“…In the realm of public sports services, it is also proposed to defend the fundamental sports rights of farmers and to investigate the possibility of equalizing the provision of public sports services in urban and rural areas. Although this equalization is done through a vast number of financial subsidies and tax incentives, as well as other economic ways to obtain fair results, the government's operation incurs significant economic expenses as a result of this equalization [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Starting from the goal of overall equalization of basic public services by 2035 as proposed in the report of the 19th Party Congress, firstly the research history of the equalization of public sports services in China is analyzed in stages, and a solid theoretical foundation is laid for the construction of the evaluation index system. Secondly, the performance evaluation system of urban public sports services, which is based on KANO model, is constructed by combining the current development status of public sports services in China. Additionally, fuzzy KANO model is used to analyze and categorize the collected indicators and establish a user-oriented evaluation index system. Finally, an empirical study was conducted on a region using the evaluation system, and the results showed that the degree of equalization of public sports services in the region was achieved to a high degree and was basically close to reaching the target requirement of equalization.

“…However, the narrowing effect for medication use has not improved the effect of social engagement on such behavior among rural residents, but decreased more in urban areas. Thus, while the household registration system is less rigid, gap remain in the access to public healthcare services (28,30).…”

“…Such rural "left-behind" parents have to care for their grandchildren, which reduces their engagement in social activities. Even those who move to urban areas with their adult children have difficulty accessing healthcare resources (29)(30)(31). This because the elimination of hukou system alone has not addressed inequities in access to social services between rural and urban populations (32), despite significant reforms to the system to allow rural migrants easier access to welfare programs in cities (31).…”

BackgroundThis study examines the effect of social engagement on urban–rural disparities in self-management behaviors (medication use, self-monitoring, physical activity, and tobacco and alcohol avoidance) among middle-aged and older Chinese patients with hypertension.MethodsData from 2011 to 2018 were extracted from the four latest waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Chi-square tests and t-tests were performed to examine urban–rural gaps in self-management behaviors. Random-effects panel logit regression models were adopted to confirm the effect of social engagement on urban–rural disparity in self-management behaviors and to explore whether this effect has narrowed or widened with “bilateral flow” between urban and rural residents. A Fairlie decomposition technique was also used to calculate the extent to which social engagement reflects urban–rural disparities.ResultsThere was significant urban–rural disparity in medication use and tobacco avoidance behaviors among the sampled patients. Medication use behavior (p < 0.001) among urban middle-aged and older patients was significantly better, whereas tobacco avoidance behavior (p < 0.05) was significantly lower compared with the rural population. Social engagement significantly enlarged the urban–rural gap in tobacco avoidance behavior (p < 0.01), but significantly narrowed the urban–rural gap in medication use behavior (p < 0.001). The Fairlie decomposition revealed that ~75.000% and 29.412% of the explained urban–rural gap in tobacco avoidance and medication use, respectively, could be attributed to social engagement. The negative effect of social engagement on urban–rural disparity in medication use increased when urban residents moved to rural areas (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe urban–rural disparities in self-management behaviors of middle-aged and older Chinese hypertensive patients were mainly manifested in medication use and tobacco avoidance behaviors. The gaps in these two behaviors partly changed with social engagement, while the migration of urban population to rural areas weakens the positive role of social engagement in narrowing the urban–rural gap in medication use behavior. The insights of this paper on social engagement and urban–rural disparity in self-management behaviors, and the effect of urban–rural migration thereof, deserve the attention of health policymakers and researchers.

“…Culture and sports facilities "Cultural and sports facilities" are essential for the spiritual well-being of the population and for guaranteeing national identity, social cohesion, and communal pride (Kagan et al, 2017;Schulenkorf, 2012). Furthermore, it has been noted that a healthy lifestyle and quality of life are strongly associated with accessible sports services (Guo et al, 2018). Sports services have been serving as a significant factor for improving the health and well-being of the population (Chen, Hui, et al, 2016).…”

“…Providing medical institutions to more people can contribute to meaningful reductions in health disparities, which are related to social equity (S. R. Singh, 2014). The investment of PPPs in cultural facilities and sports facilities should be key factors in meeting the spiritual and health needs of local residents, which are closely related to improving the living environment (Chen, Hui, Lang, & Tao, 2016;Guo et al, 2018;Kagan et al, 2017;Schulenkorf, 2012).…”

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly adopted in China. Sustainability of PPPs has become a priority for a sustainable development of PPPs. Most prior studies focus on sustainable implementation of PPP projects. Few research efforts have been done to examine the impacts of PPPs to sustainability from an external perspective and a more macro geographical scale. Meanwhile, the social aspect of the sustainability of PPPs has not been widely studied. Therefore, this study aims to propose a social sustainability contribution evaluation system (SSCES) for PPPs to evaluate PPPs' contribution to regional social sustainability at the institutional level. An indicator system of the SSCES for PPPs was developed, which included 8 requirements for socially sustainable development and 33 social sustainability indicators. The weights of indicators were determined by using the analytic hierarchy process method. The results indicate that, in the context of China, promoting peopleoriented urbanization in PPPs can help enhance regional social sustainability. This study provides a useful evaluation tool for various stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability of PPPs from an institutional level, especially for local governments to review current PPP polices and make improvements.
