The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included the construction of ecological civilization in the “Five-in-One” (economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological progress) general layout for socialism with Chinese characteristics. Based on the concept of ecological civilization, the authors build an evaluation indicator system from four dimensions, namely ecological economy, ecological society, resource and environment efficiency, and ecological culture and institutions, including 45 basic indicators of three levels. In order to test the validity and reliability of the indicator system, the paper uses 21 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province as examples to evaluate the comprehensive level of eco-civilization construction and the statuses of the four dimensions by the attribute hierarchy model. The evaluation results show various statuses and characteristics of cities in Guangdong Province. The cities of Shenzhen, Dongguan, Shaoguan, Guangzhou and Maoming are notable in ecological economy; Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Huizhou are prominent in ecological society; Heyuan, Zhaoqing, Shaoguan, Qingyuan and Meizhou are the top five cities with relatively high resource and environment efficiency; Foshan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou are the first five cities that perform well in ecological culture and institutions. The evaluation results are consistent with the actual situation of Guangdong Province, indicating the high reliability and validity of the four-dimensional evaluation indicator system for eco-civilization construction.

This paper constructs a quality evaluation indicator system of four systems: economy, society, culture and ecological civilization to measure their coupling relationship and coordination degree indicator, taking Henan province and Zhengzhou city as the research objects, and taking the panel data of 42 specific evaluation indicators from 2000 to 2019 as the evaluation sample. The results show that the biggest contributors to the development quality of economy, culture and ecological civilization of Henan province and Zhengzhou city are the total business volume of posts and telecommunications, the application number of patents, the proportion of investment in environmental pollution control in GDP respectively. During the period of 2000 to 2019, the comprehensive evaluation values of economy, society and culture development quality of Henan province and Zhengzhou city improved constantly, and the change trend were highly consistent, while the changes of that of ecological civilization development quality were far from each other. The coordination degree indicators of the four systems in Henan province and Zhengzhou city were very low, and they are in a state of low disorder at present.

A comprehensive evaluation indicator system is the basis of car sharing systems (CSS) evaluation. The purpose of this study is to introduce the principles and methods of indicator selection for CSS, and to identify indicators for evaluating car sharing systems due to the reason that the importance of indicators can never be overestimated in CSS evaluation. A framework to identify indicators for evaluating CSS is proposed with four steps. First of all, the structure for indicator selection is established with application of AHP method. Secondly, adequacy check and redundancy check are carried out to ensure the structure is adequate and redundant. Thirdly, underlying individual indicators are proposed according to questionnaires. Fourthly, to ensure the necessity, identification, and feasibility of indicators, we conduct N-I-F check. We carry out a case study of CSS evaluation indicators to validate the proposed framework from four dimensions: economic, environmental, systematic, and social. The proposed framework is quantitative and it is helpful in CSS evaluation to identify proper indicators and find out the best CSS option.

Along with industry upgrading and urbanization, the agricultural industry in China has been experiencing a stage of rapid development, on the bright side. On the other side, ecological environment deterioration and resource scarcity have become prevalent. Called by the current situation, circular agriculture arises as a direction for the industry to achieve sustainable development. This study develops an evaluation indicator system for circular agriculture using an entropy method, and evaluates factors that could drive the Chinese agricultural industry to achieve better performance. We employ the method using provincial data collected from the province of Henan, in which around 10% of the total grain in China is produced. It was found that agricultural technology and water resources per capita are positively related to circular performance in agriculture. In contrast, urbanization and arable land per capita are negatively related to circular performance. This article provides support to the government in policy-making related to the improvement of circular agricultural performance.

Baiyangdian Wetland

River system network (RSN) connectivity is important to maintain the environmental and ecological functions of wetlands. Quantitative evaluation of connectivity can provide crucial support for efforts to improve wetland connectivity and to restore and protect wetland ecosystems. Most existing evaluation methods uniformly generalise RSN to form an undifferentiated RSN of edges and nodes that is taken as a whole to evaluate the connectivity. However, actual RSNs comprise rivers, canals, ditches, lakes, and ponds, which differ substantially in their structures, morphologies, and attributes. The mix of RSN elements therefore defines grades that give RSNs distinctive characteristics. Moreover, RSNs with different grades perform different ranges of environmental and ecological functions. The existing evaluation methods, which have some limitations, do not account for these characteristics. To account for these differences, we examined the grade characteristics and their impact on environmental and ecological functions. We established a grading system of RSN elements and a grading method of RSN, and constructed the structural connectivity evaluation indicator system for RSNs at different grades. On this basis, we propose a method for grading evaluation of RSN connectivity. We used China’s Baiyangdian Wetland to demonstrate the use of the system and validate the results. The proposed method provided an objective and accurate evaluation of RSN connectivity and clarified the differences in connectivity among RSNs with different grades, thereby providing improved guidance for the development and maintenance of the environmental and ecological functions of RSNs.

Evaluation of online teaching quality has become an important issue because many universities are turning to online classes due to the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this paper, online teaching quality evaluation is considered as a linguistic multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. Generally, the evaluation sematic information can be symmetrically or asymmetrically distributed in linguistic term sets. Thus, an extended linguistic MAGDM framework is proposed for evaluating online teaching quality. As the main contribution, the proposed method takes into account the risk preferences of assessment experts (AEs) and unknown weight information of attributes and sub-attributes. To be specific, the Delphi method is employed to establish a multi-level evaluation indicator system (EIS) of online teaching quality. Then, by introducing the group generalized linguistic term set (GLTS) with two risk preference parameters, a two-stage optimization model is developed to calculate the weights of attributes and sub-attributes objectively. Subsequently, the linguistic MAGDM framework was divided into two stages. The first stage maximizes the group comprehensive rating values of teachers on different attributes to obtain partial ranking results for teachers on each attribute. The latter stage maximizes the group comprehensive rating values of teachers to evaluate the overall quality. Finally, a case study is provided to illustrate how to apply the framework to evaluate online teaching quality.

Disclosure of sustainability information is important for stockholders and governments. In order to evaluate the quality of sustainability information disclosure in heavily polluting industries, the quality of the disclosure is proposed to be evaluated from completeness, adequacy, relevance, reliability, normativeness and clarity aspects. The corresponding evaluation indicator system is constructed. Due to the ambiguity and complexity of the evaluation information, the intuitionistic fuzzy sets are applied to model the linguistic ratings. Entropy is used to derive the weight of experts, the object weight and the subject weight of the indicators. which are integrated when dealing with the evaluation information. The quality of sustainability information disclosure of seven representative companies in heavily polluting industries is evaluated. The importance of indicators and ranking of the companies are derived. Based on the evaluation results, the discussion and suggestions are also provided.
