scholarly journals Evaluation on the Warning-Degree of the Ecological Carrying Capacity of Guangzhou City Based on the DPSIR Model

Evaluation on the ecological carrying capacity is related to the sustainable development of cities. The evaluation requires a scientific, reasonable and intuitive evaluation method system. In order to evaluate the ecological carrying capacity of Guangzhou city, based on the “Driving-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR)” model, this paper constructs a warning-degree evaluation index system for city, evaluates the ecological carrying capacity, judges the warning-degree of Guangzhou City from 2009 to 2018 by the method of entropy weight, and puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions to improve the city carrying capacity. The calculation result shows that the comprehensive index scores of the warning-degree evaluation of ecological carrying capacity of Guangzhou city are rising, the warning degree decrease from high to medium and low during the research period. Comparing each evaluation subsystem, there is a slight drop in the driving subsystem index scores, while pressure, impact and response index scores increase significantly. And the contribution proportion of each subsystem to the comprehensive index score is different. The pressure subsystem makes the biggest contribution. Therefore, Guangzhou should continue to encourage technological innovation, promote the use of clean production, implement energy conservation and emission reduction, and develop a green economy. The government should strengthen ecological and environmental protection legislation, and improve the economic policy system for ecological and environmental protection. The public should raise the environmental protection, ecological and participation awareness.

China has experienced an unparalleled urbanization process in recent decades, which has dramatically changed the water environment. Quantification of the water environment carrying capacity (WECC) is crucial given its importance to sustainable development. Existing studies have typically focused on the overall WECC system and lacked analysis of its internal features. In this study, the concepts, calculations, and classifications of the WECC were further developed. Using Nanjing, China, as a case study, we developed a hierarchical evaluation indicator system including three system layers (social, environmental and economic subsystems). We applied the entropy weight and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate the temporal variation tendency of WECC, and explored the deep-seated problems stemming from urbanization. The results indicated that WECC in Nanjing was 0.3045–0.5302 during 2006–2017, thus approaching a moderate grade with a relatively slow growth rate. Social, environmental, and economic subsystems increased by 29.3%, 83.1%, and 97.2%, respectively. Overall, Nanjing had a solid foundation regarding its economic subsystem, but its social and environmental subsystems were under pressure. Factors such as slow population growth as well as reduced energy and water use intensity improved WECC, whereas factors such as increased population density and excessive water consumption blocked WECC. Practical suggestions were proposed to resolve the primary problems of the WECC under urbanization. This holistic approach is urgently needed to achieve water environmental sustainability, both for Nanjing and for other emerging cities.

The risk factors in the safety evaluation of antifloating anchor system of underground structure have the characteristics of complexity, grey, and fuzziness. Based on the Delphi method, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and entropy weight method, this paper establishes a three-level evaluation index system based on four main risk factors and calculates the subjective and objective comprehensive weights of the index according to the comprehensive weighting method. It not only takes into account the valuable experience of the expert group but also reflects the objective impact of the subjective score on the system. On the basis of the above research, the grey-fuzzy safety evaluation method of antifloating anchor system is established by using the grey theory and the relevant theory of fuzzy mathematics. The reliability of the method is verified by an example, which has certain theoretical significance and application value.

The uneven temporal and spatial distributions and the unreasonable development and utilization of water resources have caused increasingly severe water resources shortage around the world. Studying on regional water carrying capacity is beneficial for the optimal management of water resources, and can provide assistance for the sustainable utilization of water resources. The typical karst area in China – Guizhou province was applied as the research area in the paper. Meanwhile, twelve indexes were selected from three perspectives including water supply, water demand and social economy to establish the evaluation index system of regional water carrying capacity. Afterwards, the analysis hierarchy process was utilized to construct the evaluation model of regional water resources carrying capacity, so as to evaluate, compare and analyze the regional water carrying capacity in each city of Guizhou province, China. This model verified the feasibility of the evaluation method. Relevant studies can provide certain theory evidence and method support for the investigation on regional water carrying capacity.

With the exploitation of coalfields, the eco-environment around the coalfields can become badly damaged. To address this issue, “mine greening” has been proposed by the Ministry of Land and Resources of China. The sustainable development of mine environments has now become one of the most prominent issues in China. In this study, we aimed to make use of Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8 OLI images obtained between 2005 and 2016 to analyze the eco-environment in a coalfield. Land cover was implemented as the basic evaluation factor to establish the evaluation model for the eco-environment. Analysis and investigation of the eco-environment in the Yuxian coalfield was conducted using a novel evaluation model, based on the biological abundance index, vegetation coverage index, water density index, and natural geographical factors. The weight of each indicator was determined by an analytic hierarchy process. Meanwhile, we also used the classic ecological footprint to calculate the ecological carrying capacity in order to verify the effectiveness of the evaluation model. Results showed that the eco-environment index illustrated a slowly increasing tendency over the study period, and the ecological quality could be considered as “good”. The results of the evaluation model showed a strong correlation with the ecological carrying capacity with a correlation coefficient of 0.9734. In conclusion, the evaluation method is a supplement to the time-series quantitative evaluation of the eco-environment, and also helps us to explore the eco-environment in the mining area.
