Circular urbanism: Strategic optimization of construction costs and embodied carbon for economic resilience and sustainable development

The progress of industrialization and rising electricity demand have significantly impacted various aspects of our lives, leading to a prioritization of green electricity sources such as wind turbines. However, managing the waste from end-of-life turbine blades poses a significant challenge, particularly as the first generation of wind turbines in Europe, primarily made of glass fibre-reinforced thermosets, reaches the end of service life. Unfortunately, landfilling and incineration remain common disposal methods in many EU countries. Co-processing end-of-life blades in cement manufacturing offers a promising alternative by enabling energy and material recovery. This method aligns with sustainable development and circular economy goals. Cement production, known for its high CO 2 emissions and extensive raw material consumption, can benefit from substituting ground or shredded turbine blades, which contain organic and inorganic components. This study conducts a comparative life-cycle assessment of incineration and co-processing across different European countries to identify the disposal method with the least environmental impact. The evaluation focuses on carbon footprint reduction and water conservation as key benefits. Findings reveal that while incineration poses risks to global warming, it can help preserve water. In contrast, co-processing yields environmental benefits across all assessed categories by conserving raw materials for cement production. The normalized results indicate that human health is the most impacted area of protection for both processes, with resource benefits influenced by the type of energy produced in the examined countries. The Global Warming Potential values for co-processing are similar across the four countries (−525 kg CO2-eq for Germany, −523 kg CO2-eq for Spain, −533 kg CO2-eq for Italy, −494 kg CO2-eq for the Netherlands), representing an environmental benefit from substituting the raw mineral feedstock with EoL turbine blades. Moreover, the results show that, in terms of Human Health and Ecosystems, co-processing produces environmental benefits, whereas incineration generates damage (positive impact values) due to emissions that are harmful to living species regardless of geographical location. • Comparative life-cycle quantitative assessment between different waste management possibilities for EoL wind turbine blade. • The assessment is carried out in different European countries. • Description of the co-processing recycling procedure of EoL turbine blades is presented. • The environmental impacts have been presented in terms of GWP, AWERE, human health, natural resource, and ecosystem.

The decline in foreign tourist arrivals in Bali in 2025 represents a critical issue, given ‎the strategic role of tourism in regional economic development and community welfare. This ‎phenomenon occurs amid intensified global tourism competition and significant changes in ‎international travel behavior. This study aims to examine the dynamics of declining foreign ‎tourist arrivals in Bali and to identify the key factors influencing this trend. A descriptive ‎qualitative approach was employed by analyzing tourism-related conditions and phenomena ‎without relying on interview-based data. The findings indicate that the decline in foreign tourist ‎arrivals is driven by an interplay of global and local factors, including global economic ‎uncertainty, shifts in tourist preferences, destination overcrowding, environmental concerns, and ‎the perceived quality of tourism experiences. The impact of this decline extends beyond the core ‎tourism sector to supporting industries and local communities that depend on tourism-related ‎activities. These findings emphasize the need for adaptive and sustainable tourism management ‎strategies to strengthen Bali’s competitiveness as an international tourism destination amid ‎evolving global tourism dynamics.‎

Port group integration and regional high-quality economic development: Mechanisms and spatial effects

Universal health coverage (UHC) is a concept that includes-protection from financial risks for all; access to quality primary health services; and, access to essential medicines and vaccines that are safe, effective, high quality, and inexpensive. Public health expenditure (PHE) is expected to improve healthcare delivery in terms of access, quality and financial risk protection. To this end, this study aims to explore the relationship between progress in UHC and PHE across various countries. We analyzed the trends in UHC and PHE between 2000 and 2021 in 187 countries, using the UHC service coverage index(UHC-SCI), a composite measure of 14 indicators spanning reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, infectious disease, non-communicable disease, service capacity and access. Data on UHC-SCI and public health expenditure (PHE) was obtained from the WHO Global Health Observatory and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated, and a fixed-effects panel regressionmodel was used to explore the association between UHC-SCI and public health expenditures, while adjusting for economic, governance and health system factors. Between 2000 and 2021, change in UHC-SCI was positively correlation with change in PHE(r = 0.845;p-value = 0.017), explaining 66.9% of the variability in UHC-SCI. Mean public health expenditure as a % of CHE(PHE-CHE) increased by 3.08% and 1% increase in PHE was associated with 2.71-point increase in UHC-SCI. A panel regression model consisting of economic, governance and health system indicators explained 90% of variability in UHC-SCI between 2000 and 2021. Overall UHC-SCI progress between 2015 and 2021 was associated with only 7.9% of the UHC progress since 2000, with poor progress in upper-middle-income countries despite increased PHE. The analysis revealed a strong positive association between public health expenditure and progress in UHC-SCI across income groups, with public funding likely playing a pivotal role in advancing universal health coverage in addition to economic development, and governance. However, the limited progress in UHC-SCI since 2015, particularly in UMICs, despite increased public expenditure, underscores the need for policies that prioritize efficient resource allocation, equity, and access to essential health services through transparent and accountable governance mechanisms, so that the allocated public health funds are efficiently used for maximum effect.

