This study examines the correlations between urban environmental satisfaction, neighborhood relations, and livability. Previous studies on livability have insufficiently dealt with urban environments and neighborhood relations and have failed to cond...
Public spaces play a significant role in improving social, recreational and cultural activities that are inclusive. However, smart public spaces are required to save time and costs, and to provide comfort to the public, ultimately enhancing livabilit...
Urban tourism has been instrumental in the global economic revival, particularly following the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. However, tourism is not neutral with respect to local quality of life, and little attention is given to the speci...
Walkability is a vital component that can significantly enhance the livability of public spaces. By prioritizing walkable environments, cities can develop vibrant areas that promote social interaction, cultural engagement, and community cohesion. The...
The mismatch between urban livability and population distribution can result in overcrowding and excessive pressure on ecosystem services if population growth surpasses urban capacity. Conversely, if urban expansion outpaces population needs, it can...
The evaluation of community livability quantifies the demands of human settlement at the micro scale, supporting urban governance decision-making at the macro scale. Big data generated by the urban management of government agencies can provide an acc...
The livability environment is an important aspect of urban sustainable development. The floating population refers to people without local hukou (also called ‘non-hukou migrants’). The floating population distribution is influenced by liv...

This paper proposes the “citizen-ecology-city” evaluation framework for urban ecological livability theoretically and studies the ecological livability of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) empirically. In addition, we a...
Rural livability is the essence of people’s well-being and rural revitalization, in which social networks in daily life play important roles. However, the role of social interactions has long been ignored. This study aims to develop an index sy...
Nowadays, quality of life and livability are controversial phenomenon. A high quality of life and livability are demanded in cities; however, rapid and unplanned urbanization creates a lot of challenges such as poverty, slums, social instability, ins...
The application of livelihood resilience theory in mining-under village relocation areas, coupled with the assessment of the coupling coordination degree between farming household livelihood resilience and ecological livability, is crucial for advanc...
Livability is the ultimate goal of city development. However, the question of whether the changing pattern of a city’s livability follows a certain rule or not has seldom been argued. To address the question, three cities, including New York, Tokyo,...
The resettlement of residents within the construction area of large projects is an important task related to people’s welfare. Livability is often used as an evaluation indicator when selecting resettlement areas. According to the results of th...
In Korea, rural regions increasingly function as peri-urban zones integrated into urban systems. To assess vulnerabilities in these transitional areas characterized by mixed land use and uneven access to infrastructure, this study developed a three-t...
Index spaces serve as valuable metric models for studying properties relevant to various applications, such as social science or economics. These properties are represented by real Lipschitz functions that describe the degree of association with each...
Urban livability is becoming an increasingly significant concept in the field of urban planning and design, especially in rapidly urbanizing mid-sized cities of the Global South, where unplanned growth raises concerns about the living condition of ci...
