Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Emerging areas in safety can be informed by the human aspects and are the central focus of this special issue. Fundamentals of perception, human factors and ergonomics will be highlighted in the context of safety, environment and health. Corporate and commercial applications in safety, environment and health incorporate a variety of physical, life and management sciences. Human modelling associated with measures of people (anthropometry), human characteristics in computing and artificial intelligence (anthropomorphic) and our real and perceived effects on environment (anthropogenic) are of interest. New method or previously established methodologies from other disciplines can be reported. Assessment methodologies can include those that influence decision making and strategic interests or initiatives at company level or more globally. Data mining methods including content analysis and bibliometric analysis can also give insight. Understanding derived from such analyses can influence future research directions. Perception of the magnitude of risk in term of severity and frequency can influence a willingness to invest in certain aspects of safety design. Manuscript emphasizing aspects outlined here are welcomed and encouraged. Others will also be considered if within the perception – based safety theme.

Please notify guest editor with questions or plan to submit manuscript with tentative title included.

The expected schedule for special issue is outlined below:

Original manuscript submission by: Monday, December 31
First reviews returned to authors: Friday, February 1
First revisions expected by: Friday, April 5

The study of coopetition has been evolving with rapid growth in the number of academic publications in this field. A number of literature reviews have been published focusing on nature, antecedents of coopetition and future perspectives of its implementation. Coopetition is proved to be beneficial for joint investments and Research and development (R&D) projects, and yet competitive games take place in the global markets that may lead to safety hazards. There are few studies that investigate possible perspectives of coopetition strategy for solutions in safety and security, and therefore considering the global tendencies objective, necessity arises for a more detailed study of it. The analysis begins by identifying over 600 published studies where the terms “coopetition”, “safety”, “security” were used. Using rigorous bibliometric tools, established and emergent research clusters were identified, as well as the most influential studies, the most contributing authors and topical areas for further investigations. The systematic combination of quantitative and qualitative analytical tools helps to identify the potential directions for future research. By combining bibliometric analysis and content analysis, the main perspective areas for coopetition implementation towards safety and security were identified. Full article

Food safety is one of the residents’ initial demands in daily life, and the negative perception of food safety potentially leads to public panic and dissatisfaction with government performance. Existing literature only focused on certain regions in China by using different indicators, and their results varied and lacked comparability. This paper explores influencing factors of the public’s satisfaction with food safety by conducting a nationwide survey in China. Factors cover several demographic variables while considering the nature of governments to reveal the difference among provinces. The results show that demographic factors such as gender, age, type of residence, education, and census register are positively correlated with food safety satisfaction, while annual income is not significant. Evaluation of government regulation efforts has a positive correlation with food safety satisfaction. People with higher trust in the government show higher satisfaction with the food safety situation. On the province level, per capita GDP, per capita food safety fiscal expenditure, and food safety fiscal expenditure level are positively correlated with food safety satisfaction. The empirical findings are helpful for government regulations; we thereby discuss our analytical results and suggest some governmental policies. Full article