Aceh's formal implementation of Islamic law, as Indonesia's only province endowed with special autonomy in this domain, offers a critical socio-legal setting for examining how Islamic legal principles are translated into contemporary public policy. While Islamic economics and governance have generated substantial scholarly debate, the conceptual foundations of Islamic financial governance within regional policymaking remain insufficiently theorized. This study addresses this gap by reconstructing siyasah syariah maliyah as an integrated framework of Sharia-based financial governance grounded in classical Islamic political thought and adapted to Aceh's modern regulatory context. Employing qualitative conceptual analysis, the study synthesizes the tradition of siyasah shar'iyyah with Aceh's legal and institutional developments. The findings reveal that siyasah syariah maliyah operates through seven interrelated dimensions: public welfare (maslahah), resource allocation, legal-rational policymaking, policy flexibility (siyasah), regional legislation (qanun), market supervision (hisbah), and economic development (tanmiyah). These dimensions are empirically reflected in Aceh's Islamic financial transformation, particularly through the mandatory conversion of conventional banks into Islamic banks and the enactment of regulatory qanun. The study contributes to the literature by offering a systematic conceptualization of siyasah syariah maliyah, demonstrating the acculturation of Islamic legal norms into modern governance, and proposing an adaptable model for Muslim-majority regions seeking to institutionalize Islamic financial principles within plural legal systems.

Since the 1994 democratic transition tourism has been viewed as a major driver for local economic development in South Africa. In terms of South African policy frameworks local governments are considered to provide a supportive role for local tourism development. This paper analyses the fluid policy landscape in South Africa across the period 1994-2026 which shaped and continues to reshape the allocated roles of local governments towards local tourism development. The analysis draws primarily upon documentary sources in respect of three decades of policy papers which have been produced by national government and seek to delineate the responsibilities of local government towards tourism. Other material is sourced from the South African Local Government Association (SALGA), an organisation founded to represent, promote and protect the interests of local government authorities in the country and supplemented by detailed interviews conducted with the municipal manager and a tourism official at one of South Africa’s most tourism-dependent local municipalities.

This study aims to examine the impact of green transport on sustainable tourism development, focusing on the tourist destination of Rugova.

This study will analyze the green transport practices that have been implemented in Rugova and will assess the impact of these practices on preserving natural resources, promoting eco-tourism, and improving the image of the destination as a sustainable place for tourists. The methodology used in this study will include analysis of primary and secondary data, including interviews with tourism industry stakeholders and representatives of transport institutions. Local policies and strategies that support the use of sustainable transport will also be examined. This study has shown that, altho ugh there is great support and significant potential for the development of green transport in Rugova, there are still major challenges that need to be addressed. The expected results will help identify opportunities and challenges related to the integration of green transport in the development of sustainable tourism in Rugova, providing recommendations for improving transport infrastructure and policies that support sustainable tourism development in the region. This study will contribute to the field of tourism and environmental management by providing an in-depth analysis of the impacts that green transport can have on sustainable tourism development, with a special focus on an important destination like Rugova.

The relationship between social health insurance reforms and income inequality has not been thoroughly examined with the domain of social policy research. This study employs data from the China Family Panel Studies spanning 2014 to 2020 and employs a staggered difference-in-difference model to examine the association between China's Urban-rural Residents' Medical Insurance Integration reform and the urban-rural income disparity, as well as related changes in household health and income. Our findings indicate that the reform has significantly reduced the income gap, a result that is consistent across multiple robustness checks. Notably, the improvement in the health status and economic conditions of rural households is consistent with the reduction in urban-rural income inequality, while no comparable changes were observed among urban households, which were not directly affected by the reform. Furthermore, the reform's effectiveness was most pronounced among households with lower dependency ratios and those with lower incomes. The impact of the policy was particularly significant in regions characterized by advanced healthcare infrastructure and higher levels of economic development. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the relationship between social health insurance reform and income inequality, while offering suggestive insights into how changes in health and economic conditions may be associated with this relationship.

