“…Therefore, spillover effects are presented from the rest of the variables including CO 2 emissions per capita. Liu et al [25] agreed with the idea of spatial dependency as well, and in their study on China, they have argued that Chinese provinces are spatially dependent on each other in terms of eco-environment while urbanization has a strong role in that as well. Ge et al [7] agreed to the concept of spatial dependency in terms of emissions in China.…”

“…Liu et al [25] conducted a spatial analysis on China and mentioned that there is an existence of spatial correlation in 30 selected provinces of China and as time passes, this spatial binding keeps getting more intense. Two main analyzed instruments during the research are urbanization and eco-environment.…”

“…A wide variety of studies conducted on the topic so far is mostly limited to testing the existence of EKC in the Asia region [3,19] or to limit the scope to find the monotonic effect of different variables on the pollution emissions in South and Southeast Asia [15][16][17][18] and does not proceed to incorporate spatial effects. Other than studies conducted on China [1,2,[5][6][7][8][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], no extensive research has been done on EKC with the prevalence of spatial effects in the panel of East Asia region which is a vast research gap that this study focuses on filling.…”

“…Xiaong et al [20] have tested the effect of FMD on CO 2 emissions in a single country case of China, but no study has yet tested the effect of FMD in a panel of East Asia. Additionally, the role of spatial dependency is something that is scant in the empirical environment literature; although, a good number of studies have investigated the spatial effects in the provinces or cities of China [1,2,[5][6][7][8][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, this analysis is totally absent for a panel of East Asia, and there is a need to incorporate this idea into research.…”

This paper aspires to examine the environmental effects of financial market development (FMD), foreign direct investment (FDI), and trade openness on the CO 2 emissions per capita along with the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in six East Asian countries from 1991-2014. For this purpose, spatial econometrics is applied to consider the spillover effects from neighboring countries. The results of the study corroborate the spillover effects from neighboring countries' CO 2 emissions per capita, FMD, FDI, and trade openness, and the EKC hypothesis is proven true in this region. Local FDI inflows, trade openness, and energy intensity are found to be responsible for local environmental degradation. Local FMD has an insignificant environmental effect, but neighboring countries' FMD has contributed to the local CO 2 emissions per capita. Further, positive (negative) environmental spillover effects are found from neighboring countries' FDI (trade openness).

“…The response subsystem largely reflects the series of environmental protection and governance strategies implemented in order to cope with urban river health issues, and to realize the sustainable development of human society. Following existing research [36], the PSR urban river health framework is shown in Figure 2. The evaluation index system of urban river health used in the current study was constructed in line with the PSR model.…”

Urban rivers are valuable elements of urban ecosystems and play a key role in urban socio-economic development. Unfortunately, the functional integrity of urban rivers is being threatened by extensive human activities associated with the social development. Urban river health evaluation is important, as it may provide policy makers with information that is fundamental for river governance and the protection of urban ecosystems. To this purpose, we first constructed an urban river health assessment index system based on the pressure-state-response (PSR) framework. Secondly, we developed an urban river health index (uRHI) using the improved fuzzy matter-element extension assessment model. Finally, we used the uRHI to assess the health state of the Jialu River from 2008 to 2017 in Zhengzhou City, China. The results indicate that the health state of the Jialu River was improved from an unhealthy state in 2008 to a sub-healthy state in 2017. The pressure, state, and response subsystems developed towards a healthier state from 2008 to 2017, thanks to the implementation of a number of actions by the local government. However, the overall health status of the Jialu River is still relatively low. The Jialu River also faces several pressures, such as substantial Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) emissions and sewage discharge. This paper concludes that it is necessary to further strengthen the health management of the Jialu River and the protection of Zhengzhou's water environment.

As ecological civilization construction receives growing attention in China, the eco‐friendliness of the power supply structure is becoming increasingly important. Thermal power and hydropower are the two major power sources in China. Hydropower has both positive and negative effects on the ecosystem. However, there are few studies on the comprehensive impact of hydropower on the ecosystem. Therefore, the main innovation of this article is to integrally and comprehensively study the impact of hydropower to propose recommendations for hydropower development. The study of hydropower's effects on the overall ecosystem including resources, the environment, and economic society reflects the integrity, and the simultaneous study of hydropower's positive and negative effects reflects the comprehensiveness. First, this paper constructs a system dynamics (SD) model that can analyze the impact of replacing thermal power with hydropower on the ecosystem and proposes an improved coupling coordination degree (CCD) model. Then, this paper takes the province of Fujian as an example for SD scenario simulation and proposes recommendations for each indicator in the ecology subsystem. Finally, this paper performs CCD analysis on subsystems of the ecology subsystem in different policy scenarios and provides suggestions for future hydropower development in Fujian. Results show that hydropower technology improvement and efficiency increase (HTIEI) is more conducive to the development of the overall ecosystem. The scientificity of the current hydropower policy in Fujian is proven through theoretical analysis, and further hydropower development proposals are proposed. This paper provides a basis for the formulation of power generation policies and promotes ecological civilization construction for Fujian. The proposed methods in this paper can also provide tools for policy research on clean energy power generation.
