Individual tree above-ground biomass estimation by integrating LiDAR and machine learning
Global warming represents a critical challenge globally, while tree carbon sequestration is essential for achieving carbon neutrality. The existing global allometric models face challenges in accurately modelling local trees’ biomass. To develop a localized allometric model using a small dataset, this study proposes an innovative framework for estimating tree above-ground biomass (AGB) that involves local tree felling data collection, Light Detec…

Academic discipline as a moderating variable between seating location and academic performance
Previous research on university students’ academic performance indicates that students’ seating locations can be an indicator of their academic performance. However, previous research on the relationship between university students’ seating locations and their academic performance is mixed, and there is a lack of research about whether students’ academic discipline moderates this relationship. This study addresses this gap in the literature throu…

Association between Global Air Pollution and Covid-19 Mortality
Ambient air pollution plays a significant role in an increased risk of incidence and mortality of COVID-19 on a global scale. This study aims to understand the multiscale spatial effect of global air pollution on COVID-19 mortality. Based on forty-six cities from six countries worldwide between 1 April 2020 and 31 December 2020, a Bayesian space-time hierarchical model was used based on the lag effects of seven, fourteen, and twenty-one days to q…
Covid-19 Infection and Mortality
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a public health problem at a global scale because of its high infection and mortality rate. It has affected most countries in the world, and the number of confirmed cases and death toll is still growing rapidly. Susceptibility studies have been conducted in specific countries, where COVID-19 infection and mortality rates were highly related to demographics and air pollution, especially PM2.5, bu…
Yearly and Daily Relationship Assessment between Air Pollution and Early-Stage Covid-19 Incidence
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused significantly changes in worldwide environmental and socioeconomics, especially in the early stage. Previous research has found that air pollution is potentially affected by these unprecedented changes and it affects COVID-19 infections. This study aims to explore the non-linear association between yearly and daily global air pollution and the confirmed cases of COVID-19. The concentrations…
Association between NO 2 concentrations and spatial configuration
The massive lockdown of global cities during the COVID-19 pandemic is substantially improving the atmospheric environment, which for the first time, urban mobility is virtually reduced to zero, and it is then possible to establish a baseline for air quality. By comparing these values with pre-COVID-19 data, it is possible to infer the likely effect of urban mobility and spatial configuration on the air quality. In the present study, a time-series…
Reopening International Borders without Quarantine
With the COVID-19 vaccination widely implemented in most countries, propelled by the need to revive the tourism economy, there is a growing prospect for relieving the social distancing regulation and reopening borders in tourism-oriented countries and regions. This need incentivizes stakeholders to develop border control strategies that fully evaluate health risks if mandatory quarantines are lifted. In this study, we have employed a computationa…
Assessing the Country-Level Excess All-Cause Mortality and the Impacts of Air Pollution and Human Activity during the Covid-19 Epidemic
The impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on cause-specific mortality has been investigated on a global scale. However, less is known about the excess all-cause mortality and air pollution-human activity responses. This study estimated the weekly excess all-cause mortality during COVID-19 and evaluated the impacts of air pollution and human activities on mortality variations during the 10th to 52nd weeks of 2020 among sixteen countries. A…

Spatially Analyzing the Inequity of the Hong Kong Urban Heat Island by Socio-Demographic Characteristics
Recent studies have suggested that some disadvantaged socio-demographic groups face serious environmental-related inequities in Hong Kong due to the rising ambient urban temperatures. Identifying heat-vulnerable groups and locating areas of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) inequities is thus important for prioritizing interventions to mitigate death/illness rates from heat. This study addresses this problem by integrating methods of remote sensin…
Overlay, Graphical
Overlay is the concept of placing one layer of information on top of another to analyze the spatial relationships of features. With the advancement of computer technology, numerous software platforms and computer programs have been developed to facilitate spatial analysis, including the function of overlay. Vector overlay methods involve point‐in‐polygon overlays, line‐in‐polygon overlays, and polygon‐polygon overlays. Raster overlays work on cel…

Influence of Urban Green Space and Facility Accessibility on Exercise and Healthy Diet in Hong Kong
Background A cross-sectional study using a convenience sampling method was conducted to understand how green space and accessibility of common public open spaces in compact urban areas affect physical activity and healthy diets of residents. Methods A total of 554 residents completed a structured questionnaire on quality of life, physical activity level and healthy eating practice. Particularly, categories of physical activity and durations were …
Spatiotemporal Prediction of Increasing Winter Perceived Temperature across a Sub-Tropical City for Sustainable Planning and Climate Change Mitigation
Climate variability has been documented as being key to influencing human wellbeing across cities as it is linked to mortality and illness due to changes in the perceived weather cycle. Many studies have investigated the impact of summer temperature on human health and have proposed mitigation strategies for summer heat waves. However, sub-tropical cities are still experiencing winter temperature variations. Increasing winter perceived temperatur…
Development of the Adjusted Wind Chill Equivalent Temperature (Awcet) for cold mortality assessment across a subtropical city
AWCET is validated to be effective to access cold mortality in the context of subtropical cities. The use of AWCET may enhance the cold weather warning system in subtropical cities, as a supplementary tool to help demonstrating small administrative-level perceived temperature with volunteered geographic information
Investigating the Relationship between the Built Environment and Relative Risk of Covid-19 in Hong Kong
Understanding the relationship between the built environment and the risk of COVID-19 transmission is essential to respond to the pandemic. This study explores the relationship between the built environment and COVID-19 risk using the confirmed cases data collected in Hong Kong. Using the information on the residential buildings and places visited for each case from the dataset, we assess the risk of COVID-19 and explore their geographic patterns…

Tree tilt monitoring in rural and urban landscapes of Hong Kong using smart sensing technology
Urban trees are beneficial to our environment and important to human inhabitants. However, they are exposed to natural and anthropogenic stressors, such as strong windstorms, extreme wind events and accidents; inducing tree falling which can cause personal damages, economic losses and infrastructural destructions. The current study is the first of its kind, presenting a tree monitoring system, and using smart sensing devices installed on more tha…
The Impact of the Environment on the Quality of Life and the Mediating Effects of Sleep and Stress
(1) Background : Environment is an independent factor that affects one's quality of life (QoL), where studies suggest that health behaviours also affect one's quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to examine the association between environmental conditions and QoL and how individual health behaviours affect this association. (2) Methods : Participants aged 20 or above were recruited from 11 tertiary planning units in the central p…
