“…Hazard/vulnerability indexing for populations, localities, ecosystems, and other entities at risk to adverse events is an emergent endeavor in 21st century risk assessment, which has only recently seen substantial development (Harner et al , 2002; Peng et al , 2005; Srebotnjak, 2008; Tsuzuki, 2006). Our research into vulnerability metrics traces it roots to Cutter et al (2003), who introduced an approach for quantifying a geographical locality's vulnerability to hazards based on its underlying socioeconomic and demographic profile.…”

Benchmark Analysis for Quantifying Urban Vulnerability to Terrorist Incidents

We describe a quantitative methodology to characterize the vulnerability of U.S. urban centers to terrorist attack, using a place-based vulnerability index and a database of terrorist incidents and related human casualties. Via generalized linear statistical models, we study the relationships between vulnerability and terrorist events, and find that our place-based vulnerability metric significantly describes both terrorist incidence and occurrence of human casualties from terrorist events in these urban centers. We also introduce benchmark analytic technologies from applications in toxicological risk assessment to this social risk/vulnerability paradigm, and use these to distinguish levels of high and low urban vulnerability to terrorism. It is seen that the benchmark approach translates quite flexibly from its biological roots to this social scientific archetype.

“…The EKC is an essentially empirical phenomenon, and useful to study the relationship between economic development and environment issues, such as environmental quality, industrial water use, pollutant load contribution (Jia et al, 2006;Okadera et al, 2006;Tsuzuki, 2006;Liu et al, 2007). In this study, the standard EKC model was used to investigate the existence of EKC between economic development and industrial wastewater discharge in the upstream region of Xiashan Reservoir.…”

a b s t r a c tXiashan Reservoir is the largest reservoir in the Shandong peninsula and the major water supply source for urban, industry and agriculture in Weifang, Shandong Province. In the upstream region of Xiashan Reservoir, its industry development ranged in the top three among 12 districts and counties of Weifang were lower than that in 1995 because of improvements in water utilization and a shift in industry structure. Correspondingly, the total industrial wastewater discharged changed little from 1995 to 2004, but the total COD Cr discharged was greatly reduced.

“…Nowadays, more and more scholars have shown eager interests in EKC analysis and empirical research based on the statistical data from China. Some scholars carried out analysis on the change trends of national discharge of the three wastes (waste water, waste gas, and waste residue) [47][48][49], some other scholars carried out empirical research on many categories of pollutants in different provinces of China [50][51][52][53]. The empirical results indicated that the EKC turning point of industrial pollutants discharge has not been met in China, extensive industrial operational mode with the expense of ecological environment damage brought out monotone increasing cubic curve shape and even backward curve shape of national industrial EKC in some regional industrial systems [13][14][15][16]54,55].…”

From the analytical view of a recycling economy, the regional system achieves the goal of sustainable development through improving resource utilization efficiency, reducing energy consumption and ameliorating the quality of water and air. The regional economic system's potential for sustainable development is significantly influenced by regional industrial operational efficiency, which measures the cost of ecology, environment, energy and resources accompanying the economic growth. It is vital for national and regional governments to accelerate harmonious development between products of industrial department, consumption of energy and pollutants discharged. Under the guidance of ecological niche theory and recycling economy theory, the theoretical analysis on efficient relations between regional industrial growth, energy consumption, resources utilization and environmental carrying capacity has been carried out from horizontal and vertical respects. Industrial operational efficiency and the sensitivity coefficient in response to the change of every input and output index can be calculated and critical factors, which restrict sustainable development capability, can be found out so that quantitative references could be provided for administrative decisions. As for the measurement method, a super efficiency mixed data envelopment OPEN ACCESS Sustainability 2014, 6 8486 analysis model, which wipes off self-limited condition and either contains both meeting cone characteristic indexes or not, has been established and applied. Statistics from 1993 to 2012 in China are collected to carry out empirical research. On the basis of further analysis, an adjustment strategy can be constituted to improve the capability for sustainable development.
