“…For siting small containers, suitable area covered 0.86 km 2 (8.31%) whiles unsuitable area covered 9.49 km 2 (91.69%). These findings serve as important tool for identification, comparison and multi-criterion decision making analysis of solid waste containers' proper planning and management as indicated by Parry et al (2018). Nas et al (2010) applied same method in the selection of municipal solid waste landfill site for Konya, Turkey and obtained 6.8% as most suitable area.…”

Solid waste receptacles siting is becoming increasingly difficult due to increase in population and infrastructure development that has limited available space for waste collection. This study focused on selection of environmentally friendly sites for waste receptacle placement in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) based on multi-criteria decision analysis in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. ArcGIS software was used in overlaying different thematic maps in order to generate suitable areas for siting communal containers and small bins. Environmental criteria considered include river bodies, vegetation, road network, buildings, car park and slope. The analytical hierarchy procedure was used to determine the weight of each criterion used in finding the suitable sites. The final suitability maps generated showed areas deemed suitable for siting communal containers and small bins. Out of the total land area of KNUST (10.35 km 2), 0.86 km 2 representing 8.31% was suitable for siting small bins. For communal containers, the final suitability map indicated that 1.69 km 2 (16.33%) and 0.73 km 2 (7.05%) of the total land area were suitable and most suitable sites respectively. The findings from this study serve as guidance tool for environmentally friendly solid waste receptacle siting and good health promotion with efficient land use planning.

In order to take full advantage of the landscape resources in the city’s featured landscape planning, and mutually integrate ecological green land with city space, this paper takes the mountainous city, Qianxi County, as the research subject to conduct an ecological sensitivity analysis with the GIS space analytical method, while adopting the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to find a landscape resource assessment system for Qianxi County. Based on the analysis of the mountainous city landscape pattern characteristics and ecological adaptability, the paper combines with the landscape planning practice in Qianxi County and starts from the ecological pattern construction and urban landscape resource assessment to expound the methodological guidance function of the GIS-AHP analytical method for the mountainous city landscape planning. This method helps recognize the characteristics of the city landscape resources in an all-sided way that protects the city landscape, improves the use-value of the mountainous city landscape resources, integrates the city land area with the water area landscape’s green land and builds an ecological, cultural, and habitable mountainous city featured landscape pattern.

“…The main plant types in the river basin are cultivated herbs, shrubs, brushes, coniferous and broadleaf tress, grasses and coniferous broad-leaved mixed trees ( Figure 4 ). Considering the land use classification of GB/T 21010-2007 [ 31 ], the ecological service function unit of the value calculation of ecosystem services and the regional situation of the study area, the land use types primarily include nine categories: cultivated land, orchard land, forest land, grassland, residential and urban construction land, waterbodies, marsh, snow and ice, and unused land ( Figure 5 ).…”

With regional socio-economic development and increasing population, the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystem environments on the earth’s surface have changed markedly. Ecological shelter zone reconstruction (ESZR) is an ecosystem restoration and conservation project, which aims to ensure the safety of the ecological environments of—regions and basins. We selected the upper reaches of the Yangtze River (from Yibin to Chongqing) as the study area and determined the connotation of ESZR. At the same time, the planning scope and construction content of the ecological barrier in this specific region have been preliminarily explored. Meanwhile, a set of related planning methods was proposed, the ecological effects of which were quantitatively assessed and confirmed through the calculation of ESVs. Compared with the conditions in 2005, the study showed that the value of the services of the whole ecosystem augmented significantly under the slope classification, increasing by 103.23%. At the same time, the land use pattern has been optimized, and the vegetation coverage has been enhanced. The ESZR can effectively improve the ecosystem service function of slope land (mainly slope > 25°) and the regional ecological environment, solve the rocky desertification of the study area and provide an effective decision in relation to supporting regional green sustainable development.
