Recent years have shown an increasing interest in local factors shaping the happiness or attachment of citizens in regard to their daily living environment, sometimes also coined city love or neighborhood love. This new strand of literature—often framed in the context of the “geography of happiness” or the “economics of happiness”—means an extension of quantitative socio-psychological or socio-economic research on determinants of people’s affection for their living environment, including local quality-of-life, sense of community, place-based social capital, attachment to “urban ambiance,” and so on. The present paper conceptualizes the nature and composition of urban characteristics of place attachment and appreciation ( city love) in terms of two constituent factors, viz. city soul (indicators on the perceived intangible attractiveness of the city and its neighborhoods) and city body (indicators reflecting the tangible attractiveness features of the city). This analytical approach will empirically be tested for four Swedish cities. Resident surveys were conducted among a total of 2,573 respondents; the multidimensional relationships between outcome variables and background factors were tested through a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM), which revealed significant effects of Aesthetics, Amenities, Accessibility, Safety and Health, and City Image on place attachment and appreciation (“city love”). A more detailed city level analysis revealed salient place-specific differences. In general, Aesthetics seemed to be the most universal driver for city love, while City Image was the most important factor to contribute to city soul.

The objective of this research is to be able to identify the organization silence attitudes of the employees working at the hotels being operated in the city of Rize. For this purpose, questionnaire was applied to 228 employees functioning at the hotels. The data obtained have been analyzed with LISREL program. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis oriented towards determining the organizational silence behaviors of those who have taken part in the survey, favorable significant differences have been identified among the factors of organizational silence behavior. In this context, it has been determined that the most effective variable of "I think that my managers would not listen to my ideas" at a rate of .84 on the factors of Managerial and Organizational Reasons; at a rate of .83 on the factor of the Work – Related Topics "Public speaking can lead to loss of my job" variable; at the rate of .84 on the factor of Lack of Experience of “Since my position I am in is a lower level, my notification of an idea is disregarded” variable; at a rate of .84 on the factor of Isolation Factor “Reporting an issue may reduce confidence and respect felt to me" and at a rate of .87 on the factor of Fear Regarding Harming the Relationships “When I tell the problems, my relationships are damaged” variable. In addition, it has been observed that the Work – Related Topics factor had an influence at the rate of .93 between the factors of Fear of Isolation and Fear of Damaging the Relationships and the factors of Lack of Experience and Fear of Damaging the Relationships had an impact at the rate of .93 between each other.

This paper aims to examine the determinants of smart-city commitment across individuals from Bahía Blanca, Argentina. Literature has identified different factors explaining citizens’ commitment to smart cities, such as education, age, labor condition, and other more subjective factors, such as trust and awareness about the smart-city concept. A mediator factor of smart commitment is e-readiness or digital readiness, that is, the level of preparedness to properly exploit internet opportunities such as e-government and e-commerce. To achieve this goal, we used a survey conducted on 97 citizens (followers of the Moderniza Bahía Facebook) from the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina. By estimating a structural equation model, we found that higher levels of ICT use are associated with higher levels of smart-city commitment and that higher awareness of the smart-city concept is related to higher levels of smart-city commitment. Sociodemographic factors such as age and labor condition also explain ICT use.

This study examines local residents’ place attachment (PA) to the city or town they live and investigates how this attachment influences their perceptions and support for tourism development (ST), as well as comparing the differences of these relationships among the city and town residents in a linear World Heritage Site (WHS) setting. Structural equation model was used to analyze samples of 226 city residents and 235 town residents along the Grand Canal Yangzhou Section, China. The findings suggested that residents’ PA is positively correlated their ST. Results also suggested that the PA-ST effect is partially mediated by residents’ positive perceptions in the city area while fully mediated by residents’ positive and negative perceptions in the town areas. This study could help local governments make heritage development and management policies accordingly for cities and towns along the Grand Canal area.

Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pengaruh dan besaran berbagai variabel kesehatan dan kualitas kehidupan kerja terhadap kinerja perawat di Rumah Sakit Umum (RSU) Tangerang. Variabel kesehatan tersebut meliputi sejarah kesehatan keluarga, lingkungan kehidupan, perilaku gaya hidup, dan status kesehatan perawat. Desain penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah desain potong lintang. Data dianalisis dengan pendekatan Structural Equation Model (SEM) menggunakan software Smart-PLS. Populasi yang diamati adalah perawat yang bertugas di semua pelayanan RSU Tangerang dengan 250 perawat terpilih sebagai sampelyang dilakukan secara multistage random sampling. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kinerja perawat di RSU Tangerang dipengaruhi oleh semua variabel, yang berarti model teoritis yang diusulkan pada penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai variabel prediktor. Pada model, variabel kualitas kehidupan kerja perawat merupakan variabel prediktor terbesar yang memengaruhi kinerja perawat. Dengan demikian, variabel kinerja perawat dipengaruhi oleh banyak variabel dengan pengaruh yang relatif kecil (6,16%). Intervensi terhadap semua variabel yang ditawarkan pada penelitian ini akan memberikan hasil yang kecil terhadap kinerja perawatsehingga memerlukan intervensi tambahan pada variabel lain.Kata kunci: Kinerja perawat, kualitas kehidupan kerja, kesehatanAbstractThis study aims to see the effect and magnitude of health variables and variable of the quality of work life on the performance of nurses working in Tangerang General Hospital.

Muslims are required to always consume halal food in accordance with Islamic orders. Halal awareness, halal certification, food ingredients composition, halal marketing and religiosity can influence consumer behavior, especially on product purchase intention. Not all food products have been labeled halal, especially the imported products. This study aims to look at the effect of halal awareness, halal certification, food ingredients composition, halal marketing and religiosity on the purchase intention of imported food products in Muslim consumers in the city of Semarang by using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results of the analysis show that halal awareness, halal certification, food ingredients composition, halal marketing and religiosity have a positive and significant effect on imported food products purchase intention.
