Planning and construction are well-known practical topics; however, eco-city developments and their sustainable effects on the city are less known. Xi’an is a typical city that has a target to become an eco-city. This city is selected in this case study with the aims of (1) framing eco-practices to enhance the understanding of an eco-city development and (2) evaluating the effect of eco-practic...

Daqing is situated in one of the severely cold regions of China. The living environment in this region is extremely poor because of the harsh climate and the backward economy. The external wall is an important component of the external envelope of buildings, and it greatly contributes to the indoor thermal environment. By taking the external wall as the research object, this study summarizes th...

The Ecological Footprint (EF) measure the natural capital demand of human activities (Wackernagel and Rees, 1996 and 2002) and reveal the sustainability of consumption patterns on individual, local, national and global scales (WWF, 2008). The ecological footprint measure the natural capital demand of human activities (Wackernagel and Rees, 1996) and reveal the sustainability of consumption patt...

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact exports, renewable energy, and industrialization on ecological footprint (EF) India over period spanning from 1970–2017 by employing newly developed augmented ARDL (A-ARDL) co-integration approach novel dynamic (D-ARDL) technique. empirical results demonstrate that exports energy consumption reduce EF, while intensifies EF. More precisely...

the ecological footprint is a useful tool that we can use it to inform the public about the pressure on ecology and the environment. also, by measuring it, policymakers can design and implement the necessary programs to help reduce that pressure. in order to measure the potential impact of future activities and policies of development programs on the environment, it is necessary to study the sh...

Ecological footprint (EF) indices estimate the impact of an individual’s lifestyle on the planet by converting levels of consumption into the amount of land needed to sustain production levels and lifestyle choices. Several popular organizations (e.g. WWF, Global Footprint Network) now offer personalized EF calculators to help inform consumers of the impacts of their personal consumption habits...

There is rich biodiversity and biomass in wetlands and these areas are important in ecosystems. Assessment of the environment of wetlands is critical in the management of pivotal ecosystems. The energy ecological footprint (EEF) is an improved form of the ecological footprint method based on the theory of energy value. EEF can be a useful tool for comparing and monitoring environmental impacts....

Wooden furniture production consumes a lot of forest resource and other resources, so it is important to estimate its environmental effect. In this research, we collected data in sofa factory China appraised environment impacts by the ecological footprint (EF) methodology. The results showed that total EF was 2 316.25 gha/year (gha: global hectare). average 0.18 gha/year. For factory, main cont...

This study uses a new and innovative dynamic panel threshold technique to examine the relationship between inbound tourism ecological footprint (EF). method was applied 10 most popular destinations spanning 1995–2021. These findings demonstrate that EF have effect. To be specific, we find only certain of is beneficial environment; beyond point, increasing likely cause EF. Additionally, economic...

The per capita Ecological Footprint (EF) is one of the most-widely recognized measures of environmental sustainability. It seeks to quantify the Earth’s biological capacity required to support human activity. This study uses gene expression programming and Self-organizing Maps (SOM) to predict, classify and cluster the EF of 140 nations. A Bayesian approach was used to formally test the researc...
