Sustainability in mega events has garnered increasing attention due to the interplay between environmental, social, and economic factors. However, analyses of the evolving of sustainability reporting in mega events, particularly in identifying key areas of focus, persistent gaps, and the influence of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, are lacking. Herein, we present a systematic review of sustainability-related documents from the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and EXPO 2020 Dubai, structured according to the Global Reporting Initiative framework, incorporating the Sustainable Development Goals. Text mining and correspondence analysis revealed a noticeable shift in the attention toward sustainability before and after the events. The focus shifted from socioeconomic issues to health and ethical concerns, primarily driven by the pandemic. Although academic documents reflect these concerns, official documents exhibit modest changes. Furthermore, underrepresented sustainability indicators were identified, highlighting the scope for further research and adopting a comprehensive approach to sustainability in mega events.

The focus of public service delivery on sustainability and universal access has enabled the enactment of many community-based programs in Indonesia. However, relevant studies that examine the willingness to pay among households that utilize community-managed facilities are lacking, despite it being one of the most important factors for maintenance and a strong indicator of commitment. In the present study, we aimed to estimate household users' preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) to understand their demand for related services. It estimates household user preferences and willingness to pay to understand the demand for related services through a choice experiment. By comparing all service attributes, the results highlight that users derive the highest utility if they updated reactors and pipelines, and, conversely, if the responsible authority is changed. The desire for quality improvement and service expansion were confirmed using this model. The mixed model estimated a willingness to pay of 0.03-3.13 USD for average users, depending on the attributes. Our findings confirm that families who belong to a community that operates a decentralized system derive greater benefits from improved maintenance; thus, they are willing to pay more to enjoy the service. Notably, at its core, a community-managed system, such as the Sanimas Program, is a co-production initiative between multiple levels of government institutions and local residents. Therefore, maintenance actions should involve resource- and payment-intensive efforts, such as half-year sanitary desludging and system replacement owing to deterioration and hazards. Policy regulations that correct the distribution of roles among partners for maintaining the system should be initiated. These findings provide evidence for the government's commitment to the community and could help convince other stakeholders to redirect their attention to supporting sustainable system performance.

This study evaluates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic value creation of plastic waste (PW) management in Rayong, Thailand, a city on the eastern Gulf Coast with a significant amount of generated and leaked PW. By analyzing current practices, and developing and evaluating improvement scenarios, the study explores strategies for reducing GHG and enhancing economic benefits across the PW management chain. Four primary routes with varying capacities handle approximately 5,445.55 tonnes of PW via source separation recycling (5.18 %), post-sorting recycling (9.30 %), energy recovery (54.86 %), and landfills or opened dump disposal (30.66 %). About 83.21 % of the 16 ± 6.9 % PW in municipal solid waste (MSW) is recyclable, primarily consisting of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The current management practice generates an economic benefit of approximately 1.68 million USD/yr or 310 USD/t of PW, compared to the proposed scenarios, which enhances recycling efficiency and reduces landfill and energy recovery waste, yielding 2.27-6.48 million USD/yr or 420.64-1200.33 USD/t of PW. The practice emits about 7,028.47 tCO2e annually, while improved source and post-sorting efficiencies reduce GHG emissions by 2.86-3.17 times or -2.83 to -2.42 tCO2e/t of PW or a total of over 13,078.60-15,268.44 tCO2e. Burning PW increases approximately 1.6 times or 11,841.36 tCO2e/yr. Enhancing recycling efficiency, particularly through source separation, is key to promoting more productive and valuable PW separation, increasing economic value and GHG mitigation by approximately 3.87 and 3.17 times, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights for local authorities and policymakers to develop strategic interventions and policies that align with the improved scenario by enhancing source separation and recycling. The results demonstrate that improving the efficiency of separation at the source is critical for transitioning from a linear PW management strategy to a circular economy, significantly reducing landfill waste and mitigating environmental threats.

