“…Since the PSR framework can effectively link environmental and human factors together, it is a useful indicator evaluation model, so the PSR model was used in this study. There were also evaluation calculation methods such as fuzzy mathematical method (Cheng et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020), principal component analysis (Salata and Grillenzoni, 2021;Yang 2021;Boori et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2020;Sun et al, 2020), artificial neural network method (Bordbar et al, 2021;Song et al, 2021;Tian et al, 2022), entropy power method (He et al, 2021;Sun,2021;Zhao et al, 2018;Wang, 2022;Yu et al, 2020), hierarchical analysis (Rehman et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2022;Min and Pan, 2022;Kumar et al,2021;Thirumurthy et al, 2022), landscape ecology method (Maiti et al, 2022;Yang et al, 2022;Tavakoli et al, 2022) data processing models, etc. From the results of the above studies, although there were various evaluation models, a single model had been used in most of the current studies, and no hybrid model had been utilized to evaluate the ecological vulnerability of the region.…”

Ecological vulnerability reflects the ability of an ecosystem to resist adverse factors, and has become a global research hotspot. As an energy city in China and a city in the hinterland of the Loess Plateau, the study of Taiyuan's ecological vulnerability is of great importance. Most of the studies had used individual models, whose indicator weights were subject to large human factors or large compression of indicator information. In this study, an indicator evaluation system was developed based on the pressure state response (PSR). In order to overcome the shortcomings of a single model, a hybrid data processing model based on principal component analysis-entropy method (PCA-EM) was constructed in this study to study the ecological vulnerability of the area and compared with the principal component analysis model (PCA). Meanwhile, this study used Pearson correlation coefficients for analysis to evaluate the model performance and the influence of each parameter on ecological vulnerability. The research results illustrated that from 2000 to 2019, the EVI of Taiyuan showed a trend of first increasing and then gradually decreasing, indicating that it’s ecology was gradually improving. By comparing PCA method and PCA-EM method, the PCA-EM model could more objectively and reasonably evaluate the ecological environment of the region. Most of the indicators were negatively correlated with EVI, the highest correlation coefficient between per capita arable land and EVI. Furthermore, this study proposed a hybrid model to explore the ecological vulnerability status and influencing factors of the study area, providing an idea for data processing model.

“…The tourism industry will extend hospitality to its guests while maintaining and overseeing our culture and the learning atmosphere by upholding these tourism ideals [14]. Research has also demonstrated that vegetation plays a beneficial role in lessening the negative environmental effects of urban growth [15]. This is achieved by regulating the temperature, lowering atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, enhancing air quality, reducing runoff from rainfall, decreasing noise pollution, increasing urban energy efficiency, enhancing thermal comfort within buildings, and enhancing the visual appeal of urban areas [15,16].…”

“…It entails taking reasonable trips to protected regions, preserving the environment, and enhancing the quality of life for locals and the host communities [17,18]. Its goals could include educating tourists, funding environmental preservation, directly assisting local communities' political and economic advancement, and promoting tolerance for other people's cultures and human rights [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Environmentalists have viewed ecotourism as a vital undertaking since the 1980s, believing that it will allow future generations to visit places that have remained mostly unaffected by human involvement [18,19].…”

“…These wetlands can absorb and store large volumes of floodwater, which can help to lessen the frequency and severity of floods in the community (campus). A wetland can normally hold one million gallons of water, or around three acres, submerged three feet under [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]32]. When hurricanes or tropical storms hit land, coastal wetlands buffer land from storm surges [30][31][32].…”

“…When hurricanes or tropical storms hit land, coastal wetlands buffer land from storm surges [30][31][32]. In the Gulf Coast region, storm surge and wind wave activity produced by hurricanes and tropical storms can be significantly and possibly sustainably absorbed by barrier islands, shoals, marshes, and other coastal landscape features [15].…”

Teaching, learning, research, and development are all supported in a favorable atmosphere at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). The wetland systems made up of freshwater that are extremely biodiverse makeup about 10% of the total land area. Flooding, deforestation, excessive sedimentation, blockages to streams, abuse, overuse, and invasion of wetlands are some of the recent environmental challenges that the university faced. Urban heat island impacts, contaminants in the air, wetland degradation, social issues including stress, and a detachment from nature are all major concerns. With the green corridor behind the faculties of law and management science serving as a model supported by sustainability as a true foundation for UNILAG's campus landscapes, this article investigates the sustainable restoration of wetlands within the boundaries of the university. The use of qualitative techniques was employed, utilizing the Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis. Additionally, a geospatial mapping of the wetlands and tributaries that connect the Lagos Lagoon was conducted to evaluate the intrinsic ecological goods and services through a series of analytical steps, beginning with an analysis of the land area, current biodiversity, hydrology, and its potential through landscape mapping and analysis. The biophysical setup, landscape features, climatic data analysis, the ecological goods and services derived from the wetlands, and the records of flooding and rainfall are all included in the geospatial evaluation and analysis. The educational institution's site planning for the remediation of its wetlands takes into account the actual evolution of the area's drainage network. Throughout the wetlands, low carbon emissions are generated by off-road bike lanes, trails for walking, and raised hardwood platforms. Combining native plant species and park furniture, the academic landscape atmosphere will be improved in each of the wetlands and aesthetic values. the country's "University of First Choice" and its biophysically restored wetlands will help illuminate the landscape while the green corridors have an innate ability to attract human affinity within the academic community. All of these elements are implemented following an environmentally friendly landscape planning, management, design model, and enforcement process.
