Abstract:

Scientifically assessing the environmental carrying capacity (ECC) based on an evaluation of environmental quality standards (EQSs) holds great significance for establishing a long-term monitoring and early warning mechanism for resources and environmental carrying capacity (RECC) and for coordinating the sustainable development of ecological environments and regional economies. However, it remains unclear whether the evaluation of EQSs based on the short board effect is suitable for environmental assessments under different natural environments. In this research, Xinjiang is used as a case study. Based on the evaluation of EQSs, the atmospheric environmental carrying capacity (AECC), water environmental carrying capacity (WECC) and comprehensive environmental carrying capacity (CECC) are assessed using the short board effect and the weighted average. Additionally, the suitability of ECC evaluation in RECC evaluation is discussed. The results show the following: (1) In the atmosphere, the overload of inhalable particles (PM10) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is more serious, while in water, the overload of total nitrogen (TN) is more serious. (2) The percentages of the AECC, WECC and CECC in overloaded counties and cities based on the short board effect are 84%, 45%, and 51%, respectively, while the percentages based on the weighted average are 32%, 6% and 7%, respectively. (3) The extreme effects of a single pollutant can be eliminated by the weighted average, which is more suitable for environmental assessments in Xinjiang. (4) In evaluating RECC monitoring and early warning systems, weighted average evaluation is used to assess the elements, and short board effect evaluation is used in the comprehensive integration to prevent the influence of the amplification of a single index. Thus, the interference of non-key factors in the regional system on the final evaluation results is reduced.

Abstract:

In order to realize the evaluation of regional comprehensive disaster reduction capacity in a complex environment, an evaluation model of regional comprehensive disaster reduction capacity in a complex environment based on remote sensing monitoring and data image feature analysis is proposed. According to the geographical location and scale of disaster spots and the parameter analysis of the model of disaster-bearing bodies around the disaster spots, the remote sensing monitoring method is adopted to extract the geographical remote sensing images of regional disaster spots in a complex environment. The collected geographical remote sensing images of regional disaster points under the complex environmental background are filtered and preprocessed, and the texture parameters of the geographical remote sensing images of regional disaster points under the complex environmental background are recognized by combining the method of image texture feature extraction. Based on the method of tone mapping, the rapid filtering and feature analysis of the geographical remote sensing images of regional disaster points under the complex environmental background are carried out, and the time, position, damage, and so on in the geographical remote sensing images of regional disaster points under the complex environmental background are analyzed. By using the method of parameter analysis and gradient operator operation, a comparison model of geographical remote sensing images of regional disaster points under the complex environmental background is established, and the reliability evaluation of regional comprehensive disaster reduction ability under the complex environmental background is realized according to the method of contrast and detail significance enhancement. The test shows that this method has high accuracy in evaluating regional comprehensive disaster reduction capability under a complex environment, high accuracy in marking the geographical location of regional disaster points under a complex environment, and good fusion performance and reliability of regional comprehensive disaster reduction capability evaluation parameters.

Abstract:

The problems of regional resource shortage, fragile ecological environment and unbalanced social development are becoming increasingly serious. There is an urgent need for rational evaluation and planning of resources and the environment. This paper presents a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and shortcoming element evaluation to analyze the resource and environmental bearing capacity of a certain region. The proposed model was verified by backing data analysis from a karst landscape region in southwest China. Short board element analysis was employed for further study. The results show that (a) the calculation results of the evaluation system used in this paper are consistent with the actual situation. The method can be effectively used in the field of resource and environmental carrying capacity evaluation. (b) The environmental carrying capacity is the largest in this region, followed by the resource carrying capacity, and the socio-economic carrying capacity is the smallest. (c) The region has a sufficient environmental carrying capacity on the whole, the resource conditions are weak and the socio-economic development is backward. The analysis of the evaluation results provides a scientific basis for the rational use of resources, territorial spatial planning, sustainable socio-economic development and ecological environmental protection strategies in karst mountainous areas.

Abstract:

Eco-environmental carrying capacity of water comprehensively representing the resource and eco-environmental characteristics of water determines the carrying ability of nature ecosystem for socio-economic development. Fushun and Tieling section are chosen as upstream in Liao River Basin to compare the eco-environmental carrying capacity of these two water stream. In this paper, 11 indexes are selected to establish evaluating indicator system, and then use the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to calculate eco-environmental carrying capacity of water. Result demonstrated: the score value of water eco-environmental carrying capacity of Fushun section is greater than that of Tieling. The little advance of water eco-environmental carrying capacity of Fushun was due to its better nature eco-environment.

