Human–wildlife relations in alpine ecosystems reflect the combined effects of climate change, land-use transitions, and governance capacity. Rather than focusing solely on local conflict dynamics, this study investigat...

The redistribution of street space plays a central role in urban and transport planning. In this context, Tactical Urbanism offers a flexible and participatory approach to testing out street space design. However, rede...

Abstract Background: Food security and nutrition are threatened globally due to climate change. The West African Sahel is particularly vulnerable to climate change given food systems that are highly dependent on rainfall...

India’s rapid economic growth has led to widespread expansion of linear infrastructure (LI) such as roads, railways, and power lines, often with significant ecological impacts on wildlife, including avifauna. Understan...

Abstract The rapid growth of the ageing population in medium-sized cities presents increasing challenges for the provision of inclusive public transport systems. This study examines the accessibility and service quality ...

Urbanisation, land use changes and tourism in disaster-prone high mountain areas or riskscapes have emerged as important research topics and major planning challenges at a global scale with the Himalayan region as a hots...

Climate adaptation planning in resource-constrained contexts requires systematic assessment tools integrating vulnerability with capacity measurement, yet existing frameworks focus either on community vulnerability witho...

Against a backdrop of growing environmental awareness and the need to mitigate climate change impacts, urban spatial planning and management policies inspired by European sustainable development recommendations are gaini...

Communities are central to social-ecological systems where environmental dynamics, development pressures, and human well-being intersect. Yet, infrastructure planning often overlooks this complexity, leading to unintende...

The increasing attention to land–sea interactions in spatial planning highlights persistent difficulties in integrating terrestrial and maritime governance, particularly in tourism-intensive coastal areas where environ...

Abstract Background A core tenet of implementation science is early planning for implementation with invested partners. For health systems, aligning workflows and strategies to the local context and ensuring that the int...

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) are strategic spatial planning tools to address urban mobility needs. The European Commission encourages member states to develop SUMPs to improve quality of life through collabor...

Objectives To develop a videoconference between a remote-sitting specialist, a patient and a practice staff (phase 1) and explore its feasibility in a small-scale real-world setting (phase 2) as preparation for a randomi...
