  • Dec. 5, 2023: We published a paper on the associations between mixed land use(MLU) and subjective well-being(SWB). We find that MLU has a negative and indirect association with SWB by decreasing social capital in residential neighborhoods, while it has a positive and indirect association with SWB by enhancing social capital in workplace neighborhoods with adjustments for other built environmental and sociodemographic attributes. This paper is now available on Travel Behaviour and Society.

  • Nov. 20, 2023: We published a paper on local carbon emission zone construction. This study constructed the local carbon emission zone (LCEZ) which links the highly urbanization morphology profiles and CO2 emission intensity to favor summarizing the form characteristics for the low CO$_2$ emission control in new communities. This paper is now available on Building and Environment.

  • Nov. 08, 2023: We published a paper on a bikeability evaluation framework by combining the collected multi-source spatio-temporal geospatial big data. We propose a framework that comprises four sub-indices: safety, comfort, accessibility, and vitality. Utilizing open-source data, advanced deep neural networks, and GIS spatial analysis, the framework eliminates subjective evaluations and is more efficient and comprehensive than prior methods. The experimental results on Xiamen, China, demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework in identifying areas for improvement and enhancing cycling mobility. The proposed framework provides a structured approach for evaluating bikeability in different geographical contexts, making reproducing bikeability indices easier and more comprehensive to policymakers, transportation planners, and environmental decision-makers. This paper is now available on International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation. The Wechat article is now abailable here.

  • Nov. 01, 2023: We published a paper on the development of age-sex-ethnicity-specific MetS score to redict future risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).We find that the weights of metabolic dysfunctions in the score vary across age-sex-ethnicity-specific subgroups, with higher weights for TG, HDL-C, and WC. Each unit increase in the score is associated with increased risks for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension, and elevated levels of HbA1c, cholesterol, body mass index, and serum uric acid. The score shows high sensitivity and accuracy for detecting CVD-related risk factors and is validated in different geographical regions. Our study would advance early identification of CVD risks and, more broadly, preventive medicine and sustainable development goals. This paper is now available on Nature Communications. The Wechat article is now abailable here. The developed online shiny app could be used by clicking it.

  • May. 19, 2023: Shaoqing Dai was invitied to give a lecture entitled ‘Seeking your interest and going ahead will contribute to success’ in Xiamen No.1 High School of Fujian.

  • Mar. 2, 2023: The spatil issue of Obesity Reviews was invited to attend the The Lancet Summit Childhood obesity: consequences across the life course. The abstract was published on The Lancet Global Health.

  • Feb. 22, 2023: Our paper entitled ‘Green space access in the neighbourhood and childhood obesity’ has been recognized as a top cited paper between January, 1, 2021 to December, 15, 2022.
