Assessing Sustainability Behavior and Environmental Performance of Urban Systems: A Systematic Review

Abstract

In this systematic review, I cumulate previous research findings indicating that sustainable urbanism and networked public governance can be instrumental in carrying out extensive sustainability and resilience objectives through steering urban transformations in the direction of sustainability and resilience. Urban analytics data infrastructure, multicriteria sustainability evaluation, and sustainable performance assessment display the intricate network dynamics operational within cities, impacting urban resilience decision-making processes and leading to equitable and sustainable urban development. Throughout July 2020, I conducted a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, search terms including “sustainable urban planning,” “urban sustainability assessment,” “sustainable urban governance/urban sustainability governance,” “sustainable urban development,” “sustainable/sustainability behavior,” and “environmental performance.” As I focused on research published exclusively in the past two years, only 301 various types of articles met the eligibility criteria. By removing those whose results were inconclusive, unconfirmed by replication, or too general, and because of space constraints, I selected 153, mainly empirical, sources. Future research should investigate whether the assessment of environmental sustainability performance of heterogeneous urban configurations by shared sustainability policymaking through spatial green infrastructure planning and regulations articulate sustainable urban design and governance for the development of innovative performance.

Who Has Benefited? A Socio-Ecological Chronology of Urban Resilience in the Early Reconstruction of Talca after the 27-F Earthquake, Chile 2010–2012

“…The importance of the Talca case concerns the representation of intermediate cities facing risks of natural hazards [77]. There are reasons to believe that the evolution of these cases in recovery and reconstruction cycles could either maintain or hamper their inherent opportunities in terms of urban sustainability [78]; however, the city scale is crucial to maintain better urban transformations on the way to sustainability and resilience.…”

Environmental innovation and corporate sustainability: evidence-based systematic literature review

“…As shown in Table 1, the search for review studies resulted in the identification of 17 articles, of which the literature reviews focus on sustainability balanced scorecard Schaltegger, 2016, 2018); measuring sustainability performance (Rodrigues et al, 2016), sustainable performance (Zhang et al, 2017), sustainability as a dynamic organizational capability (Amui et al, 2017), green products (Tariq et al, 2017), proposing sustainable value exchange matrix (Morioka et al, 2018), strategic entrepreneurship and competitive advantage (Paek and Lee, 2018), sustainability management of organizations (Nawaz and Koç, 2018), sustainable business models (Van Bommel et al, 2020) sustainability management and performance (L az aroiu et al, 2020), organizational capabilities towards corporate sustainability benefits (Da Cunha Bezerra et al, 2020), understanding of corporate sustainability paradox management (Luo et al, 2020), supply chain circularity (K€ uhl et al, 2020), sustainable corporate finance (Bui et al, 2020), sustainable operations practices and sustainable performance (Tondolo et al, 2020), and, assessing sustainability behavior and environmental performance of urban systems (Pera, 2020).…”

Does environmental knowledge and performance engender environmental behavior at airports? A moderated mediation effect

“…According to the preceding discussion, the current study extends the implication of TRA by formalizing the proposed framework, which investigates the relation between environmental knowledge, performance, attitude and advertising to improve the environmental behavior of air passengers in NAC airports, which represents and extend the TRA scope to cover a larger geographical region that has yet to be examined, particularly, in improving the airports’ environmental behavior since there is no study adopted TRA to investigate factors influencing Improving individuals’ environmental behavior in general at airports. Since airports raise numerous environmental concerns (Dimitriou and Karagkouni, 2022), airport authorities must take action to improve airports' environmental sustainability performance (Pera, 2020). Therefore, a holistic approach is needed to increase airport EB awareness among individuals (Amaeshi and Crane, 2006; Eid et al ., 2022; Sreenath et al ., 2021; Korba et al ., 2023), especially in NAC airports (Eid et al ., 2022), The theoretical framework presented is being utilized to fill this gap and address this matter.…”