Climate change has caused significant impacts on coastal areas, particularly in the form of tidal flooding, coastal abrasion, and environmental degradation, which in turn affect food and nutrition security as well as the socio-economic conditions of local communities. This community service activity aimed to strengthen food and nutrition security while enhancing the adaptive capacity of coastal communities to climate change through the sustainable utilization of mangrove ecosystems by implementing mangrove honey bee cultivation in Tugu District, Semarang City. The program employed a participatory community-based approach that included socialization activities, a one-day technical training on mangrove honey bee cultivation, the establishment of a community business group, and the assessment of participants’ knowledge improvement using pretest and posttest methods. The results indicated an increase in participants’ knowledge following the training, accompanied by improved community awareness regarding the importance of mangrove conservation and the economic potential of mangrove honey as a nutritious food source. Furthermore, the program successfully facilitated the formation of a mangrove honey bee management group oriented toward sustainable business development. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that mangrove honey bee cultivation has strong potential as an effective climate change adaptation strategy to support food and nutrition security as well as the economic resilience of coastal communities. The recommendations emphasize the need for continuous mentoring, strengthening of community business institutions, and the integration of mangrove conservation programs with local economic development to support the implementation of nature-based community service models in coastal areas.

Since toponymy constitutes an important segment of historical linguistics, ethnolinguistics, and sociolinguistics, it is not limited merely to the naming of places but also reflects the cultural, historical, economic, and spiritual development of a people. Studies on toponymy particularly those concerning remote areas such as Leskovik and Kolonjë have been conducted only partially, although these regions offer rich ground for detailed analysis. This study examines the standardized and dialectal uses of macrotoponyms in the Leskovik and Kolonjë area, with special focus on toponyms that exhibit both standard and dialectal forms, such as Gramoz, Lengaricë, Lëngëz, Bezhan, Qafëzez, Radanj, Radimisht, Gërmenj, and others. The aim is to understand how phonetic, morphological, and semantic variations in toponyms reflect the deep historical, linguistic, and cultural structures of these regions. Historical and archival sources, as well as materials collected through interviews with local inhabitants, have been analyzed, providing a combined approach that integrates bibliographic research with fieldwork. The results indicate that the standardized forms of place names have been disseminated through educational institutions and official state documents, while the dialectal forms continue to be preserved in everyday use, demonstrating a strong sense of local identity. The study emphasizes the need to document dialectal forms, as this effort will contribute to building a database of the toponyms of this area and to preserving the onomastic and linguistic heritage of Southeastern Albania.

1. The primary aim of this study was to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of Ethiopian indigenous chickens and to estimate the economic weights of key performance traits. Data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to smallholder poultry farmers and subsequently analysed using R statistical software.2. Data were analysed using a bio-economic model integrating biological performance parameters with economic parameters to assess the profitability and efficiency of production systems. It was applied to a standardised flock of 100 indigenous chickens (IC) to evaluate economic performance across systems for egg number (EN), body weight (BW), age at first egg (AFE) and survival rate (SV).3. The study revealed that production in Shambu and Fincha districts was predominantly based on a free-range production system (FRS), whereas production in Shagar City was mainly a semi-intensive system (SIS). The FRS generated a total income of US$1,687.28, while the SIS produced a significantly higher return of US$9,082.85. In both production systems, feed costs accounted for the largest share of production expenses, 61.21% (US$2,709.41) in FRS and 62.94% (US$18,346.63) in SIS followed by fixed costs, which represented 24.04% (US$1,064.28) and 24.27% (US$1,632.88), respectively.4. The major sources of income in both systems were the sale of surplus grower females and cockerels. Specifically, revenues for FRS and SIS were US$46.15 and US$162.80 from eggs; US$2,254.63 and US$3,044.84 from surplus females; US$3,529.42 and US$5,348.27 from surplus cockerels; and US$226.54 and US$236.04 from culled breeding stock, respectively. Under SIS, a 1% improvement in performance through selection and management would increase profits by 6.35 from EN, 54.75 from BW, 20.67 from AFE and 145.42 US$.5. The results suggested that meat-oriented production from indigenous chickens generates higher economic returns than egg production under the two systems. However, economic weights derived from marginal profit and genetic variance, integrating both market values and biological performance indicators, assigned the highest priority to EN (36.46), followed by BW (34.37), AFE (23.91) and SV (5.26).
