“…Ecosystem services refer to the natural environmental conditions and functions of ecosystems and ecological processes that maintain human survival [1,2]. In addition, these are very important for regional and global ecological security, and are a frontier and focus of ecological and geography research [3]. Ecosystems support and sustain balance within the human living environment by regulating climatic conditions and maintaining biodiversity [4,5], providing food and raw materials for human life and reproduction, and providing entertainment and aesthetic enjoyment [2,6].…”

Urbanization-induced land-use change will lead to variations in the demand and supply of ecosystem services, thus significantly affecting regional ecosystem services. The continuous degradation of ecosystem functions has become a serious problem for humanity to solve. Therefore, quantitative analysis of the corresponding impact of land-use change on ecosystem service value (ESV) is important to socio-economic development and ecological protection. The Anhui province in China has experienced rapid urbanization in recent years, and ecological environmental remediation and protection have become important goals for regional development. In this paper, the province of Anhui has been selected as a case of study, we analyzed the land-use change using Landsat images from 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015. We then adjusted the equivalent factor of ESV per unit area and estimated the ESV of Anhui province from 2000 to 2015 to analyze the impact of land-use change on ESV. Our results show that (1) paddy field is the main land-use type in Anhui province, the built-up land area has continuously increased, and the water area has continuously decreased; (2) the total ESV of Anhui province decreased from 30,015.58 × 107 CNY in 2000 to 29,683.74 × 107 CNY in 2015 (the rate of change was −1.11%), and regulating services make the greatest contribution to ESV; and (3) land-use change has led to severe ESV variations, especially for the expansion of water area and built-up land. Our study results provide useful insights for the development of land-use management and environmental protection policies in Anhui province.

“…Ecosystem valuation is an approach to assign monetary values to an ecosystem and its key ecosystem goods and services, generally referred to as Ecosystem Service Value [4] . Recent comprehensive approaches to assessing the interface between biophysical as well as ecological processes and the livelihood of coastal communities have updated our view of the value of mangrove goods and services [13].…”

Mangrove ecosystem valuation can be used as a reference for decision making for management and conservation of mangrove ecosystems in a sustainable manner. The range of activities and interests conducted in coastal areas is not expected to negatively impact the ecology, economic and social. Carat Cape mangrove areas provide enormous benefits to the surrounding community, especially Sungsang IV village. From the results of the study illustrate the provosioning ecosystem service utilized community Sungsang IV village consists of materials construction (timber and nypa leaves), a source of livelihood or subsistance (nypa fruit, fish, shrimp, crab, and scallops). The total value of provosioning ecosystem services mangrove Carat Cape utilized by 45 respondent the Sungsang IV village community Rp. Rp.1.715.590.000,-per year dominated by income generated by marine of fisheris which is the main livelihood of the fishermen Sungsang IV village reached Rp.1.302.600.000,-per year on 2018.

“…Su et al [6] studied the urbanization impact on several regions in China by combining landscape pattern analysis with ecosystem service value, and the result of their study offered a reference for lands' urbanization planning. Sannigrahi et al [7] discovered that support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) algorithms had the best performance in different ecosystems' classification, and they conducted experiments on all kinds of ecosystems and compared their sustainability and environmental service capacity. e outcome of their research provided references for policy makers to make a better plan for natural conservation and environment protection.…”

Redefinition of Cost‐Benefit Efficiency of Land‐Use Projects: Focusing on Environmental Cost

e cost-benefit efficiency of projects is often wrongly evaluated due to the neglect of projects' impact on the environment. In this paper, we aim to establish a model to measure such an impact and hence propose a more reasonable approach to evaluating costbenefit efficiency of projects. We divide the total cost of a certain project into two parts: Business Cost (BC) and Environmental Cost (EC). BC is the explicit cost that can be approached from financial statements, while EC is the implicit cost which we try to quantify. EC is composed of three parts: (1) the Ecosystem Service Value (ESV), (2) the Restoration Cost (RC) to treat the pollution caused by the projects, and (3) the Disaster Cost (DC), potential losses caused by disasters due to launch of new projects. In order to make a cost-benefit efficiency analysis, we introduce profitability index, which is further developed into an adjusted profitability index by taking time value into consideration. Two case studies are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. A regional case of a coal-mining project proves that RC and DC play a significant role in cost-benefit efficiency analysis, while a nationwide case of high-speed rail shows that project scale matters. Additionally, we put our attention on the intensity of the project, which is a created measurement to characterize the project. Based on the study of intensity, the mechanism of cost-benefit break-even is further explained and some suggestions are proposed to policy makers.
