- Abstract:
- ... Urbanisation bubbles have become an increasingly serious problem. Attention has been paid to the speed of urbanisation; however, the issue of quality has been neglected, particularly in the case of China. Therefore, the aim of this research is to evaluate China’s urbanisation bubbles by employing a hierarchical - stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis (SMAA) - Choquet integral method. In ...

- Abstract:
- ... The efficiency and order of urban land use structure (ULUS) are vital for the level of urban sustainable development. This paper evaluated the efficiency and order of ULUS of thirteen cities in Jiangsu province, China, using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach and information entropy method to characterize the spatial-temporal variation. Although literature using the DEA approach and info ...

However, the extant research did not take into consideration the spatial effects, which may result in an insufficient understanding of the results. To explore the spatial agglomeration of environmental pollution, the externalities of economic units are integrated int ...

Cultivating a deeper understanding of the response mechanism of cultural ecosystem services to urbanization is increasingly recognized as a critical component of sustainable governance and land-use decision making. However, except for a range of studies exploring changes in ecosystem services during urbanization that address cultural ecosystem services as merely one service type, few investigation ...

- Abstract:
- ... Urbanization and population growth have resulted in a significant increase in the amount of generated construction and demolition (C&D) waste worldwide. Improper C&D waste management has led to a tremendous landfilled C&D waste, which has placed a great concern over its adverse impacts on the environment and natural resources. Appropriate C&D waste recycling mechanism as a remedial action saves ou ...

The main effect is the well-known phenomenon of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) meaning higher temperatures experienced in urbanized environment with respect to rural surroundings. Nevertheless, thermal behavior of cities varies even within the city itself and the investigation of intra-urban microclimate di ...

As economy grows, China’s CO₂ emissions grows rapidly correspondingly. Since 2006, China has ranked first in terms of total CO₂ emissions, results of different contributions of different provinces. In view of the shortcomings in the previous regional classification, this wo ...

This paper examines the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis at the world and continents levels using e-waste generation as the indicator of environmental degradation. The EKC hypothesis assumes an inverted-U-shaped relationship ...
