Large Language Model Self-Efficacy and Metacognition as Bridges in Cross-Linguistic Self-Efficacy Transfer
Evaluating user experience, emotional attitudes, and repurchase intentions in virtual reality
The influence of user technology on consumer decisions is apparent, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This research aims to analyze how virtual reality affects user experience, leading to changes in emotional attitudes and behavioral intentions. Within the scope of the Digital Dunhuang project in China, a comprehensive analysis was carried out using 466 reliable user data and structural equation modeling approaches. The findings of th…
A mobility-based framework for measuring socio-spatial segregation in 30 U.S. metropolitan areas
Although “segregation” is widely used and often treated as a clear condition, what it actually means for a place to be “highly segregated” remains ambiguous. Studies invoke the term across diverse social and spatial contexts, from income to race, or from residence to facility access, without a shared definition of what segregation entails. This ambiguity obscures comparisons across cities and dimensions, risks misdiagnosing the sources of inequal…

Spatial patterns of environmental injustice in social vulnerability and ambient dust levels across Australia
Ambient dust exposure has been associated with several adverse health outcomes. Unlike ambient air pollution, the vulnerability of subpopulations to ambient dust has not yet been explored. As the driest inhabited continent, Australia provides a natural laboratory for studying large-scale dust exposure. This study aimed to examine environmental injustice in the ambient dust of ⩽10 μ m particle size and vulnerability of subpopulations in Australia,…
Natural environment and gestational diabetes risk in Australia
High residential greenness may be associated with a lower risk of GDM, with potential differences by social factors. The increased GDM risk associated with high PM 2.5 was more pronounced in areas of socioeconomic disadvantage and in areas with high concentrations of non-European migrant women. NO 2 did not show a significant association with GDM risk. These findings suggest that geographically targeted interventions may help mitigate the risk of…
Combined benefits of multi-hazard early warnings on human mobility resilience to tropical cyclones
Analysis of dating app classification and predictors of dating app addiction based on user experience factors
Dating apps now re-engineer relationship formation, sometimes fostering addictive use that disrupts daily life and harms platform reputations. Sometimes, however, they encourage addictive behavior that disrupts daily life and damages the reputation of the platforms. This study integrates psychological addiction models with uses-and-gratifications research to construct an empirical framework for predicting excessive dating app usage behavior. Firs…

Australian nationwide assessment of social vulnerability in two decades through its linkage to the built environment
Evaluating social vulnerability and identifying at-risk populations are foundational to hazard risk mitigation and sustainable human settlement, yet these tasks entail distinct challenges that vary across urban-rural contexts and temporal scales. Despite Australia's escalating exposure to natural disasters, longitudinal, nationwide metrics of social vulnerability remain absent, with prior research constrained to localized or temporally fragmented…

A novel analytical framework is proposed to identify urban vibrancy. • Using Twitter and Flickr to assess the urban vibrancy resilience amid the pandemic. • Vibrant urban areas with certain common characteristics exhibit greater resilience. • Policy implications are provided for enhancing adaptability of urban vibrancy. Since COVID-19, the focus on urban resilience has intensified, particularly on cities' ability to adapt and recover while mainta…
Pandemic fatigue? Insights from geotagged tweets on the spatiotemporal evolution of mental health in Canadian cities during Covid-19
While COVID-19 is no longer a global pandemic, its enduring effects on mental health persist. This is the first study to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population mental health in major Canadian cities. We track mental health dynamics of urban Canadian regions by monitoring the sentiment polarity dynamics, emotion trends, and top keywords of COVID-19 related discussions on Twitter (now X) from 2020 to 2022. Using over 430,000 geo…
Does increased temperature affect residential mobility? A 20-year nationwide evidence in Australia
People adapt to changes in livelihoods and risks caused by summer high temperature in the era of global warming, which may also lead to residential mobility at the individual level and migration flow at the aggregate level. However, little evidence is available to show the long-term localized impact of summer temperature on residential mobility. Our study aims to conduct a 20-year nationwide investigation of the heat-mobility relationship in Aust…
Landscape of multiculturalism in Australia
Embracing multiculturalism has become an important initiative for enhancing cultural identity, social cohesion, and harmony in many migrant-receiving countries. While a large body of literature has examined ethnic diversity in relation to migration, less attention has been given to tracking changes in ethnic diversity over time and from a spatial perspective. Our study aims to contribute to this gap by examining nationwide ethnic diversity in Aus…
Tracking the settlement patterns of culturally and linguistically diverse (Cald) populations in Australia
Tracking the settlement of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations serves as the foundation for population projection, urban planning, and policy making to achieve social justice, equity, and multicultural harmony. Drawing on census data in 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2021, our study contributes an Australian nationwide time-series study of the settlement of CALD populations at a fine neighbourhood level, enabling long-term tracki…

