The contradiction between industrial development and ecological environment pressure has been becoming progressively severe. Under this circumstance, more attention has been paid to the balance between industrial economic development and environmental deterioration and resource consumption. Thus, this study takes the development of industry and ecological environment change as an interactive system consideration, and comprehensively evaluates the changes of the industrial-environment system on resilience perspective with innovation. Accordingly, this paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation model. The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and Industrial Structure Entropy (ISE) were applied to analyze the current environment pressure and industrial conditions. Then, the catastrophe theory was used to evaluate the reasonably established index system for the impact of various factors in the industrial-environment system on the resilience change. Next, the adaptive cycle model was used to analyze the evaluation results and reveals the dynamic change law of the system in the resilience range. Finally, Chengdu was selected as the research area to verify the validity of the whole study. It was found that the resilient change process of Chengdu industry-environmental system accord with the four-stage theory of adaptive cycle model. The resilient level of the city was also improved during the cycle. The result of the study can be useful to future plans and decisions. What is more, understanding the characteristics of each stage will be helpful to determine the reasonable implementation time of each key factor and improve its feedback ability.
In China, Tibetan areas have generally high altitudes and abnormal climates, and many areas have faced a variety of risks such as food security, land degradation disasters, and diseases. The Tibetan region’s economic development level is lower than that of the rest of China. Rural households and communities primarily rely on agricultural-related activities for a living, and their investment opportunities are limited due to unfavorable land and climate conditions. This study aims to investigate how to overcome such impacts by providing efficient strategies of green and sustainable planning through risk analysis and reasonable portfolio. By investigating the asset composition of 271 rural households in Tibetan area of Sichuan, the potential risks are analyzed by using the block diagram and investment portfolio to avoid risk is calculated and discussed by Markowitz model. The results show that the asset composition of rural households in ethnic area is unreasonable. Most of families highly prefer real assets, this may due to their risk attitudes and resistance capacities. From rural households’ perspective, in order to adapt to suboptimal environmental conditions, rural households should diversify their livelihood strategies and make appropriate investment portfolios. Moreover, the research findings also provide useful strategy suggestions for green and sustainable development of people’s livelihood planning in ethnic areas of China as the Tibetan region in Sichuan.
