Housing is one of the most significant components of sustainable development; hence, the need to come up with sustainable housing solutions. Nevertheless, the sales of houses are steadily falling due to the unaffordability of houses to many people. Based on the expanded community acceptance model, this research examines the relationships between sustainable housing and quality of life with the moderating factors of knowledge, technology, and innovation in Shenzhen. Additionally, it aims to delineate the principal dimensions influencing quality of life. The study employs purposive sampling and gathers data from residents of Shenzhen via a Tencent-distributed survey. Analysis was conducted using Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) 4.0. Results indicate a positive correlation between economic sustainability in housing and quality of life. Contrarily, the social and environmental aspects exhibited negligible impacts on quality of life. Knowledge, technology, and innovation were identified as significant moderators in the correlation among all three sustainable housing dimensions and quality of life. The findings are anticipated to enhance understanding of the perceived impacts of sustainable housing on quality of life in Shenzhen and elucidate the role of knowledge, technology, and innovation in fostering this development.

The global ecological crisis has impacted the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) region, and due to the diverse geographical characteristics, the ecological problems in countries along the Belt and Road vary. Overcoming these environmental and ecological challenges is essential for advancing and genuinely implementing green development, and has become a practical necessity for building a “Green Belt and Road.” China, the creator of the Green “Belt and Road Initiative”, actively aligns with international environmental protection standards and plays a leading role in global ecological conservation efforts. China vigorously promotes the development of key policy documents for the Green Belt and Road, providing institutional support for the initiative’s environmentally friendly construction and development. Under comprehensive theoretical planning, various green practices have been implemented, including thematic in-depth research on the Green “Belt and Road” and the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development,” the establishment of the “International Green Development Coalition” along the Belt and Road, the implementation of overseas investment and green finance, and the proposal of the “Ten, Hundred, Thousand” initiative for South-South Cooperation on Climate Change. These green practices clearly indicate China’s commitment to building ecological civilization and its relentless efforts toward advancing the construction of a global ecological community with shared-benefits.

Building upon the cognition-affect-behavior model, this research aims to investigate the effect of greenwashing on consumers purchase intentions by testing the mediating effect of perceived betrayal and the moderating effect of brand loyalty. Data was collected through a questionnaire from 339 Chinese consumers involved in the fashion industry. AMOS 24 was employed to test the fitness of the proposed model, and the proposed hypotheses were tested through hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 23. The results indicate that greenwashing has a negative impact on consumer purchase intentions, with perceived betrayal partially mediating this relationship. Additionally, the findings show that brand loyalty can mitigate the adverse effects of greenwashing on consumer purchase intentions. The findings of this study enhance the existing knowledge on the relationship between greenwashing and consumer purchase intentions, particularly in the fashion industry, and have significant practical implications for companies in this sector aiming to increase consumer purchase intentions.

This article investigates how green logistics influences Vietnam’s trade balance with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. By using the gravity model, the article applies fixed effects (FEM) and random effects (REM) to analyze panel data on trade balance, GDP, population, trade openness, and the green logistics index of Vietnam with ASEAN countries from 2012 to 2018. The research findings indicate that green logistics has not significantly affected Vietnam’s export trade balance with ASEAN countries. The article suggests solutions for the Vietnamese government and export businesses to enhance Vietnam’s trade balance with ASEAN countries by integrating green logistics activities. By following these recommendations, Vietnam can ensure that international trade aligns with environmental conservation, laying the groundwork for sustainable and inclusive economic development in Vietnam.
