PurposeThe paper, which is based on an integrated approach that is able to aid the comprehension of complex phenomena, aims to investigate innovative models and tools in the field of sustainability assessment of territorial transformations. The model has been applied to a real case study related to the choice of alternative projects for the requalification of a downgraded urban area in Turin (Italy).Design/methodology/approachThe work proposes the use of a comprehensive key environmental indicator framework and multi‐criteria analysis to evaluate the sustainability of different strategies. The evaluation has been performed through the application of the analytical network process (ANP) and by means of a set of indicators, which have been arranged according to the Driving Force‐Pressure‐State‐Impact‐Responses (DPSIR) framework. The assessment model provides priority lists of the importance of the considered indicators and alternatives. All the analysis elements are modelled with the ANP, taking into consideration the interconnections between the indicators and their respective cumulative importance.FindingsAccording to the aim of the paper, the most important element in the performed analysis refers to the variation of the well‐being of the population, followed by the changes in the accessibility and attractiveness of the area, then by the effects on the real estate market and the presence of new cycle tracks.Originality/valueThe work is the first study at a national level and one of the first applications at an international level in research concerning the use of the DPSIR framework integrated with an ANP analysis.

Strategic researches on green mine construction are of great theoretical and practical significance to the sustainable development of China's mining industry as well as the great-leap-forward development strategies of China. Strategies of green mine construction in China are methods summarized to solve all potential problems from mine production to ecological restoration. At present, strategies of green mine construction in China are not fully evaluated and studied yet. Therefore, on the basis of green mine construction related literatures carried out by researchers in China and abroad, this study took the green mine of Yongcheng City in China as the research object to evaluate the current situation of green mine construction in Yongcheng City and put forward corresponding countermeasures. First of all, driving force-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) model was introduced for the construction of evaluation index system; construction principles and selection methods of indexes and the index system based on driving force, pressure, state, impact and response were constructed. Secondly, principal component analysis (PCA) was adopted to calculate and evaluate data of green mine of Yongcheng City in recent years, and construction state of green mine in Yongcheng City was analyzed concretely according to the evaluation results. Empirical results showed that, the evaluation system constructed in this study was feasible, which could be applied to evaluate construction of green mine effectively.

Este artigo apresenta uma análise da aplicação dos principais indicadores socioeconômicos e ambientais no Modelo DPSIR (Força motriz/Pressão/Estado/Impacto/Resposta), com base em dados censitários do IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística) e outras instituições, a exemplo, do PNUD (Programa das Nações Unidas para o Desenvolvimento), FAO (Organização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação), CNM (Confederação Nacional dos Municípios), determinando sua influência nas áreas em riscos de desertificação nos municípios Araripina-PE, Crato e Barbalha-CE e Marcolândia-PI. Desta forma, identificou-se que as principais forças motrizes indicadoras da degradação ambiental na área de estudo estão relacionadas às atividades produtivas, dentre estas, a ocorrência acelerada do desmatamento com finalidades de implantação de atividades agropecuárias. Com relação à degradação ambiental dos principais recursos hídricos dos municípios, se relacionam a escassez de água, os múltiplos usos da água principalmente para irrigação e lazer, a poluição dos rios, destruição das matas ciliares, etc. Também se evidencia como principal força motriz das áreas em riscos a desertificação, a pecuária e a mineração, principalmente a exploração da gipsita no município de Araripina-PE, que aliadas às práticas agrícolas convencionais de agricultura têm colocado esses municípios em alto grau de riscos a degradação ambiental. Palavras-chave: Modelo DPSIR, riscos, desertificação.   Application of Socioeconomic and Environmental Indicators in the DPSIR Model (Driving Force / Pressure / State / Impact / Response) and Influences on Desertification in Municipalities of Araripina-PI, Crato and Barbalha –CE and Marcolândia -PI  ABSTRACT    This article presents an analysis of the application of the socioeconomic and environmental indicators in the DPSIR model (Driving force / Pressure / State / Impact / Response), based on census data from IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and other institutions, such, UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), FAO (UN Food and Agriculture), CNM (National Confederation of Municipalities), determining their influence in areas at risk of desertification in the municipalities Araripina-PE, Crato and Barbalha-CE and Marcolândia-PI. Thus, we identified that the main driving forces of environmental degradation indicator in the studies areas are related to productive activities, among these, the occurrence of accelerated deforestation for purposes of implementing agricultural activities. Regarding the environmental degradation of the main water resources of the municipalities, are related to water scarcity, the multiple uses of water mainly for irrigation and recreation, pollution of rivers, destruction of riparian forests, etc. It also highlights the main driving force of desertification risk areas, livestock and mining, particularly the exploitation of gypsum in the municipality of Araripina-PE, which allied to conventional agricultural practices of agriculture in these municipalyty have placed a high degree of risk of environmental degradation. Keywords: DPSIR model, risks, desertification.

<p>The presentation will summarize the main findings of the chapter “Water”[1] of the report “Climate and Environmental Change in the Mediterranean Basin – Current Situation and Risks for the Future”. This report was published in November 2020 and prepared by 190 scientists from 25 countries, who belong to the scientific network “Mediterranean Experts on Climate and Environmental Change”.</p><p>Water resources in the Mediterranean are scarce, unevenly distributed and often mismatching human and environmental needs. Approx. 180 million people in the southern and eastern Mediterranean countries suffer from water scarcity (<1000 m<sup>3</sup> capita<sup>-1</sup> yr<sup>-1</sup>). The main water use is for agriculture, and more specifically on the southern and eastern rim. Water demand for both tourism and agriculture peak in summer, potentially enhancing conflicts in the future. Municipal water use is particularly constrained in the south and will likely be exacerbated in the future by demographic and migration phenomena. Northern countries face additional risks in flood prone areas where urban settlements are rapidly increasing.</p><p>Climate change, in combination with demographic and socio-economic developments, has mainly negative consequences for the water cycle in the Mediterranean Basin, including reduced runoff and groundwater recharge, increased crop water requirements, increased conflicts among users, and increased risk of overexploitation and degradation. These impacts will be particularly severe for global warming higher than 2°C.</p><p>Adequate water supply and demand management offers some options to cope with risks. Technical solutions are available for improving water use efficiency and productivity, and increasing reuse. Seawater desalination is increasingly used as adaptation measure to reduce (potable) water scarcity in dry Mediterranean countries, despite known drawbacks in terms of environmental impacts and energy requirements. Promising solar technologies are under development, potentially reducing emissions and costs. Reuse of wastewater is a solution for agriculture and industrial activities but also recharge of aquifers. Inter-basin transfers may lead to controversies and conflicts. Construction of dams contributes to the reduction of water and energy scarcities, but with trade-offs in terms of social and environmental impacts.</p><p>Overall, water demand management, which increases water use efficiency and reduces water losses, is crucial for water governance for a sustainable development. Maintaining Mediterranean diet or coming back to it on the basis of locally produced foods and reducing food wastes may save water but also carbon emissions while having nutritional and health benefits.</p><div><br><div> <p>[1] <strong>Fader M.</strong>, Giupponi C., Burak S., Dakhlaoui H., Koutroulis A., Lange M.A., Llasat M.C., Pulido-Velazquez D., Sanz-Cobeña A.
