“…Economic level: Common prosperity is based on a higher level of social productive forces, and the emancipation and development of productive forces can build a material foundation for the realization of common prosperity, which is also a prerequisite. Therefore, it is in line with our research to choose the overall economic level of society as an important evaluation index (Li et al, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionCommon prosperity is a major research project in China, and the scientific measurement and evaluation of common prosperity is very important.MethodsIn this study, firstly, we construct a comprehensive evaluation index system for the common prosperity level (CPL). We then develop an evaluation model of CPL based on prospect theory, probabilistic linguistic ordered weighted distance measure, and the TOPSIS method, wherein we use a probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) to describe the uncertainty and complexity of the assessment process. Above all, we use prospect theory to reflect the preferences of experts to meet the unique needs for the evaluation of common prosperity. Moreover, we apply the proposed evaluation index system and model to evaluate the CPL of Zhejiang Province, China's first common prosperity demonstration zone, as an example to conduct relevant research. The advantages and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the sensitivity and comparative analysis.ResultsThe findings prove that the application of the new PLTS evaluation framework in CPL assessment is robust.DiscussionWe propose specific suggestions for improving the development of common prosperity.

“…Previous research revealed that 28 nature reserves on the QTP showed over 10% increase in human footprint from 2000 to 2020 (Hua et al., 2022). The sustainable development of QTP in the future should put forward a systematic solution to keep a balance between ecological conservation and socioeconomic development (Li et al., 2022). The following approaches may help achieve a win‐win situation.…”

As the Earth's Third Pole and the Asian water tower, the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) plays a key role in global climate regulation and biodiversity maintenance. Living in harmony with nature is vital for local and global sustainable development. Current research on the conflicted or coordinated relationship between humans and nature on the QTP at a fine spatial scale remains limited. To fill the gap, we developed the human activity intensity index (HAI) and eco‐environmental quality index (EQI) at 1‐km resolution and proposed a four‐quadrant diagram approach to explore the dynamics between them. The results show a coordinated development on the QTP as the HAI and EQI both increased from 2000 to 2020, and the ratio of coordinated areas to conflicted areas was 5:1. High HAI areas were mainly in big cities such as Xining, Lhasa, Haidong, Xigaze, and along traffic lines. The significant conflicted areas were mainly outside the Lhasa metropolitan, south of the Hengduan Mountains, and along some new roads, and reduced by 8% between 2000–2010 and 2010–2020. The area of high HAI but low EQI was the smallest proportion, mainly in southern Qinghai Lake, southern Brahlung Zangbo River, Gobi oases, and western transport lines, but it implies the highest risk of ecosystem degradation. This research expands the fundamental methodology to address complex human‐natural relationships and provides implications for the sustainable development of fragile ecosystems.

“…(5) Conservation agencies should prioritize the recruitment of residents near the Zhouyuan site for services, such as cleaning, defense, and construction labor, to increase residents' participation in the protection of the Zhouyuan site. (6) The local government, conservation agencies, and other relevant agriculture, forestry, and environmental departments should make great efforts to restore the ecology and create a favorable environment for site protection, agricultural production, tourism services, and residents' livelihood.…”

“…With the implementation of the national strategy, many Chinese scholars have devoted themselves to the study of township development. They interpreted China's township development from various perspectives, including township infrastructure development [4], sustainable township development [5], township ecological protection [6], township tourism industry development [7], township economic model innovation [8], and township policy formulation [9]. They concluded that complete infrastructure, excellent ecological environment, multiple industry types, and appropriate policy support are the prerequisites for supporting the sustainable development of townships.…”

This study aimed to explore the evolution of Jingdang and Famen towns near the Zhouyuan site, the capital city site of the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, to elucidate the relationship between township development and the essential ancient relics conservation areas. Based on the remote sensing satellite images from 1982 to 2022, combining with historical demographic data, this study used four methods, including land use classification, land use transfer matrix, landscape pattern center of gravity changes, and population count statistics, to study the spatial–temporal evolution of land, population, and ecology in the region over the past 40 years. The results showed that under the strict relic conservation regimen, these two towns are in a declining stage. To improve their decaying status, some potential strategies valuable for township development are proposed to balance the relationship between relic conservation and township development for their mutual benefit and coexistence.
