Cognitive limits of perceived flood risk on residential property values
Examining cognitive limits in flood risk perception for residential property values, we analyse the Richmond housing market in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Using micro-level home sales data, our study reveals that the market has integrated long-term flood risk into property values. A notable 10.8% price discount is observed for properties within 1-100 Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood zone, 4.4% for those in an AEP 500 zone, w…
Going Back to School
There has been a growing interest in Australia for public schools to share their facilities (space) with local communities, driven by the understanding that these substantial public investments have the potential to yield additional social, environmental, and economic benefits to their immediate neighbourhoods. Yet, there is limited critical research on this topic, particularly from an urban planning perspective. This article reflects on schools …
Mandatory or voluntary approaches to green roof implementation
Green roofs can deliver multiple environmental and social benefits by reducing the urban heat island effect, reducing building energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, providing habitat for biodiversity and access to the biophilia effect. Green roofs provide these benefits to differing degrees in different climate zones globally. Despite known benefits, uptake of green roofs has been slow. Different cities, globally, adopt …
Perceived differential vulnerability and climate change-related hazards in informal settlements in Accra, Ghana
Urbanisation in developing countries has co-evolved with exposure to hazards among the urban poor. Yet, current understandings of hazard vulnerability are context-specific and limiting for shedding light on perceived vulnerability to climate change in the context of informal urbanisation. The overall perception of informal dwellers on the causative and local factors that underly the processes of informal urbanisation and their hazard exposure and…

Conversations on Belonging
In this Special Section we highlight existing and emerging scholarship on Belonging in countries with white majority cultures. We argue that ‘belonging’ is a familiar and well researched concept that continues to be relevant today because it is central to the joy and vitality of life that enables us to inhabit multiple worlds. Drawing on intellectual and personal journeys in USA, Canada and Australia, the contributors of ‘Indian’ heritage raise q…
Institutional Barriers in Tribal Hill Areas for Agricultural Finance
The underdeveloped countries like India suffered from scarcity of capital which is the greatest handicap in their economic development. To mobilize finance, which is the crux of the problem of development, a sound banking system is essential and other financial institutions are required to channelised savings into investment and supply the credit needs of trade and industry. Tribal hill areas in Northeastern Region are plagued with some instituti…
Retrofitting the Suburban Garden
Residential gardens will continue to dominate as important elements of Australian suburbs in the timeframe available for adapting to climate change. In this paper, we analyse and compare the morphologies and sustainability potential of residential suburbs and their gardens in two case studies: Traditional-suburban and Modern-suburban in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. Spatial distributions of land-cover patterns were estimated using Geog…
