Deriving the impact mechanism of urban green space environment on community social capital based on multi-source data integration: a case study of nanjing city, China

Abstract With the orderly progression of urban renewal in China, social capital, as an important factor in analyzing the relationship between stakeholders, has once again become a key topic in urban planning research. Green spaces have proved to have a more notable impact on social capital than other built environment factors. In light of this, the present study is based on the data of 1,282 residents’ questionnaire surveys conducted in Nanjing in 2022 and extracts spatial characteristic information of green space through multisource big data such as remote sensing data, street-view data, and points of interest, to investigate the influence mechanism of physical and perceived attributes of urban green space on community social capital. The study found that there are differences in the influence mechanisms and dimensions of these dual attributes of green space on social capital. The direct effect of perceptual attributes is more substantial, while physical attributes almost exclusively affect social capital indirectly through the perception of green space. Notably, among the physical attributes, only the total coverage of neighborhood vegetation has a considerable direct effect on neighborhood relations, whereas community sentiment, a willingness to participate, and larger and more aggregated green spaces do not enhance community social capital effectively. Lastly, community social capital is affected substantially by exogenous variables of socioeconomic attributes, and there is group differentiation. Results reveal the direction of renewal and optimization of urban green spaces from the perspective of promoting social capital, which provides a reference for the synergistic and high-quality development of the community’s physical and nonphysical environments.

Integration and Evaluation of an Immersive Virtual Platform

The virtual reality (VR) industry has tried to enhance VR immersion, a perception of being physically present in a non-physical environment. Sound, simulators, and surrounding environments can be synergistically augmented together to enhance immersion in VR. In this paper, we first integrate an immersive virtual platform that builds on a moving vehicle simulator in an immersive virtual environment. The simulator is integrated to have efficient localization with inexpensive sensors and to produce the loosely synchronous motion according to dynamically changing VR simulations and contents. The virtual environment called an immersive room is designed to provide 360-degree videos experience and deliver VR contents without a head-mounted display (HMD). In addition, we investigate the quality of experience (QoE) via a comparative survey study between the proposed immersive virtual platform and the conventional VR using an HMD in terms of immersion and motion sickness. Through the human-subject study with the newly designed questionnaire, we confirm that the general QoE is improved in terms of immersion and motion sickness by using the proposed immersive virtual platform. To verify which factors in the loosely synchronous motion are effective in improving QoE, the components of the motion control are ablated to show their individual effects. We provide the statistical analysis to support our hypotheses that for the proposed VR platform, participants with the loosely synchronous motion are more immersed and less likely to feel motion sickness than those without the synchronous motion in both the immersive room and VR with HMD.

Identification and Prioritization of Significant Factors in Traffic Casualties of Shiraz-Kazerun Road During the Spring of 2018: An Expert Panel Consensus

Background: Iran has a uniquely catastrophic status for road traffic injury and fatality. Fars province has had the highest number of casualties among the other provinces in recent 5 years. For instance, there are 966 road accident fatalities in 2018. Shiraz-Kazerun road is the deadliest one in Fars province. So, to help the policymakers toward better planning, this study was established to identify and prioritize the significant factors in traffic casualties of the Shiraz- Kazerun road during the spring of 2018 from the experts’ point of view. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using a three-phase mixed method. The first step was to identify the effective factors in road traffic fatalities using available resources. In the second step, the identified factors were arranged in the form of a checklist and were provided to a team of experts. The important factors were distinguished according to local priorities, availability of data, and the contribution of each factor to the deaths of people. The consensus was considered higher than 75% agreement by experts on each identified factor. In the end, these factors were ranked according to experts’ views in the form of a seven-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using Excel software and mean parameter. Results: According to panel consensus, 33 out of 41 effective factors were identified in the road traffic accident which were divided into five different categories: driver-pedestrian-passenger, vehicle and equipment, physical environment, non-physical environment, and health services. After analyzing the data, factors of age, seat belts, traffic lanes, police monitoring, and accessibility of the accident scene had the highest values. Conclusion: This study specifies the need for a systematic and responsive process to evaluate, report, and prioritize the factors affecting road traffic fatalities scientifically. Considering the limitation of resources, policymakers can emphasize more effective factors like fastening seat belts to reduce road traffic accident impacts.