The transition to net-zero emissions (NZEs) in developing countries is challenging and requires the immediate adoption of comprehensive climate policy packages, strong collaboration among all sectors and stakeholders, and timely financial and technological assistance for developing economies. This research aims to analyze and evaluate the pathways to realize an NZE scheme at the municipality level. Nakhon Ratchasima (NR) Municipality, Thailand, is selected as the case study for this research. The Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emission Inventories (GPC) is applied as the robust framework to assess the city's GHG emission profile. A mathematical forecasting model and the participatory multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) approach were adopted to support evidence-based local climate action planning based on four different scenarios: the business-as-usual (BAU), nationally determined contribution (NDC), carbon neutrality (CN), and NZE scenarios. The roles of stakeholders at the local community level across all sectors in mitigation actions and investment costs were investigated, and cost-effectiveness was evaluated to understand the economic performance of the adoption and implementation of local climate policy packages. The results indicate that by employing solely conventional technologies, a residential city that is also a hub for trade and land transportation will be unable to achieve its net-zero targets. It is imperative to seek additional low-carbon businesses and decarbonizing technologies that accompany substantial investments. According to the case of NR Municipality, the implementation costs to attain the NZE target by 2050 would range between 974.40 and 4.131.96 million USD. A pivotal driver of the municipal NZE pathway is the successful mobilization private sector investments to propel the transition toward climate-friendly technologies. Cost-effectiveness analysis significantly bolsters the municipality's transitional plan preparation, holistically encompassing economic, social, and environmental considerations. By preparing these aspects together, we ensure a smooth and equitable transition to net zero, avoid conflicts and economic harm and leave no one behind. This approach ensures a harmonious balance between a net-zero future, economic growth, and environmentally friendly living for all.

This study aimed to clarify the correlation between setback distance, local acceptance, and negative impacts of the distributed wind power project and identify the proper setback distance according to subsidy. The related policies and regulations for wind power systems and information on the distributed renewable energy demonstration project clarified its recognition, as well as the factors correlated with satisfaction and acceptance. Accordingly, a questionnaire for centralized and distributed wind power projects was designed to investigate awareness regarding local wind power projects and related questions for the control group. Correlations were seen between satisfaction, setback distance, and negative impacts. To obtain a fit setback distance for distributed wind power systems, the data were entered into SPSS regression models. The following formula was obtained: Satisfaction = 2.828 -0.016 * Distance + 4.305e-5 * Distance² -2.447e-8 * Distance³. Other questions assessed the distance that respondents were willing to increase or decrease if subsidy could be obtained, and the results were close to normal distribution. The mean of 483.79 meters indicated that respondents found it acceptable to live near distributed wind farms with an 8% discount in electricity bills when the setback distance was set at 484 meters.

AIM: We aimed to develop a measurement method that can count fibers rapidly by scanning electron microscopy equipped with an artificial intelligence image recognition system (AI-SEM), detecting thin fibers which cannot be observed by a conventional phase contrast microscopy (PCM) method. METHODS: We created a simulation sampling filter of airborne fibers using water-filtered chrysotile (white asbestos). A total of 108 images was taken of the samples at a 5 kV accelerating voltage with 10 000X magnification scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Each of three expert analysts counted 108 images and created a model answer for fibers. We trained the artificial intelligence (AI) using 25 of the 108 images. After the training, the AI counted fibers in 108 images again. RESULTS: There was a 12.1% difference between the AI counting results and the model answer. At 10 000X magnification, AI-SEM can detect 87.9% of fibers with a diameter of 0.06-3 μm, which is similar to a skilled analyst. Fibers with a diameter of 0.2 μm or less cannot be confirmed by phase-contrast microscopy (PCM). When observing the same area in 300 images with 1500X magnification SEM-as listed in the Asbestos Monitoring Manual (Ministry of the Environment)-with 10 000X SEM, the expected analysis time required for the trained AI is 5 h, whereas the expected time required for observation by an analyst is 251 h. CONCLUSION: The AI-SEM can count thin fibers with higher accuracy and more quickly than conventional methods by PCM and SEM.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate human health and potential ecological risk assessment in the ger district of Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia. To perform these risk assessments, soil samples were collected based on reference studies that investigated heavy element distribution in soil samples near the ger area in Ulaanbaatar city. In total, 42 soil samples were collected and 26 heavy metals were identified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) methods. The measurement results were compared with the reference data in order to validate the soil contamination level. Although there was a large difference between the measurement results of the present and reference data, the general tendency was similar. Soil contamination was assessed by pollution indexes such as geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor. Mo and As were the most enriched elements compared with the other elements. The carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks to children exceeded the permissible limits, and for adults, only 12 out of 42 sampling points exceeded the permissible limit of noncarcinogenic effects. According to the results of the ecological risk assessment, Zn and Pb showed from moderate to considerable contamination indexes and high toxicity values for ecological risk of a single element. The Cr and As ranged as very high ecological risk than that of the other measured heavy metals.

