Abstract:
Human welfare is increasingly affected by the climate change impacts where more scientific evidence has pointed to a significant human contribution as the most contributing factors. Lately, the concept of ‘carbon-capability’ has been proposed recently to get the relative meanings related to carbon and individual power and enthusiasm to cut emissions. Thus, this paper aims to present a review ofthe theoretical framework and identifies the need for more specific components underlying the community carbon-capability. This study analyzes by using content analysis and based in part on related earlier study. The paper concludes thatcommunity carbon-capability framework's ability to help in reducing climate change impactsand highlighted the vital to understanding community engagement with overall climate change issues in Malaysia.

Abstract:
An integrated research method was used to discuss the issue of construction of low carbon community. It was thought that the community construction scale includes land use scale and dimension size, which not only involves the efficiency of people's daily life, but also the consumption of all kinds of resources like energy in the whole life cycle in the operation of the community. What was put forward is that, for the determination of space scale of the community, we should consider the population agglomeration scale and transportation conditions and also give attention to the operating efficiency and maintenance resources. Conclusion: the community space of medium size is the ideal community scale to achieve low carbon community.

Abstract:
As the major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, cities have been under tremendous pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction for decades. Community is the main unit of urban housing, public facilities, transportation, and other properties of city's land use. The construction of low-carbon community is an important pathway to realize carbon emission mitigation in the context of rapid urbanization. Therefore, an efficient carbon accounting framework should be proposed for CO2emissions mitigation at a subcity level. Based on life-cycle analysis (LCA), a three-tier accounting framework for the carbon emissions of the community is put forward, including emissions from direct fossil fuel combustion, purchased energy (electricity, heat, and water), and supply chain emissions embodied in the consumption of goods. By compiling a detailed CO2emission inventory, the magnitude of carbon emissions and the mitigation potential in a typical high-quality community in Beijing are quantified within the accounting framework proposed. Results show that emissions from supply chain emissions embodied in the consumption of goods cannot be ignored. Specific suggestions are also provided for the urban decision makers to achieve the optimal resource allocation and further promotion of low-carbon communities.

Abstract:
To develop low-carbon tourism attraction is conducive to the transformation of tourism industry’s development mode. It can also help China to take the carbon-reducing responsibility in the world, reduce carbon emission and develop low-carbon economy and society. This paper takes Beijing Badachu Park as the case study to analyze the relationship between the development of low-carbon tourism attraction and the tourists’ low-carbon cognition. It shows that there’re two kinds of low-carbon cognition, one is “to know it” and the other is “to do it”. But the reality is there always has some inconformity between consciousness and behavior in low carbon tourism which is bad for the construction of tourism attractions. This article put forward some suggestions to solve this problem: “hardware” transformation, scientifically planning and management, to intervene tourists’ low carbon cognition through “attraction also community” ways, etc.

Abstract:
Low-carbon community (LCC) has recently attracted attention of many researchers and tackled the government attention from various countries, which ones may give different interpretations on the concept. Thus, awareness of low carbon behavior among residents should be accurately measured. But first, residents’ need to have a thorough understanding of what is the real definition of low-carbon awareness and behavior. This paper proposed an analysisof low-carbon awareness and low-carbon behavior concepts. We first divide the types of residents’ low-carbon main concepts into two categories; low carbon awareness and low carbon behavior through which the components to each category are identified. Then we provide a systematic comparison of allthree most frequently mentioned components in low-carbon awareness including low-carbon value, low-carbon attitude, low-carbon knowledge and finallyabout low-carbon behavior.The residents’ low-carbon awareness-behavior gap will then beingidentified and discussed.Finally, differences and similarities among the two residents’ concepts have been summarized.

Abstract:
Promoting the sharing of idle resources to community residents is a potential means to building a low-carbon community. This study examined three communities with different attributes (college/university, middle and high income, and the elderly). An extended hypothesis model was constructed based on the theory of planned behavior. The influencing factors of community residents facing idle resource-sharing services were explored. Based on the equal sampling method, 100 questionnaires were randomly distributed in each community to verify the validity of the hypothesis model. The results show that residents’ attitudes, subjective behavioral norms, perceived behavioral control, service expectations, and environmental motivations positively influence residents’ behavioral intention to share their idle resources. The residents’ service expectations for idle resource-sharing are the most critical. Moreover, in terms of community attributes, its attitudes, subjective behavioral norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence residents’ behavioral intention to share idle resources. Specifically, the attitudes in the middle- and high-income community have opposite effects on residents from the attitudes in the college/university community and the elderly community. The hypothesis model proposed in this study provides a reference for building a low-carbon community from the perspective of residents’ restriction of resource-sharing.

