“…However, the SKOLKA estimating equations were not formally derived, so certain desirable properties are not ensured. The most extensive derivation to date is the 14 estimating equations, comparable analytically with that of a neoclassical, two-tier KLEM (capital, labour, energy and materials) production function, by ROSE and CHEN (1991a). This was also the first paper to attempt to address the properties of the structural decomposition analysis production function and to compare them with neoclassical formulations.…”

Morocco is among the countries with low per capita water resources endowments. The average annual fresh water resources are estimated at 22 billion cubic metres, which is equivalent to 730 m 3 /capita/year. This figure is already lower than the threshold between water-stressed and scarce areas defined internationally to 1000 m 3 /capita/year. Groundwater resources account for about 20% (4173 hm 3 ), of this average while surface water AbstractOver the last few decades, Morocco has been undergoing a strong and fast water demand increase due to demographic upsurge, irrigated agriculture expansion, flourishing foreign trade and changing standard of living and lifestyles. The continued increase of water demand has imposed a height pressure over national scare water resources. Despite this worrying situation, the imperative of sustainable water use and management has created a need for compulsory information to define and implement economic and water-saving policies in an integrated and informed manner. This paper uses an input-output model of water use to analyse the relationships between economic sectors and water resources use in Morocco (i.e. direct water use) as well as the intersectoral water relationships (i.e. indirect water use). The results show that, on the one hand, Agriculture, hunting and forestry sector exhibits high direct water use. On the other hand, secondary and tertiary sectors display low direct use and high indirect water use. Typical examples of sectors with high indirect water use are manufacture of food and tobacco products and hotels and restaurants sectors. Further by means of the impact analysis, we have demonstrated that the economic sectors whose indirect water use coefficients are high have a significant influence on water resources by means of their "drag effect" on water use of other sectors. The results highlight the added value of conducting an analysis of the intersectoral water relationships and suggest that it is important to take into account in the processes of policy definition not only the direct water use but also the indirect water use, because neglecting them could threaten our water resources.

“…Structural decomposition analysis (SDA) is widely used to explain changes in the dependent variable by decomposing it into several independent variables, in order to measure the contribution of each independent variable to the dependent variable over time Rose and Chen, 1991). The method of SDA is often applied in input-output analysis in the field of energy consumption and emissions Hoekstra and van den Bergh, 2003;Han and Lakshmanan, 1994;Lin and Polenske, 1995).…”

Enhancing the Understanding of Urban Systems for Sustainability Transition: A Study of Urban Environmental Management in the Natural Resource-Based Industrial City of Jinchang, China

Rapid world urbanisation calls attention to the issue of sustainable urban development. Urbanisation problems are especially pressing in the industrial cities of China, where environmental conditions have deteriorated with rapid economic and urban development. This study is an exploration of sustainability in an urban context using the natural resource-based industrial city of Jinchang in N.W.China as a case study. The main objective of this study has been to gain a better understanding of urban systems and potential ways of facilitating urban sustainability.The study demonstrates that urban transitions toward sustainability can be facilitated by a systematic and holistic understanding of complex urban systems. The study established a theoretical framework for understanding sustainable urban development and reviewed China's environmental governance philosophies to provide a cultural and political context. A mixed methodology that combined quantitative and qualitative approaches was then applied to Jinchang City to test this framework.Urban metabolism modelling using Material Flow Analysis (MFA) was used to model Jinchang's urban biophysical system and evaluate its sustainability potential over a twenty years period. The study showed that Jinchang's urban development relies heavily on local resources with high material/energy consumption and high waste/pollution generation. This directly challenges sustainable urban development. However, a sustainable trend was observed as economic growth has been strongly decoupled from air pollution while material utilisation efficiency has significantly improved. This suggests that synchronised progress in economic development and environmental improvement requires radical transformations of dematerialisation and decoupling of economic growth from material/energy consumption by adopting technical approaches of cleaner production, circular economy and economic structural adjustment.A field inquiry with semi-structured interview as the main approach explored multi-level human responses to urban problems. This provided insights into the real world from a bottom-up perspective and helped to gain an in-depth understanding of human-environment interactions. The model of urban social system based on public responses revealed that the influences of urban social system on sustainable urban development are determined by key factors in three clusters: commitment of stakeholders, institutional development, and personal development. The challenge for a transition to sustainable behaviour is to bridge the gaps between knowledge and practice. The commitment of government is particularly important in promoting collaboration and participation of stakeholders to fill knowledge gaps and confront governance challenges. Cultural and personal development are soft ii power to accelerate this transition by promoting the knowledge, motivation and commitment of stakeholders. The study suggests that transitions towards sustainability involve multi-level reforms and their synthesis across levels ...
