Comparison of Compact and Decentralized Urban Development Pathways for Flood Mitigation in Urbanizing Deltas—Guangzhou in the Pearl River Delta as a Case Study

Floods are common and inevitable natural disasters. Achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.5 is a critical challenge for coastal cities, especially those in deltaic lowlands such as in the case of Guangzhou, China. Regarding the spatial planning and design of such urban regions, it is crucial to study the impacts of flooding in compact or decentralized spatial development pathways. This reinforces the understanding of the relationship between strategic decisions for spatial planning and flood mitigation. However, the lack of a computer model to assess spatial evolution paths is a significant limitation. The non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) explores the possibility of a compact built-up land layout in 2030. The results showed that, concerning the 2030 decentralized scenario, the 2030 compact scenario presents a large increase in the integrated fitness function value from 0.618 to 0.771 (the increase is equivalent to 0.153 or about 24.75%). In addition, different development scenarios were constructed by setting different target weights. Compared to the decentralized scenario results, the fitness function values of the optimization results of each scenario showed better results at different levels. They could also serve as a reference for other similar coastal areas to achieve SDG 11.5 by 2030.

Building a Greener Future: Can Malaysia’s Property Development Sector Achieve Sustainable Development Goals?

The primary focus of this current research centers specifically on the property development sector within the larger construction industry domain. It is within this sector that the impact on the environment, resulting from development and construction activities, is particularly pronounced, especially in urban areas undergoing rapid urbanization. These urban areas, or cities, are known to be major contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for an estimated 75 percent of global energy consumption and up to 80 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Although studies on environmental sustainability are extensive, the discussion on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda from the perspective of industry players remains scarce. Therefore, the main objective of this exploratory research is to discover property developers’ commitments and the challenges faced in attaining the sustainability agenda. The research adopts a qualitative research approach where data was collected from seven companies based on purposive sampling techniques. The interview sessions were recorded, transcribed, and data were analyzed using the grounded theory analysis technique. The findings highlighted the positive direction of sustainability practices among property developers in Malaysia with the instrumental role of the government. Overall, the property development sector in Malaysia has witnessed a noticeable shift towards embracing the sustainability agenda in recent years. Increased awareness and efforts are evident as the industry addresses its historical challenges of inefficiency and environmental impact. The study contributes to a greater understanding of the phenomenon that addresses the empirical gap of the study.

Improving Entrepreneur Skills for Micro Business Nearby Al Syakirin Gombak Mosque Malaysia to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract. The Covid-19 pandemic has badly affected micro businesses in Malaysia. The condition is getting better after the Malaysian Government lifted restrictions due to Covid-19 prevention. Al Syakirin Mosque, Gombak Selangor Malaysia, has 345 zakat recipients, some of whom have micro businesses. The micro businesses are mainly located near the mosque. However, a lack of entrepreneurial skills results in prolonged development of their business although Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted, raising concerns about achieving SDG 1 (no poverty) and SDG 2 (no hunger) for the micro business. Meanwhile, there are many opportunities that they can utilize to develop their business, such as obtaining new markets and developing more variety of products. The community service program was conducted in May 2023 in Al Syakirin Mosque Gombak Malaysia in the form of training and consultation on digital marketing and financial management to 26 zakat recipients who have micro businesses or are planning to have micro businesses. Based on the participants’ evaluation in the Google Form, all of them found that the training has improved their knowledge and awareness of digital marketing, halal sources of funds, and preparing and using simple financial reports. In terms of their sales, within three weeks after the training, half of them reported an increase in sales. Based on the interview with participants, this program can reduce the poverty level among participants and educate them with financial literacy knowledge to be independent (SDG 1 on no poverty). This program is also viewed by the participants to be able to help them to open new businesses to avoid hunger and the digital marketing knowledge has opened a broader market to expand their business through the use of it (SDG 2 on no hunger).

Can Enterprises in China Achieve Sustainable Development through Green Investment?

Enterprises have emerged as primary actors in environmental protection owing to the increasingly severe global energy crisis and environmental pollution. Companies can reduce operational costs, achieve environmental social responsibility, and enhance their green image by increasing their green investments. Simultaneously, companies can gain support from investors, governments, and other stakeholders for improving their sustainable development. This study uses fixed-effects regression models to analyze the impact of green investment on corporate sustainability in Chinese listed companies for the period from 2010 to 2020. It also investigates the moderating effects of government environmental subsidies, investor attention, and executives' overseas experience on the relationship between green investment and corporate sustainability. The data used in this study were not only obtained from the China Stock Market & Accounting Research (CSMAR) database but also collected manually from the annual reports and social responsibility reports of listed companies using web crawler technology. And the robustness test was conducted by removing the epidemic year and replacing the range of independent variables and 2SLs. This study uses Stata 17.0 to filter and process the data. The results show that green investment can significantly improve the sustainability of enterprises; besides, government subsidies, investors' attention, and executives' overseas experience all play a positive role in moderating the positive effect of green investment on the sustainable development of enterprises. Further analysis of this study finds that the moderating effect is more significant in non-state-owned enterprises and highly polluting enterprises. This study contributes to broadening the theory related to the green development of enterprises and environmental governance and provides theoretical support for enterprises to make green investment decisions and green transformations.

