No full textKey Barriers and Challenges to Green Infrastructure Implementation: Policy Insights from the Melbourne Case
Full text linkUrbanisation has resulted in significant environmental challenges, particularlythe phenomenon of urban overheating, with a significant increase in temperatures in urbanenvironments. To tackle the adverse impact of urban overheating, the implementation ofgreen infrastructure (GI) has been considered particularly effective. Although there arevarious benefits of GI for sustainable urban management, its widespread implementationfaces numerous challenges. To effectively scale up the deployment of GI, it is crucial todevelop political and institutional frameworks that are both responsive and adaptable tothe evolving complexities inherent in human–nature interactions. The barriers to implemen-tation are not merely technical but also embedded in organisational norms, social practices,and governance systems, which makes them particularly difficult to overcome. This paperidentifies five key categories of barriers: technical limitations, financial impediments, regu-latory constraints, weak political leadership, and governance and coordination challenges.Through a targeted literature review and a detailed case study of Melbourne, the paperexplores the city’s primary greening initiatives and examines how these barriers haveinfluenced implementation. By linking specific policy responses to each barrier, this studyprovides new insights into the institutional and policy dynamics affecting GI adoption. Thefindings offer lessons for other cities seeking to better implement nature-based solutionsthrough integrated and scalable GI strategies

Full text linkPurpose: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Strategies and Skill Learning and Development of Parent Capacity-Building Program in improving the parenting capacity of Chinese parents of children with special educational needs. Method: A total of 109 parents (mean age = 38.60 years old) were randomized into either an intervention or waitlist control group using block randomization. Results: The intervention group experienced significant improvements in parenting stress and parenting style when compared to the control group. The pooled analyses indicated that parents exhibited significant improvements in all outcome measures from pre- to post-intervention, and these improvements were sustained or further enhanced at the two-month follow-up. Moreover, the qualitative data further validated the program’s effectiveness, with participants reporting increased self-efficacy and decreased parental stress because of their participation. Discussion: This study highlights the potential of incorporating in vivo practice in parenting programs to empower parents to translate their knowledge into practice

Full text linkTransformational Leadership, Psychological Safety, and Concussion Reporting Intentions in Team-Sport Athletes
Full text linkBackground/Objectives: The present study examined the predictive relationships between transformational leadership, psychological safety, and concussion reporting intentions. Interviews were used to understand the impact of the coach and teammates on the team environment and how this might lead to greater concussion reporting in team-sport athletes. Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design. 233 team-sport athletes (n = 160 males, n = 73 females, mean age = 19.83 years, SD = 3.15) completed quantitative measures of transformational leadership, psychological safety, and concussion reporting intentions, while five participants (n = 2 males, n = 3 females, mean age = 18.40 years, SD = 0.55) were subsequently interviewed about their experiences. Results: Quantitative results indicated that transformational leadership predicted a psychologically safe environment (p < 0.001), and social norms for team-sport athletes predicted concussion reporting intentions (p < 0.001). Qualitative findings highlighted the important role that coaches and teammates play in creating an open environment that encourages concussion reporting. Education and awareness were also seen to further develop such an environment, while athletes identified several barriers to reporting symptoms of concussion. Conclusions: The findings from this study provide researchers and practitioners with preliminary evidence that can shape the design of interventions to support the development of a team environment that can promote concussion reporting and, thus, prioritise player healt
