Spatial analysis of digital economy and its driving factors: A case study of the Yangtze River Delta City Cluster in China.

The digital economy (DE) has become a major breakthrough in promoting industrial upgrading and an important engine for high-quality economic growth. However, most studies have neglected the important driving effect of regional economic and social (RES) development on DE. In this paper, we discuss the mechanism of RES development promoting the development of DE, and establish a demand-driven regional DE development model to express the general idea. With the help of spatial analysis toolbox in ArcGIS software, the spatial development characteristics of DE in the Yangtze River Delta City Cluster (YRDCC) is explored. We find the imbalance of spatial development is very significant in YRDCC, no matter at the provincial level or city level. Quantitative analysis reveals that less than 1% likelihood that the imbalanced or clustered pattern of DE development in YRDCC could be the result of random chance. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis with publicly available dataset of YRDCC indicates RES development significantly promotes the development of DE.

Frontier Revitalisation of Industrial Heritage with Urban–Rural Fringe in China

The urban–rural fringe is at the forefront of the confrontation between the agricultural and industrial civilisations. How to handle the relationship between the two civilisations in this region and ensure its sustainable development is an eternal topic in the science of the human-living environment. Thanks to the special historical background of the Third Line construction, China’s industrial heritage connects with the urban–rural fringe that surpasses other countries. For the first time, this study connects China’s Third Line construction, industrial heritage, and urban–rural integration within the same context, combining big data bibliometric methods to obtain the development characteristics and context of China’s industrial heritage research starting from 2004. It has strong policy characteristics, is influenced by administrative orders, and is aligned with urbanisation efforts. Theoretical exploration is the first step in research, followed by value connotations and cultural qualities. It addresses various topics, including industrial heritage conservation, regeneration approaches, and cultural heritage tourism. The research focuses primarily on the value appraisal of industrial heritage, exploring revitalisation tactics and routes, as well as regional development models in urban–rural periphery areas. This study also examines how scholars generally consider the impact of industrial heritage on the economic, social, and cultural development of urban–rural fringe areas in order to integrate and propose various protection and utilisation strategies, such as industrial heritage preservation, cultural and creative industry development, and tourism resource development.

Models for the Development of Regional Cinematographies in the Russian Federation: Preliminary Observations

The article is devoted to the current state of regional cinema development in the Russian Federation and draws on the authors’ extensive practical experience in the development of regional cinema in Russia.A brief historiography of the issue is given, and approaches to the definition of “regional cinema” are considered. The authors explore models of regional cinema development in contemporary Russia by analyzing key areas in different regions. For generalization and modelling, the methodology for analyzing the region’s activity in the sphere of film development, which includes 10 areas, developed in 2018, is taken as a basis. This methodology allowed us to isolate several models that are based on a certain dominant factor. These include attracting external film crews to the region and supporting them through a regional film commission (the Kaliningrad model); the prevalence of authentic ethnic issues in cinema, which form the content basis of regionally produced products and are primarily oriented towards the internal regional distribution market and domestic audiences (the Yakut model); and the creation of a workshop for higher specialized film education programmes in a particular region (the Kabardino-Balkarian model). The authors also suggest a mixed model, which does not have a clear dominant development direction and is common in most regions of the Russian Federation. The authors also draw attention to models of regional cinema development that may become promising in the future.

Systemic Barriers to Optimal Cancer Care in Resource-Limited Countries: Jordanian Healthcare as an Example.

This narrative review explores the multifaceted barriers hindering access to quality cancer care in Jordan. A literature-based narrative review was undertaken to explore the current identified barriers to cancer care in Jordan. Four databases were searched using relevant keywords to identify key insights on barriers and proposed solutions. Key challenges and potential solutions were identified based on evidence from studies, reports, and initiatives. Medical services and infrastructure exhibit centralized disparities, impacting rural and underserved areas. Human resources shortages, geopolitical instability, and quality management issues pose significant challenges. Public awareness campaigns face hurdles in addressing the tobacco epidemic and late-stage diagnosis. Socioeconomic disparities, particularly in health insurance and urban-rural divides, further compound barriers. Refugees encounter distinct challenges, including late-stage diagnosis, financial barriers, and psychological distress. Despite multiple challenges, Jordan presents a model for regional development and health equity. This study not only contributes to improving cancer care in Jordan but also offers a roadmap for policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and researchers in similar contexts globally. Government initiatives, financial aspects, and proposed policy measures are examined as potential solutions. Recommendations include coordinated prevention strategies, enhanced screening uptake, training programs, the equitable distribution of facilities, and policy directives aligned with global commitments. The role of digital technologies, telemedicine, and community engagement models is emphasized.

