“…Paris is the largest city in France. In order to improve metropolitan governance in Paris, France, launched the Greater Paris plan to promote the green, low-carbon, and sustainable development in Paris, which realized the reorganization of the Paris transportation network and the integration of urban and suburban development [32,33].…”

With the rapid development of smart cities all over the world, the evaluation of the smart city has become a new research hotspot in the academic circles. Nevertheless, there still exist a series of common problems in current smart city evaluation, including the cognitive deprivation, lack of experience in planning, low coordination level, etc. Therefore, it is critical to establish a new hierarchy for smart city evaluation indicators, especially in the 5G era. Based on literature review, expert consensus, and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, this study developed an innovative smart city evaluation framework. In the framework, an index comprising three dimensions, i.e., smart economy, smart society, and smart environmental protection, as well as several attributes for these dimensions for smart city evaluation were established. Then, taking Jiangsu Province, the fastest-growing province in China, as the research area, the development level of smart city for the cities in Jiangsu was calculated. The results have verified the effectiveness of the framework, which can provide suggestions for sustainable urbanization, and help urban decision-makers to promote the efficient development of smart cities.

“…According to Nor et al [26], the expansion of cities can lead to the reduction and fragmentation of green spaces. Roussel and Alexander [27] stated that social policies are effective in the regional positive or negative change of vegetation cover in Paris. In China, increasing urban population density and non-agricultural working population have significantly affected the distribution of green spaces [19].…”

Urban ecology is a factor that significantly affects the urban landscape. Proper management and sustainable planning of ecosystems in cities can help urban landscapes to increase biodiversity and contribute to the efficient use of natural resources. In this framework, the integration of green spaces and ecosystem services can improve the quality of urban landscapes by increasing the health and resilience of urban ecosystems. This paper, which examines the effects of ecological factors on urban landscape in Antalya-Muratpaşa, presents a detailed analysis using various data sets. Within the scope of the research, the number of vehicles, carbon emissions by years, the ratio of green areas to population, CORINE data and land surface temperatures were analyzed. In addition, the change in land use from 1990 to 2018 and the land surface temperature forecast for 2040 and 2041 shed light on the evolutionary processes in the city. In an effort to understand the ecological status of Antalya-Muratpaşa, the paper highlights the potential impacts on the sustainability of the urban landscape. In particular, predicting the possible impacts of future land use on the urban landscape with population growth offers a strategic approach in planning processes. This study can be an important resource for urban planners, researchers and local governments because the data in the Antalya-Muratpaşa case provides a comprehensive overview that can guide those who want to consider sustainability and environmental factors in urban landscape planning. In line with this perspective, it is recommended to encourage green roof and green facade practices, rainwater harvesting, gray water recycling, etc. in new constructions.

“…Ongoing landscape changes have caused a range of environmental and ecological problems globally, including habitat destruction, soil degradation, primary productivity decline, and biodiversity loss (Imhoff et al, 2004;Guida Johnson and Zuleta, 2013;Zhang et al, 2016;Zhou et al, 2018). Especially in recent decades, the dominant landscape of coastal wetlands has been gradually replaced by artificial landscapes with the expansion of construction land, resulting in regional ecosystem changes and the formation of more scattered and complex landscape patterns (Dadashpoor et al, 2019;Roussel and Alexandre, 2021). This makes landscape fragmentation a common feature of the evolution of coastal tidal flats landscapes (Plexida et al, 2014;Pace et al, 2017;Skilleter et al, 2017).…”

Estuarine tidal flats are located in the land-sea crisscross-sensitive zone. The degraded and shrinking state of major tidal flat landscapes weakens their ecological role in maintaining the safety of coastal wetlands in the world. However, little attention has been paid to tidal flat landscape evolution and ecological risks due to the tidal flats being located in the periphery of estuarine wetlands. This study was conducted in the tidal flats of the Liaohe estuary wetlands. The GIS spatial analysis and a transition matrix were combined to explore the tidal flat landscape evolution characteristics. The ecological risk faced by the tidal flats was evaluated by a landscape ecological risk model constructed by landscape indexes. The key driving factors and threshold values that affect the ecological risks were clarified using geographical detectors and regression analysis methods. The results showed that the tidal flats mainly evolved into a natural wetland before 2000 and rapidly changed into an artificial landscape between 2000 and 2010; the proportion of artificial landscapes then began to decline after 2010. Over the past 30 years, the landscape ecological risk in this area has generally been at a medium risk level. The ecological risk index showed a decreasing trend with the increases in landscape diversity. The low-risk artificial plaques have gradually replaced high-risk and medium-risk plaques of exposed tidal flats and natural wetlands. The study showed that human development activities were the key factors affecting the landscape ecological risks of the tidal flats. River sediment discharge was the key natural factor in maintaining the landscape ecological risk at a stable level. Therefore, the human development activities should be controlled within an appropriate limit, and the material supply of the upstream basin should be guaranteed to maintain the stability of the tidal flat landscape form in the protection and utilization of estuarine tidal flats in the future.
