“…So, the trend analysis was carried out using MS-Excel 2007, to know the difference in different parameters in different decades. To know the differences and the similarities among the different sampling sites, the cluster analysis is the best used statistical tool (Xiao et al, 2022). Among the different cluster analytical tools, the Bray Curtis cluster analysis is the most commonly used analytical method used by many of the researchers to classify the different sampling stations based on their physiological habitat (Asadi Sharif et al, 2021).…”

To analyze the effect of the weight of water resources carrying capacity evaluation index on its evaluation results, taking Xinjiang, China, as an example, this paper selects nine evaluation indicators related to the water resources system, social and economic development system, and ecosystem. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the coefficient of variation method, the geometric average method, and Murphy’s averaging method are used to calculate the weight of evaluation indexes. Subsequently, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is used to evaluate the water resources carrying capacity of Xinjiang from 2011 to 2015. The results show that Murphy’s averaging method improves the shortcomings of single subjective or objective weight values and rankings that are inconsistent with the actual situation. The water resources carrying capacity of the study area was in a weak overload state for all years except 2014, and the water resources carrying capacity showed a downward trend year by year. According to the actual situation of precipitation change, Murphy’s averaging method is more reasonable in terms of index assignment and evaluation results. This method is more suitable for the water resources carrying capacity evaluation in Xinjiang.

“…In this study, a weighted sum methodology based on the analytic hierarchy process and entropy theory (the AHP-entropy weight methodology) was proposed to identify the 14 indicators of ecological sustainability. It makes the evaluation result more accurate and objective (Xiao et al, 2022).…”

This study uses AHP-entropy weight methodology and a spatial econometric regression model to evaluate the ecological sustainability and its changes between the current situation and the planning scenario at the 2024 Chengdu International Horticultural Exposition in China. The results reveal that the low and highest sustainability levels decreased, while medium levels increased to 34.04 hm2. Converting village settlements, wastelands, and farmland into exhibition gardens and water bodies will increase medium-level ecological sustainability by improving rain and flood security and reducing flood disaster risk. Integrated Service areas will have more impervious surfaces as the site develops. Some forest destruction, decreased vegetation coverage, three-dimensional green volume, and vegetation carbon stock will result. It will lower the highest ecological sustainability. The regressive correlation between ecological sustainability level and quantitative indicators was relatively high, ranging from 0.5875 to 0.7148. It will provide policymakers with references and guidance for sustainable development mega-events.