Abstract:
Urban green space is the sole natural carbon sink without energy consumption. Carbon sequestration capability of plant and soil depends on plant species and community structure in some content. In this paper, some studies on screening ornamental plants according to the capability of carbon absorption and sequestration and their impact on soil organic carbon were reviewed. In the whole, these results are not comprehensive and more researches need be explored. Some methods of plant landscape design were put forward, such as multistoried community structure, protection of urban natural vegetation, productive urban landscape and shading or blocking wind for building, which are very effective to filter out ornamental plant with high capability of carbon fixation and to construct rational plant landscape for low-carbon urban green space.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the Heideggerian terms Zuhanden and Vorhanden to studies of community low carbon transitions. It sets apart Zuhandenheit community as involvement: the doing, enacting and belonging aspects of community movements and activism. Vorhandenheit community contrastingly is observed: community as an object at arm's length, to be studied, tasked or used. The article builds on authors, particularly Malpas, who have utilised these concepts in spatial theory by adopting their associated spatialisation of involvement and containment. After introducing this theoretical understanding, the article addresses the case of a Transition initiative in receipt of government funding, where both Vorhanden and Zuhanden subjectivities can be found. Through focusing on this specific Transition project, we can more clearly grasp both the tensions emerging from state-funded community and the limits to, and possibilities for, appreciating community action phenomenologically.

Abstract:
Tracking Progress is the first national index of Australia’s progress towards a low carbon economy. With increasing business and community focus on how best to transition to a low carbon future, it is critical to have a robust measurement and evaluation framework for low carbon activity. ClimateWorks Australia has undertaken a detailed analysis of activity occurring across the Australian economy that reduces or avoids greenhouse gas emissions, pulling together the available information and data across key sectors: power, industry, buildings and land-use, and waste. In addition ClimateWorks has produced a special report on factors influencing large industrial energy efficiency.

Abstract:
Low carbon development mode meet requirements of urban green landscape and green landscape properties. According to green landscape, plant settlement, design implementation and low carbon development, we proposed three pieces of advice, which including ecological network construction of public green system, plant community carbon layers, seamless docking between plant landscape and grounding interface. Then we establish low carbon evaluation system for landscape through balancing low carbon ecological effect, aesthetic value, social value, so as to providing means for the construction of urban landscape planning low carbon development.

Abstract:
The goals to reduce 50% of global carbon emissions by 2050 require fully participation from various components of the local community. Therefore, this study has been conducted to explore the prospects of the Klang Valley area towards Low Carbon Cities (LCC) based on the perception, level of readiness and limitations in community participation. Klang Valley is selected as the area of observation due to its rapidly growing population and economic sector. This study adopted qualitative approach using in-depth semi-structured interview instrument and the data was analyzed using thematic analysis. 8 themes appeared in the analysis which are the themes of definition, criteria and sources of carbon emissions under the dimension of public perception; the themes of practice and awareness under the dimension of community readiness; and the themes of incentives, politics and awareness under the dimension of the limitation of community participation. All themes indicated that changing of the lifestyle of the individual towards energy saving in daily activities is prime important to achieve the LCC goal. In conclusion, the prospect for Klang Valley to become a low carbon city in regard to the dimensions of community perception, awareness and partipation limitation is high.

Abstract:
In recent years, in order to promote the construction of low-carbon communities (LCCs) in China, many scholars have proposed an evaluation indicator system of LCC. The existing indicator systems are mostly established from the macro perspective of environmental impact and resource conservation, but few are from the micro technical perspective. Thus, the aim of this study is to construct a micro technical evaluation indicator system for LCCs. Firstly, the index system was divided into three categories: low-carbon building, low-carbon transportation, and low-carbon environment. Then, the technical indicators were selected through empirical analysis. The indicator weights were assigned by the improved analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was used as the evaluation method of the indicators. Finally, in order to examine the practicality of the indicator system, two typical communities in Tianjin and Shanghai were selected as case studies. The results showed that the indicator system gave a reasonable low-carbon level for the two communities, which was in line with the actual low-carbon construction status of each community. In addition, the evaluation results pointed out that the low-carbon community (LCC) in Tianjin needs to further strengthen the construction of the low-carbon environment, including community compactness, rainwater collection and utilization, and waste recycling. For the LCC in Shanghai, it was pointed out that the construction of the low-carbon building and low-carbon transportation needs to be strengthened. The indicator system can be used as a tool for urban planning and construction personnel to evaluate the construction progress and low-carbon degree of LCC.

Abstract:
The low-carbon planning of towns should build up the low-carbon ecology as its compilation concept, emphasize the concept of low-carbon economic system and urban low-carbon planning, and explain the planning strategy from town planning, overall planning, controlled planning with details, the design guide of downtown and the schemes of important projects etc.. The town planning emphasizes the technology applications of the industry system of low-carbon economic park, low-carbon energy system, low-carbon traffic system, low-carbon logistics system and carbon sink system etc.. The overall planning pays more attention to the design of low-carbon economic system, the grasp of whole form of low-carbon economic park, the using form and layout of the area, the plan and design of road system. The controlled planning with details and the design guide of downtown emphasize the technology application of planning design of reducing carbon emission, the study of living mode of low-carbon city, the planning of living community and technology study of the design of low-carbon compilation. The purpose of it is building up the planning mode of low-carbon ecological town.
