In China, neighborhood regeneration has transitioned into a new phase characterized by small-scale rehabilitation, and fostering active resident participation has emerged as a crucial challenge. While numerous studies have focused on encouraging resident participation, they often overlook the fact that, cultivating active resident participation requires establishing trust in the grassroots government as a precursor in the China’s top-down governance system context. Grounded on the innovative notion of trust building, this paper aims to explore the formation of residents’ trust in the grassroots government and its influence on their participation willingness. The theoretical foundation is rooted in the perspectives of organizational behavior and Social Exchange Theory (SET). Data is collected through a questionnaire survey, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is employed for empirical analysis. The empirical findings indicate that trust propensity, trustworthiness, and place attachment directly impact the development of residents’ trust in the grassroots government. In turn, trust influences their participation willingness by shaping their perceived benefits and costs. By adopting the unique perspective of trust building, this paper provides theoretical support and practical implementation strategies for promoting resident participation in neighborhood regeneration in China.

The renewal of old communities (OCR) is a crucial component of China's urban renewal strategy. However, the huge funding gap, coupled with the unwillingness of enterprises to participate, has impeded the sustainable development of OCR in China. This issue has become a major practical challenge for the government. This study employed the modified theory of planned behavior (M-TPB) to examine enterprise behavior, focusing on how internal capabilities and external conditions influence their participation. Data was collected from 261 questionnaire surveys, and structured equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Further in-depth interviews were conducted to explain and validate the results from the SEM. The findings illustrate that: (1) the M-TPB offers a more detailed and nuanced explanation of the mechanisms influencing participation behavior; (2) the attitude towards participation is an important factor in shaping the intention to participate; (3) there is a significant negative correlation between perceived behavioral control, which is based on external conditions, and the participation intention; and (4) different types of enterprises show differences in attitude and perceived behavioral control. These findings provide new insights and perspectives on the OCR dilemma in China, highlighting some important practical implications for fostering various forms of enterprise participation in OCR projects.

The emerging prefabricated decoration (PD) sector in China offers a compelling avenue for revolutionizing the construction industry, aligning with the imperatives of sustainability and industrialization. However, the outlook for the diffusion of PD in China's construction industry is less than promising. The development of PD is closely related to its value creation and the intricate interplay of stakeholder strategies and their ramifications on PD's value co-creation necessitates thorough exploration. Based on evolutionary game theory, this study elucidates the dynamic interactions among local governments, developers, and decoration contractors in China's evolving PD landscape. A tripartite evolutionary game model was established, investigating the evolutionary stable equilibriums and the corresponding strategies. Then, an empirical analysis in Chongqing City validates the game models and primary conclusions. Scrutinizing subsidy thresholds, local subsidy biases, PD proportion in prefabrication, and binary innovation allocation, the research unveils nuanced insights pertinent to boosting PD's value co-creation. Findings advocate an assembly rate threshold of subsidy (65%–70 %) and a shift towards incentivizing decoration contractors to catalyze PD adoption. Additionally, excessive PD proportion and immature product investments may hinder industry development, prompting stakeholders to recalibrate strategies dynamically. These findings characterize the mechanisms of stakeholder value co-creation during the PD diffusion, enriching the implications of value co-creation theory in the emerging industry of the construction sector. They also furnish stakeholders committed to promoting the diffusion of PD in the domestic and international construction sectors with practical strategic guidance, particularly tailored for cities in the early stages of PD development.

Engineering Construction & Architectural Management

Purpose Micro-regeneration can effectively enhance a neighborhood’s commercial vitality and serve as a viable approach to boost economic benefits. However, the small scale of micro-regeneration efforts and the fragmented nature of information currently limit the availability of strong empirical evidence demonstrating its impact on neighborhood commercial vitality. The aim of the study was to examine the link between micro-regeneration and neighborhood commercial vitality, focusing on the average, time-lag, spatial spillover, and spatial heterogeneity effects. Design/methodology/approach Using the panel data set of 1,755 neighborhoods in Chongqing from 2016 to 2021 as the research sample, the difference-in-differences (DID) method was employed in this study to explore the impact micro-regeneration has on neighborhood commercial vitality. Findings The results illustrate that: (1) micro-regeneration can promote neighborhood commercial vitality in terms of the number and types of local consumption amenities by 27.76 and 5.89%, respectively, with no time-lag effect; (2) the positive spillovers can exist within the range of 5,000 meters–5,500 meters of regenerated neighborhoods; and (3) the effect of micro-regeneration on neighborhood commercial vitality can be greater in peripheral areas than in core areas of the city. Originality/value The findings fill the knowledge gap on the relationship between micro-regeneration and neighborhood commercial vitality. Additionally, the results on the time-lag effect, spatial spillover effects, and spatial heterogeneity provide practical implications that can support the government and private sector in developing temporal and spatial arrangements for micro-regeneration projects.

... To ensure the accuracy of the simulation models, the construction guidelines outlined by the ASHRAE for walls, floors, roofs, and openings are incorporated into the school modeling process. The heating and cooling air supply model utilizes simplified thermal equations that calculates the energy transfer per minute between internal heat gain and heat loss through building envelopes [37,38]. To simulate real-world conditions, the Incheon weather file from the EnergyPlus V9.5 reference is utilized to provide outdoor temperature and humidity conditions as inputs for the simulation. ...

These include the pavement of permeable bricks to improve water infiltration and reduce surface runoff, the construction of rain gardens to collect and retain rainwater for efficient utilization, and the installation of new underground drainage pipelines to ensure effective water discharge. Resident engagement is vital in determining the success or failure of the SOCR, given that they are the direct stakeholders and end-users [18][19][20][21][22]. For example, 32.8% of residents in Zhenjiang are dissatisfied with the maintenance of SOCR facilities, posing potential risks of protests and irreparable losses [15]. ...

... Coleman and others were the first to approach the concept from a functionalist viewpoint, defining social capital as an endogenous force that facilitates collective action among group members, and suggesting that the strength of this force determines the effectiveness of community governance (Coleman, 1988). In recent years, scholars both domestically and internationally have engaged in extensive discussions on how to leverage social capital to guide residents in initiating collective action spontaneously and promoting urban renewal in an orderly manner (Huang et al., 2023;Hui et al., 2021;Kong et al., 2024;Li et al., 2022aLi et al., , 2022b. Many studies have demonstrated that community social capital can, on the demand side, encourage cooperation among residents by eliminating individual differences (Chahardowli et al., 2020;Renzaho et al., 2012). ...
