Metaverse Technology in Cultural Heritage Communication of Global Cities: A Comparative Study of Kyoto, Mexico City, and Edinburgh

This study explores how metaverse tech (VR, AR, 3D modeling, blockchain artifacts) shapes cultural heritage communication (virtual exhibitions, immersive tours, interactive storytelling) in Kyoto (Japan), Mexico City (Mexico), Edinburgh (UK)—cities with rich cultural legacies. Using mixed methods (content analysis of 2,800 metaverse heritage artifacts, surveys of 3,600 global users, interviews with 30 practitioners), it identifies cross-cultural differences in metaverse adoption, engagement, and authenticity preservation. Results: Kyoto focuses on "traditional ritual immersion" (62% East Asian users); Mexico City on "indigenous heritage interactivity" (58% Latin American users); Edinburgh on "historical narrative integration" (45% European users). 78% of respondents accessed heritage they couldn’t visit in person. It develops a "Metaverse Heritage Communication Framework" for heritage orgs, policymakers, and developers.

Algorithmic Recommendation Systems and Adolescent Media Literacy in Global Cities: A Comparative Study of Toronto, Berlin, and Bangkok

This study explores how social media (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram) algorithmic recommendation systems (ARS) shape 13–17-year-olds’ media literacy (access, analyze, evaluate, create content) in Toronto (Canada), Berlin (Germany), Bangkok (Thailand). Using mixed methods—surveys of 4,500 adolescents, 180-participant focus groups, content analysis of 2,000 ARS videos—it identifies cross-cultural differences in ARS exposure, cognitive biases, and media literacy. Results: Berlin’s strict ARS regulation (e.g., EU Digital Services Act) and mandatory media literacy education bring the highest critical skills (78% spot algorithmic bias); Toronto (moderate regulation/optional education) has 65%; Bangkok (limited regulation/fragmented education) 42%. TikTok’s short videos lower analysis depth; YouTube’s longer ones boost fact-checking. It develops an “Algorithmic Media Literacy Framework” for educators, policymakers, developers.

Digital Media’s Role in Cross-Cultural Urban Branding: A Comparative Study of Tokyo, Dubai, and Singapore

This study explores how digital media shapes cross-cultural urban branding and public perception of Tokyo (Japan), Dubai (UAE), and Singapore. Amid globalization, urban branding attracts tourism, investment and talent, with digital media (social media, VR, influencer partnerships) as a key international channel. Using mixed methods (content analysis of campaigns, cross-cultural surveys, interviews with practitioners), it analyzes 3,500 digital artifacts (2021–2024) and 4,000 responses from 15 countries to identify cultural adaptability in branding and its impact on engagement. Results: Tokyo focuses on „traditional-modern fusion“ (popular in East Asia/West); Dubai on „luxury-innovation“ (strong in Middle East/South Asia); Singapore on „sustainability-efficiency“ (appeals to Southeast Asia/Europe). It develops a „cultural adaptability framework“ to help cities boost global reputation via digital media.

Social Media’s Role in Public Health Crisis Communication Across Global Cities: A Comparative Study of New York, Seoul, and Sydney

This study explores how social media influences public health crisis communication (pandemic response, infectious disease outbreaks, environmental health risks) in New York (USA), Seoul (South Korea), and Sydney (Australia). It uses a mixed-methods approach—content analysis of official posts, public perception surveys, interviews with communicators—to analyze 4,200 social media artifacts (2021–2024) and 3,600 public responses, focusing on cross-cultural strategy differences and impact on compliance. Results: Seoul emphasizes „collective responsibility“ (e.g., K-pop partnerships for vaccination), achieving 82% compliance; New York focuses on „individual choice/accessibility“ (e.g., free testing threads), with 68% compliance; Sydney prioritizes „science transparency“ (e.g., epidemiologist Q&As), with 75% compliance. Misinformation is most prevalent in New York (28%) and least in Seoul (12%). The study develops a „Crisis Communication Adaptability Framework“ to guide future city responses.

The Role of Media in Shaping Public Perception and Policy-Making During Urbanization in the Digital Age

This study explores the multifaceted role of traditional and digital media in influencing public perception of urbanization challenges (e.g., housing shortages, traffic congestion, environmental degradation) and driving policy-making across three countries: the United States, China, and Brazil. Using a mixed-methods approach (content analysis, surveys, and policy document review), we analyze 5,000 media texts (2021–2024) and 3,000 public responses to identify how media framing—such as “crisis-driven” vs. “solution-oriented”—shapes public trust in urban policies and government action. Results show that digital media (e.g., social media platforms, citizen journalism) amplifies marginalized voices in urban debates but also spreads misinformation about urban development projects, while traditional media (e.g., newspapers, television) maintains stronger credibility in policy explanation. Cross-country comparisons reveal that media-policy alignment is highest in China (due to state-media collaboration) but lowest in Brazil (due to media polarization), highlighting the impact of political systems on media’s policy influence. This research contributes to global communication studies by providing a cross-national framework for understanding media-urbanization-policy dynamics in the digital era.

Mathematical Optimization Methods for Urban Traffic Flow Management in Romania: A Data-Driven Approach

This paper explores the application of mathematical optimization methods (linear programming, genetic algorithms, and graph-based routing) in urban traffic flow management, with a focus on solving congestion mitigation and route efficiency issues in major Romanian cities. Using multi-source traffic data (2021–2023) from Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Iași, we construct a hybrid optimization model that integrates real-time traffic sensor data and historical travel time records. Empirical results show the model reduces peak-hour congestion duration by 28% in Bucharest’s city center and cuts average travel time by 19% on key arterial roads—outperforming traditional traffic management systems. The research provides a scalable mathematical framework for sustainable urban mobility in Romania, addressing unique challenges such as aging infrastructure and mixed traffic flows.

Application of Mathematical Methods in Urban Health Monitoring: A Data-Driven Perspective

This paper focuses on the application of mathematical methods in urban health monitoring, aiming to address challenges such as disease spread prevention, environmental health risk assessment, and public health resource scheduling in urban areas. By integrating graph theory, cluster analysis, and time-series analysis (core mathematical tools in data science), we establish a comprehensive urban health monitoring framework. Empirical research based on data from 15 megacities in China (2021–2023) shows that this framework can identify high-risk areas of chronic diseases with an accuracy of 87%, and provide early warnings of air pollution-related health risks 3–5 days in advance. The research offers practical tools for urban public health management and contributes to the development of data-driven urban governance.

Machine Learning for Urban Traffic Carbon Emission Prediction in Norway: A Case Study of Bergen

Norway’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 requires precise monitoring and prediction of urban traffic emissions, a major contributor to national greenhouse gas output. This study applies three machine learning models—Random Forest Regressor (RFR), Gradient Boosting Regressor (GBR), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN)—to predict hourly urban traffic carbon emissions in Bergen, using a 2022–2023 dataset integrating traffic flow, vehicle type (electric vs. conventional), meteorological conditions, and road network characteristics. Results show GBR outperforms other models: it achieves a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.28 kgCO/h, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.39 kgCO/h, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 5.23%. Compared to RFR and ANN, GBR reduces MAE by 18.8% and 24.3%, respectively. The model effectively captures emission variations from Norway’s high electric vehicle (EV) penetration (80% of new car sales in 2023) and provides actionable insights for Bergen’s traffic emission reduction strategies.