The Problems with Neighbors
Where earlier conceptions of problem neighbors saw them as contributing to neighborhood level forms of disorder, neighbor problems, in contrast, occur in the everyday domestic setting of residential life and challenge conceptual boundaries between public/private and civility/incivility. As a result, there is a need to better understand the phenomenon of problems between neighbors beyond conceptions of public disorder and to understand the process…
The times, they are a-changin’
INTRODUCTION: Widespread problems of psychological distress have been observed in many countries following the outbreak of COVID-19, including Australia. What is lacking from current scholarship is a national-scale assessment that tracks the shifts in mental health during the pandemic timeline and across geographic contexts. METHODS: Drawing on 244 406 geotagged tweets in Australia from 1 January 2020 to 31 May 2021, we employed machine learning …
Spatially-explicit prediction of low-density peri-urban development
Mainstream urban modelling literature focuses on urban expansion featured by a relatively fast urbanisation process, but relatively less research is available to understand and model the slow-paced urban and rural land development in the low-density peri-urban context. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by simulating the urban and rural land development in the Moreton Bay Region in South East Queensland (SEQ), Australia using two cellu…
Exploring the Effect of Health on Migrants’ Social Integration in China
There are 376 million migrants, which account for more than 25% of the population in China according to the newest national demographic census, most of whom are from undeveloped areas to developed urban regions. Migrants' social integration was one of the most important issues when the country aimed to build an inclusive society. As a form of human capital, the effect of migrants' health status on social integration has rarely been explored until…
Modelling urban change with cellular automata
The study of land use change in urban and regional systems has been dramatically transformed in the last four decades by the emergence and application of cellular automata (CA) models. CA models simulate urban land use changes which evolve from the bottom-up. Despite notable achievements in this field, there remain significant gaps between urban processes simulated in CA models and the actual dynamics of evolving urban systems. This article ident…

Constructing a sense of home
This article explores the meaning of home to older Chinese migrants and what they do to construct a sense of home as they live and age in Australia. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 older Chinese migrants (80 per cent aged 60+), who were born in mainland China and Hong Kong. Unlike the traditional interview method, we asked each participant to provide two photographs, which signified the concept of home to them and used these as visual el…
Shifting dynamics of Chinese settlement in Australia
The so-called Asian Century has brought with it sweeping changes in the profile of migration to Australia. This paper focuses on examining post-2000 migration from Mainland China, which has rapidly ascended to now become Australia's top non-Commonwealth country of origin. Significantly, the profile of post-2000 Mainland China-born (MC-born) migrants has changed to mirror broader global shifts towards highly skilled, education-related, and investm…

Modelling the spatial dynamics of Mainland China-born migrants in Australia
Over the past two decades, migration from Mainland China (MC) to Australia has become increasingly significant. In contrast to previous migrant waves, post-2000 MC-born migrants in Australia are more likely to be highly skilled and/or financially independent, and often migrate under skilled, business and investment visa programs. Though scholarship has explored various facets of MC-born migrants’ settlement in Australian cities, the spatial dynam…

A network-constrained spatial identification of high-risk roads for hit-parked-vehicle collisions in Brisbane, Australia
The severe loss of human life and material damage caused by traffic accidents is a growing concern faced by many countries across the world. In Australia, despite a decline in the total number of traffic collisions since 2001, the number of hit-parked-vehicle (HPV) collisions as a special type of road accident has increased over time. Utilizing the road collisions and roadway network data in Brisbane, Australia over a 10-year period from 2001 to …
D space-time visualization of individual settlement pathways of Mainland China-born migrants in Queensland, Australia
The number of migrants from Mainland China (MC) to Australia have been sharply increasing since 2000 and MC became the largest non-Commonwealth source country in 2011. The integration process of migrants to the host society involves the exposure and movement of migrants to the majority, which is reflected by the settlement pathways of migrants moving from ethnic to non-ethnic communities over time. Most of the existing research regarding migrants…
Examining the Change of Human Mobility Adherent to Social Restriction Policies and Its Effect on Covid-19 Cases in Australia
The policy induced decline of human mobility has been recognised as effective in controlling the spread of COVID-19, especially in the initial stage of the outbreak, although the relationship among mobility, policy implementation, and virus spread remains contentious. Coupling the data of confirmed COVID-19 cases with the Google mobility data in Australia, we present a state-level empirical study to: (1) inspect the temporal variation of the COVI…
A season for complaints
Both built environment and natural environment have physiological and psychological effect on human behaviour, which potentially affect their sensitivity and tolerance to surrounding noise, and leads to annoyance, nuisance, distress or overt actions and aggressive behaviours such as noise complaints to people living neighborly. This study aims to explore the extent weather conditions affect the prevalence of noise complaints between neighbours me…
Access to urban parks
Urban parks are essential components of urban ecosystems, providing recreation and relaxation places to residents. Measuring the spatial accessibility to urban parks serves as an initial step in urban planning and developing urban development strategies to improve social and environmental justice. This study aims to evaluate measures of spatial accessibility to urban parks by comparing three geographic information systems (GIS)-based approaches, …
Chronic Illness, Subjective Wellbeing, and Health Services Availability
Chronic illness is prevalent in older adults. While current scholarship has examined how various factors may be associated with the onset of chronic illnesses, fewer scholars have examined the role of health services availability. Drawing on a sample of older adults aged 50 and above from wave 16 of the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey and geo-coded information of general practitioners (GPs) from the Australian Medical D…

The promise of excess mobility analysis
Human mobility studies have become increasingly important and diverse in the past decade with the support of social media big data that enables human mobility to be measured in a harmonized and rapid manner. However, what is less explored in the current scholarship is episodic mobility as a special type of human mobility defined as the abnormal mobility triggered by episodic events excess to the normal range of mobility at large. Drawing on a lar…