Abstract:

Most evaluation systems don’t consider the problem of evaluation index selection, so the evaluation delay increases, and the evaluation results are not ideal, in order to solve the above problems effectively, a system to evaluate the water resources environmental carrying capacity in island tourism based on frequency analysis method is proposed and constructed. Through the study of the concept and connotation of water resources environmental carrying capacity in island tourism, combined with the system analysis theory, the principle of comprehensive evaluation indicator selection is established; the basic indicators are screened by frequency analysis method, and the evaluation system of water resources environmental carrying capacity in island tourism is established. According to the established system, a comprehensive evaluation model is set up to evaluate the environmental carrying capacity of water resources in island tourism. The simulation results show that the proposed system can effectively reduce the delay and improve the accuracy of the results to evaluate the environmental carrying capacity of water resources in island tourism.

Abstract:

Estuarine environmental capacity is the foundation for coastal biological diversity and self-purification capacity. Hence, studies on the marine environmental capacity (MEC) are the foundation for the total discharge control and water quality improvement of land-based pollutants. In the article, A calibrated two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to study the environmental characteristics of Sanmen Bay, including the tides, the residual currents, the tidal prism, and water exchange abilities. The model results were used to estimate the environmental capacity of the bay. Taking the pollution problem in Sanmen Bay as an example, the method of response factor, the sub-unit control method, and the phased control method were used to estimate the environmental capacity, pollutant amounts, and the pollutant reduction in the bay. The concentrations of COD, inorganic nitrogen, and acid salt in Sanmen Bay are spatially varied, with higher values occurring in the western part and in the inner bay. The half exchange time of the whole bay is about 23 days, and the exchange time of 95% water body is about 60 days. The evaluation of MEC cannot only provide technical support for the offshore aquaculture industries but also provide a scientific basis for the total control of terrigenous pollutants in coastal cities in Southern Zhejiang Province.

Abstract:

Successful evaluation capacity building requires a dynamic balance between responding to local agency needs and ensuring that local staff have appropriate skills to conduct rigorous evaluations. In 2004, the California Tobacco Control Program established the Tobacco Control Evaluation Center (TCEC), based at a public research university, to provide evaluation technical assistance to approximately 100 local agencies implementing tobacco control programs. TCEC has been responsive to local needs, for instance, by answering 512 technical assistance requests in the first 5 years of operation and by tailoring training according to needs assessment results. About 50% of the technical assistance requests were for new data collection instruments ( n = 255). TCEC has sought proactively to improve local evaluation skills, most recently in a data analysis and report writing skill building campaign that included a webinar, newsletter, and seven regional training meetings. Preliminary analysis suggests a 20% improvement in scores for the local final evaluation reports as a result of this campaign. It is concluded that evaluation technical assistance can be provided effectively by a university as long as the local context is kept in mind, and a balance of responsive and proactive technical assistance is provided.

Abstract:

In this paper, we proposed an assessment system of forest environmental carrying capacity from many aspects and comprehensively evaluated and predicted the forest environmental carrying capacity of 40 cities in the Yangtze River Delta of China by using the proposed deep learning-based model. In addition, the proposed model is used to dynamically evaluate the comprehensive scores of forest environmental carrying capacity of 34 provinces and cities in China between 2015 and 2020. This paper also has the following contributions: (1) a deeply integrated unidirectional bidirectional LSTM considering the correlation of time series is proposed. The bidirectional LSTM network is used to deal with the backward dependence of input data to prevent the omission of some useful information, which is beneficial to the prediction results. (2) In terms of missing data processing, the Mask layer is added to subtly skip the processing of missing data, which will help to enhance the evaluation results.

Abstract:

In an era characterised by the adverse impacts of climate change and environmental degradation, health promotion programmes are beginning to actively link human health with environmental sustainability imperatives. This paper draws on a study of health promotion and sustainability programmes in Australia, providing insights to evaluation approaches being used and barriers and enablers to these evaluations. The study was based on a multi-strategy research involving both quantitative and qualitative methods. Health promotion practitioners explained through surveys and semi-structured interviews that they focused on five overarching health and sustainability programme types (healthy and sustainable food, active transport, energy efficiency, contact with nature, and capacity building). Various evaluation methods and indicators (health, social, environmental, economic and demographic) were identified as being valuable for monitoring and evaluating health and sustainability programmes. Findings identified several evaluation enablers such as successful community engagement, knowledge of health and sustainability issues and programme champions, whereas barriers included resource constraints and competing interests. This paper highlights the need for ecological models and evaluation tools to support the design and monitoring of health promotion and sustainability programmes.

