Under the combined influences of climate change and human activities, western Jilin (WJ) Province, as a typical ecologically fragile area, has experienced ecological degradation resource depletion. Therefore, it is urgently needed to assess its carrying capacity (ECC) provide scientific support for regional protection management. This study integrated “Pressure-State-Response” (P-S-R) model with “production, living, spaces” (PLES) conceptual construct comprehensive evaluation indicator system ECC. The weights were calculated using Bayesian BWM-CRITIC-CWDF linear combination method, spatial–temporal distribution ECC was then assessed an improved TOPSIS gray relational analysis (GRA). overcomes limitations traditional methods in weight allocation, correlation, non-linear effects, providing more accurate, reliable, objective assessment Furthermore, bivariate spatial autocorrelation applied reveal interaction between “coupling coordination degree (CCD) PLES” results indicate that value divided into period decline (2000–2010) growth (2010–2020); spatially, level transitioned from high-west, low-east high-east, low-west pattern. primarily driven by factors such fertilizer usage, per capita GDP, output. “CCD indicated positive forming “high-high” “high-low” clusters. provides reliable index evaluating WJ. findings theoretical foundation region’s sustainable development offer valuable insights research.

The environmental quality of a mining city has direct impact on regional sustainable development and become key indicator for assessing the effectiveness national policies. However, against backdrop accelerated urbanization, increased demand resource development, promotion concept ecological civilization, cities are faced with major challenge balancing economic protection. This study aims to deeply investigate spatial temporal variations its driving mechanisms mineral resource-based cities. utilizes wide coverage multitemporal capabilities MODIS optical thermal infrared remote sensing data. It innovatively develops index (RSEI) algorithm PIE-Engine cloud platform quickly obtain RSEI, which reflects environment. evolution characteristics in seven typical China from 2001 2022 were analyzed. Combined vector mine surface data, variability impacts activities environment quantitatively separated explored. In particular, taken into account by creating buffer zones zoning statistics analyze response relationship between RSEI these factors, including distance area percentage area. addition, drivers 2019 analyzed through Pearson correlation coefficients pixel 10 natural, economic, mining. Regression modeling was performed using random forest (RF) model, ranked order importance factor assessment. results showed that (1) changed significantly during period, negative significant. (2) areas low values closely related (3) generally lower than average level gradually as site increased. (4) increase size initially exacerbates environment, but is weakened beyond certain threshold.

Tourism ecological adaptation (TEA) offers a novel research framework and practical tool for analyzing sustainable regional development. This facilitates high-quality tourism development, safeguards the ecosystem, enhances risk resilience. However, existing TEA has shortcomings regarding methodology scales. study constructed index system to address these deficiencies. The comprises two subsystems, industry (TIA) environment (EEA), including three dimensions: sensitivity, stability, response. entropy-weighted TOPSIS method, assessment model, standard deviation ellipse, geographic detector were used analyze spatiotemporal evolution driving factors of in Dongting Lake area, China, from 2012 2021. TIA displays rise-fall-rise pattern, whereas EEA demonstrates fluctuating upward trend. Additionally, exhibits distinctive basin-type spatial distribution with lower values central region higher surrounding areas. Over past decade, ellipses adaptability have shown minimal changes shape, position, center. Both clustering center positions reached state basic equilibrium. predominant type was characterized by low adaptation, 41.18% counties. is driven resource endowment, government regulatory efforts, level economic environmental governance capacity

China’s island tourism is still in the exploratory stage, and carbon emissions due to development are prominent. This study assesses of low-carbon on Changdao Island China. We constructed an evaluation model for islands based driver-pressure-state-impact-response model, Entropy Weight Method-Analytical Hierarchy Process Method was combined with weighting method determine index weights ench evaluation-indicator. The annual changes level tourism, indicators, characteristics scores, mode, key factors were analyzed. results showed that indicator “impact” most influential element island’s ecological environment value higher than economic value. Moreover, energy saving consumption reduction helped tourists have a better experience, which further enabled larger market size. “response” also occupied crucial position, where weighted government planning twice as high corporate practice. other elements “pressure”, “state”, “driving forces”, low important criterion greatest effect terms forces”. evaluated regionals across multiple dimensions, filled literature gap, provided reference regional sustainable tourism.

Abstract Protected natural areas have become important tourist destinations around the world, and in Spain, national parks are most representative figure of this type enclave, having as one its objectives to make conservation compatible with public use. One is However, restrictive legal regime prevents sustainability from being achieved. In sense, UNESCO Global Geoparks emerges an alternative a vision more focused on socio-economic development. This paper compares perception these two types protected areas. For purpose, questionnaire was sent highest representatives municipalities closest all geoparks Spain. The data analysis carried out using structural equation modeling. results study show higher sustainable development than parks. conclusion, very strict regulation can be detrimental tourism population’s quality life.