Regional development of Kazakhstan: Theoretical premises and reality

The present study examines the issues of regional development of Kazakhstan in the context of history and real events. The relevance of the study is due to the need to search and adapt the accumulated advanced experience in regional development as a part of smoothing the differentiation of territories in the socio‐economic sphere and the search for effective methods of managing them. The purpose of the study is to search for and identify an effective theoretical model of regional development of the Republic of Kazakhstan that meets the urgent needs for the rational use of the resources available, which is a prerequisite for future economic development, and, as a result, improves the quality of life in the regions. The leading approach in this paper is a combination of analytical and information‐logical methods to determine the existing historical prerequisites and real grounds for the theoretical substantiation of the stages of regional development in Kazakhstan. The results of this study emphasize the need to objectively take into account the peculiarities of the development of the region and its actual state.

Just Transition in Australia – depoliticisation?

ABSTRACT We cannot and should not assume that Just Transition (JT) is a straightforward and uncontested concept. In this article, we turn a critical eye on JT, firstly by looking at the origins and development of the idea. Secondly, we will look at the theoretical frameworks that have been mobilised to underpin JT. Thirdly, we will look at the way that trade unions in Australia, both through the ACTU and individual unions, have approached the subject, as well as the approach put forward by an Australian Senate Inquiry into the future of jobs in regional Australia. We will look in particular at the way that the move to a new model of regional development is critically affecting JT. We examine the impact of this emerging model with growing demands for a National Transition Authority to drive and coordinate transitions. Our concern is that in engaging with an emerging and powerful view of regional development that combines Renewable Energy Industrial Zones, hydrogen hubs and public-private partnerships, JT is being replaced by notions of decarbonisation or even diversification that threaten to undermine the value and power of the concept.

Ноономическая модель развития регионального туризма

In the context of a complicated geopolitical situation and with a certain change in the possibilities of human movement in space, a subconscious, but later conscious increase in a person's desire to travel occurs at the first stages, expanding the space around them to obtain new positive emotional sensations. The active development of domestic tourism provides for the need to choose a conceptual approach in prioritizing the orientation of the tourism industry market. The classical approach to the development of regional tourism is focused on the development of tourist infrastructure and the promotion of a differentiated competitive tourist product. The Sverdlovsk region, traditionally known for promoting industrial and business tourism, is entering the next stage of tourism development in the region, which allowed it to move from 10th place in 2022 in the ranking of sustainable development of tourism and the hospitality industry in the subjects of the Russian Federation to 6th place in 2023. Currently, a new, non-economic model of regional tourism development is being formed, aimed at meeting the needs of each individual tourist and subsequently increasing the tourist flow and income to the region as a result of the current prolonged effect of new travel experiences. At the same time, when choosing a travel product, a person is based on his sensory perception and the possibility of receiving positive emotions. The priority is to meet the needs, then increase the tourist flow and income from tourism.

The article analyzes the raw materials policy within the sustainable regional development system and legal regulations governing ESG reporting.

The impact of tax competition on urban-rural income gap: a local governance perspective

ABSTRACT In China, the regional economic development model affected by government competition is an important factor leading to the income inequality of urban and rural residents. This paper aims to study the influence mechanism of tax competition among local governments on urban-rural income gap from the perspective of government intervention and tries to explain the reasons for the gradual narrowing of urban-rural income disparity since 2010. Using a dynamic panel data of 30 provinces, this study reveals that tax competition has alleviated the urban-rural income gap, and this effect shows temporal extensibility and spatial correlation. It is more obvious in eastern and central China and consistent in different local tax categories. Although tax competition has narrowed the overall income gap, the wage income inequality has been exacerbated. In addition, local fiscal autonomy, urbanization, public service provision and industrial structure are the important influencing channels of the mechanism.

Adaptive innovation model design: Integrating agile and open innovation in regional areas innovation

Regional innovation should be adaptive because it involves uncertainties and risks, and the context of each region is critical to the success of innovation processes. However, regional areas often face unique challenges that require tailored approaches to innovation. The focus of innovation is evolving and needs to prioritize sustainability. Consequently, adaptable innovation approaches are essential to ensure the sustainability of addressing the challenges and opportunities that arise within each regional context. Thus, the paper aims to answer three research questions: 1) How are agile and open innovation concepts described within the context of regional innovation? 2) Are the concepts of agile and open innovation compatible for integration into an adaptive model in the development of regional innovation? and 3) What patterns or commonalities emerge in the comparison between theories identified for adaptive regional innovation? This research study adopts a conceptual synthesis approach to integrate the existing knowledge. It draws on two innovation concepts: agile innovation, which offers agility and open innovation to enrich collaboration in development. Our work makes a significant contribution by proposing an adaptive innovation model for regional innovation development that explains the integration of agile and open innovation. The adaptive innovation model defines essential activities such as innovation focus areas, idea management, concept development, implementation, and evaluation, which are all part of the innovation emphasis areas. It also identifies the quadruple helix as key players in this model. This methodology can be used by regional governments and policy makers to encourage regional innovation towards sustainability and resilience.

