平方米/平方米）距离水体和绿地较近，而跑步强度较低的地区（低于 2.049 平方米/平方米）往往与繁忙的交通、嘈杂的商业活动和人烟稀少的地区有关。总体回归结果表明，街道绿化（OLS 系数：2.658∗∗）等积极的环境属性会促进跑步行为，而街道密度（OLS 系数：-18.681∗∗）等消极属性则会阻碍跑步行为。然而，一些局部回归结果与这些全球性发现相矛盾。我们的研究结果为规划者和政策制定者提供了有价值的见解，有助于他们制定有针对性的干预策略，增强街道的活力，促进城市公共空间的整合与共生。

The complex and multifaceted characteristics of urban expansion contribute to increasing challenges for policy-makers in planning and managing metropolitan areas worldwide. Typologies have been helpful in better describing and understanding the differentiated paths of urban development. This research introduces a novel classification that integrates multidimensional growth and development components by employing hierarchical clustering analysis. We present urban typologies at the city and municipal levels for 18 Latin American metropolitan areas, with a total of 253 municipalities. Metrics include built-up area, urban density, fragmentation, compactness and types of new built-up land (infilling, edge extension and leapfrog) and several demographic and economic information. The investigated cities and municipalities revealed varying degrees of compactness or sprawl, with several implications for socioeconomic conditions. Three main types emerged: 1) compact, dense areas associated with wealthier socioeconomic conditions and a trend of sprawl (at the municipal and city levels), 2) dense, infilling areas with vulnerable socioeconomic conditions (at the city level), and 3) fragmented areas with vulnerable socioeconomic conditions (at the municipal and city levels). These types represent a unique combination of urban characteristics, allowing the understanding of the interlinkage of built-up changes with socioeconomic indicators, which can help to identify challenges and opportunities for managing Latin American cities.

城市扩张的复杂性和多面性给全球大都市地区的规划和管理决策者带来了越来越多的挑战。类型学有助于更好地描述和理解城市发展的不同路径。本研究通过采用分层聚类分析，引入了一种整合多维增长和发展要素的新型分类方法。我们介绍了拉丁美洲 18 个大都市区（共 253 个城市）在城市和市镇层面的城市类型学。衡量标准包括建成区面积、城市密度、破碎度、紧凑度、新建成区类型（填充、边缘扩展和跃进）以及一些人口和经济信息。所调查的城市和市镇显示出不同程度的紧凑或无计划扩展，对社会经济状况产生了若干影响。出现了三种主要类型：1）与较富裕的社会经济条件和无计划扩展趋势相关联的紧凑、密集地区（在市政和城市层面）；2）社会经济条件脆弱的密集、填充地区（在城市层面）；以及 3）社会经济条件脆弱的分散地区（在市政和城市层面）。这些类型代表了城市特征的独特组合，有助于了解城市建设变化与社会经济指标之间的相互联系，从而有助于确定拉丁美洲城市管理的挑战和机遇。

Primary healthcare (PHC) acts as a cornerstone of public health. The 15-min city concept, advocating convenient access to essential urban services such as PHC within a 15-min walk, has gained traction globally. However, there remains a lack of understanding regarding the 15-min accessibility to PHC services, crucial for physically vulnerable individuals requiring regular medical attention. Previous healthcare accessibility studies often use the traditional floating catchment area (FCA) method, which overlooks demand and service supply inflation within catchment areas, potentially leading to inaccuracies in accessibility estimates. This study addresses the gap in understanding fine-grained 15-min accessibility to PHC services by employing an enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) method, which considers the inflation effect. Additionally, our study incorporates hot spot analysis (Getis-Ord Gi∗), bivariate local Moran's I (Bi-LISA), and the Gini index to reveal inter- and intra-parish accessibility inequalities across the 7 parishes in Macau. Findings highlight Nossa Senhora de Fátima parish as having the highest concentration of low-income public housing estates and significant inter- and intra-parish 15-min PHC accessibility inequalities. This emphasizes the need for policymakers to consider integrating PHC facilities when developing public housing estates for low-income residents.

