“…Such knowledge is necessary to match the goals of care services to their expectations. An analysis of the life satisfaction indicator (LS) indicates that the debt of older people in Europe is significantly and positively related to low LS levels [62]. The opposite is true for the incomes of people aged 65 and over.…”

One of the main demographic problems is the ageing of populations, especially in European countries. However, this process is not taking place equally in all countries and has a different impact on their socio-economic development. The aim of this research is to assess and compare the well-being-related living conditions of elderly people in European Union countries. We carried out the analysis for the years 2015 and 2020 on the basis of Eurostat data. We assessed the well-being-related living conditions of older people by applying the multidimensional scaling technique. On its basis, we constructed rankings of the EU countries in the two analysed years. In addition, by using the k-means method, we clustered the countries. The disparity between the well-being-related living conditions of elderly people in Western European countries and the post-communist ones has not declined. Six of the nine analysed indicators improved over the five years between 2015 and 2020, while three (the proportion of elderly people at risk of poverty, the disparity between the incomes of the richest and poorest groups of elderly people, and the proportion of elderly people in the total population) worsened. Socio-economic policies should therefore address these indicators to the greatest extent possible.

“…The China Ecological Environment Status Bulletin released by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in 2022 shows that 126 of the country's 338 cities above prefecture level still have air quality exceeding the standard. These pollutants can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, resulting in disorders in residents' self-regulatory functions and a decline in immunity, bringing health risks, illness and even death to residents [3][4][5][6]. The 2010 Global Burden of Disease study showed that air pollution is the fourth largest health risk factor for Chinese people [7].…”

In order to reduce the health damage caused by ecological environment pollution and alleviate the burden of residents' health expenditure, it is of great significance to study the impact of ecological environment quality on residents' health expenditure. In this study, we use the Ecological Environment Index (EI) in China from 2009-2019 and the SYS-GMM model. The conclusions are as follows:(1) The decline of ecological environment quality significantly increased residents' health expenditures.(2) The ecological environment mainly affects the residents' health expenditure through the health effect and driving effect. (3) Compared with economically developed regions and lower environmental emphasis, residents in economically undeveloped regions and high environmental emphasis are more sensitive to health expenditures. (4) Through a series of robustness test and use thermal inversion as an instrumental variable for endogeneity analysis, the regression results remain robust. Therefore, this study provides important evidence for further improving the ecological environment and reducing the residents' health expenditures.

The fragmented remodeling of historic districts undermines the spirit of place. Understanding the intricate relationship between the neighborhood environment and the spirit of place is essential for sustainable urban development. Current research predominantly relies on case studies and the concept of place, which are subjective and lack specific analysis of how the neighborhood environment shapes the spirit of place. In this study, we examine Chuancheng Street in Handan City as a case study. Utilizing the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model and multi-source data, combined with SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) and Partial Dependence Plots (PDP), we analyze the non-linear and synergistic effects of the street environment on the spirit of place in historic districts. The findings reveal that (1) the proportion of enduring sociability (PES) on the street significantly shapes the spirit of place, with cultural space elements being less prioritized in perception; (2) PES, green vision index (GVI), Integration_800 m, and mixed land use (MLU) have pronounced non-linear impacts on the spirit of place, with strong threshold effects, and these factors also demonstrate a synergistic effect; (3) There are notable spatial variations in the spirit of place across different blocks, particularly influenced by the authenticity of cultural heritage. This study provides fundamental insights into the spirit of place in historic neighborhoods, enabling a better understanding of complex urban dynamics and informing future street regeneration from a place perspective.