China-Africa cooperation and challenges related to the belt and road initiative

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) presents a new vision of three-dimensional international cooperation and relations that break not only the regional development model of scattered distribution but also strengthen connectivity and economic collaboration between China and participating nations. Domestically, it runs through eastern, central and western parts of China, linking major coastal port cities and extending to ASEAN countries. Overseas, it embraces Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia via land and connects Europe and Africa via sea, further forming a circular economic zone linking sea and land. This article reviews the literature on the role of BRI in promoting economic cooperation among countries along these routes. Similarly, it examines criticisms leveled against the BRI and clarifies misconceptions embedded in such criticisms. With specific reference to Africa, the paper analyses the benefits inherent in the BRI and critically examines the challenges that may confront the Initiative. The article equally takes into cognizance the inevitability of future challenges and frictions that may occur between China and Africa and, therefore, suggests a co-development model that could be used to ameliorate, if not solve, these challenges. In conclusion, the paper recommended that despite the high risks and existing threats, the BRI can be implemented successfully with both China and Africa achieving a balance of interest as well as long-term and mutual benefits.

Urban climate adaptability and green total-factor productivity: Evidence from double dual machine learning and differences-in-differences techniques

Climate change has increasingly become a significant challenge to sustainable socio-economic development, and climate adaptation is a key issue that relevant research focuses on regional sustainable development models. By employing panel data between 2007 and 2020 from 284 Chinese prefecture-level cities, this study adopts quasi-experimental methods, including a difference-in-differences design and double dual machine learning model, to study the impact of climate adaptability on green regional sustainable development. Empirical results confirm that the pilot policy of building climate-resilient cities significantly improves urban green total-factor productivity. Difference-in-difference models (derived from entropy-weight and propensity score matching) and double dual learning models also support the improving effect of regional green total-factor productivity after policy intervention. The digital economy has strengthened the green development effect of pilot policies for building climate-adaptive cities. In addition, policy interventions to build climate-adaptive cities promote green urban development by optimizing industrial development structures and enhancing economic growth resilience. In addition, climate adaptability can also attract highly skilled talent and high-quality enterprises, facilitate science and technological progress in urban areas, and thus promoting the green development of cities in China. This study objectively evaluates the effects of climate policies and provides insights for global adaptation to climate change and optimization of public policies.

Insight into the effect mechanism of sedimentary record of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon: Isotopic evidence for lake organic matter deposition and regional development model

Deciphering the temporal patterns of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediment cores, and the effect mechanism of sedimentary organic matter (OM) and regional development model on PAHs are crucial for pollution control and environmental management. Herein, sediment core was collected from Chenhu international wetland in Wuhan, central China. Meanwhile, historical trend and source of PAHs and sedimentary OM were presented, respectively. Result demonstrated that the most significant growth of PAHs (increased by 158.8%) was attributed to the significant enhancement of traffic emission (5.57 times), coal combustion (4.59 times), and biomass burning (8.09 times). Similarly, the percentage of phytoplankton (stage Ⅲ: 37.9%; stage Ⅳ: 31.2%) and terrestrial C3 plants (stage Ⅲ: 24.6%; stage Ⅳ: 29.2%) to sedimentary OM hold the dominant position after the stage Ⅱ. The obvious shifts of historical trend and sources in PAHs were highly related to economic development models (r = 0.72, p < 0.001) and sedimentary OM (r = 0.82, p < 0.001). It demonstrated that eutrophication of lake accelerated the burial of PAHs. Redundancy analysis results suggested that TOC was dominating driver of sedimentary PAHs (16.56%) and phytoplankton occupied 9.58%. To further confirm the significant role of economic development models, three different historical trends of PAHs in different regions of China were presented. The result of this study provides the new insight into the geochemistry mechanism of lake sedimentary OM and PAHs. Meanwhile, the relationship of regional development model and sedimentary PAHs was highlighted in this study. Significantly, the main environmental implications of this study are as follows: (1) lake eutrophication of phytoplankton OM accelerated the burial of PAHs in lake sediment; (2) economic development models and energy structure significantly influence the sedimentary PAHs. This study highlights the coupling relationship between OM burial and PAHs sedimentation, and the importance of accelerating the transformation of economic energy structure.

