Due to rapid urbanisation over few decades, across the world, there is much stress on the infrastructure and transportation among the cities. For addressing issues of urban sprawl and congestion in the cities, transit oriented development (TOD) is emerging as an efficient mechanism. It principally aims for reducing car use and travel distances, by creating neighbourhoods with high density and pedestrian friendly and mixed-use design around transit stations. If effectively implemented, it can lead to sustainable development along the transit corridors. However, there are concerns, whether TOD will bring good quality of living for the residents near transit corridor. This study aims to understand the relationship between various parameters of TOD and its effect on livability in neighbourhoods near upcoming Metro corridors in Pune, India. The study tried to identify the various indicators of TOD. The effect of these indicators was analysed by applying a questionnaire survey of respondents along the metro corridor who would be the most affected due to the development. The analysis brought forth the factors affecting livability in the neighbourhood around the Metro corridor. This analysis will help to understand people’s perception, which can serve as initial reference point for sustainable planning process for future development under TOD.

This research aimed to investigate the differences between individual factors affecting quality of life (QOL) for people conducting community-based tourism (CBT). A sample size of 200 comprised people in CBT, Thailand. The data were collected to achieve the research objective by studying the personal profiles of people in CBT including sex, age, education, occupation and income affecting quality of life. Other factors included physical conditions of individuals, psychological state, perception of the relationship between individuals and others and environment. The research employed descriptive and inferential statistics, the F test (one-way ANOVA), to evaluate the data. The results revealed that only education factor significantly differed at level 0.05. Conversely, the factors sex, age, occupation and income showed no significant differences at level 0.05. The result of a study indicates educational level was essential for QOL. Therefore, education, as the most significant factor, should be set as a priority to lead the planning process in various aspects of QOL. Even the community and society need to focus on educational factors leading to a higher QOL. The contribution of this research was to enhance education in society, particularly in CBT to all individuals in the community to obtain greater opportunity to equally access education.

PurposeStrategic planning is the best tool for managers seeking an informed presence and participation in the market without surrendering to changes. Strategic planning enables managers to achieve their organizational goals and objectives. Hospital goals, such as improving service quality and increasing patient satisfaction cannot be achieved if agreed strategies are not implemented. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting strategic plan implementation in one teaching hospital using interpretive structural modeling (ISM).Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a descriptive study involving experts and senior managers; 16 were selected as the study sample using a purposive sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire designed and prepared based on previous studies. Data were analyzed using ISM.FindingsFive main factors affected strategic plan implementation. Although all five variables and factors are top level, “senior manager awareness and participation in the strategic planning process” and “creating and maintaining team participation in the strategic planning process” had maximum drive power. “Organizational structure effects on the strategic planning process” and “Organizational culture effects on the strategic planning process” had maximum dependence power.Practical implicationsIdentifying factors affecting strategic plan implementation is a basis for healthcare quality improvement by analyzing the relationship among factors and overcoming the barriers.Originality/valueThe authors used ISM to analyze the relationship between factors affecting strategic plan implementation.

Urban sprawl worldwide warrants the use of large quantities of industrial and household products containing phthalic acid esters (PAEs) resulting in adverse impacts on the quality of aquatic life in urban watercourses. The presence of six PAEs (dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and di(n-octyl) phthalate (DnOP)) in 22 shallow urban watercourses in Colombo and suburbs of Sri Lanka was investigated. The average concentrations of DEP, DBP, BBP, and DEHP in all watercourses varied between 2.5–265.0, 1.0–32.0, 61–108, and 12–165 µg/L, respectively. DMP and DnOP were below the limits of quantification (DMP-0.5 µg/L, DnOP-1.0 µg/L) for all watercourses. DEHP was the most abundant PAE in many watercourses. The significant factors affecting the ubiquitous presence of PAEs in watercourses are the inherent properties of each PAE, presence of industrial and household products with great potential for the migration of PAEs in the sub-catchments, and quality of the receiving water. The contamination levels of PAEs in most of the watercourses are alarmingly high, as evidenced by higher concentrations of DEHP and DBP than those of Canadian permissible levels for the protection of aquatic life (16 and 19 µg/L). This study was the first effort in Sri Lanka to investigate the presence of PAEs in urban watercourses.

Smart home and artificial intelligence technologies are developing rapidly, and various smart home products associated with artificial intelligence (AI) improved the quality of living for occupants. Although some studies discussed the application of artificial intelligence in smart homes, few publications fully considered the integration of literature and products. In this paper, we aim to answer the research questions of “what is the trend of smart home technology and products” and “what is the relationship between literature and products in smart homes with AI”. Literature reviews and product reviews are given to define the functions and roles of artificial intelligence in smart homes. We determined the application status of artificial intelligence in smart home products and how it is utilized in our house so that we could understand how artificial intelligence is used to make smart homes. Furthermore, our results revealed that there is a delay between literature and products, and smart home intelligent interactions will become more and more popular.

The Relationship

Housing affordability has been one of the most persistent national concerns in the United States, mainly because housing costs are the biggest item in most household budgets. Urban sprawl has been proved by previous studies to be a driver of housing affordability. Previous studies, however, were structurally flawed because they considered only costs directly related to housing and ignored the transportation costs associated with a remote location. This study sought to determine whether, after transportation costs were taken into account, urban sprawl was still affordable for Americans. Multilevel modeling and the recently released location affordability indexes (LAIs) and metropolitan compactness indexes tested the relationship between sprawl and housing affordability. By controlling for covariates, this study found that in compact areas, the portion of household income spent on housing was greater but the portion of income spent on transportation was lower. Each 10% increase in a compactness score was associated with a 1.1% increase in housing costs and a 3.5% decrease in transportation costs relative to income. The combined cost of housing and transportation declined as the compactness score rose. As metropolitan compactness increased, transportation costs decreased faster than housing costs increased, creating a net decline in household costs. This is a novel finding, conditioned only on the quality of the data on which the LAI is based.

Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between moral distress and the quality of nursing care.Methods: This cross-sectional correlation study included nurses working at oncology nursing units of two secondary general hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, Korea. A total of 207 nurses participated. Moral distress was measured by the Moral Distress Scale-Revised Nurse Questionnaire and quality of nursing care was evaluated by the Quality of Oncology Nursing Care Scale. Data were collected from October 5 to 31, 2018. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.Results: The quality of oncology nursing care showed a negative correlation with moral distress (r=-.19, <i>p</i>=.007). The factors affecting the quality of oncology nursing care were religion (β=-.22, <i>p</i>=.001), clinical experience in oncology units (β=.27, <i>p</i>=.007), and moral distress (β=-.16, <i>p</i>=.018). Moral distress showed a statistically significant predictive power of 13% in the regression model (F=8.70, <i>p</i>=<.001).Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that management of moral distress is important to increase the quality of oncology nursing care.
