“…Ecosystem service flow refers to the spatial transfer process of ecosystem services from supply areas to demand areas and serves as a crucial bridge linking ecosystem services with human well-being [37,38]. Research on ecosystem service flow helps us to understand the entire process of the generation, transmission, and utilization of ecosystem services; assess the balance between the supply and demand of ecosystem services; and provide a basis for the planning and optimization of ecological infrastructure [39,40]. In recent years, there has been an increase in application cases involving ecosystem service flow.…”

“…A few scholars have conducted research on ecological infrastructure from the perspective of ecosystem service flow. For example, Myriam J. Perschke and colleagues used ecological infrastructure to comprehensively map ecosystem service demands, flows, and capacities for sports events, recreation, and coastal protection, conducting spatial assessments and planning to identify locations for the enhanced management and restoration of these particularly sensitive ecosystems [40]. Francesc Baró analyzed the capacity, flow, and demand for two types of ecosystem services (air purification and outdoor recreation) in the Barcelona metropolitan area, finding that the flow of these services mainly occurs in suburban green spaces, with the highest capacity values often appearing in protected areas in the suburbs of the metropolitan area [52].…”

Ecological infrastructure plays a crucial role in strengthening the relationship between humans and the environment by optimizing ecological space and resource allocation in urban environments. However, there are few studies on the functional assessment and spatial and temporal evolution of ecological infrastructure and its layout optimization. In this study, we developed an ecological infrastructure optimization method based on ecosystem service supply, demand, and flow in Yantai City as the study area; identified the spatial extent of urban ecological infrastructure and its spatial and temporal changes based on the spatial quantification of multiple ecosystem services; assessed whether the existing ecological infrastructure could satisfy the needs of the urban residents by calculating the ecosystem service supply and demand indexes; and used the spatial quantification of ecosystem service flows to optimize the spatial layout of urban ecological infrastructure. This study shows that, from 2010 to 2018, ecological infrastructure in Longkou, Zhaoyuan, and Laiyang decreased, contrasting with the growth in the existing peripheral areas. The study found a clear spatial mismatch between the supply and demand of ecosystem services, especially in the central urban areas, suggesting that the existing infrastructure was unable to satisfy the needs of high-demand areas. This study assessed the peripheral areas of the city using comparative ecological radiation force (CERF), including 314.64 km2 of environmentally beautiful village units as key components of ecological infrastructure in Yantai City. These findings are crucial for sustainable environmental management and urban development strategies.

“…Its theoretical basis mainly covers modern health science, welfare economics, tourism sociology, and population geography and other subject knowledge. The research content mainly focuses on the conceptual connotation of health and wellness tourism (Lyulicheva et al, 2023), the health and wellness functions of health and wellness tourism (Sthapit et al, 2023), the dynamic mechanism of health and wellness tourism (Bočkus et al, 2023), the innovative development of health and wellness tourism, and the classification and evaluation of health and wellness tourism resources (Phuthong et al, 2023), spatial flow characteristics of health and wellness tourists (Zhou et al, 2023;Perschke et al, 2023) and other aspects. In aggregate, the extant body of scholarly inquiry pertaining to wellness tourism is notably copious.…”

This study endeavors to delve into the intricacies of tourist contentment and proclivities in the realm of ecological health tourism activities within Bama, Guangxi. An exploration of the intricate structural relationships is undertaken, unraveling the quintet of variables encompassing tourists' engagement in Bama's ecological health tourism - namely, the effects of activities, the experiential facet of activities, the pecuniary dimension of activities, coupled with tourist satisfaction and behavioral intent. Employing the methodological framework of constructing a structural equation model, this study leverages IBM SPSS 23.0 software to execute correlation analyses across various variables, including demographic information statistics, reliability and validity metrics. Survey research orbits around the quintet of variables. The findings illuminate that the experiential tapestry woven by tourists partaking in ecological health tourism activities exerts a conspicuously affirmative influence on both their satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Conversely, the financial investment made by tourists in ecologi cal health tourism activities manifests a counteractive impact on their satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Evidently, heightened tourist activity experiences and diminished costs conduce to the facilitation of tourists' aspirations for individualistic tourism activities, thereby enhancing travel satisfaction and behavioral intent. Nevertheless, the potency of tourists' activity effe cts on tourist satisfaction remains suboptimal. Consequently, it is proffered that the propagation of health care paradigms be fortified, coupled with the augmentation of activity experience design. Further, the optimization of cost structures and the enhancement of resource utilization efficiency are recommended, alongside ameliorating activity effects and steering behavioral intent. This comprehensive approach is anticipated to immerse tourists more profoundly into the local ethos of longevity culture, thereby fostering the robust and sustainable evolution of longevity tourism in Bama.

“…The effectiveness of land conservation policies, such as ecological compensation and restoration, has been evaluated [16]. Spatial assessment and planning have been conducted by mapping ecosystem services' demand, flow, and capacity [17]. Although previous research has confirmed that ecosystem services have theoretical and practical support in territory space planning, the application of territory space supply in territory spatial protection and governance was unclear.…”

Territory space is an ecological resource carrier and place for human development. Human activities and ecological systems are the basis of ecological product supply. Promoting territories’ spatial protection and governance by improving the supply of ecological products is very important. In this study, we established an ecological product supply capacity evaluation index system involving three types of ecological products, i.e., ecological environmental products, ecological material products, and ecological cultural products. For the case of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, we comprehensively used principal component analysis, the equivalent factor method, and the entropy method to evaluate the supply capacity of ecological products from 2011 to 2021. Then, we analyzed the spatio-temporal pattern, combining the natural breakpoint and quantile classification methods, and analyzed the obstacle factors using the obstacle degree model of ecological supply. The results show that the supply capacity of different ecological products in each city are closely related to their ecological resource endowment. The supply capacity of ecological products exhibited an upward trend, with the highest ecological environmental product supply being relatively smaller than the ecological material product supply, while the largest growth rate was for ecological cultural product supply. The supply capacity of different ecological products varied across cities over time and displayed noticeable spatial differentiation. The main obstacle factors included eco-land, eco-tourism, eco-leisure, park green space, and fishery products, although there were variations among cities. Finally, based on the level, spatial-temporal pattern, and obstacle factors of ecological product supply, we proposed strategies for territory spatial protection and governance from the perspectives of the integrated protection of elements, structural regulation, and systematic governance. The results reflected the ecological functional heterogeneity of the territory space, which can provide spatial planning guidance for sustainable development.
