“…Our results indicate that students in this study formed notable opinions about these topics. Participants in industrial sectors also reported that the topics were similar to real-world issues, such as choosing between producing goods to earn money, saving water, or developing technology for WRA [47]. Moreover, the students who played the public guild noted that their main responsibility was to maximize public benefits [13].…”

In learning based on socio-scientific issues, teachers primarily use role playing in situation learning to promote students’ knowledge and responsibility and to teach them how to reach a consensus in multirole scenarios. However, if participants only engage with the material from the perspective of having one role, they will ignore comprehensive information on said issue. Therefore, the roles students play during multirole situational learning lead to diversity biases in learning results. To help participants enhance their competencies related to issues and eliminate learning gaps, we developed an issue-based board game named Water Ark based on the following four design ideas: multirole simulation, reflective goal, systemic situation, and interactions of society. The results indicated that after playing the game, participants’ knowledge and responsibility regarding water resource adaptation improved significantly. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the gap between the learning outcomes of participants with different roles in the game was not statistically significant, except in terms of students’ personal willingness to act. Thus, these design ideas could improve the utility of board games for learning about socio-scientific issues with multirole scenarios.

“…The average water intake for an integrated steelworks is 28.6 m 3 per tonne of produced steel, with an average water discharge of 25.3 m 3 /tonne of steel. For the electric route, the average intake is 28.1 m 3 per tonne of steel, with an average discharge of 26.5 m 3 per tonne of steel (Colla et al, 2017). Mt (Schorcht et al, 2013).…”

would continue with humanity for economic and other reasons. However, in order to conserve natural resources (water, fossil fuels, etc.), it is necessary that the unabated utilization of these resources be regulated. Furthermore to achieve sustainability in human living and sustained availability of not only these precious natural resources but also the global environment, new technologies and concepts are continuously being developed. In developing countries, the environmental effects of fast-paced industrial development are more pronounced when considering livability. Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata have been declared unlivable based on parameters such as environment and health amongst others (Chatterjee, 2019;Sarkar & Bardhan, 2020). None of the Chinese cities made it to the top 100 (livable cities) despite the economic boom (MERCER, 2020).Globally the economic development has led to a consequential increase in Greenhouse gases, (especially carbon dioxide) that are continually being released into the atmosphere. In the wake of serious concerns about geological carbon storage, carbon utilization is a much-preferred approach to tackling the carbon concentrations in

“…The efficiency of industrial water use is measured mainly by economic benefits. This sector includes many relevant indicators such as industrial water recycling rate, unilateral water industrial output value, industrial water quota, ten thousand Yuan added value water withdrawal, process water reuse rate, and industrial water supply guarantee the compliance rate [24]. In view of the ongoing economic transformation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, as the service industry is an important pillar of economic development, the water efficiency of this sector should by no means be ignored.…”

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is an area with insufficient per capita water resources. This study evaluates the current status and development trend of sustainable use of water resources in the region, and identifies specific factors influencing sustainable development so as to provide a theoretical basis and data support for the management of water resources in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Applying the compound system of social, economic and ecological environment, this study established an evaluation index system. The evaluation index data is obtained through the relevant calculations based on the National Economic and Social Development Announcement, the Water Resources Bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics data. The index weights are calculated using a combination of rough set and fuzzy theory. The obtained weights were added to the set pair analysis method to acquire evaluation results. Based on the traditional set pair analysis method, this study proposes a new set pair analysis method (Method 4) using S-type functions (Formula (11)) instead of the addition weighted synthesis method (Formula (10)) in the calculation of weighted connections. In order to verify the feasibility of this method, the Spearman correlation coefficient method was used to calculate the correlation coefficient between evaluation results of Method 4 and evaluation results of other traditional methods. In addition, the set pair exponential potential is adopted to determine the impact indicators of the sustainable utilization of water resources in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in this study. The results show that in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the overall level of sustainable use of water resources has been gradually raised in the past 12 years. The results of the set pair analysis method that cites S-type functions have obtained higher Spearman correlation coefficients than traditional methods. The values of the correlation coefficients are 0.9954, 0.9910, and 0.9928 respectively in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. Moreover, according to the results of set pair exponential potential, the indicators in the region are quasi-inverse potential or strong inverse potential, including per capita water resources and the ecological environment water use rate. Thus, a dense population with scarce water resources, and a lack of ecological water are the common problems that Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have to face.