Environmental resource is the foundation of the development of the economy in a society. As the contradiction between the economy and the resource is becoming more prominent, the bearing capacity of the environmental resource has received great attention from all sectors of society including the government. In the context of the "double evaluation" proposed by the national land spatial planning, many scholars have been studying the theory and methods of the bearing capacity of the environmental resource. In this study, we suggested the evaluation index, calculating the comprehensive weight at the structure level and the index level to yield the standardized result for the bearing capacity of the environmental resource using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process.

Abstract:

Objective: The oil capacity properties of the sorbents used for oil collection are qualitatively estimated at various temperatures. One of the factors securing sustained rail transport development is taking measures to prevent and eliminate the accidental spillages of dangerous goods including oil and oil products. Such accidents occur causing significant environmental contamination. Methods: Using sorbents for containment and elimination of such accidents has a good track record. Their properties have not been, however, sufficiently investigated at various temperatures. The sorbents’ oil capacity is determined by the standard gravimetric method using the difference between the weight of a sorbent impregnated with oil product and that of a pure sorbent based on 1 g (kg) of a pure sorbent. Results: Oil viscosity grows as the temperature goes down. The research findings show higher sorbents’ oil capacity figures caused by a changed oil recovery mechanism due to its higher viscosity: at a low or moderate viscosity, oil sorbs inside the sorbent volume, whereas at a high viscosity (above 200 mm2/s) sorbent surface adhesion occurs. Practical importance: A qualitative analysis of sorbents is important for ensuring environmental safety.

Abstract:

In this paper, ten principles for evaluating blended teaching and learning in an age of Covid-19 (Austen 2020) are discussed with specific suggestions for academic practice/practitioners; Evaluation Strategy, Student Involvement, Rationale for Change, Comparisons, Data Types, Standards of Evidence, Indicators of Success, Evaluation Research, Review, Resource and Capacity. The initial reflections (July 2020) focused on supporting the higher education sector with institution-wide evaluations, as this was the strategic and regulatory pressure at that time. However, institutional evaluations are only possible if they are fed by a local evidence base. In this opinion piece, the ten evaluative principles are reframed to encourage evaluative thinking by academic practitioners, and particularly those defined as early adopters. This piece encourages institutions and practitioners to reframe an emphasis on evaluation methods into a critical space of evaluative thinking whilst appreciating the contingent factors of their institution and its stakeholders.

Abstract:

Energy flows in a fertile environment drive societal development and progress. To develop a country sustainably, striking balance between environmental management, natural resource use, and energy generation is a must. However, developing a country with limited access to energy and critical levels of environmental depletion is challenging. This description fits Rwanda, which faces a dual crisis of energy supply shortages and environment depletion. Overpopulation is driving urban and agricultural expansion which in turn unbalance biomass demand to supply the growing energy needs and exacerbate environmental damage. Just when urgent actions must be taken to overcome this current debacle, political aspirations seek to turn Rwanda into a middle- and subsequently high-income country. From our analysis, the available energy resources can only maintain current population in Rwanda as a low-income country. To become an average middle-income country, Rwanda needs an equivalent of 3 Mtoe /yr (≈20 Mbbl /yr) of oil imports, and must install a nominal capacity of 90 GW of solar photovoltaics (PV). For a high-income country, it is necessary to obtain an extra power input of 11.4Mtoe /yr (≈77 Mbbl /yr) of oil imports and to install a nominal capacity of 400 GW of solar PV. Comparing current power generation capacity in Rwanda against the extra power needed to achieve the middle-income and high-income status indicates a mismatch between available resources and developmental goals.