初级卫生保健（PHC）是公共卫生的基石。15 分钟城市 "概念提倡在步行 15 分钟内方便地获得基本城市服务，如初级保健服务，这一概念已在全球范围内得到推广。然而，人们对 15 分钟内获得初级保健服务的可及性仍然缺乏了解，而这对于需要定期就医的身体弱势群体来说至关重要。以往的医疗服务可及性研究通常使用传统的浮动集水区（FCA）方法，这种方法忽略了集水区内的需求和服务供应膨胀，可能导致可及性估算不准确。本研究采用增强型两步浮动集水区法（E2SFCA），考虑了通货膨胀效应，从而弥补了在了解 15 分钟内初级保健服务可及性方面的不足。此外，我们的研究还结合了热点分析（Getis-Ord Gi∗）、双变量本地莫兰指数（Bi-LISA）和基尼系数，以揭示澳门 7 个教区之间和教区内部的无障碍程度不平等。研究结果表明，花地玛堂区是低收入公共屋邨最集中的地区，而且堂区之间和堂区内15分钟初级保健服务的可及性存在明显的不平等。这强调了政策制定者在为低收入居民开发公共屋邨时考虑整合初级保健设施的必要性。

This study investigates the extent to which and how regional cooperation influences urban greenspace exposure inequality within China's megacity-regions. By employing a novel theoretical framework—the Greenspace Exposure Gini Index (GEGI)—which incorporates indicators of greenspace availability, proximity, and inequality, a case study of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) uncovers three key findings. First, greenspace exposure inequality has escalated in most GBA cities, with only Macao, Hong Kong, and Dongguan exhibiting a consistent decline. Post-2014, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong have experienced a stabilization of greenspace exposure inequality, characterized by fluctuating but controlled levels. Second, regional cooperation has been found to mitigate greenspace exposure inequality through strategic resource allocation and infrastructure investment. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of such cooperation is contingent upon addressing the complexities of regional spatial heterogeneity and non-stationarity. Last, the analysis unveils a potential unintended consequence of economic, social, and institutional cooperation within the region: the exacerbation of greenspace exposure inequality. This phenomenon arises when resource allocation disproportionately favors economically developed areas, thereby widening disparities in greenspace access. In conclusion, this study illuminates the evolving nature of regional cooperation, shifting from a primary focus on policy alignment and resource synergy to a more nuanced approach aimed at reducing urban greenspace exposure inequality.

本研究探讨了区域合作在多大程度上以及如何影响中国特大城市区域内的城市绿地暴露不平等。通过采用新颖的理论框架--绿地暴露基尼指数（GEGI）--将绿地可用性、邻近性和不平等指标结合在一起，对粤港澳大湾区（GBA）进行的案例研究发现了三个重要发现。首先，大多数粤港澳大湾区城市的绿地暴露不平等程度都有所上升，只有澳门、香港和东莞持续下降。2014 年后，广州、深圳和香港的绿地暴露不平等趋于稳定，其特点是水平波动但可控。其次，区域合作可通过战略资源配置和基础设施投资缓解绿地暴露不平等问题。然而，这种合作的有效性取决于解决区域空间异质性和非平稳性的复杂性。最后，分析揭示了区域内经济、社会和机构合作可能产生的意外后果：加剧绿地暴露不平等。当资源分配不成比例地偏向经济发达地区，从而扩大了绿地使用权的差距时，就会出现这种现象。总之，本研究揭示了区域合作不断演变的本质，即从主要关注政策协调和资源协同转变为旨在减少城市绿地暴露不平等的更细致入微的方法。

Street segments have witnessed growing scholarly attention for their pivotal role in determining urban crime patterns. However, existing studies have not thoroughly considered the effects of refined street types on crime, let alone their interactive effects with business facilities on crime. This research aims to fill these gaps, by examining the relationship between theft, street type and Facilities in Cincinnati. Results show that alleys and pedestrians are less susceptible to theft than major and minor arterial streets. Interactive terms between street type and Facilities enhance the model's performance and reveal that the concentration of thefts is positively related to the association between Facilities and local streets or major arterial streets. Our findings offer not only add to the existing literature, but also offer insight on urban safety and planning practice.

由于街道在决定城市犯罪模式方面发挥着关键作用，因此受到越来越多学者的关注。然而，现有的研究并未深入考虑精致街道类型对犯罪的影响，更不用说它们与商业设施对犯罪的交互影响。本研究旨在通过考察辛辛那提的盗窃、街道类型和设施之间的关系来填补这些空白。研究结果表明，与主干道和次干道相比，小巷和步行街更不容易发生盗窃案。街道类型和设施之间的交互项增强了模型的性能，并揭示出盗窃案的集中程度与设施和当地街道或主要干道之间的关联呈正相关。我们的研究结果不仅丰富了现有文献，还为城市安全和规划实践提供了启示。

