Rural landscape resources are important ingredients of rural revitalization and modernization in developing countries and regions. Evaluation methods play a crucial role in the development planning, design, transformation, and protection of these resources. However, there has been a lack of research on the evaluation of rural landscape resources, especially from the perspective of rural revitalization. Based on previous evaluation methods and expert consultations on landscape planning and design, we proposed a new approach for evaluating rural landscape resources by establishing a new index system and using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and probabilistic linguistic Cloud Model. To demonstrate its applicability and effectiveness, we applied our model to the case of a village (Xiapu) in Guangdong, China, determined the parameter set of its rural landscape resources, and obtained related results showing that the method is practical and can reflect the value of resources objectively and efficiently. Based on this model, further suggestions are provided to improve the design and other utilizations of rural landscape resources.

To solve the problems of urbanization and homogenization of landscape, loss of regional culture, and lack of overall planning in the landscape planning and design of Chinese villages in the context of urban-rural integration, by combining the Attraction-Validity-Capacity (AVC) theory with the design and planning of rural landscapes, constructing an AVC-based rural landscape evaluation indicator system, and combining Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and other methods, the relationship of rural planning to the vitality, attractiveness, and capacity of AVC theory is explored. Combined with the theory of AVC, the theoretical basis for the expression of regional culture in the planning and construction of rural landscape is put forward. The results show that after the construction of the AVC evaluation system for the special terrain and deep cultural heritage of Dang village in Hancheng City, Shaanxi Province, the comprehensive AVC score of Dang village landscape is 0.3121, and the comprehensive scores of attraction, vitality, and capacity are 0.3055, 0.2985, and 0.3381, respectively. In summary, it is concluded that although Dang village has a good cultural environment and profound background, it lacks reasonable development and orderly planning measures, resulting in the gradual loss of its unique regional culture. Finally, combined with the AVC evaluation and analysis results, suggestions for the follow-up construction planning of Dang village are put forward and applied to practical teaching research. The results can provide a reference for studying the expression of regional culture in landscape planning and design.

Hierarchy Process

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most favorable decision tools for dealing with complex decision-making problems. Probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) is an up-to-date tool to deal with uncertain information in the decision-making process. In this paper, we extend the AHP to the probabilistic linguistic environment for perfecting the modeling ability of AHP in various decision-making problems. In order to apply the PLTSs to the AHP properly, we first redefine the probabilistic linguistic comparison matrix (PLCM) and propose a new consistency index. Then, we propose a new approach to check and improve the consistency of the PLCMs. After that, we aggregate the individual PLCMs into the collective PLCM and derive the priorities of the collective PLCM. Finally, we combine the priorities with the decision matrix to complete the ranking of alternatives, and a case concerning the performance assessments of three new areas is given and the comparative analysis about the results is performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

It is commonly recognized that street spaces in high-density cities are able to cause negative impacts in terms of residents’ physical and mental health. This research intends to investigate and analyze how residents use street spaces in a high-density city in order to construct a healing environment for these street spaces. The research was conducted in Macao’s old town by using spatial syntax methods to define the research areas, and implemented on-site observations that evaluated the age of the residents in the space and the conditions of their usage of the space. The study collected data through expert grading and employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process to calculate the weight of each indicator in order to attain accurate and objective research outcomes. The evaluation results indicate that the current Macao street spaces are poor healing environments. By analyzing the effective factors for constructing a healing environment in these street spaces, so that residents can get more space for healing when they use it, the paper aims to provide a model example for those who are involved with city governance, planning and design.

The tourism pension in traditional villages is based on the rural agricultural production value and tourism cultural value as the attraction, relying on the natural landscape, human customs, historical buildings and other resources of traditional villages. With Madiping village as an example, through the surrounding economic factors, climate environment, comfort, leisure, entertainment, medical rehabilitation, spirit culture and service facilities of these seven factors questionnaire survey analysis, hierarchical structure model is established by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), it is concluded that the present stage tourism endowment patterns relations, weights of factors affecting peasant casual is the trend of the development of local tourism endowment. On the basis of qualitative research, based on the protection of the historical features of traditional villages, the principle of rural tourism, leisure and old-age care was created, and the planning and design of remote tourism and old-age care was carried out in combination with rural resources and environment, so as to achieve the purpose and significance of promoting rural economic revitalization and regional development.

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is designed to be learned and practiced as an essential component for employment preparation or occupational mobility. Learners aspire to utilize their ESP skills to enhance their occupational achievement and mobility. The objective of this study is to determine how to effectively enhance ESP learning to meet occupational needs with limited resources and time constraints. This study was conducted using an analytic hierarchy process to prioritize all factors of ESP enhancement plans among participants who often engage in staff acquisition, performance appraisal, and career development planning in the global business community. While aiming to enhance learners’ ESP level to improve their competitiveness in the workforce, this study considers four main criteria. Each criterion has sub-criteria/alternatives; these amount to 19 in total. The results show that among the four criteria, the main concerns of participants are the employees’ ESP proficiency certificate accreditation; and among the 19 sub-criteria/alternatives, the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) ranked the highest for achieving occupational mobility. All these factors can facilitate the determination and prioritization of the targets for ESP enhancement as well as for acquainting ESP practitioners with employers’ requirements and effectively meeting them by altering the lesson plans accordingly. Moreover, learners can strengthen their employment potential by using the ESP qualification to achieve a smoother career path.