Abstract:

Making quantitative evaluations of the environmental functions of the soil in a quantitative way is an urgent necessity for transitioning towards the sustainable use of soils. The objective of this work was to use and improve the Soil and Environment software for soils of volcanic areas, for which the software was not designed to work on. The study was conducted in the volcanic area of Michoacan, Mexico. Nine soil profiles were described; samples were taken from each horizon and the physical and chemical properties of each sample were analyzed. The Soil and Environment software was used to conduct pedoecological evaluations of the soil samples and, subsequently, an evaluation of the environmental functions of the soils and the modeling of scenarios was carried out. The soil profiles studied showed variable properties of hydraulic conductivity, field capacity, air capacity, effective cation exchange capacity, and soil organic carbon. The soils showed very high nutrient retention, high naturalness and sorption of heavy metals, and low cultural and natural archive properties. The Soil and Environment software generally works well with soils of volcanic areas; however, we suggest improvements in the evaluation method of the following functions: naturalness and agricultural quality. Additionally, the estimating method of aeration capacity and hydraulic conductivity should be calibrated for the properties of the volcanic soils. The modeling of scenarios allowed us to identify the soil profiles that are most vulnerable to degradation. The modeling of scenarios provided a clear idea of the negative and positive effects that a change in soil use would have.

Abstract:

The evaluation of the environmental carrying capacity of tourism resources has important guiding significance for the sustainable development of tourism. This study uses the ecological footprint index to construct the evaluation model of rural tourism environmental carrying capacity and quantitatively analyzes the impact of rural tourism ecological footprint on the environment, ecological pressure, and the maximum carrying capacity of tourists in Nanyang City (China) from 2011 to 2020, so as to provide a reference basis for local rural tourism planning and ecological environment management. The empirical analysis results show that (1) during the decade 2011–2020, the overall ecological footprint increased by 31.47%; however, the per capita ecological footprint showed a downward trend year by year; (2) in the ten years from 2011 to 2020, although the environmental carrying capacity was in surplus, it showed a downward trend year by year, and the ecological pressure index initially appeared; (3) taking the number of tourists in 2020 as the reference value, the prediction of the ecological pressure of rural tourism environment and the carrying capacity of tourists shows that although the ecological pressure is in a relatively safe state, it will show an unsafe state with the increase of the number of tourists. Based on the above results, it is suggested that local governments and tourism planning and management departments should pay full attention to the adverse impact of tourism development on the environment, strengthen the construction of green transportation, balance the development of tourism resources, scientifically control the number of tourists, improve tourists’ awareness of environmental protection, protect the ecological environment of Nanyang City, and realize the sustainable development of rural tourism.

Abstract:

Evaluation is a continuing dilemma in health promotion initiatives. However, for projects to be sustained effective indicators and tools need to be implemented in order for resources and funding to be channeled into such enterprises. The capacity building model developed by New South Wales Health (1998) provided one model for evaluating a collaborative endeavor between the School of Nursing, Flinders University and Noarlunga Health Services, a generic community health centre in the southern urban/rural area of South Australia. The Community Enrichment Program (CEP), is in the final year of a four year funded project that aimed, in part, to determine what impact an integrated knowledge of Primary Health Care (PHC) would have on students and new graduates' nursing practice and, whether enough evidence would be generated to effect ongoing curriculum change. This paper considers capacity building in relation to the CEP and how the Ottawa Charter and the Jakarta Declaration are supported by this ideal. Argument is forwarded that workforce development, organizational structure and resource allocation, seen as tenets of capacity building, have been demonstrated in the CEP. Recommendations flowing from the project include the allocation of resources into a sustained, overt and integration of PHC philosophy and health promotion principles into nursing curriculum.

Abstract:

In order to clarify the comprehensive operational capabilities of the airport and better plan the sustainable development mode of the airport, this paper studies the evaluation method of airport environmental carrying capacity. First, this paper proposes the concept of airport environmental carrying capacity by taking into account the complex characteristics of airports affected by multiple factors and then selects 16 representative evaluation indicators to construct an indicator system based on the Driving Force-Pressure-State-Response (DPSR) framework. Finally, the accelerated genetic algorithm-projection pursuit model is established to model a comprehensive evaluation index, which is used to calculate the airport environmental carrying capacity (AECC). The results of the case study show that the AECC of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) decreased year by year from 2008 to 2017, which is in line with the coordinated development level of CAN. By analysing the changing mechanism of AECC and indicators, we get 6 key influencing indicators that led to the continuous decline of AECC and put forward some political suggestions to improve the AECC.

Abstract:

Effective implementation of environmental policy proves difficult in many countries. Even where there is a comprehensive policy framework, the capacity for implementation at the local level may be weak. In some countries of central and eastern Europe, such as Slovakia, local government has acquired new environmental responsibilities, but lacks the capacity for exercising these roles. The Slovakian environmental impact assessment (EIA) law, for example, gives local government a role as a channel for public comment. However, most municipalities lack the technical expertise or political experience to play an effective role in the EIA process. This paper describes a project supported by the UK Know-How Fund with Slovakian partners to develop municipal capacity. It offers a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of the programme, and emphasises the need for training in EIA to relate to municipalities' other environmental responsibilities. It draws some conclusions on cross-national learning between local government in central and western Europe.

