“…The wetter the climate, the greater the moisture content in the surface soil. On the one hand, it increases the cohesion of the particles, thereby enhancing the resistance of the surface soil to wind erosion, on the other hand, the moisture in the soil may increase the survival rate of surface vegetation [ 25 ]. The dryness integrates the precipitation and temperature data of the region, which can better reflect the humid conditions of the regional climate [ 26 , 27 ].…”

Windblown sand hazards seriously threaten the safe operation of highways in desert areas. Reasonable risk assessment can provide the basis for windblown sand hazards prevention and risk reduction. To facilitate the formulation of better windblown sand hazards prevention and reduction strategies, a new windblown sand hazards risk assessment model along the highways was proposed, in which seven evaluation indicators were selected from danger of the hazard-causing factors, vulnerability of the hazard-forming environment, and the vulnerability of the hazard-bearing body. The model was established based on the combination weighting method of game theory, and the risk map was generated based on the GIS platform. Finally, the model was applied to the windblown sand hazards risk assessment along the Wuhai-Maqin Highway. The result showed that the risk of the windblown sand hazards along the Wuhai-Maqin Highway is mainly medium, low, and very low. High and very high risk windblown sand hazards sections account for only 33% of the total length of the highway. The high and very high risk highway sections of the windblown sand hazards are mainly distributed in the hinterland of shifting dunes area and near the horizontal curve with a small radius in the flat sandy land area. By comparing with the real information of windblown sand hazards along the highway, correlation was up to 85.93%, which verified the accuracy of the model. The model can be applied to windblown sand hazards risk assessment along the highways.

“…Step 3: Synthetization The data obtained during step 2 could then be synthesized. To begin with, the calculated weights for each of the sub-criteria were obtained by multiplying the relative weights of the main criteria by the sub-criteria (Dastorani, 2022). We then calculated the overall satisfaction score (the global priority score) for each of the of Hajj categories by multiplying the evaluated weight for each of the sub-criteria by each local priority score that corresponded to each of the sub criterion and adding them together for column.…”

Saudi Arabia every year receives more than two million Muslims from all over the world to perform the Hajj (the Muslim pilgrimage to Makkah). "It must take place during a specific period of the year in a specific and limited space." (“Asma BAHURMOZ | Faculty Member | Prof of Operations Research | King ...”) To manage and satisfy such crowd, Considering the variety of cultures, languages, and different levels of socio-economic background, is next to impossible. Saudi vision 2030 has taken it as its duty to ensure that pilgrimages will have joyful experience and good memories to take back home. Authorities develop four categories of packages based on quality dimensions to meet different budgets. To manage and provide quality service for the pilgrimagesis incredibly challenging task. In an effort from the authors to dir ect their research towards this goal. A multi criteria decision model MCDM is developed to evaluate the service quality dimensions (SQD) and identify essential criteria that achieve pilgrim’s satisfaction and keep up with hajj vision 2030, The aim is to provide an easy tool though a scientific one for companies providing these packages to adjust their services to match pilgrims ' expectations.

“…Up to now, desertification studies have focused primarily on warm drylands such as tropical, temperate, and Mediterranean drylands (Benassi et al, 2020;Dastorani, 2022;Han et al, 2023;Kadri and Nasrallah, 2023). However, desertification in alpine areas such as the Tibetan Plateau remains largely unknown (Li et al, 2020).…”

Desertification in the context of global change and intensified anthropogenic activities poses a huge challenge to the sustainable development of the Earth’s systems, including the Qinghai Lake Basin, which is located in the Tibetan Plateau. However, we know little about desertification in the Qinghai Lake Basin, which is an urgent and important issue. To that end, this study used the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and the albedo data from MODIS satellites to explore this issue. Results based on vegetation cover (FVC) calculated from EVI indicated that desertification in the Qinghai Lake Basin had reversed over the last 20 years, and the heavily desertified areas were concentrated along the northwestern to northern basin boundaries and on the sandy eastern shore of Qinghai Lake. More interestingly, we found that the relationship between albedo and EVI showed a “V” shape instead of the traditional monotonic trapezoid, which may be related to multiple factors such as soil moisture, soil type, and spatial scale of sampling. This study unfolds the spatial and temporal distribution of desertification in the Qinghai Lake Basin quantitatively and emphasizes the threshold of the desertification process revealed in the EVI-albedo feature space, which sheds light on the monitoring of desertification in alpine areas.
