“…The coronavirus affected all global activities in different economic sectors and industries, mostly due to the disruption caused by government lockdowns imposed to stop the spread of the virus among the population. The transportation and logistics sector was partially paralysed by the lockdown measures (Castillo et al, 2022) and SC activities, which often depend on this sector, were the first to be affected. This had a negative impact on future business operations in different markets around the world (Handfield et al, 2020;Knight et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis study aims to identify the past, present and future lines of research in the supply chain resilience (SCRES) literature and to answer the question of whether resilience is “just another” supply chain (SC) concept or if it constitutes its own theory.Design/methodology/approachThis study involves a bibliometric analysis of 1,596 research articles published in the Web of Science Core Collection™ database between 2004 and 2021, with a focus on: publications and citations per year, co-citations of articles and authors, co-occurrences of the keywords used and thematic development. Seven SCRES experts have also analysed and discussed the research results.FindingsThe results show how resilience has become one of the main thematic blocks of SC research in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 62.04% increase in academic publications. Despite the abundant literature, there is still no overarching theory of SCRES. One possible hindrance to the creation of such a theory is the variety of existing definitions and models of SCRES. This research identifies this as a shortcoming that future studies should address. As the results show, the combination of SCRES with other fields, such as engineering and ecology, can help in constructing a global theory of SCRES.Originality/valueBibliometric analysis is used to confirm the SCRES literature gap in the development of an overarching theory, although resilience constitutes one of the main thematic blocks of the SC literature.

“…All these changes have made less probable to reach the maximum levels exposure showed in our study for future years. Also, a major event like COVID-19 pandemic that occurred posterior to our study period, has affected pollution emissions in a positive manner [ 47 , 48 , 49 ]. However, this improvement was probably not highly significant in long terms due to other modifications in daily conducts after returning to normality.…”

The variation on birth weight is associated with several outcomes early on in life and low birth weight (LBW) increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Some environmental exposures during pregnancy, such as particulate matters and other traffic-related pollutants can have a significant effect on pregnant women and fetuses. The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of exposure to traffic density during pregnancy over birth weight in Spain, from 2000–2017. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study using the information from Spain Birth Registry Statistics database. The traffic density was measured using the Annual average daily traffic. Multivariate linear regression models using birth weight and traffic density were performed, as well as a logistic regression model to estimated Odds ratios for LBW and GAM models to evaluate the non-linear effect. Our findings showed that increases in traffic density were associated with reduction of birth weight and increases of LBW risk. Moreover, exposure to high and very-high traffic-density during pregnancy were associated with reduction of birth weight and increase on LBW risk comparing with exposure to low number of cars trespassing the neighborhoods. The results of this study agree with previous literature and highlights the need of effective policies for reducing traffic density in residential neighborhoods of cities and towns.

“…Because of this, the expansion of the implementation of this type of public spaces is always added value (Wbur, 2017). 10 Other urban planners define POPS as one type of publicly accessible space which itself encompasses a wide range of sites, and it can be created under the original agreement with the local city government (Németh, 2009: 2464; Huang, Franck, 2022: 2) or as private spaces but open to users (Grobelšek, 2012: 113). Silke Nissen offers his criticism and defines POPS, from the social point of view, as public space created as a result of the laws of the areas where sometimes public spaces either change their character or are replaced by private spaces, where accessibility and usability are privately controlled (Nissen, 2008(Nissen, : 1132.…”

Urban Planning Criteria for Defining Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS)

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research is based on the systematic literature review related to the definition of Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS). POPS arise as a bonus of the urban planning concession resulting from negotiations between private investors and city administration. The question arises whether, during their formation, the urbanistic criteria that ensure public space quality are sufficiently represented, or the superior private interest results in critical urban quality aspects. By comparatively analyzing the definitions’ key features, nine specific POPS aspects have been identified and classified into two categories according to basic criteria: impact on investors and on broader urban contexts. The results show that a group of spatial criteria (usage impact, user’s perception, connectivity, urbanity and socialization) have been neglected or ignored in defining POPS. Current definitions do not consider the importance of POPS influence in a wider urban context and POPS is not, in any way, controlled or connected to the comprehensive process of urban planning, which can lead to a neglect of the fundamental roles and quality of public space. Further studies should focus on analyzing the impact of POPS in a broader urban context as well as defining mandatory urban planning criteria for insuring the quality of public space.