<p>The purpose of this research is to establish a method for measuring airborne asbestos concentration that can obtain an analysis value with the accuracy required for administrative guidance quickly at an analytical instrument owned by a local government.</p><p>The time required to count a sample was measured using phase contrast microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. We compared about the eight types of measurement methods described in the asbestos monitoring manual from the results of verification experiments and literature surveys. The comparison items were the state of ownership of measuring machines in local governments, portability to dismantling sites, measuring conditions, analysis accuracy,purchase price of measuring machines, the analytical advantages and issues. As a result, it was judged that simplification of the phase contrast microscopy method with maintaining the analysis accuracy was most effective.</p><p>We verified the time required for measurement, analysis accuracy (the lower limit of detection, the error range of the measured value) when the sampling time and the number of counting fields of view were changed in phase contrast microscopy.</p><p>The asbestos monitoring manual describes conditions (sampling 30 minutes and the counting 100 fields of view) for when particularly quickness is required, and the calculated measurement time was 2.2 to 4.7 hours, the lower detection limit was 0.4 fiber / L, and the error range of measurement value was 1.6 fiber / L. As a result of comparing the measurement conditions, when the sampling time was 2 hours and the counting 50 fields of view, the measurement required time was 2.8 to 4.1 hours. And when the sampling time was 1 hour and the counting 100 fields of view, the measurement required time was 2.7 to 5.2 hours. Under both measurement conditions, the lower limit of detection was 0.2 fiber / L, and the error range of the measured value was 1 fiber / L.</p><p>These two measurement conditions were almost the same in measurement time and higher in analysis accuracy,compared to the measurement conditions especially when rapidity was required. It is considered that these two measurement conditions can be used when promptness is required in on-site inspection at the time of asbestos-containing building demolition and renovation works.</p>

<p>Necessity of a hydrogen energy society has recently recognized and installation of hydrogen stations have actually been increased. However, it has been found that local residents concern about safety of hydrogen and reported a local opposition due to its project development. Although appropriate information-providing is necessary to get agreement, but factor of getting agreement is not clear enough. This study aimed to clarify factors affecting on local residents' attitude to hydrogen stations by conducting a questionnaire survey on local residents living near hydrogen stations. As a result, it was revealed that the necessity of hydrogen stations was likely to be related to the acceptance rather than the risk. It was also clarified that the knowledge of hydrogen did not necessarily contribute to enhancement of the acceptance.</p>

<p>Small wind power which is defined as a turbine with less than 20kWh capacity has recently increased in Japan. However, little is known about the community acceptance of small wind power in previous studies so far nor in the actual situation due to no specific regulations. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to clarify the community acceptance from viewpoints of environmental, psychological and geographical factors. In order to achieve it, a questionnaire survey was conducted, targeting 129 municipalities where the small wind power or its guideline was already installed. The other questionnaire survey was also carried out on local residents living near small turbines in Oga city, Akita prefecture to clarify the community response. The actual installation of the small wind power and major factors of community response were eventually revealed.</p>

<p>Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is globally considered an effective environmental management tool for supporting the sustainable development. It has been widely used worldwide. While there are few studies which analyze the contents of EIA reports due to lack of the information, Chinese government has started to disclose national level EIA reports since 2014. It would be effective to make clear the characteristics of Chinese EIA with the disclosed information. The objective of this research is to study the characteristics of EIA reports in China by analyzing the tendency on EIA applications from 1999 to 2014 as well as EIA reports in 2014. Two kinds of methodologies have been applied, document survey and statistical analysis. For statistical analysis, two kinds of analysis were conducted in this part, which are trend analysis and content analysis. Trend analysis would suggest that EIA system has been well set up in China but the quality of the whole review process itself still needs to be questioned. From statistical analysis, we found in some cases lower levels of estimation methods were applied for environmental items with higher assessment magnitudes.</p>

The protection of tropical forests is one of the most urgent issues in conservation biology because of the rapid deforestation that has occurred over the last 50 years. Even in protected forests, the anthropogenic effects from newly expanding villages such as harvesting of medicinal plants, pasturing cattle and forest fires can induce environmental modifications, especially on the forest floor. We evaluated the anthropogenic effects of the daily activities of neighboring residents on natural forests in 12 plots extending from the village boundary into a natural forest in Thailand. The basal area per unit land area did not present a significant trend; however, the species diversity of woody plants decreased linearly towards the village boundary, which caused a loss of individual density because of severe declines in small saplings compared with adult trees and large saplings in proximity to the village. An analysis of tree-size categories indicates a lack of small samplings near the village boundary. The current forest appears to be well protected based on the adult tree canopy, but regeneration of the present-day forests is unlikely because of the loss of seedlings.

While waste banks collect recyclables in several cities in Indonesia, their activities are not sufficiently investigated yet. We conducted a questionnaire survey for residents in Balikpapan city and analyzed relationship between recognition, awareness, actions of residents and activities of the waste banks. The result suggests that awareness and actions of residents near the waste banks for waste separation are promoted by use of the waste banks. Based on the result of relative analysis on waste separation actions near the waste banks, we found that there were relationships among concern and recognition of waste issues and waste separation, evaluation and implementation of waste separation actions, and dissemination of importance of waste separation to others. This result implies that activities of the waste banks promote the relations.

