“…It systematically and comprehensively considers the relationship between humans and the environment, and can reflect the interaction between tourism activities and the ecological environment and their impacts, thus providing feedback to human activities on behalf of humans. The model has been widely used in sustainable development evaluation [ 32 , 33 ], eco-security evaluation [ 34 , 35 ], and ecological vulnerability [ 19 , 36 ] and water security evaluation [ 37 , 38 ]. In this study, the DPSIR model was used to construct the tourism eco-security index system of the Yellow River basin.…”

Tourism eco-security evaluation is an effective tool for facilitating the coordinated and sustainable economic and environmental development of tourist destinations. Based on system theory, this study established a comprehensive evaluation index system for the DPSIR model, applying the entropy–TOPSIS method, spatial autocorrelation, spatial econometric model and geo-detector to investigate the spatial and temporal evolution and drivers of tourism eco-security of the Yellow River basin. The results showed that the tourism eco-security of the Yellow River basin steadily and significantly increased from 2003 to 2020, reaching a peak in 2019, while there was a low level of overall tourism eco-security and improvement possibility. The results show a spatial evolution pattern of expansion from provincial capital cities to nearby prefecture-level cities from the middle and lower reaches to the middle and upper reaches, with significant spatial clustering and spillover effects. Factors affecting the tourism eco-security of the Yellow River basin vary in and between regional basins. Because there are many influencing factors, the key factors were further identified by spatial effect decomposition. The results of this study have important theoretical and practical value in promoting the coordinated and sustainable development of the tourism economy and ecological environment in the Yellow River basin.

“…The DP-SIR model of the watershed ecosystem security system is an orderly and sustainable operation and complex open-loop system emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between human activities and ecosystems (Kharrazi et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2021b). Under the principle of circular cumulative causality, the development of human activities serves as a 'driving' (D) subsystem that affects the ecological security of the watershed (Lu et al, 2022). The development of this subsystem will increase the demand on the basin resources and environment.…”

Dynamic Assessment and Sustainability Strategies of Ecological Security in the Irtysh River Basin of Xinjiang, China

The drylands of China are extensive, and they are home to more than one-third of the country's population. However, the watershed territories of the drylands, where the majority of human activities are concentrated have long experienced strained human-land relationships, culminating in ecological security concerns. Correspondingly, it is essential to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the ecological security of dryland watersheds and to identify the key factors influencing ecological security in order to formulate strategies that ensure the sustainability of drylands. Premised on the Driving-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model, this study developed an ecological security index and applied it to the Irtysh River Basin of Xinjiang, China, from 2000 to 2020. The obstacle degree model was applied to reveal the obstacles in two dimensions: criterion level and indicator level. The findings suggested that the ecological security comprehensive index in the Irtysh River Basin has increased significantly from 2000 to 2020, irrespective of the fact that it decreased during the study period and then increased. The ecological security level changed from 'critically safe' in 2000 to 'general safety' in 2020, with the state subsystem and pressure subsystem becoming ecological security weaknesses. The primary factors influencing the ecological security of the study area were water consumption, the area of high-efficiency water-saving irrigation, the proportion of wetland area, vegetation coverage, and livestock population. The ecological security of different counties in the basin varies greatly, whereas the factors that influence ecological security showed both similarities and differences among the counties. In light of on the findings, we proposed that future strategies for ecological security enhancement should concentrate on enacting the policy of localizing spatial differentiation, optimizing industrial structure, strengthening scientific and technological support in the field of water conservation, bolstering the treatment capacity of environmental facilities, and implementing the Mountains-Rivers-Forests-Farmlands-Lakes-Grasslands System to support the sustainable development of dryland watersheds.

“…It identifies the cause-effect relationships in five economic and social development categories: driving forces (D) that exert pressure (P) on the environment; changes in the state of the environment (S) and impacts (I) on the ecosystem, human health, and other materials; and society's preventive, adaptive, or curative solution responses (R) to the driving forces, pressures, states, or impacts (Jago-on et al, 2009). DPSIR has been wildly used for analysing environmental problems emanating from human activities in policy-making and research (Gari et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2022;Agramont et al, 2022), including water issues (Kagalou et al, 2012;Hashemi et al, 2014;Gari et al, 2018;Ashfaq et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2022). Hashemi et al (2014) found the framework useful for analysing the changing state of floods, structuring data, and examining leverage points at which appropriate responses can be exerted.…”

This article describes a combination of the driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) framework and the logical framework approach (LFA) to develop water management strategies for a lagoon floodplain in Thailand. The DPSIR framework identified the cause-effect relationship between water and anthropogenic activities. LFA developed management strategies based on a systematic and logical approach. DPSIR analysis for the issue of water shortages for irrigated areas revealed the need for income from agriculture is a major driver, as indicated by agricultural development policy. The driver exerted pressure on increasing irrigation water demand, which increased the risk of a water shortage. The impact of water shortage was indicated by loss of farmer income. Existing responses led to inadequate problem-solving, for example, the promotion of mixed farming. Using data captured from DPSIR analysis for LFA analysis, proposed strategies to address the root causes of “ineffective irrigation water allocation” focused on improving (1) the performance of rotating irrigation systems; (2) monitoring water allocation; and (3) water use efficiency. The strategies developed using the combined DPSIR framework and LFA are effective because: (1) this method provides insight into complex water systems; (2) the strategies are developed logically to solve the problem at its root cause; and (3) there is intensive stakeholder participation and in-depth study of the area. This method is a helpful tool for developing a management strategy for a complex water system and is suitable for application by decision-makers. Stakeholder verification is required for future research to ensure that the strategies are appropriate and capable of being implemented.
