Findings on Economic Development Reported by Investigators at Shandong University of Finance and Economics (The Evaluation of Ecosystem Health Based On Hybrid Todim Method for Chinese Case)

2019 JUN 14 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Ecology Daily News -- Investigators publish new report on Economics - Economic Development. According to news reporting out of Jinan, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “The health evaluation of urban ecosystem is the need of urban sustainable development and the construction of urban ecological civilization, in order to scientifically evaluate the ecosystem health, in this paper, we establish the mathematical model based on hybrid multiple attributes decision-making. Firstly, we introduce the original city ecosystem health evaluation indexes which reflect on Vitality, Composition Structure, Recovery Capacity, The Ecological System Continually Offering Service Function, Population Health and Ecosystem Cognition ecosystem health.”

Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China, Special Funds of Taishan Scholars Project of Shandong Province, Shandong Provincial Social Science Planning Project, Key research and development program of Shandong Province.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Shandong University of Finance and Economics, “Then in order to obtain the reasonable weights, we integrate the subjective weights by linguistic AHP method and objective weights by deviation maximization method, and get the combined weights for city ecosystem health evaluation indexes. Further, according to the characteristics of the different indexes, we propose an extended TODIM method to evaluate the city ecosystem health in which the indexes take the form of real number, interval number, and probabilistic linguistic term set. Moreover, with respect to the evaluation values of city ecosystem health in Jinan from 2011 to 2015, this paper evaluates the health status of Jinan ecological system, and analyzes the role of various indicators in the process of city ecological development. Result shows that: (1) Jinan ecosystem health status remained at the sub-health state from 2011 to 2015, and the ecological situation is not optimistic. (2) Prominent problems restricting are lack of investment in environmental protection efforts, increasing pollutant emissions, and imperfect industrial structure.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “To solve the problems in the healthy development of Jinan urban ecosystem, this paper puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions to improve the healthy development of urban ecosystem.”
