Evaluation of the carrying capacity of marine industrial parks: A case study in China

Ecological carrying capacity of public green spaces as a sustainability index of urban population: a case study of Mashhad city in Iran

“…Ecological carrying capacity of public green spaces is a specific type of carrying capacity and refers to the carrying capacity of the physio-ecological and social environment with respect to urban development. It represents the maximum level of visits as a certain quantity measurement (Jiang et al 2017), which an urban area can support. As a measure of sustainability, urban carrying capacity is an important conceptual underpinning that guides local governments and urban planners in promoting sustainable urban development (Wei et al 2015).…”

Four-dimensional evaluation and forecasting of marine carrying capacity in China: Empirical analysis based on the entropy method and grey Verhulst model

“…Based on the theory and practice of environment and resource carrying capacity, and to meet the needs to explore marine resources and develop a marine-based “blue economy” ( Jiang et al, 2017 ; Sangha et al, 2019 ), researchers have begun to incorporate the ocean into their evaluation frameworks. Some researchers have applied one or more aspects of carrying capacity, such as environment, ecological, or social dimensions.…”

“…In addition, Jiang et al (2017) considered marine industrial parks in Shandong Province, rather than an administrative district as their research objective, to build an index system incorporating three dimensions (pressure, bearing, and transformation) with 32 indicators to delineate comprehensive carrying capacity values. According to various types of parks, the results indicated that the modern marine service industry and fishery industrial parks perform well in terms of carrying capacity, with an improving development trend.…”

“…However, despite the abovementioned discussions, existing research has only focused on marine carrying capacity evaluation of one aspect (e.g., the ecological dimension in Ma et al, 2017 ), conducted comprehensive analysis in a specific region (e.g., Guangxi Province in Han et al, 2018 ) or a park (such as marine industrial parks in Jiang et al, 2017 ), or with a specific assessment aim (e.g., estimation of beach economic value in Rodella et al, 2020 ). Thus, comprehensive evaluation of marine carrying capacity of multiple dimensions across all 11 coastal regions of China is lacking.…”
