the aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a dpsir model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

human habitat change is a complicated issue that many factors play different roles in its formation and distribution. considering this complication, a more comprehensive and holistic approach is needed for a better understanding and management of those factors. the causal frameworks are among systemic and integrated methods for addressing the causes of environmental problems and the relationshi...

Mangroves provide multiple benefits, from carbon storage and shoreline protection to food and energy for natural resource-dependent coastal communities. However, they are coming under increasing pressure from climate change, coastal development, and aquaculture. There is increasing need to better understand the changes mangroves face and whether these changes differ or are similar in different ...

Strategic researches on green mine construction are of great theoretical and practical significance to the sustainable development of China's mining industry as well as the great-leapforward development strategies of China. Strategies of green mine construction in China are methods summarized to solve all potential problems from mine production to ecological restoration. At present, strategies ...

Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (IAHS) are complex adaptive systems that multidimensional and exhibit strategic values of sustainability. In the context modernization, IAHS have been increasingly challenged. Thus, heritage sites must explore dynamic conservation approaches formulate management strategies. However, few studies provided either theoretical methods or practical cases as sup...

Prefabricated building construction is an important method of enhancing productivity and promoting sustainable development in the industry. Evaluating predicting performance prefabricated buildings will contribute to identifying implementing most effective responses promote technologies. Based on Drives–Pressures–States–Impacts–Responses (DPSIR) framework, 14 evaluation indexes are determined e...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a DPSIR model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. Hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. Evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in Tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

The Australian Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) Summit in 2018 attracted much-needed national attention towards environmental goals and targets compared with other aspects of sustainability. Road infrastructure is the backbone modern society plays a crucial role accomplishing targeted balance between these sustainability achieving SDGs. This article presents an integrated performance ass...

The drivers–pressures–state–impact–responses (DPSIR) framework has been used widely to support environmental policy developments. However, we argue that DPSIR tends oversimplify the complexity behind socio-ecological systems. Based on Katari River Basin in Bolivia, explore how incorporation of spatial and social considerations may enhance applications. results reveal a mismatch between driving ...