Social inequality and quality education are significant challenges faced by tribes in India. The study's key objective is to develop an Emotional Intelligence (EI) based conceptual framework for tribal education to achieve quality education and build inclusive societies. The developed framework integrates the Mixed Model of EI and the path-goal leadership theory. The purpose of the study was to do a literature review towards identifying the link between teachers' Emotional Intelligence Competencies (EIC) and growth mindset for effective teaching and superior performance. The article proposes four prime propositions that constitute prerequisites for further hypothesis formulation and validation studies. By adopting teaching practices embedded with growth mindset and EIC, the study has far-reaching implications in achieving sustainable development goals (SDG), such as SDG 4 – Quality Education and SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities.

Mathematical Analysis of Criteria for Maintenance of Technical Systems in the Function of Achieving Sustainability

Achieving sustainable development requires strategic efforts involving the entire organization. Maintenance efforts also play an important role. Company management needs to understand and develop an appropriate strategy to achieve sustainable development by applying maintenance performance measurements. The aim of this paper is to present possible ways of analyzing and ranking the impact of certain criteria with respect to achieving sustainability. The paper uses the method of Structural Equation Modeling—SEM in order to determine the most influential variable on the sustainability of maintenance of technical systems. Based on the set theoretical system model, for all its variables in the model, statements were made that describe them, on which 136 respondents gave their views (from 1 to 5, Likert scale) in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. An intuitive F-DEMATEL method was also used to prioritize variables. A team of 10 experts in the field of maintenance of technical systems was compared the criteria A—Application of technical diagnostics, B—Management of maintenance resources, C—Maintenance process planning, and the dependent variable D—Sustainability of maintenance of technical systems. According to experts, the importance of the criteria coincides with the results obtained by a survey with 136 respondents.

Reduction of Violent Mortality in Order to Ensure National Security and Achieve Sustainable Development Goals in Ukraine

The aim of the article was to analyze violent mortality in Ukraine for some causes (level and structure), track its changes in the dynamics of 1991-2020 and reflect activities to reduce its level in the tasks to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals: Ukraine to highlight the importance of the problem for national security of the country. Scientific novelty. The importance of combating violence as an urgent task for public administration at the national, regional and local levels, aimed at ensuring public and personal safety and reducing the loss of human life as a result of violent deaths, is substantiated. The importance of the problem for Ukraine was illustrated through the representation of tasks related to the prevention of deaths from violence in the national strategy for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The analysis of violent mortality in the dynamics since Ukraine's independence according to the official data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine of the WHO European Regional Database (European mortality database) revealed such features as significant differentiation by sex and higher than in the EU-15 probability of death over 65 years. Ukraine also differs from the excessively high level of losses classified as harm with uncertain intent. Despite the positive dynamics (decreasing of mortality rates due to suicides, homicides and intentional injuries) since 1991, the predominance of indicators compared to the EU-15 has increased. The hypothesis of probable changes under the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic is substantiated. Conclusion. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in the process of reducing violence and related threats to life, health and well-being of citizens will be facilitated by the consistent adoption and implementation by Ukraine of measures at the international, national and local levels aimed at political, social and economic determinants. Key words: violent mortality, suicide and self-inflicted injury, homicide and assault, Sustainable Development Goals, national security management.

Have China's resource-based regions improved in the division of GVCs? — Taking Shanxi Province as an example

Achieving sustainable development is a common challenge for all resource-based regions. With the deepening of globalization, the division of global value chains (GVCs) has become increasingly prevalent. And the question of how to achieve sustainable development in the GVCs is a crucial issue faced by resource-based areas. To study the situation of resource-based regions in the division of GVCs, we take Shanxi Province as an example, and comprehensively analyze its economic benefits and environmental costs by endogenously embedding China's domestic interregional input-output (IO) tables in international IO tables. and expanding the value-added trade accounting method. The results show that, from 2002 to 2012, there was a serious imbalance between economic benefits and environmental costs for Shanxi Province in the division of GVCs. Shanxi has gained fewer economic benefits in the division of GVCs, but has undertaken a lot of carbon emissions. As an inland province, Shanxi indirectly participates in the GVCs by providing intermediate products and raw materials to coastal provinces. Combined with the exports of value-added and carbon emissions, we have built an index of environmental inequity and found that the situation of Shanxi in respect of the GVCs has continued to deteriorate, which has essential implications for future policy making.
