“…Last but not least, this study directly used the classification and evaluation of quality levels to evaluate the attractiveness of tourist attractions. However, at present, some more relevant methods are emerging, which depict attractiveness according to different land area (Wang et al., 2022), classification (Li et al., 2021), location (Wu et al., 2022), mobility (Zhang et al., 2022), social media comments (Wan, 2023), etc. This may enable policymakers to obtain more accurate results that reflect the precise preferences of travelers when estimating multi‐modal accessibility.…”

In the post‐pandemic era, tourism has emerged as the most popular form of recreation in densely populated areas, driven by the pursuit of improved quality of life and the younger generation's growing enthusiasm for connecting with nature or history. Accurate measurement of the accessibility of tourist attractions has become crucial due to this trend. However, existing methods for measuring accessibility, such as the widely used two‐step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method, show limitations in multi‐modal transport networks as it overlooks multi‐modal travels and assumes uniform access for each transport mode within the catchment area. In this article, we present a novel multi‐modal network‐based two‐step floating catchment area (MMN‐2SFCA) method, which incorporates a super‐network to explicitly model the multi‐modal travels. The proposed method emphasizes the modeling of transfer behavior, resulting in a more comprehensive and accurate measurement of tourist attraction accessibility compared to the conventional 2SFCA method. The proposed method emphasizes the modeling of transfer behavior, travel mode choice, and travel demand estimation by multi‐source big data (including mobile phone signaling data, travel survey data, subway smart card data, and bike‐sharing data), resulting in a more comprehensive and accurate measurement of tourist attraction accessibility compared to the conventional 2SFCA method. The results of the case study in Suzhou (a famous tourism city in China) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MMN‐2SFCA method. The method can rectify the imbalance in accessibility distribution caused by considering only single‐modal trips, and avoid overestimation of accessibility by accounting for transfer behavior. This study contributes to advancing accessibility measurement for multi‐modal transport networks. Moreover, the MMN‐2SFCA method offers excellent extensibility, enabling authorities to optimize and coordinate multi‐modal transport networks for improving the accessibility of tourist attractions and other facilities.

“…In addition, a 30 min isochrone (1000 m at a speed of 2 km/h) was considered to overcome two factors: (1) the fact that the park perimeter is often occupied by nonresidential transitional facilities and (2) to implicitly Additionally, two further insights have been pursued: firstly, a comprehensive exploration of the 360 • route [23] as included in the MTM [22], analyzing its physical implementation and impact, and secondly, the computed impact of the MTM [22] accesses, evaluating the number of inhabitants within reach. This approach is solely quantitative and does not encompass economic and social aspects, such as the initiatives' impact on the local property market [39]. Specifically, the method refers to the intersection between the influence buffers originating from the accesses to the Montjuic hill proposed in the MTM [22], measured along the street network, and the population recorded in the blocks according to the January 2023 census data [40].…”

The 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include ensuring universal and safe access to green spaces. Some cities feature extensive green areas on hills or elevated terrains integrated into the urban landscape. In such cases where the benefits for users are highly pronounced (e.g., views, isolation, etc.), it is challenging and particularly complex to design strategies to ensure accessible and spatial routes due to multiple slopes and a challenging topography. In Barcelona, the iconic Montjuïc mountain has been the focal point of a trail masterplan aimed at rethinking its various access points and internal network of routes. Furthermore, the city has committed to implementing an initial project from this plan, the so-called 360° route. This study presents an in-depth analysis of the Montjuïc mountain case, encompassing both the plan and the 360° project in hilly urban parks. The analysis reveals the values and transferability of the set of strategies proposed in the plan, such as activating inherent location characteristics by connecting the surrounding urban fabric with elements of recreational potential within the underlying traces of heritage value. Additionally, a quantitative assessment of the impact of the proposed accesses on the population is presented. The study highlights the improvements in quality of life for the diverse users of this type of green infrastructure.

“…For example, there are studies that focus on the role of biodiversity and green spaces in cities (Ekkel and de Vries, 2017;Aram et al, 2019;Patiño, 2020;Anderson et al, 2022), service provisioning and infrastructure (Žlender and Ward Thompson, 2017;Duy et al, 2019;Miguez et al, 2019;Sharifi, 2022). Other studies focus on how social aspects (e.g., inequity) link to governance (Ziervogel and Taylor, 2008;Berke et al, 2019;Fraser, 2022;Wu et al, 2022). However, there is relatively little literature that takes a comprehensive view examining all three elements (human system, ecosystem and governance) together, and transformations that bridge the adaptation and mitigation divide are largely overlooked.…”

From social and natural vulnerability to human-centered climate resilient coastal cities

Anthropogenic climate change is increasingly affecting every city in the world, including through more intense weather and climate extremes. Climate impacts and risks are magnified in cities, which are home to more than half the world's population. Projections show one billion people will live in areas at risk of coastal hazards by 2050. Sea level rise jeopardizes cities to complicated wind, water, and coastal hazards. Potential impacts on wellbeing include damage to housing, transportation, and energy infrastructure as well as human health. Yet, attention thus far has focused on incremental adaptation responses, with a focus more on infrastructure and technology transitions in coastal cities. Comprehensive transformative actions that specifically incorporate behavioral, cultural and institutional options are largely neglected. In this perspective, we emphasize that immediate and massive effort and involvement from individuals to social entities across sectors, institutions, and systems is required for a transformation toward climate-resilient coastal cities. We conclude by emphasizing that dichotomies between ambitious adaptation and mitigation actions need to be bridged to enhance resilience to warming in coastal cities, and that this requires appropriate multi-level governance mechanisms to coordinate across agents and sectors.