Application of Successful EU Funds Absorption Models to Sustainable Regional Development

The research paper comprehensively and consistently addresses all relevant theoretical areas related to the topic and includes an extensive empirical analysis of the absorption of EU funds and their impact on the sustainable development of Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and Poland. The analysis aims to investigate the efficiency of the absorption of funds from the EU, the impact of these funds on regional development of countries, and the reasons for such impacts. The “Regional Development Model Based on EU Funds” was tested with the aim of applying the model to the Republic of Croatia, countries in the region, and other European countries, to achieve a higher level of absorption of financial resources from the available EU funds. Data for the empirical analysis were collected using a highly structured survey questionnaire completed by a sample of 244 respondents involved in the preparation and implementation of EU-funded projects. The contribution of economic science in theoretical terms arises from the development of scientific knowledge and ideas about the importance of increasing the number of development projects that will increase the absorption of funds from the European Union, thereby increasing economic activities in Croatia and the region. The expected contribution of economic science in the applied sense is based on the formulation of the “Regional Development Model Based on EU Funds”, which is based on the application of knowledge, good practices, and stakeholder experiences, considering relevant indicators from available sources. The greatest contribution is demonstrated through testing the “Regional Development Model Based on EU Funds”, which is applicable to the Republic of Croatia, countries in the region, and other European countries over a longer period. Finally, research into the impact of EU funds on the regional development of recipient countries is considerably less represented and very modest, and is only in the “upswing” of systematic scientific research. The research aims to fill the gaps in research and to encourage the thinking of key stakeholders responsible for regional development, who should eventually realize the importance of defining a regional policy aimed at EU funds as a key to regional development and reducing regional disparities within countries.

Waqf and sustainable development law: models of waqf institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia

This research aims to find out the regional waqf (endowment) and sustainable development models in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia in terms of their laws, managements and investments. It uses a qualitative approach through observation, documentation and interviews with officials and those in charge of waqf from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. The data was then elaborated with expert opinions based on Herman Daly’s sustainable economic theory and John Locke’s theory of ownership and Islamic law theory (hifz al-mãl, himãyah al-bī‘ah and istiṣlãh). This study found that through the waqf system, the waqf institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia managed to reach certain achievements, namely good education, poverty reduction, hunger alleviation, and decent work. It was found that waqf institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia carried out various programs in every area of sustainable development, including providing drinking water. Another service included digging wells in areas where they were needed, which we rarely found in Indonesia. The Sustainable Waqf Law contributed to several aspects that could positively impact society and sustainable development in general. The Sustainable Waqf Law could positively impact sustainable social, economic, and environmental development. In addition, the waqf contributed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 11, 13 and 16. Finally, it is important to involve various parties, including waqf institutions, government, communities, and other stakeholders, to ensure the sustainability, transparency, and fairness in the management of waqf assets and their utilization in achieving sustainable development goals.

Long-term energy-environment-economic programming under carbon neutrality target: a study on China’s regional energy transition pathways and CO2 mitigation strategies

ABSTRACT Carbon neutrality is one of the key issues in mitigating global climate change. The carbon neutrality process accelerates the global energy transformation from fossil energy to renewable energy. Among the main indicators related to carbon neutrality proposed by the Chinese government, those directly related to energy include carbon emission intensity, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption, and the total installed capacity of wind and solar power generation. It can be seen that the transformation of energy development is crucial for realizing carbon neutrality. Meanwhile, the correlation between carbon neutrality and economic development is not antagonistic. On the contrary, carbon neutrality can not only enhance the quality and efficiency of traditional industries but also improve the overall development of society. Therefore, the coordinated and sustainable developments of the energy - economy- environment (3E) system is the priority for achieving the target of carbon neutrality. However, the impact of carbon neutrality on regional development requires long-term consideration, which increases the difficulties of comprehensive planning. In this study, a long-term comprehensive programming model of regional energy and economic development under carbon peaking and carbon neutrality targets was established. A carbon neutrality assessment indicator (CNAI) framework was constructed to assess the effect of carbon neutrality actions in different regions. Meanwhile, a LEAP model was developed to simulate energy demand and carbon emissions. The multi-target weights determined by assessment results of CNAI and the parameters range set by LEAP model were the basis of the multi-objective optimization model to support regional development. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied to Shaanxi province in China, which offered quantitative targets and suggestions for energy structure transformation and industrial structure adjustment. The results show that coal and oil will account for 6.25% of the total energy consumption and the proportion of secondary industry will drop to 25.40% by 2060. The method established in this study provides a new scientific approach for resolving multi-objective trade-offs in long-term programming and determining a reasonable optimization range for regional development under climate mitigation policies.
