Nowadays mathematical tools elaboration for regional resort and spa social and economic system development is up-to-date. Economic units which serve tourist needs are complex objects for modeling, they are involved to regional multiple specific interrelated tourism sphere industrial processes and coherent with ecology and society. In the article it was suggested Crimea region tourism sustainable development...
Degraded land is land which has been damaged by either human-caused activities or has been devoid of any human activity resulting in low productivity and low economic potential unless special restoration measures are used. The aim of the study is to develop scientifically based proposals for identification of land degradation in order to classify and evaluate land degradation in Latvia and to develop...
Preservation technologies like pasteurization or sterilization are used to inactivate microorganisms, and therefore enhance food safety and shelf life. Using advanced heating technologies based on microwave and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields can play a great role in improving sustainability of food processing. Electromagnetic fields can also be used in soil disinfestation as an alternative,...
Site specific management and precision agriculture seeks to identify and analyze variability in soil properties. Runoff prediction and sediment yield estimation using distributed hydrologic modeling requires spatially distributed soil data especially saturated hydraulic conductivity, water content and particle size distribution. Therefore, soil data becomes one of the major inputs in any watershed...
The resistance to flow in open channels depends on many flow and channel parameters. Out of the many factors, vegetation is the most important parameter in vegetative channels. Vegetation in an open channel retards the water flow by causing energy loss through turbulence and by exerting additional drag forces on the moving liquid. Presence of vegetation in a channel modify the velocity profiles, and...
This article analyses the performance and main features of current environmental crisis, revealing the specific reasons for the environmental crisis, and proposed the ideological source of the environmental crisis is humanistic ideology. It summarizes the basic connotation of national ecological ethic by expounding the concept of ecological ethic, western ecological ethics, and Chinese traditional...
The aim of the present study was to obtain the water of reuse from domestic sewage provided by Anhumas Sewage Treatment Station, from Campinas, Brazil. The construction building waste was used in decantation of sludge from sewage. The sewage water was filtered in a membrane of microfiltration and used in irrigation. Bean seeds are used in germination on degraded soils. Ecological cost was measured...
It is an important prerequisite to determine the threshold of ecological water demand scientifically and reasonably for sustainable development of socio-economic and ecological environment. This paper analyzes the ratio of ecological water demand account for of the total runoff in Northwest arid areas, and combines with the instance of Manas River basin, proposes a reasonable threshold of ecological...
China faces the extinction of wild licorice resources, at the same time also destroyed pastures, causing soil erosion, desertification and other ecological crisis. From an environmental management perspective, the ideological errors in putting the economy on ecological awareness, the legal system of putting Macro on Micro, the law enforcement reality of putting management on service, which are the...
The paper presents a fuzzy model analysis of environment power plant impact. The model, called symbolic “EFIM” uses as input data environmental indices. The fuzzy logic is used to provide measures leading to reduced environmental impact within the context of sustainable development. The components of the fuzzy model and its advantages are also presented in the paper.
A sustainable management for the mangroves has not only provided consistent yield of renewable forest wood products such as timbers that are utilized for firewood, poles for foundation, construction materials, fishing gear and even tannin extraction, but also fishery resources and conductive environment for practice of non-destructive aquaculture activities. Mangrove play an important role in providing...
Based on the analysis and comparison of traditional slope treatment methods on steep rocky slopes, the construction technology, properties and advantages of Vegetation-Growing Concrete Base Material Slope-Protected Technique were recommended. It was demonstrated that this technology has good benefits and application prospects for soil and water conservation, economy and ecological construction, sustainable...
This research is innovative in such aspects as research content, method and so on. Authors took Northeast China as study area, with the help from "3S" technology and based on spatial and temporal land resource data, agricultural statistics data and considering the natural and socio-economic factors. And, this paper analyzed the impact of cultivated land change on the grain production capacity...
The greater hinggan mountains in China is the green treasure, containing enormous economic, ecological and social benefits. However, due to the years of unreasonable deforestation structure, gradual degradation of the forest function and forest ecological environment hinders the mountains' development. Speed up constructing the mountains' ecological function areas becomes the primary task of promoting...
Agriculture is the foundation of national economic development. Agricultural sustainable development is an important part of the social-economic sustainable development and a key historical task of building new socialist countryside in our country. Xinglong town is a typical representation of black cultivated land in Heilongjiang Province. This study presents an ecological analysis of the agro ecosystems...
Eight measures of soil and water conservation(SWC) have successfully carried out for developing sustainable agriculture systems in hilly red soil region in southeast China since 2000. Economical, ecological and social benefits are assessed in this study to determine efficiency of these measures. All measures have shown a positive net present value of direct benefits in the computing period when an...
As an important component in the balanced development strategy of all regions in China, the Yellow River Delta is of strategic importance in the coastal economic layout. With the two cities of Binzhou and Dongying in the Yellow River Delta as the study region, the ecological environment characteristic of the Yellow River Delta area, sediment, soil and environment linkages, the reason of regional sediment...
Land resources are the foundation of existence and development of human being, its an important part of country resources. Urbanization and industrialization is very fast in Dalian City.In the process, too much agricultural land was transformed into construction land,which aggravated the contradiction between people and land.So how to achieve sustainable development and use of land resource, keep...
As a unique natural region unit and the "buffer zone" which connects reservoirs and its peripheral region, the reservoir shore zone not only provides geographical space and resources-environmental supporting conditions for the local socio-economic development, but also plays a "barrier" role in maintaining reservoir ecosystem services function and protecting the environmental security...
Salinity is a major problem affecting the sustainability of agriculture and environment in the Rio Grande river basin in Texas, USA. An accurate data on the spatial distribution of salinity is necessary for developing effective salinity management practices. However, at present information is lacking on the amount and distribution of salts within the Rio Grande river basin. Manual methods of salinity...
