本研究では，地域における再生可能エネルギー技術の導入がもたらす環境・社会経済効果を評価するための再生可能エネルギー部門拡張産業連関モデル・地域版（Renewable Energy Focused Input-Output model for Region: REFIORegion）を開発している。REFIO-Regionの作成は次の２段階のプロセスで構成されている。第一に，国と47都道府県の産業連関表，経済センサス活動調査など各種統計を用いて，1,741 市区町村の産業連関表（地域内表）を作成している。 第二に，1,741市区町村を任意の２地域に分類して２地域間表とするとともに，12種の再生可能エネルギー技術に関わる部門を結合することで，２地域間産業連間モデル，すなわちREFIO-Regionを構築している。REFIO-Regionは，わが国の1,741市区町村の産業構造ならびに12...

There is no quantitative statistical or correlation analysis to support the claims made on the relation between environmental factors and benthic biogeochemical rates. Section 4.2.1 suggests a direct link between organic matter input and sulfate reduction rates. However, this is concluded from a very qualitative inspection of the data. This comment is equally applicable to the other environment...

This study employs Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) to estimate environmental impact of salt plugs using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). VNIR and SWIR datasets of ASTER were assessed in mapping and detecting Jahani, Konarsiah, and Kohe Gach salt plugs and the affected areas located at SE Shiraz, Iran. PC color composite and geological map of the region were u...

Crop production process utilizes input energy and produces some biomass energy as output.  During this process, greenhouse gases (GHGs) are also emitted which can make environmental risks. In this study, input and output energies, energy indices, and GHG emissions arising from inputs were estimated for wheat-cotton rotation under different tillage practices in Fars province. The study was condu...
