Megacities play an essential role in social interaction and relationship formation. There is a need for megacity resilience to achieve both safety and sustainability. This paper set out to develop a contextualized conceptual framework and an applied megacity resilience comprehensive index (MRCI). The study provides a multi-model named the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), extending the criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation and entropy (CRITIC-Entropy) weight and introducing the time-ordered weighted averaging (TOWA) to a dynamic situation. The results show that, while the performance of resilience in Nanjing was the highest, the growth ratio of resilience in Zhengzhou was the fastest. In addition, a coupling relationship of pressure, state, and response resilience was verified, and response resilience was more correlated and showed similar trends with the MRCI. The findings indicate that response resilience is still an obstacle factor in the criterion layer in Dalian. Moreover, identified key obstacle factors in the index layer may differ by district or functional zones and need to improve unified and point to area operation. Issues around resilient culture and citizenship were found to be common. Improving public service in Zhengzhou, enhancing support for applied research in Nanjing, and optimizing the ecological industry layout in Dalian were identified as key focuses. This study should be of value for similar megacities in developed or developing countries to improve their resilience.

“…These countries are already resource poor and with climate related pressure the development process could be hampered. Zhou et al [11], in their research, commented that a strong relation exists between regional stability and climate shock. Environment shocks could exacerbate the present condition and countries may have conflicts due to this.…”

With frequent climate change related disaster shocks and a huge burden of refugees from neighbor country’s conflict, Bangladesh needs to formulate effective strategies to support its most prospective sectors for ensuring sustainable development. This paper aims at disentangling the process of economic growth in Bangladesh to identify some prospective accelerating sectors, which could achieve constant economic growth with proper policy support. Using a modification of traditional structural decomposition analysis (SDA), we identify some prospective growth sectors in the Bangladesh economy. We have found labor intensive manufacturing and some high value added service sectors as key sectors for growth in Bangladesh. We compare the existing economic structure of Bangladesh with five other Asian lower income developing countries (LIDCs) and found all other countries have mostly similar economic structure, except Vietnam. Our analysis showed Bangladesh is mainly dependent on the textiles and food sectors in manufacturing and construction, real estate and inland transport sectors in service, for its quick growth. Most importantly, we found some new manufacturing sectors, such as basic metal and machineries, NEC, and recycling sectors, are constantly growing over the last decade, using our technique. Proper policy support to these high potential emerging sectors could help Bangladesh achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) of ensuring economic growth and sustainable development through promoting industrial diversification.

The criticality of tourism development, economic complexity, and country security on ecological footprint

What kinds of countries are likely to be prosperous and have a sustainable environment at the same time? How might countries reorient their policy setting to be more capable of suppressing environmental degradation? To explore these questions, this research examines data from 99 countries for 2006–2017, takes the six major forms of ecological footprint (EF) as indicators of environmental quality, and probes the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis via quantile regression approach. We find that tourism development leads to greater environmental degradation, with tourism development particularly corresponding to more usage of carbon absorption land and cropland. The lower the country security is, the better is the environmental quality. Economic complexity also worsens environmental quality. However, country security weakens the negative influence of tourism development and economic complexity on environmental quality, specifying that better country security stalls the negative impact of tourism and economic complexity on environmental quality. Results mostly support the tourism- and country security–induced EKC hypotheses in fishing footprint, whereas economic complexity–induced EKC is generally validated in cropland footprint. Finally, we present that tourism arrivals, economic complexity, and country security have varying impacts across diverse ecological footprint quantiles.
