Impacts of sub-daily rapid temperature drops on winter outdoor thermal comfort under climate change
As climate change progresses, extreme heat and cold events are well documented. However, the sub-daily rapid temperature drop (RTD), characterized by a fast ambient temperature decrease within hours, remains understudied especially in subtropical regions where local residents are less adapted to cold, despite its significant impacts on human thermal comfort and health. This study examines wintertime RTD events in Hong Kong, inspecting the extreme…

Spatial Variability of Geriatric Depression Risk in a High-Density City
Previous studies found a relationship between geriatric depression and social deprivation. However, most studies did not include environmental factors in the statistical models, introducing a bias to estimate geriatric depression risk because the urban environment was found to have significant associations with mental health. We developed a cross-sectional study with a binomial logistic regression to examine the geriatric depression risk of a hig…
Associations between Perceived Neighborhood Walkability and Walking Time, Wellbeing, and Loneliness in Community-Dwelling Older Chinese People in Hong Kong
This study examined the cross-sectional associations between perceived neighborhood walkability and walking time, physical activity, wellbeing, and loneliness, and examined which components of walkability were most strongly associated with better wellbeing and less loneliness in older adults. Participants were community-dwelling Chinese adults aged 60+ ( n = 181). Walkability was measured using nine items selected from the Chinese version of the …
The impact of urban planning strategies on heat stress in a climate-change perspective
An evaluation of police foot patrol in Lower Lonsdale, British Columbia
A crime reduction initiative of increased police foot patrol was implemented in a relatively low-crime community, 09 June 2010–30 September 2010. This study analyzes police incident data from January 2007 to September 2010 to evaluate this initiative. Overall, there was a drop in calls for police service in 2010, 16–17%. Moreover, the results of the evaluation indicate a statistically significant reduction in mischief and commercial burglary. The…
