Stories of soil and sea
Large-scale removal and storage of atmospheric CO 2 in land and ocean sinks is essential to meet Paris Agreement temperature goals, yet empirical evidence on how novel carbon dioxide removal (CDR) should be deployed responsibly remains limited. Using Australia as a case study, we provide one of the first empirical comparisons of stakeholder expectations for the responsible deployment of marine- and land-based CDR, comparing ocean alkalinity enhan…
Australian public opinions of responsible innovation
Public perceptions of responsible innovation
Today, boundaries between innovation, science, and technology have loosened, with innovation often driving technology built upon scientific discovery. This combination has brought us the internet, electric vehicles, and space exploration. But it has not all been good. The economization of innovation has contributed to social inequity, progressed autonomous weaponry, and put the ecological health of our planet at risk. For these reasons, the quest…
The Role of Neighbourhood Social and Built Environments – Including Third Places – in Older Adults’ Social Interactions
Neighbourhood environments shape older adults’ social interactions. This research conceptualises a comprehensive set of perceived and objective measures of neighbourhood social and built environments, including third places, with older adults’ social interactions. In Melbourne, based on the person-environment fit framework, mediation analyses showed that the perceived social environment measures of community spirit, participation in community gro…
Responsible innovation for disruptive science and technology
As the world increasingly faces intersecting and complex environmental, social, and economic challenges, there are rising demands on emerging science and technology to produce innovative and potentially disruptive solutions. However, these solutions may also introduce different problems, uncertainties, and risks. Responsible innovation (RI) offers a way to identify and mitigate the social and ethical risks associated with new science and technolo…
How environmental values influence trust and beliefs about societal oversight and need for regulation of the Australian cattle industry
Livestock grazing covers half of Australia and vast areas of global terrestrial ecosystems. The sustainability of the beef cattle industries are being scrutinised amid ongoing environmental concerns. In response, industry discourse has identified public trust as critical to avoiding reactive environmental regulation. However, public perceptions of the cattle industry’s sustainability performance and trust are largely unknown and speculative. We p…

Perceptions of community responses to the unconventional gas industry
Climate Change Beliefs Count
Climate change is a political as well as an environmental issue. Climate change beliefs are commonly associated with voting behaviour, but are they associated with swings in voting behaviour? The latter are arguably more important for election outcomes. This paper investigates the predictive power of these beliefs on voting swings at the 2010 Australian federal election after controlling for a range of other related factors (demographic character…
Developing a Model of Community Wellbeing and Resilience in Response to Change
A conceptual framework for investigating community wellbeing and resilience
This article presents the conceptual basis for empirically testing the relationship between community wellbeing and resilience. Previous research has argued that rural communities facing rapid economic, social and environmental change need to be resilient to maintain or enhance their community wellbeing. However, it is often not clear what is meant by community wellbeing or resilience, and how they differ. Both concepts are often imprecise and se…
A Conceptual Framework for Investigating Community Wellbeing and Resilience
Early Gentrification and the Public Realm
West End is an inner-city neighbourhood in Brisbane, Australia, about to experience profound change. In the next two decades the population of West End is planned to increase fourfold as the result of local and state government urban consolidation policies, with little planning for services and amenity to cater for this increase. Interviews with 50 residents of West End are used to describe the nature and qualities of a strong existing public rea…
Satisfied Residents in Different Types of Local Areas
Impacts of Urban Consolidation on Urban Liveability
Urban consolidation involving increasing densification around existing nodes of urban infrastructure is a strategy pursued by all levels of government for addressing rapid population growth in urban regions. This has both positive and negative impacts on the everyday lives of residents (or their urban liveability as perceived by them), even though urban consolidation is commonly resisted by residents. This paper aims to better understand impacts …
Reducing work-to-life interference in the public service
Research suggests an association between participative management and lower work-to-life interference. We extend these findings to the public sector and examine possible pathways which link them, hypothesizing that participative management reduces work-to-life interference through its impact on other work attributes. Using a survey of public sector employees in Queensland, Australia and structural equation modelling, the results show that partici…
Explaining Sociospatial Patterns in South East Queensland, Australia
Model simulations of residential segregation have shown that even modest levels of social homophily (or wishing to live near residents with similar social characteristics) gives rise to distinct spatial patterns of residential segregation. However, this proposition has been contested where social homophily is modest. This paper contrasts two explanations for urban sociospatial patterns (socioeconomic and demographic spatial patterns) in a region …
Quality of Life and Social Inclusion
The concepts of quality of life, anomie or marginalisation and social capital are introduced in the context of the impact of the post-modernising forces of globalisation, urbanisation, and mass migration on societal structures. Empirical relationships between the three concepts were explored using data derived from a study undertaken in south east Queensland, Australia in 2003. On the basis of descriptive statistics and a path analysis using LISR…
What is the Strength of the Link Between Objective and Subjective Indicators of Urban Quality of Life?
Spatially Disaggregated Modelling of Voting Outcomes and Socio-Economic Characteristics at the 2001 Australian Federal Election
This study uses GIS and spatial modelling to relate voting outcomes at the 2001 federal election for polling booths across Australia with the socio-economic characteristics of polling booth catchment areas. The data and analysis used are more detailed and comprehensive than previous studies. It is conducted at a fine level of spatial disaggregation across the whole nation to examine voting outcomes for both major and minor political parties. Beca…
Fear of crime in Brisbane
Numerous theories apply to fear of crime and each are associated with different kinds of variables. Most studies use only one theory, though this study examines the relative importance of different kinds of variables across a number of theories. The study uses data from a survey of residents in Brisbane, Australia to examine the relative importance of individual attributes, neighbourhood disorder, social processes and neighbourhood structure in p…
Testing a Moderated Model of Satisfaction with Urban Living using Data for Brisbane-South East Queensland, Australia
A Push - Pull Framework for Modelling the Relocation of Retirees to a Retirement Village
Although most older people prefer to age in place, nonetheless many do relocate, with a small proportion moving to retirement villages, which provide a purpose designed and built residential and lifestyle environment. Using factor analyses, path analyses, and a push - pull framework, the authors model the decision process of retirees in Australia in order to identify relationships between push - pull factors and predictor variables, using data fr…