Methamphetamine is destroying the world. One of the most harmful drugs, methamphetamine leads to both physical and psychological health problems, and further deaths. The impact of methamphetamine extends beyond individual users and harms the community. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified spatial heterogeneity of methamphetamine use. Such spatial heterogeneity highlights the need for locally tailored interventions. Therefore, modeling that accounts for spatial heterogeneity is essential for studying methamphetamine use. This study investigates methamphetamine use from 2010 to 2020 in the Seoul metropolitan area. The geographical random forest (GRF) applied in this study accounts for the spatial heterogeneity of methamphetamine, and the Getis-Ord hotspot analysis tracks the changes of methamphetamine hotpots at a given time. GRF results show that crime is the most significant global factor in methamphetamine use, especially rape and assault. However, primary local factors differ by region: single households in Seoul, financial independence in Gyeonggi-do, and foreign populations in Incheon. Hotspot results show Gangnam-gu in Seoul and Jung-gu in Incheon as major hotspots for methamphetamine. These areas were related to nightlife and international transport hubs, respectively.

甲基苯丙胺正在毁灭世界。作为危害最大的毒品之一，甲基苯丙胺会导致生理和心理健康问题，并造成更多人死亡。甲基苯丙胺的影响超出了吸食者个人的范围，对社会造成危害。最近，COVID-19 的流行加剧了甲基苯丙胺使用的空间异质性。这种空间异质性凸显了因地制宜采取干预措施的必要性。因此，考虑空间异质性的建模对于研究甲基苯丙胺的使用至关重要。本研究调查了 2010 年至 2020 年首尔大都会区的甲基苯丙胺使用情况。本研究中应用的地理随机森林（GRF）考虑了甲基苯丙胺的空间异质性，Getis-Ord 热点分析跟踪了特定时间内甲基苯丙胺热点的变化。GRF结果显示，犯罪是影响甲基苯丙胺使用的最重要的全球性因素，尤其是强奸和袭击。然而，主要的地方因素因地区而异：首尔的单身家庭、京畿道的经济独立和仁川的外来人口。热点地区结果显示，首尔江南区和仁川中区是甲基苯丙胺的主要热点地区。这些地区分别与夜生活和国际交通枢纽有关。

Such spatial heterogeneity highlights the need for locally tailored interventions. Therefore, modeling that accounts for spatial heterogeneity is essential for studying methamphetamine use. This study investigates methamphetamine use from 2010 to 2020 in the Seoul metropolitan area. The geographical random forest (GRF) applied in this study accounts for the spatial heterogeneity of methamphetamine, and the Getis-Ord hotspot analysis tracks the changes of methamphetamine hotpots at a given time. GRF results show that crime is the most significant global factor in methamphetamine use, especially rape and assault. However, primary local factors differ by region: single households in Seoul, financial independence in Gyeonggi-do, and foreign populations in Incheon. Hotspot results show Gangnam-gu in Seoul and Jung-gu in Incheon as major hotspots for methamphetamine. These areas were related to nightlife and international transport hubs, respectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48396,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geography","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 103470"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the spatial and functional characteristics of metro stations in terms of passenger mobility and built environment is imperative for the transportation system development. This study integrates streetscape visual semantics with traditional mobility and land use factors to provide a multi-dimensional characterization of metro stations. By developing a novel semantic analysis framework, this study identifies distinct clusters of Shanghai Metro stations that share similar characteristics in mobility, location, and visual semantics. The results reveals a strong alignment in the similarity among passenger mobility, land use, and streetscapes. Metro stations in the commercial and entertainment zones of the urban center exhibit a high degree of visual enclosure, activity, and diversity, maintaining high ridership throughout the day. In contrast, residential-oriented stations in suburban transfer hubs display clear commuting patterns and more balanced visual characteristics. Furthermore, our findings highlight “partially similar stations”, which, despite exhibiting similar mobility patterns, reflect heterogeneous land use configurations and streetscapes owing to variations in urban structure and development. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the spatial dynamics of metro stations and offer valuable implications for urban planning and metro management.

了解地铁站在乘客流动性和建筑环境方面的空间和功能特征对交通系统的发展至关重要。本研究将街景视觉语义与传统的流动性和土地使用因素相结合，对地铁站进行多维度描述。通过开发一种新颖的语义分析框架，本研究确定了在流动性、位置和视觉语义方面具有相似特征的上海地铁站群。研究结果表明，乘客流动性、土地使用和街道景观之间的相似性具有很强的一致性。位于市中心商业区和娱乐区的地铁站呈现出高度的视觉封闭性、活跃性和多样性，全天都保持着较高的乘客量。相比之下，位于郊区换乘枢纽、以住宅为导向的地铁站则显示出清晰的通勤模式和更为均衡的视觉特征。此外，我们的研究结果还强调了 "部分相似的车站"，尽管这些车站表现出相似的流动模式，但由于城市结构和发展的差异，它们反映了不同的土地利用配置和街道景观。这些发现有助于加深对地铁站空间动态的理解，并为城市规划和地铁管理提供有价值的启示。

