Social memory of Queensland floods: A perspective of 262 newspapers
The role of social memory in building community resilience against flood risk is increasingly recognized. However, the process of constructing social memory remains systemically unexamined. This study developed a structured approach with six core elements (6W) of social memory: participant (“Who”), theme (“What issue”), government initiative (“What strategies”), sentiment (“In what perspective”), time (“When”), and place (“Where”) to understand h…
Stakeholder knowledge in water governance: Insights from public submissions in the Murray-Darling Basin
Stakeholder knowledge plays a critical role in shaping engagement processes and influencing governance outcomes in natural resource management. However, systematic methods to assess such knowledge remain underdeveloped. This study introduces a two-dimensional framework that evaluates stakeholders’ knowledge systems in terms of thematic diversity, or the range of issues raised, and coherence, or the degree of conceptual linkage among those issues,…
Over 100 global climate sensitive rivers are experiencing large and severe changes in streamflow volume and timing
Only about one-third of global rivers (or tributaries) remain in a nearly natural condition, known as climate-sensitive rivers. We lack clear evidence on the changes in streamflow volume and timing of these rivers, which significantly compromises our capacity for protection. Here, we analyse alterations in streamflow and centre of timing at 1017 stream gauges across 812 climate-sensitive rivers and tributaries worldwide from 1950 to 2022. We obse…
Urban green space inequality and its socio-economic, geographical, and climate determinants in 11 528 cities
Inequality in the provision of urban green spaces (UGS) poses a growing obstacle to achieving sustainable development goals and building inclusive and resilient urban environments. However, the key drivers of UGS development and the extent to which their relative importance in different urban contexts remain unclear. This study provides a global analysis of the socio-economic, geographical, and climate determinants of UGS inequality across 11 528…
Integrating spatially disaggregated stakeholders' knowledge and opinions to enhance water governance in the Murray–Darling Basin
Effective river basin governance requires integrating diverse stakeholder knowledge and opinions to achieve sustainable environmental, economic and cultural outcomes. However, a measurable method for integrating these perspectives remains undeveloped. This study aims to assess the knowledge and opinions of spatially diverse stakeholders regarding the policy initiatives in the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) from 2009 to 2021, focusing on the catchment…
Systemic and explicit approaches to assessing the impact of natural and human drivers on the co-evolution of social-ecological systems in the Heihe River Basin, China
The increasing crossing of critical thresholds of global social-ecological systems (SES) calls for an explicit and systemic assessment of human impact on the ecosystem. This paper aims to integrate multi-disciplinary approaches for a systemic and quantitative representation and measurement of the co-evolution of SES and their responses to both natural and human drivers over a long period. We used the ‘Coupling Coordination Degree’ (CCD) for defin…
Mapping stakeholder dynamics: Understanding knowledge, values, and engagement in the Murray-Darling Basin
An assessment framework for adaptive management of urban green space in South-east Queensland, Australia
Meeting urban population needs through UGS design is a global concern, yet no consistent framework exists to assess how UGS meets human needs. This study develops a four hierarchal levels (nine-indicator) framework for assessing UGS in meeting the needs of surrounding groups and applies it to the 20 UGSs in Southeast Queensland (SEQ), Australia. The framework categorizes human needs into four levels—prerequisites (accessibility, security, and leg…
Water sensitive communities: A systematic review with a complex adaptive systems perspective
Assessing stakeholder structure in water governance in the Murray-Darling Basin, a public submission perspective
Transformation from top-down government to collaborative governance for natural resources requires broadening the scope of stakeholders involved. However, the systemic identification and assessment of stakeholder engagement remains a challenge. This paper develops a network-based framework for assessing stakeholder engagement in natural resources governance. The framework proposed five system-level metrics: inclusivity, cohesion, centralization, …
Transition in the societal value and governance of water resources in Australia and China
The transition of a country or a whole society to sustainability is a long-term goal that involves a society’s willingness to carry out such a change and the governance structure to support it. Understanding the role of the governance structure in enabling or constraining the change dynamics of societal values can more effectively foster desired transitions. This paper aims to reveal the co-evolutionary dynamics in the transition processes of the…
Stakeholder engagement in natural resources for energy transitions governance
Energy transition is one of the demands for resource management towards sustainability. It is increasingly recognized that this transition would not justly happen without effective stakeholder engagement (SE). Assessing the impact of SE and its relationship with SE configuration is imperative for understanding dynamics that may promote or hinder stakeholders' contribution to the transition. This paper systemically and quantitatively investigates …
Bundling regions for promoting Sustainable Development Goals
The needs and capacities to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) differ across regions and nations, but little research has been done to investigate their similarities and differences. Here, we proposed using SDG bundles (i.e. groups of regions with similar performances on all individual SDGs) to classify regions when assessing SDG progress and applied the method at the provincial level in China from 2000 to 2015. Five SDG bundles …

River basin governance enabling pathways for sustainable management: A comparative study between Australia, Brazil, China and France
Successful river basin governance is challenged by actor engagement in the various stages of planning and management. A governance approach for determining priorities for actors for sustainable management was developed, based on a river basin diagnostic framework consisting of four social-institutional and four biophysical indicators. It was applied in river basins in Australia, Brazil, China and France. Actors diagnosed current and target capaci…
The gulf of cross-disciplinary research collaborations on global river basins is not narrowed
Using publications in the Web of Science database (WoS), this study investigates the research collaboration on the top 95 most researched global river basins since 1900. The links of both the disciplines involved and the management issues studied between the biophysical, economic, societal, climatic and governance sub-systems of these river basins were examined. We found that research collaborations were dominated within the biophysical sub-syste…

Spatial Equity of Multilevel Healthcare in the Metropolis of Chengdu, China: A New Assessment Approach
The spatial equity of the healthcare system is an important factor in assessing how the different medical service demands of residents are met by different levels of medical institutions. However, previous studies have not paid sufficient attention to multilevel healthcare accessibility based on both the divergence of hierarchical healthcare supplies and variations in residents' behavioral preferences for different types of healthcare. This study…
Relationship between Air Pollution and Regional Longevity in Guangxi, China
Air pollution has become a global environmental challenge and poses major threats to human health, particularly for the aging population. However, few studies have investigated the effects of air pollutants on human longevity, especially based on the total regional quantities and sources. Based on investigation of the spatiotemporal variations of three air pollutants (PM 10 , SO 2 , and NOx) and three longevity indicators (centenarian ratio, cent…
Spatio-Temporal Distribution, Spillover Effects and Influences of China’s Two Levels of Public Healthcare Resources
In China, upper-level healthcare (ULHC) and lower-level healthcare (LLHC) provide different public medical and health services. Only when these two levels of healthcare resources are distributed equally and synergistically can the public's demands for healthcare be met fairly. Despite a number of previous studies having analysed the spatial distribution of healthcare and its determinants, few have evaluated the differences in spatial equity betwe…
