“…In all risk propagation processes, risk units can be summarized as the following three types according to the source of risk: 1 The original producer of risks, namely the risk source; 2 The risks of the risk unit arise only from other risk units; 3 The risks of the risk unit come from a combination of other risk units and its own. This section considers risk units like 1 and 3 , which can internally generate risk, in order to cut the source of the risk to inhibit the propagation.…”

“…Urban sustainability generally refers to the sustainable development of society, economy, and environment within the city [1]. There are quite a few studies that focus on the assessment of city sustainability [2], especially for its environmental dimensions [3,4]. In recent years, frequent urban public emergencies have caused heavy loss of life and property and adversely affected city surroundings.…”

Formation Mechanism and Coping Strategy of Public Emergency for Urban Sustainability: A Perspective of Risk Propagation in the Sociotechnical System

et al. 2018

Urban public emergencies now break out frequently, causing heavy losses and threatening urban sustainability at the same time. To help better curb public emergencies, minimize their damage to cities, and maintain the sustainable operation of the city, this paper takes the urban public emergency as the research object, discussing the formation mechanism of urban public emergencies and putting forward feasible countermeasures. First, we propose the concept of risk propagation chain and construct an urban socio-technical system risk propagation chain model by introducing the Tropos Goal-Risk framework. The risk propagation chain formation mechanism and the emergency formation mechanism are researched by using this model to analyze the specific conditions and paths of risk propagation. Then the targeted countermeasures are put forward to prevent and manage emergencies, advancing the goal of sustainable development. Finally, a case is used to verify the theory and model. This study not only provides a theoretical framework for the formation of urban public emergencies but also provides a practical method for modeling public emergencies and dealing with urban sustainability problems.

“…The value and contribution of natural urban green spaces to biodiversity and their ecological importance with respect to ecosystem services are well-known [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. This green infrastructure has a variety of functions connected to the maintenance of basic ecological processes, properties, and resulting services [8][9][10][11][12][13], including positive climatic effects [3,8,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. From a social point of view, urban green spaces offer facilities that can be used by city dwellers, e.g., as meeting points and places for relaxation and recreation [8,9,21].…”

In addition, they have multiple benefits (physiological and psychological) with respect to health and well-being (e.g., [7,8,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]).…”

The extensification (opposite of intensification) of urban public green spaces offers great potential for conservation. One major issue for the long-term success of such a measure is, however, its acceptance by the urban population. This contribution presents the results of an image-based online questionnaire that we set to elucidate the role of sociodemographic affiliations regarding the perception of urban green areas. We also asked whether acceptability can be increased by the presence of additional structural elements (sculptures, benches) and "acceptance stripes", i.e., stripes regularly mowed only at the margins of a natural green space. Regarding structural elements, 40to 60-year-olds consistently rejected intensely maintained lawns and perceived a lawn as positive only in combination with a sculpture. A regularly mowed acceptance stripe resulted in a positive perception of natural meadows by people with an affinity for city life, classified based on their actual place of residence and/or their social dimension including aspects such as sense of place, familiarity, profession, and interests. Thus, decision-making processes of policy makers must be evaluated together with the urban population and should be assessed multidimensionally, i.e., by considering various criteria (e.g., ecological, social, and aesthetic aspects) in order to meet the requirements of residents and achieve an increase in biodiversity.
