The Impact

Sustainable development is difficult to be achieved in mountain regions because of their sensitivity to climate change. The rapid development of mountain tourism worldwide during the last years makes the goal for sustainable mountain tourism even more challenging. Key factor to the development of mountain tourism in Europe was the function of ski centres. According to the spirit of the Brundtland Report ski centres are not in general sustainable, because they may have economic benefits but they negatively affect the other two pillars of sustainability: environment and society. The present paper focuses on a ski resort in Greece, attempting to assess the impact of mountain tourism on the sustainable development of the area. Ski resorts played a crucial role to the bloom of mountain tourism in Greece. Its evolution is a relatively recent phenomenon which has been affected by the economic crisis that afflicts the country in the past years. Demographic data compared with tourism indicators were used to assess the environmental impact of tourism in the area. Moreover, meteorological data were used in order to examine the correlation of climatic conditions and the number of visitors. The results show that the ski centre in Elatohori despite the economic benefits has a major environmental impact, especially because of the increased carbon emissions caused by the visitors of the area. Additionally, the climatic conditions (precipitation and temperature, especially the absolute maximum air temperature) affect the number of visitors.

The Impact

The climatic conditions, global environmental crises and disasters and the exacerbation of the pollution problem have prompted global economic and financial organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to reconsider traditional economic models, Which resulted from it the emergence of the concept of green economy. Which made the economy more efficient by increasing the productivity of used resources and directing investments towards sustainable management of natural resources to increase their economic and environmental productivity and their ability to create green jobs and support the poor to the maximum extent possible. Because of the modernity of this economy, developing countries requested not to impose a single model that includes developed and developing economies at the United Nations Conference (Rio + 20) held in the Brazilian capital, Rio de Janeiro in 2012, and the necessity to create a broad concept for a green economy that is flexible and takes into account the disparity in levels of economic development and transformation policies Towards a green economy. Many scientific studies have proven that the development of the relationship between man and the environment was characterized by an increase and an imbalance between environmental degradation and human progress. The earth, with all its surrounding organisms, is the natural home of man who gets it, and many studies and research revealed that the environments in which a person lives can be It causes an increase or decrease in stress on his body, as the uncomfortable environment causes feelings of anxiety or sadness in contrast to a comfortable environment, and a person finds pleasure in nature regardless of his age or culture, and more than two-thirds of people choose to be in a natural environment to get rid of psychological pressure and cure many diseases Psychological and physical. The research aims to activate the role of the green economy in achieving sustainable development and focus on the health aspect. To achieve the aim of the study, the descriptive and analytical approach was used to study the reality of the trend towards a green economy in Iraq and its role in achieving development. A quantitative approach is used to analyze and interpret the impact of the green economy on sustainable development. And through the benchmarks, it was found that there is a relationship between the sustainable development indicators and the green economy index.

Objectives: Food safety issues were related to residents’ consumption and health, but also related to the sustainable development of the e-commerce industry. With the rapid development of e-commerce and the continuous improvement of the consumption level of urban and rural residents, food safety issues present new risks and hidden dangers. Methods: This article’s research on the information traceability of food safety in the e-commerce environment will help improve the relevant research system and provide reference for relevant policy formulation. Based on the definition of related concepts and connotations, it constructs a theoretical and logical framework for the retrospective research of food safety information in an e-commerce environment, analyzes the path of food safety issues, and comprehensively analyzes the behavior selection and decision-making of food safety related stakeholders. Results: According to the research on the management and control mechanism of the impact of e-commerce on food safety, it is proposed that e-commerce can help improve the level of food safety control. Based on the results of the supervision and random inspection of e-commerce food safety samples, the current situation, and risks problems of food safety in the e-commerce environment are analyzed with combining the questionnaire survey data. Conclusion: The article built a food safety key traceability point system, determined the key traceability points of food safety in the e-commerce environment through AHP method, provided theoretical references for improving the food safety information traceability research in the e-commerce environment, and put forward corresponding policy recommendations.

The Internet is a popular form of information technology development in the new century, and it organizes and analyzes big data by taking effective measures to find useful information. With manpower, it is obviously not enough to be in such a huge information system, so the emergence of sustainable computing and artificial intelligence has become the core of large-scale data processing at this stage. This paper studies the application of the combined algorithm based on sustainable computing and artificial intelligence. In this paper, a new combined intelligent search algorithm is proposed by combining sustainable computing with artificial intelligence. The combination algorithm firstly analyzes the value from the aspects of ecological environment and economic benefits and studies the overall evaluation of sustainable development ability. Secondly, the energy analysis method is used to establish a reasonable comprehensive ecosystem and evaluate its impact on the sustainable development of environment and economy. Finally, the impact of resource consumption, wind speed detection, waste discharge, and utilization of renewable resources in a certain area is analyzed by simulation. Through the experimental results, on the one hand, it is proved that the data obtained by the combined algorithm are more accurate than the single algorithm; on the other hand, the combined algorithm can be further sublimated and widely used for other data detection. The combination algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively detect the required data and has high applicability.
