“…However, they also believed in the future, they would interact again through reconstruction and renewal. (3) In the research on the port-city coordination, Llovera [25], Jeong [26], Jorrit [27], et al, selected ports in Latin America, Europe, Korea, Ghana and so on as their research objects. The effects of ports on urban spatial structure, policy and economy, and the impacts of urban morphology on port development were explored by the means of metrology and system dynamics so that better strategies and systems could be designed to facilitate the port-city coordination.…”

“…Thus, ports and port cities are playing indispensable roles of crucial platforms in international trade. Additionally, China's implementation of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative has helped to boost and upgrade ports and port cities [3] so that they are bearing greater responsibilities in international business. In turn, the port-city interaction will also foster international cooperation and promote the regional economic development so as to facilitate the initiative.…”

Although port-city interaction and sustainability are becoming increasingly essential, prospering regional economy and facilitating international shipping trade, problems of their mismatch and incoordination have also been aroused. Thus, research on their relationship is necessary to generate profound enlightenment on how to achieve healthy and benign development for ports and cities. In this paper, a typical Chinese port-city group, six ports and their corresponding port cities in Liaoning are selected as research objects. Firstly, a grey relative relational model and a coupling coordination degree model based on entropy weight method are applied to analyse the port-city interactive trend and degree as well as exploring the relative impacts among internal factors in port and city subsystems. Then, a sustainability analysis box of correlation–coordination is constructed to further investigate the sustainable development status. Finally, strategies for the port-city sustainable development are proposed. The results indicate the six port-city systems have not strongly correlated and are in the stage of coordinated development. Only Dalian and Yingkou have realized sustainable development. Thus, there is still much room for improvement. Measures such as resources integration and dislocation development should be taken into account to optimize the sustainable and coordinated development of the port-city systems.

“…The example proved that IFAHP can be used to deal with more complex problems. Gao et al [28] used IFAHP to evaluated the port competitiveness of Quanzhou Port and pointed out directions for the future development. Dai et al [29] applied fuzzy group ideal point method to evaluate the sustainable development of power grid enterprises, and the results showed that the proposed method have the best performance.…”

Carbon emissions and environmental protection issues have become the pressure from the international community during the current transitional stage of China’s energy transformation. China has set a macro carbon emission target, which will reduce carbon emissions per unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 40% in 2020 and 60–65% in 2030 than that in 2005. To achieve the emission reduction target, the industrial structure must be adjusted and upgraded. Furthermore, it must start from a high-pollution and high-emission industry. Therefore, it is of practical significance to construct a low-carbon sustainability and green operation benefits of power generation enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions. In this paper, an intuitionistic fuzzy comprehensive analytic hierarchy process based on improved dynamic hesitation degree (D-IFAHP) and an improved extreme learning machine algorithm optimized by RBF kernel function (RELM) are proposed. Firstly, we construct the evaluation indicator system of low-carbon sustainability and green operation benefits of power generation enterprises. Moreover, during the non-dimensional processing, the evaluation index system is determined. Secondly, we apply the evaluation indicator system by an empirical analysis. It is proved that the D-IFAHP evaluation model proposed in this paper has higher accuracy performance. Finally, the RELM is applied to D-IFAHP to construct a combined evaluation model named D-IFAHP-RELM evaluation model. The D-IFAHP evaluation results are used as the input of the training sets of the RELM algorithm, which simplifies the comprehensive evaluation process and can be directly applied to similar projects.

“…Most scholars affirm the positive impact of the "B&R" Initiative on the regional economy [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. At the national level, some scholars believe that the "B&R" Initiative can promote the economic development of participating countries and indicate that investment in non-monopoly enterprises accounts for the majority of the investment in non-infrastructure investment [17][18][19][20][21].…”

With the slowdown of global economic growth, how to stimulate economic growth has become a hot topic in recent years. The “Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative,” as a newly proposed global economic stimulus plan, has attracted widespread attention from scholars. In this study, the research used the propensity score matching difference in difference (PSM-DID) method to evaluate whether the “B&R” Initiative has promoted the economic growth of the countries along the route. Objectively assessing the effect of its implementation is not only important for its completion and improvement in the future but also to verify whether the “B&R” Initiative promotes economic growth in participating countries. A logistic regression is constructed using the statistical data obtained by the World Bank on 110 countries from 2011 to 2016. The results show that the “B&R” Initiative has effectively promoted the rapid growth of the GDP of participating countries but the improvement of per capita GDP growth is not significant. Through the analysis of the selected variables, corresponding policy recommendations are proposed. Moreover, objective proofs are provided to encourage all the countries in the world to participate in the “B&R” Initiative.
