“…Playgrounds, fun cities, restaurants, buffets, hotels, motels, and beach cabinets are all located along the corniche, ready to welcome guests from Jeddah [112]. The ancient seaport and coastal promenade of Jeddah have long been essential components of the city's urban fabric and cultural identity [113]. It is regarded as the nation's economic and tourism hub [102].…”

Due to increasing concern about plastic waste and its impact on the ecosystem, it is vital to understand tourists’ behavioral intentions about plastic waste reduction on beaches. There have been several studies that have used the theory of planned behavior to investigate pro-environmental behaviors or intentions, but there are few specific research studies that have extended the theory of planned behavior by adding awareness of consequences to explain the power of behavioral intention. Accordingly, this paper aimed to investigate how awareness of consequences, subjective norms, attitudes, and behavioral control dimensions influence plastic waste behavioral intention on Jeddah’s beaches, in Saudi Arabia. This was performed on a random sample of 390 local tourists in Jeddah city from June to August 2023. A total of 340 of them agreed and answered the questionnaire, yielding a percentage response rate of 87%. This produced 271 valid questionnaires for data analysis after closely examining the survey. A self-complete questionnaire was used for data collection in using multiple statistical analyses to examine the hypotheses. The results demonstrated a positive influence of subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and consequence awareness on environmental behavioral intention. On the other hand, attitude did not significantly contribute to predict environmental behavioral intention. This study’s findings made clear how crucial it is to consider any potential negative effects while making plans to cut down on plastic trash. Educating people about the possible harm that using plastic products on beaches is anticipated to cause to the environment might also be beneficial. It is intended that, through understanding behavior and behavior determinants, governmental bodies, pro-environmental organizations, businesses, and communities will be able to implement appropriate strategies to reduce the use of plastic in Saudi Arabia to protect marine life.

“…As the global urbanization process intensified, scholars began to re-examine urban quality, and the multifarious challenges of urban environmental load and ecological pressure induced by economic development came to the fore [8,9]. The meaning of urban quality has increasingly moved from a single element to a multidimensional and interconnected system, with economic, service, cultural, and ecological components all playing major roles in determining urban quality [10][11][12]. Many academics have investigated the mutual influence and link between technology innovation and urban quality as the most active element in regional activities [13,14].…”

The coordinated development of urban quality and technology innovation is an important element of China’s technology innovation development strategy in the new era. Based on entropy TOPSIS, coupling coordination models, the gravity center and standard deviation ellipse method, the geographic probe, the GWR, and other methods, we explore the spatial variation and influencing factors of the coupling coordination relationship between urban quality and technology innovation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area from 2011 to 2020. It is found that: (1) the spatial distribution of the coupling coordination shows a characteristic of "high in the middle and low in the surroundings," and (2) the level of benign interaction in the central region is becoming more prominent. The center of gravity of coupling coordination moves toward the northeast, and the standard deviation ellipse shows a contraction trend away from the southwest. (3) Agglomeration capacity, human capital, cultural development, and infrastructure can significantly drive the improvement of the coupling coordination of urban quality and technology innovation, and the two-factor influence is significantly increased after the interaction. (4) The feedback effects of the coupling and coordination states of different cities on each factor have significant spatial differences and show the characteristics of hierarchical band distribution.

“…Some public spaces in Jeddah have attractive designs and features, such as Al-Rahma Mosque Square and King Fahd's Fountain Park. These public spaces have open spaces, water features, and shaded seating areas, which attract people and contribute to their social and cultural activities (Badawi and Farag, 2023). In contrast, other public spaces in Jeddah suffer from physical constraints, such as limited space, lack of vegetation, and inadequate seating areas.…”

Aquest estudi avalua la qualitat dels espais públics a Jeddah, Aràbia Saudita, utilitzant l’Índex d’Espais Públics i proporciona recomanacions per millorar-ne l’habitabilitat. Els espais públics són crucials per a les activitats socials, culturals i econòmiques a les ciutats, i tenen un impacte en l’habitabilitat i la sostenibilitat urbana. Com la segona ciutat més gran d’Aràbia Saudita, els espais públics de Jeddah són vitals per a la seva habitabilitat. S’utilitza l’Índex d’Espais Públics com a eina d’avaluació a causa de la validesa i la confiança en l’avaluació de la qualitat dels espais públics. Es discuteixen els factors físics, socials i ambientals que afecten la qualitat dels espais públics, així com els desafiaments relacionats amb l’accessibilitat, la seguretat i la diversitat. Es descriu l’àrea d’estudi, el procés de selecció de la mostra i els mètodes de recol·lecció de dades utilitzant visites al lloc i enquestes per recopilar dades rellevants. Les troballes van revelar diferents graus de qualitat dels espais públics a Jeddah, amb alguns espais que compleixen estàndards internacionals i altres que no. Es proporcionen recomanacions per millorar l’accessibilitat, la seguretat i la diversitat, millorar el manteniment i incorporar més espais verds i serveis públics per millorar la qualitat dels espais públics a Jeddah. L’estudi destaca la importància dels espais públics per a la sostenibilitat urbana i ofereix idees valuoses per millorar l’habitabilitat de Jeddah. This study evaluates the quality of public spaces in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using the Public Space Index and provides recommendations for enhancing their livability. Public spaces are crucial for social, cultural, and economic activities in cities, impacting urban livability and sustainability. As the second-largest city in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah's public spaces are vital for its livability. The Public Space Index is used as the evaluation tool, given its validity and reliability in assessing public space quality. Physical, social, and environmental factors affecting public space quality, as well as accessibility, safety, and diversity-related challenges, are discussed. The study area, sample selection process, and data collection methods are described, with site visits and surveys used to collect relevant data. The findings revealed varying degrees of public space quality in Jeddah, with some spaces meeting international standards while others falling short. Recommendations for enhancing accessibility, safety, and diversity, improving maintenance, and incorporating more green spaces and public amenities are provided to improve the quality of public spaces in Jeddah. The study highlights the importance of public spaces for urban sustainability and offers valuable insights into improving the livability of Jeddah.
