Research on governance structure and benefit balance concerning urban regeneration in Beijing, China: Analysis of the best practical cases

While proposing the national strategy of implementing urban regeneration, the Chinese government put forward requirements such as preventing large-scale demolition and construction and protecting historical architecture, indicating that the previous urban regeneration methods of demolishing low-rise and old buildings and building high-rise and new ones are no longer applicable. As the capital city, Beijing is facing more stringent constraints on reduction-oriented development and historical protection, and the problems of insufficient motivation and unclear paths for market players to participate in urban regeneration have become more prominent. Based on a systematic review of the main theories and practices of market participation in urban regeneration, this study builds a market-oriented mechanism analysis framework for urban regeneration of “governance structure-benefit balance.” In this study, we compared 34 cases that won the title of “The First Beijing Urban Regeneration Best Practice in 2022” and conducted further in-depth analysis of three typical cases by semi-structured interviews, field research, qualitative analysis, and quantitative comparison. From the study, we identified three typical governance structures of welfare protection, economic growth, and comprehensive development during the emergence of market participation in Beijing’s urban regeneration process and found that different governance structures have different cooperation and interaction mechanisms, value promotion orientations, and benefits distribution, which are respectively applicable to facilities and public space regeneration projects that implement social public welfare responsibilities, industrial regeneration projects with ample economic value-added space, and regional comprehensive regeneration projects where quasi-public goods and private goods coexist. We believe that the coexistence of multiple governance structures is an inevitable choice for China’s market mechanism of urban regeneration. The value-added space of urban regeneration projects should be further improved, the distribution of interests among multiple subjects should be balanced, and the sustainable and normalization of urban regeneration actions should be promoted.

Behavioural design of gamification elements and exploration of player types in youth basketball training

In Mainland China, the sports training process of most players is highly homogenized, the convergence of which makes them ineffectively be identified with their individual and specific profile and difficult for them to play the sports according to their strengths and characteristics. Moreover, existing sports training software does not differentiate between player types to provide customized persona. Therefore, efficient and personalized methods need to be provided to guide players towards more autonomous sports training. Current research shows that gamification design in the process of sports training can transform players' unique conscious behaviors into habits, thus increasing their autonomy. However, the current gamification design in sports training is only based on uniform gamification elements and does not take into account the player's motivation and gamification experience, which is one of the main reasons for the homogenization of sports training. Therefore, this study aimed to identify factors that contribute to the design of gamification systems in the field of sports training, as well as to determine the relationship between players' gamification experiences during sport.

Analyzing the Impact of Crowd Absence on English Football Team Performance During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant disruptions across society, particularly impacting the realm of sports, including English football. One of the most notable changes was the absence of crowds during matches, which deviated from the vibrant atmosphere traditionally associated with football stadiums. This study seeks to conduct a comprehensive analysis of how the absence of crowds affected the performance of English football teams during the pandemic seasons, specifically focusing on the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-2021 season. The EPL, like many other leagues, had to adapt to the pandemic by playing matches behind closed doors. This was a significant departure from the norm, as the home crowd historically influenced team performance. We conducted a quantitative analysis, examining metrics like goals scored, goals conceded, wins, and losses for all 20 EPL teams in both the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. The impact of empty stadiums varied; teams heavily reliant on home support, such as Liverpool and Manchester United, were more affected, as were attacking teams like Manchester City and Chelsea. This analysis provided valuable insights into crowd absence effects, supported by statistical tests. The study also explores factors like home advantage, player motivation, communication dynamics, and the psychological impact of empty stadiums while assessing teams' resilience in adapting to unprecedented circumstances. Keywords: Football dynamics, English football, Crowd absence, Stadium atmosphere and Sports performance.

How Location-Based Games Incentivize Moving About: A Study in the Context of Nature-Going

Location-based multiplayer games such as Pokémon GO are tied to real-world locations. Past research has demonstrated that, consequently, these games influence where players move. In order to explore what dynamics in these games incentivize travel to specific places or areas, we engaged in interviews with active players. We discovered 11 unique game dynamics, which could be positioned under three overarching themes: (1) the playing field, as determined by the placement of points of interest, the players' habitat and their surroundings; (2) the player communities and real life relationships, which motivated and directed the playing; and (3) coincidental motivational support, which highlighted how location-based games offer multi-layered motivation for players to travel to, and engage with, specific real-world locations. Our study contributes to the fields of gamified human mobility and human-nature interaction by elucidating how playful technologies can influence where and when people move.
