ClearThe Non-Linear Impact of Green Space Recreational Service Performance on Residents’ Emotional States in High-Density Cities
Researchers assessed green space recreational service performance in high-density Chinese cities and modeled its non-linear relationship with residents' emotional well-being. They found that moderate green space quality and accessibility had the strongest positive effects on emotional health, with diminishing returns at very high provision levels, informing urban park planning priorities.
Takeaway food consumption and depressive symptoms in Chinese university students: mediating effects of physical activity
A study of Chinese university students found that frequent takeaway food consumption was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. The research also suggests that physical activity may help counteract these negative mood effects, pointing to lifestyle interventions that could support student mental health.
Increasing urban health awareness using an interactive approach: evidence from a school-based study
Researchers conducted a school-based study to evaluate an interactive approach for increasing urban health awareness among students, with a focus on the health consequences of climate change and urbanization. The study found evidence that participatory school interventions can improve health literacy and adaptive capacity among urban youth, supporting WHO recommendations for health-promoting schools.
The effect of demographic factors on environmental knowledge among university students
Researchers surveyed 1,345 university students across 15 institutions in Indonesia to investigate how demographic factors such as gender, major, and geographic background influence environmental knowledge levels. The study found that demographic variables significantly shaped students' understanding of environmental issues, with implications for designing targeted environmental education programs in Indonesian higher education.
Trait emotional intelligence and ecological outcomes: the role of connectedness to nature
Researchers found that people with higher emotional intelligence show stronger connections to nature, which in turn promotes more environmentally responsible behaviors. The study suggests that environmental education programs targeting emotional intelligence could be effective at encouraging ecological action.
Self-rated health and perceived environmental quality in Brunei Darussalam: a cross-sectional study
Researchers found in a cross-sectional study in Brunei Darussalam that perceived environmental quality is associated with self-rated health, but that regular physical exercise may partially offset the negative health effects of poor environmental conditions.
Sustainability in K-12 education: how can schools support students to address challenges of environmental sustainability?
This action research study examines how K-12 schools can promote environmental sustainability, finding that successful programs combine student education, school-wide practices, and community engagement to reduce environmental impact.
Investigating and Comparing Environmental Knowledge and Sustainable Behavior Among U.S. and Taiwanese Students
Researchers compared environmental knowledge and sustainable behavior between U.S. and Taiwanese university students, finding differences attributable to contrasting geographic contexts -- Taiwan as an island state versus the continental U.S. -- and suggesting recommendations for promoting sustainability education in both settings. The study highlights how geography and cultural context shape environmental attitudes and actions among young adults.
The impact of public environmental concerns on port sustainability: evidence from 44 port cities in China
Researchers analyzed data from 44 coastal port cities in China between 2010 and 2021 to examine how public environmental concern affects port sustainability. They found that public environmental concern significantly improves port sustainability, primarily by increasing local government environmental investments, with digital infrastructure amplifying this positive effect.
Strategies for Enhancing the Practical and Innovative Abilities of Environmental Major Students
Researchers examined how industry-university-research-application platforms, innovation training programs, and subject competitions contribute to practical and innovative ability development among environmental science students at Zhaoqing University, finding these mechanisms effective at fostering self-directed skill cultivation.
Revealing youth-perceived cultural ecosystem services for high-density urban green space management: a deep learning spatial analysis of social media photographs from central Beijing
Researchers used AI-analyzed social media photos from young people in Beijing to map which types of urban green spaces they valued most, finding that social recreation was the top benefit, followed by nature appreciation. The study shows how crowdsourced imagery and deep learning can help city planners understand where green spaces best support youth mental health in densely built environments.
Exploring the spatiotemporal effects of urban scale and urban vitality on S&D balance in the Yangtze River Delta, China from 2015 to 2025
Researchers analyzed how city growth and economic activity affect the balance between what ecosystems provide (like clean water and clean air) and what people demand in China's Yangtze River Delta, finding that larger urban areas strain this balance while targeted development strategies can help certain regions maintain healthier ecosystems.

Evaluation of the Spatiotemporal Change of Ecological Quality under the Context of Urban Expansion—A Case Study of Typical Urban Agglomerations in China
Researchers tracked changes in ecological quality across three major urban areas in China over two decades of rapid urbanization. They found that urban expansion significantly reduced ecological quality in surrounding areas, with the most severe impacts occurring in newly developed zones. The study provides a framework for monitoring how urbanization affects local ecosystems using remote sensing data.
Development of a Classification Model for Physiological Parameters in Relation to Ecological Aspects Based on Cohort Data
Researchers developed a classification model linking physiological parameters to ecological and environmental factors using cohort data, aiming to understand how environmental variables, socioeconomic conditions, and demographic parameters influence human health outcomes in the context of ecosystem modelling.
Discipline and distinction in the age of the Internet: a sociological study of the fitness practice
Researchers examined how internet platforms and consumer culture have transformed fitness practices in China, finding that digital technologies have created new forms of self-discipline and social display around physical exercise, blurring the line between public and private life.
Psychological Factors Affecting Young People’s Environmental Responsibility: Evidence from Public University Students
This study examined pro-environmental behavior levels and psychological factors -- including new media use, creative thinking, and environmental awareness -- among public university students, assessing how these factors influence young people's sense of environmental responsibility.
