Exploring mobile money adoption in Vietnam: Insights from payment technology and demographic dynamics
Recent advances in e-payment technology have safeguarded many financial service businesses and consumer transactions during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Vietnamese markets. However, these e-payment technologies have had few systematic analyses as one of Fintech adoption concerning the possible effects of financial institution accounts and customer demographic factors, which might help to increase managerial efficiency. The demographic…

Four Decades of Research on Racial Equity and Justice in Urban Planning
How have urban planners addressed racial equity and justice in their scholarship? Using topic modeling and qualitative text coding, this study analyzed articles from twenty top urban planning journals from 1980 to 2019. The findings indicate that only 1.8 percent of planning articles are related to racial equity and justice throughout the four decades, with a slight uptick in attention paid to these topics in recent years. The dearth of planning …
How living and working in industrial zones affects health outcomes in Hanoi, Vietnam
The national economic reform movement that began in 1986 in Vietnam, known as Doi Moi, included efforts to connect Vietnam to the global production chain, thereby encouraging more foreign investment in the country. These reforms led to rapid economic growth and urbanization, positioning modern day Vietnam as one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia. By 2018, the Vietnamese national government had designated 326 industrial zones, att…

Mobilizing social capital: Which informal and formal supports affect employment outcomes for Hope VI residents
Using a mixed-methods approach, this study examines the relationship between informal social support and formal support services and employment outcomes among residents of a public housing development relocated as part of a HOPE VI project in Charlotte, North Carolina. Informal social supports are resources accessible through family and friends within a neighborhood and formal support services are provided by case managers and service providers. …
Interior immigration enforcement: The impacts of expanding local law enforcement authority
A growing emphasis on interior immigration enforcement in the US has broadened the legal authority of state and local law enforcers to investigate and enforce immigration violations, thereby expanding the federal government’s interior enforcement capabilities. This study investigates how local immigration enforcement programs, such as 287g, alter the operational priorities of local law enforcers and impact communities in two jurisdictions in Nort…
The Economic Integration of Immigrants and Regional Resilience
This article explores variation in the economic integration of immigrants across U.S. metropolitan areas and tests a basic hypothesis that greater economic integration promotes regional resilience. Here we construct two quantitative indexes of occupational diversity as primary indicators of economic integration and develop a conceptual framework of social, economic, and spatial factors that are likely to shape occupational diversity at the region…
Opposition to Affordable Housing in the USA: Debate Framing and the Responses of Local Actors
This article investigates the framing of affordable housing by opponents and responses to this framing by local housing actors in the USA. We use a social construction approach to explore how conceptualizations of race/ethnicity, class and immigration shape opponents views and cast affordable housing tenants as deviant and undeserving, making them undesirable neighbours. Our study finds that affordable housing opposition and the process of framin…
Entrenched Hybridity in Public Housing Agencies in the USA
In this paper, we build on the extant literature on housing social enterprises and hybrid models of public housing delivery. We trace the evolution of US housing policy toward greater hybridity, focusing on three dimensions of hybridity. Drawing from a case study of the Charlotte Housing Authority in North Carolina, we showcase two housing programs, HOPE VI and Moving to Work, in order to highlight current innovations in the provision of housing …
Can Built and Social Environmental Factors Encourage Walking among Individuals with Negative Walking Attitudes
We investigate whether the design of the built environment encourages walking above and beyond individuals’ attitudes toward walking. With data from a regional travel survey, we use regression analyses to examine differences in neighborhood walking trips among residents with positive and negative attitudes toward walking. The results show that built and social environment factors have a differential impact on walking trips depending on a person’s…
Retrofitting the Suburbs to Increase Walking: Evidence from a Land-use-Travel Study
This paper reports results from a detailed travel diary survey of 2125 residents in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County—a mature, auto-oriented suburban region. Study areas were divided into four centres, typical of compact development or smart growth, and four linear, auto-oriented corridors. Results show substantial variation in the amount of walking across study areas. Trips are shorter and more likely to be via walking in centres. A key …
Why Do Communities Mobilize against Growth: Growth Pressures, Community Status, Metropolitan Hierarchy, or Strategic Interaction
Findings from this study challenge the conventional wisdom about the motivations for local growth control. Using data of California ballot box growth controls merged with city level demographic and housing data from the U.S. Census Bureau, logit models are estimated to test four hypotheses for why communities mobilize against growth. Of the four hypotheses, growth pressures, community status, metropolitan hierarchy, and strategic interaction, the…
Local Growth Control at the Ballot Box: Real Effects or Symbolic Politics
Growth control regulations are pervasive in local jurisdictions throughout the United States; yet there is still much uncertainty about their effectiveness in slowing down or halting growth. Moreover, there is considerable debate over whether there are unintended (or sometimes intended) exclusionary consequences that disproportionately affect minority and low-income populations. Employing multiple regression analyses, this study examines the effe…