Abstract:

In order to promote the sustainable development of a social economy and ecology, the social–economic–natural compound ecosystem (SENCE) conceptual framework was used to construct the water environmental carrying capacity index system. Taking the Gansu section of the Yellow River basin as an example, 18 indexes were selected from the 3 subsystems of social, economic, and natural ecology. Based on the unascertained measure theory and the obstacle factor model, the comprehensive level of water environmental carrying capacity in the Gansu section of the Yellow River basin from 2015 to 2020 was empirically evaluated, and the obstacles that hindered the water environmental carrying capacity were identified and analyzed. The results showed that the comprehensive level of water environmental carrying capacity fluctuated and increased overall, and it was grade III (critical load) from 2015 to 2017 and in 2019 and grade IV (weak load) in 2018 and 2020. Considering the ranking of the obstacle degree of each index, the obstacle factors were concentrated in the natural ecological subsystem, among which the obstacle factors were the discharge of wastewater, the population density, the urbanization rate, and the water resources development and utilization rate, which should be examined in the future. The research results and methods described in this paper could provide a theoretical reference for the evaluation of water environmental carrying capacity for other rivers and lakes.

Abstract:

Abstract The assessment of eco-environmental carrying capacity is the focus of planning environmental impact assessment and an important basis for determining whether the planning can be implemented. Based on the theory and method of ECO-environmental impact assessment, this paper applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to analyze the ecological resilience, resource-environment carrying capacity and mining pressure of mineral resources. A comprehensive evaluation model of environmental impact of mineral resources exploitation is established. Taking Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province as an example, the difference of eco-environmental carrying capacity of the main planned mining areas is evaluated. The results show that the pressure bearing degree of most of the assessed blocks is less than 1, indicating that the pressure on the ecosystem is less than the carrying capacity. The ecosystem is not easy to change and can be restored to the original state in a short time after change, and the ecosystem can maintain normal development. This is of great guiding significance to the scientific formulation of mineral resources exploitation strategy.

Abstract:

According to the investigation and supervision on current water quality in Hefang Reservoir, the single factor and eutrophication evaluation on the current water environment is given. Total phosphorus (TP) in most water areas is above the Ⅲ grade, total nitrogen (TN) is betweenⅡ~Ⅲ grade, and the TP is obviously beyond the standard, keeping at the stage of change from mesotrophic to eutrophication. By calculating the COD, TP and TN water environment capacity, the employed environment capacity of TP has already exceeded the carrying capacity of the reservoir. At last, the protecting measures of the water resources in reservoir are put forward, including engineering measures (such as the rural sewage interception project, vegetation renovation project and aquaculture control) and non-engineering measures.

Abstract:

China will meet an increasing demand of the energy because of the growth of the economy, coal is being mined largely as the most important energy, but the mining brought in a series of construction of ecological environment problems. This paper established a comprehensive evaluation model for environmental impact of coal mining through three aspects of ecological stability, resource and environment carrying capacity, coal mining pressure with analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Based on this model, authors have evaluated the regional difference of ecological environment carrying capacity of coal mining areas in Shanxi province. The study results may be helpful to scientifically draw up the coal resources development strategy.

Abstract:

Abstract Estuarine environmental capacity is the foundation for coastal biological diversity and self-purification capacity. Hence, studies on the marine environmental capacity (MEC) are the foundation for the total discharge control and water quality improvement of land-based pollutants. In the article, A calibrated two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to study the environmental characteristics of Sanmen Bay. The model results were used to estimate the environmental capacity of the bay. Taking the pollution problem in Sanmen Bay as an example, the method of response factor, the sub-unit control method, and the phased control method were used to estimate the environmental capacity, pollutant amounts, and the pollutant reduction in the bay. The concentrations of COD, inorganic nitrogen, and acid salt in Sanmen Bay are spatially varied, with higher values occurring in the western part and in the inner bay. The half exchange time of the whole bay is about 23 days, and the exchange time of 95% water body is about 60 days. The evaluation of MEC can not only provide technical support for the offshore aquaculture industries but also provide a scientific basis for the total control of terrigenous pollutants in coastal cities in Southern Zhejiang Province.
