Less controlled development at Chenang Beach created an unhealthy environment in the area. In fact, most of the built buildings are not approved by the local agencies. Hence, the purpose of this study is to identify the impact of development received by the community based on the effectiveness of development at Chenang Beach. Using stratified and systematic random sampling methods, this study was conducted in five villages within Chenang Beach area. Questionnaire were set up and distributed to 368 respondents. The findings show that there is a significant and negative relationship between the location of development and the impact of development. Whereas, in terms of planned development projects, the findings show that there is no relationship between the development project and the impact of development. However, the study also revealed significant finding, that is, when more areas are being developed, the acceptance among the local community are declining. In addition, this study also shows that development projects undertaken by the government or the private sector do not affect the society as a whole. Therefore, the need for planning and development begins from the aspirations of the local community so that the development implemented has a positive impact on society.

Based on the panel data of 277 cities between 2003 and 2017 and a unique city-level dataset of green patent applications, this study employs the difference-in-differences (DID) method to evaluate the effect of China’s carbon emission trading scheme (ETS) pilots on urban green innovation. The findings indicate that China’s ETS pilots have a positive impact on urban green innovation, and that impact is more significant for municipalities than for prefecture-level cities. Furthermore, the impact on different categories of urban green innovation is heterogeneous. More specifically, China’s ETS pilots have significantly spurred urban green innovation that is closely related to energy conservation and emission reduction, including alternative energy production, transportation, energy conservation and so forth. Moreover, the facilitating effect of China’s ETS pilots on urban green innovation suffers from a lagging effect, which began to show a significant positive effect in 2016. Overall, this paper identifies the effect of China’s ETS pilots on urban green innovation, and suggests that the government should consider the heterogeneity of urban green innovation when designing national ETS policies.