This paper contributes to clarify roles community council in making process of community-based renewable energy(RE) project through case study about seven cases including Odawara city. Case study was conducted from three viewpoints -resource mobilization, stakeholder involvement, and effectiveness of decision. As a result, three points as following are clarified; 1) municipality can play the role of publicity in site selection; 2) selection of member who can coordinate opinions between members is important to manage community council; and 3) coupling process of making RE vision and making project is important problem for effective decision about method of fund-raise and profit reduction to community.

In Japan, knowledge of factors in the social impacts produced by wind farms is not enough. This study conducted an interview survey for residents living near the coastal wind farm in the hilly area, and then analyzed how and why the perception/annoyance of noise and shadow flicker occur. As a result, it was clarified that the distance between wind turbines and residents was not a significant factor. On the other hand, a visual element, how they could see wind turbines, was a significant factor. In addition, followings were found: adverse impacts due to shadow flickers had greatly generated in the coastal area, the rate of annoyance became worse when residents recognize plural social impacts, and residents tended to evaluate scenery of turbines negative.

This paper aimed to clarify factors influencing environmental conflict occurrence during the planning stage for wind farm projects in Japan. After studying conflict occurrence situations and the main conflict issues for 155 large-scale projects across Japan, we focused on both physical and social factors as explanatory variables and applied a quantitative method using binary logistic regression analysis. The main findings were:(1) environmental conflicts had occurred in 59 projects as of May 2012 and the main issues could be classified as noise/infrasound, sediment- related disaster/hydrology, landscape, nature destruction and birds (esp. raptors); (2) turbine number and size were influential factors as structural aspects, while there was no significant association between proximity to turbines and conflict occurrence; (3) sites located within natural parks, national protection forests, sediment-related disaster hazardous areas and wildlife protection areas designated by relevant acts and ordinances showed higher conflict occurrence, and proximity to such areas could be influential as well; (4) habitats for Golden Eagle, Mountain Hawk Eagle, White-tailed Eagle and Steller's Sea Eagle significantly encouraged conflict; (5) in terms of social aspects at both the national and prefectural level, conflict occurrence was strongly associated with the existence of past conflict experiences and complaints about noise and/or infrasound generated by operating wind farms.

Although Japan is very rich in geothermal resources, the geothermal power development has stagnated due to the high cost, strict development regulations and ingrained opposition campaigns of the local residents. In the near future, consensus building is most likely to be the biggest issue on the geothermal power development. The purpose of this study is to clarify some factors that could influence community acceptance through a comparative analysis of the two case studies. As a result, we have found that some noticeable difference between the two. They are: the diversity in the use of geothermal resources in the local areas, the concreteness of information that could affect the risk recognition of the local residents, and the process of the risk management by developers.

To improve the quality of urban life, it is necessary to increase a chance of coming in touch with natural environment as well as urban environment. Accessibilities to various natural environments, therefore, are very important factors on making a environmental plan of a wider urban area. The purpose of the study is to find out determinant factors in the residents' evaluation of accessibilities to natural environment and to estimate the accessibilities at any point of a wider urban area.<br>The authors conducted a questionnaire sheet survey in Utsunomiya City which composes an independent urban area in 1989. The number of respondents of this survey is 6, 939, with collecting ratio of 52.1 percent. Using the data, the authors tried to explain residents' evaluation of accessibilities with such physical data, as distance to destination, scale and quality of destination, and such personal attributes data as age, sex, occupation, type of housing, the will of setting in one's place, and land use type around residence. The following three kinds of accessibilities were selected for the examination; to parks and open spaces, to water fronts, and to mountains.<br>The results of the analysis are as follows: (1) Evaluation functions for "to parks and open spaces", "to water fronts", and "to mountains" which use residents' evaluation and air distance were developed. They however were not proper. (2) To enhance the evaluation functions to parks and open spaces, air distance to parks which was assumed from traveling time as a explanatory variable improved the evaluation function. (3) To enhance the evaluation functions to water fronts, air distance to water fronts, distance to the center of city and water quality are effective factors in the evaluation of accessibilities to water fronts. Using this evaluation function, evaluation values at whole points of Utsunomiya City were acquired. (4) In the case of "to mountains", there are little relationship between residents' evaluation and air distance. Therefore route distance or traveling time will be required instead of air distance to estimate an evaluation function. (5) Residents' location from the center of city effect their evaluation. In the case "to parks and open spaces", the distance become farther, the evaluation becomes lower. And others cases "to water fronts" and "to mountains", the distance become farther, the evaluations become higher.<br>Evaluation functions using air distance with other factors instead of traveling time is useful. The other hand there is limit to enhance these functions without traveling time. Therefore to use traveling time or route distance also will be required even the estimation is difficult.
