“…Furthermore, natural resources are not only those related to industry, but also agricultural resources, tourism resources, etc. Some scholars studied how to manage the relationship between various human activities in an integrated manner in the areas with these resources as their main economic drivers, in order for them to continue to develop sustainably [15,16].…”

For a specific small-scale region with abundant resources, its copious resources tend to dictate the basic direction of its development, and may subsequently give rise to an industrial structure centered on the advantageous resources. This can give rise to an economic structure that lacks diversity, causing the economic development in the entire local region to fall into the dilemma of the resource curse. The present study conducts a case study from the perspective of small-scale regions, incorporating various types of resource-dependent cities in China, including Qingyang, Jinchang, and Baiyin, to interpret and analyze the resource curse effect by calculating a resource curse coefficient. Moreover, based on the regression model, the present study further discusses the empirical relations associated with the resource curse phenomenon. The results show that, regardless of whether a resource-dependent city is in the early, intermediate or late stage of its resource development, economic development is always plagued by the resource curse effect to a certain degree. Resource development cannot promote economic development, rather, it inhibits economic growth to some extent, resulting in an array of effects that are unfavorable to economic development, rendering the development unsustainable. For different types of resource-dependent cities, resource curse effect exhibits distinct characteristics. The resource curse effect is strongest for a resource-dependent city during an economic recession, is less severe during a development period, and is weakest during maturation. Resource development not only has a direct adverse impact on economic growth, but also often affects economic growth in multiple ways and on various levels through the Dutch disease effect, the crowding out effect, and the institution weakening effect. Until now, most results show that there is no obvious resource curse effect at the national and provincial level. The verification results of small-scale regions show that the resource curse effect at the city level still exists. In addition, the resource curse effect differs across different types of resource-dependent cities.

“…In this sense, it is, therefore, important in long-term recovery processes to factor in the environmental resilience variable of the damaged ecosystem itself. There have been some approaches to this question in the case of coastal lagoons and wetlands, such as in Reference [51]. Nevertheless, this question is currently a field in which future lines of research should be developed to refine the models and make them even more realistic.…”

“…In this context, the use of a socio-ecological framework implementing economical approaches and GIS methodologies for the diagnosing and managing complex natural areas exposed to the intense process of diffuse or specific anthropization can prove very interesting [2,49,50]. The breakthrough developed by GIS tools in recent years can bring new high value approaches to the existing integrated management strategies in the field of diagnostics [14,51], participation of stakeholders, and implementation of measures for the recovery of these areas facing environmental crises. This article presents a comprehensive socio-ecological framework implemented with GIS and cost value methodologies for the Mar Menor lagoon in Spain and its latest results, which have become a case of some success in 2018 in the aftermath of an environmental crisis of the international relevance in 2015.…”

Enclosed coastal seas and wetlands are areas of high ecological value with singular fauna and flora, but several cases of environmental catastrophes in recent decades can easily be referenced in the international literature. The management of these natural territories is complex in developed countries since they are usually subjected to intense human activity with a varied catalog of activities and anthropizing features that alter the balance of the ecosystem. In this article, the concept of the Socio-Ecological System (SES) to diagnose and achieve a sustainable cohabitation between human anthropization and the natural values based on the tool of GIS participatory mapping is proposed as an innovative approach for the management and recovery of these complex areas. The article develops a comprehensive general methodology of spatial GIS diagnosis, planning, and co-management implementation between public and private stakeholders combined with economic tools such as the Willingness to Pay (WTP) and the Cost Transfer Sector (CTS). This innovative approach is applied to the Mar Menor lagoon, which is an international and successful case study of environmental recovery on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The coastal lagoon suffered an unprecedented eutrophication crisis in 2015, but it managed to recover in the summer of 2018 without the need to implement major structural measures. In this case study, several solutions to redress the current impacts will be developed through a participatory process based on GIS mapping. Lastly, the discussion reflects the concept of self-resilience of an ecosystem based on the unexpected positive turn of the environmental crisis in the lagoon ending.

“…In Morocco, an area of 92 km 2 surrounding the Nador lagoon is agricultural, most of which is irrigated (El Yaouti et al, 2008;García-Ayllón, 2017). There is intensive cereal production to the south of the lagoon (Giuliani et al, 2015a), with barley occupying 56% of total area, olive trees nearly 22%, and other crops approximately 22%.…”