Urban ecological resilience (UER) reflects the ability of cities to adapt to environmental changes and cope with natural disasters. Further, UER is an important perspective for understanding human–land relations in the Yellow River Basin (YRB). We constructed a novel system of UER evaluation indicators from the perspective of synergistic enhancement, with 99 cities in the YRB as objects for the research conducted from 2011 to 2021. The spatiotemporal heterogeneity and network pattern of UER were measured using the Theil index and modified gravity model. The factors influencing UER in the YRB were analysed using a multiscale geographically weighted regression model. The results show that (1) regarding time-series analysis, the UER in the YRB shows a fluctuating upward trend from 20.89 in 2011 to 26.23 in 2021, with the contribution of ecological image being the largest. The UER at different reaches, urban agglomerations, and cities varied considerably. (2) Regarding spatial analysis, the UER has a ‘center-periphery’ spatial distribution pattern dominated by provincial capital cities. The spatial network shows a '几'-shaped distribution pattern similar to the YRB mainstream distribution. Regarding UER connectivity, the ability for cross-regional joint development has improved. (3) The main influencing factors were urbanisation rate, education level, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and upgrading of the industrial structure, which represent urban development progress and geographical ecological characteristics. This study expands UER measurement and provides a basis and reference for synergistic enhancement of UER in the YRB.

城市生态复原力（UER）反映了城市适应环境变化和应对自然灾害的能力。此外，UER 还是理解黄河流域人地关系的重要视角。我们以黄河流域 99 个城市为研究对象，从协同增效的角度构建了一套新颖的 UER 评价指标体系，研究时间跨度为 2011 年至 2021 年。采用 Theil 指数和修正的引力模型对 UER 的时空异质性和网络格局进行了测量。采用多尺度地理加权回归模型分析了影响长滩区 UER 的因素。结果表明：(1) 从时间序列分析，长江河段 UER 呈波动上升趋势，从 2011 年的 20.89 升至 2021 年的 26.23，其中生态形象的贡献最大。不同河段、城市群和城市的 UER 相差较大。(2) 从空间分析来看，UER 呈现以省会城市为主的 "中心-外围 "空间分布格局。空间网络呈 "几 "字形分布，与长三角主流分布相似。在 UER 连接方面，跨区域联合发展的能力有所提高。(3) 城市化率、教育水平、归一化差异植被指数和产业结构升级是主要影响因素，代表了城市发展进程和地理生态特征。本研究拓展了 UER 的测量方法，为协同提升长三角地区的 UER 提供了依据和参考。

Economies of agglomeration play a crucial role in the creation of innovation in regional innovation systems. In the last decade, coworking spaces have become an organisational innovation of the sharing economy in these systems. Therefore, research on spatial co-agglomeration between coworking spaces and service industries is rising, identifying creative industries as the most significant services for colocation with coworking spaces. Previous studies on spatial association between coworking spaces and service industries have focused on the global distance measurement of their co-agglomeration. Hence, the paper provides insight into the extension of the research by comparing two cross-sectional datasets at different times by locally measured multiple colocations between coworking spaces and the selected creative industries in Prague and Warsaw. The present study is expected to contribute to understanding the spatial association in the long-term trajectories of coworking spaces with creative industries. The results underline the importance of the usage of local colocation quotients in space-time perspective for the detection of spatial association between coworking spaces and creative industries for determining trajectories of their spatial interactions, which resulted in both intensification and spatial diffusion of CBD functions in the adjacent inner city and along urban arterial roads supporting the polycentric metropolis model.

集聚经济在区域创新体系的创新创造中发挥着至关重要的作用。在过去十年中，协同办公空间已成为这些系统中共享经济的一种组织创新。因此，有关协同办公空间与服务业空间协同集聚的研究正在兴起，并将创意产业确定为与协同办公空间集聚的最重要服务业。以往关于协同办公空间与服务业空间关联的研究主要集中在协同集聚的全球距离测量上。因此，本文通过比较不同时期的两个横截面数据集，对布拉格和华沙的协同工作空间与所选创意产业之间的多重聚落进行了本地测量，从而为研究的扩展提供了深入的见解。预计本研究将有助于理解协同工作空间与创意产业长期轨迹中的空间关联。研究结果强调了从时空角度利用本地同位商数检测协同办公空间与创意产业之间空间关联的重要性，以确定它们的空间互动轨迹，这导致 CBD 功能在邻近内城和城市干道沿线的强化和空间扩散，支持多中心大都市模型。
