“…Today, people play, picnic and practice sports in the meadows. UGSs have continued to serve as recreational spaces that promote wellbeing, even if this was not explicitly the dominant ideology (Jennings et al, 2012;Jänicke et al, 2015;Kallio et al, 2016;Besir and Cuce, 2018;Antón et al, 2022).…”

“…The tendency towards private living measures, jobs in isolated offices and the increasing fame of coaches as the main means of conveyance contribute to this segregation. Phenomena such as high traffic load, noise, deprived air quality, the temperature rises, and violence are more public in cities than in rural areas (Jennings et al, 2012;Kallio et al, 2016;Besir and Cuce, 2018;Antón et al, 2022;Rehman and Holy, 2022). On the other hand, cities deal with many buildings that brand life easier than life in the countryside-the reason of cities expansion.…”

In the era of modernization, urban green spaces (UGSs) are attracting increasing attention in smart city (SC) development. There is currently a paucity of UGSs, and their importance has become crucial in enhancing life expectancy and health. To meet people’s demands, scientists are busy designing smart cities under flagship programs for urban transformation. UGSs are relevant in the analysis and investigation of improved lifestyles. The scarcity of UGSs can have many social and physical impacts. The presence of UGSs in smart cities is proposed to improve residents’ lifestyles. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents, officials and government experts to inform the development of UGSs further. The result of the surveys analyzed using the MAXQDA software, which presents the importance of SC and the residents’ satisfaction. The results show an urgent requirement for larger UGSs to enhance the security and economic opportunities within urban environments. The deployment of USGs is particularly relevant to fully enhancing residents’ lifestyles and health. The present research aligned with the World Health Organization (WHO) standards to identify the scope of UGS initiatives in different parts of the city of Graz, Austria, and recommendations for improving the quality of future UGS planning is provided. The proposed research results conclude that UGS is a valid alternative to enhance air quality, with measurable and substantial air pollution changes even in space-constrained sites.

Publicly available green spaces are great places for people to relax. Currently, the deficiency of such spaces is decreasing daily, especially in urban regions. Urban green spaces (UGSs) have become a topic of great importance in enhancing life expectancy and health. To overcome these issues, the current research highlights the importance of UGSs for the residents’ living quality and urban health. UGSs are relevant for analyzing and investigating better urban lifestyles and development. To perform the experimental work, a green laboratory (GL) in a smart city (SC) area was involved in the investigation. The GL was made of wood, and different types of green infrastructure were analyzed. The research investigation resulted in upgrading the locality. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to enhance the quality of the research. Interviews with residents, occupants of offices, and government experts were conducted. Special survey questions, i.e., quantitative and qualitative, were developed while considering the current demands of the residents. A total of 500 responses were recorded, and by using the MAXQDA software, an analysis was carried out. The results showed that there was a dire requirement for UGSs in terms of size and quantity because of security and opportunities. The proposed research results will provide an opportunity for open spaces to be created in this local district. To fully improve residents’ living style and health, the necessity of deploying UGSs became more apparent. Finally, it became clear that green spaces are necessary to improve the country’s economy.

“…Using panel data for the years 1962−1997, Lee (2005) finds that OECD countries with a higher inflow of immigrants experienced a higher decline in union density. While immigration may also affect the unionization of natives (Antón et al., 2022), an obvious reason for this finding is a lower unionization among immigrants. Gorodzeisky and Richards (2013) and Kranendonk and de Beer (2016) use employee data from European countries to show that immigrants indeed have a lower likelihood of union membership than natives.…”

Immigrants and trade union membership: Does integration into society and workplace play a moderating role?

We hypothesize that incomplete integration into the workplace and society implies that immigrants are less likely to be union members than natives. Incomplete integration makes the usual mechanism for overcoming the collective action problem less effective. Our empirical analysis with data from the Socio‐Economic Panel confirms a unionization gap for first‐generation immigrants in Germany. Importantly, using the presence of a works council as an indicator of workplace integration and contacts with Germans as an indicator of integration into society, the analysis shows that the immigrant‐native gap in union membership is heterogeneous. The gap is smaller for immigrants working in firms with a works council and having social contacts with Germans. Our analysis also confirms that the gap is decreasing in the years since arrival in Germany.
