Summary
Understanding Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) conflicts is crucial for Chinese governance. This study identifies key factors influencing NIMBY outcomes and proposes solutions for resident satisfaction and economic growth.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Public Policy
- Environmental Studies
Background:
- Growing public awareness in China has amplified Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) issues, creating public-government conflicts.
- Existing research lacks a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing diverse NIMBY outcomes.
- Effective decision-making requires understanding the drivers of NIMBY phenomenon to balance public interest and development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore diverse factors influencing NIMBY phenomenon outcomes in China.
- To identify pathways leading to the cancellation of NIMBY facilities.
- To propose actionable strategies for resolving NIMBY conflicts while fostering local economic development.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative comparative analysis using fuzzy sets (fsQCA).
- Analysis of 31 NIMBY cases in China from 2009 to 2021.
- Identification of causal configurations leading to specific NIMBY outcomes.
Main Results:
- Seven distinct pathways were identified that can lead to the cancellation of NIMBY facilities.
- Government credibility and social media engagement are critical for resolving NIMBY issues.
- Harmful facilities are more likely to face local government compromise, though this is not always optimal.
Conclusions:
- Constant compromise is insufficient; integrated approaches are needed for sustainable NIMBY conflict resolution.
- Proposed strategies include establishing multi-stakeholder systems, utilizing online platforms for engagement, and promoting scientific literacy.
- Implementing these strategies can enhance neighborhood satisfaction, ensure informed decision-making, and support local economic development.

01:10Qualitative Analysis
297
Qualitative analysis is the process of identifying elements, ions, or compounds in an unknown sample. It is the first and most fundamental type of analysis based on the hierarchy of analytical goals. This hierarchy is significant as it provides a structured approach to scientific research, with qualitative analysis serving as the initial step, providing essential information before moving on to quantitative or other forms of analysis.

02:30Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Sampling is a crucial step in analytical chemistry, allowing researchers to collect representative data from a large population. Common sampling methods include random, judgmental, systematic, stratified, and cluster sampling.
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
