“…The classification of cultural services is divided into cultural diversity, spiritual, religious values, knowledge systems, educational values, inspiration, aesthetic values, social relations, sense of place, cultural heritage values, entertainment, and ecotourism (MEA, 2005). Recently, a number of studies have evaluated cultural services according to classifications, and enriching categories, such as therapy, life-sustaining (Sherrouse et al, 2017), and sports services (Dai et al, 2019).…”

The need to save mangroves is growing, however, debasement has persisted for decades, because the processes of decision-making are inefficient, found solely on economic factors. This study provides a tool for mangrove conservation and management to explore the socio-cultural values of mangrove ecosystem services through research in Xuan Thuy National Park, one of nine Ramsars in Vietnam, and also an area heavily affected by shrimp farming. 150 households were selected for an interview, 5 focus group discussions in 5 buffer zone communes, 10 in-depth interviews were carried out to find out the ecosystem services that mangroves provide, compared with literature review, and 3 cultural services listed by the local people as the characteristics of the mangroves here are lifestyle change, strengthening family relationship, implicit division of labor in the community. This proves that local people are ambassadors connecting the mangroves and the government. This finding suggests that the socio-cultural aspect of mangrove services should be deliberated by policymakers as a measure of great concern when facing the challenges of wetland ecosystem conservation.

“…The construction of sports organizations at all levels is still very imperfect, and the guidance of scientific sports and fitness is still lagging compared with developed countries, which is a serious challenge to developing and reforming sports in China. This is a very serious challenge to the development and reform of sports in China [4][5][6][7].…”

In the context of sports development, the demand for sports resources is increasing daily, and improving the efficiency of sports resource allocation is especially important. This paper first explores the principle of sports resource allocation, selects indicators according to input and output, and constructs an efficient evaluation system for sports resource allocation. Then, we use the fuzzy cluster analysis method to optimize the objective function and the FCM algorithm to select the cluster center and the number of clusters. To study the efficiency difference between urban and rural sports resource allocation, we analyzed the effectiveness and reliability of sports resource allocation in urban communities. The study shows that the average classification accuracy of the FCM algorithm is 97.87%, and the mean value of sports resource allocation efficiency in towns is 0.1348 higher than that in villages.

“…Urban parks could also provide a wide range of cultural ecosystem services for citizens, including leisure and recreation, aesthetic appreciation and education [8,9]. Urban parks have also been recognized as contributing to human wellbeing by creating positive impacts on physical and mental health [1, [10][11][12][13][14][15]. As an essential part of green infrastructure, urban parks also offer various socioeconomic benefits [16][17][18].…”

Urban parks provide multiple ecosystem services as an important element of the urban space and improve human health and wellbeing. This study used the Gaussian-based 2SFCA method to evaluate the spatiotemporal distribution of and changes in park accessibility within the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing over 15 years. The study also used bivariate correlation analysis to analyze the relationship between urbanization factors and park access. The results showed that the overall park accessibility in both quantity and proximity had increased from 2000 to 2015, but there were still certain areas (percentage) that had limited access to parks. The inequity of distribution in park accessibility had been detected accompanying the rapid increase in park quantity in 2015. Furthermore, the development of urban parks mismatched that of urbanization in terms of urban land increase. The correlation between accessibility changes and population urbanization is not significant. Proper urban green space planning based on the distribution of population density and urban land use is indispensable in avoiding the aggravation of inequity in the process of urban expansion. This study contributes to the assessment of the current park allocation efficiency and helps urban planners and policymakers make prompt adjustments in the rapidly urbanizing process.
