In Nigeria and other countries' economies, small scale indigenous contractors perform a vital role that significantly impacts economic stability. The small-scale indigenous contractors contribute prominently to the economy by creating more noteworthy work openings, making higher creation volumes, growing conveys, and introducing progression and business capacities in the construction industry. In this research study, a total sample of 250 was used out of 400 small-scale indigenous contractors and other professionals in the construction industry in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Data for the study were generated using a questionnaire, and the collection instrument was validated and endorsed by different professionals in the construction industry before being administered to the respondents. In this study, primary data was generated to evaluate the factors affecting small-scale indigenous contractors in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Different strategies were used to obtain the resulting outcome, which includes regression analysis, ANOVA (Analysis of variance), and descriptive statistics to analyze the relationship between the factors affecting the determinants of the construction project (Companys' strength, project risk, and Competition) and the contractors' decision to bid. The analysis showed that the company's strength, project risk, and competition all positively affect the determination of the slight indigenous contraction's willingness to bid for contracts in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. The study showed that the company's strength, project risk, and competition positively impact the contactor's decision to tender for construction projects. This research analyzed and ascertained enough data and information to prove the essential factors influencing small-scale indigenous contractors' decision to How to cite this paper:
The shellfish and algae carbon sinks as an important part of the fishery carbon sinks. It is of great significance to evaluate the current development status of shellfish and algae carbon sinks for the development of fishery carbon sinks and realization of carbon neutrality. There are a lot of studies on the quantitative relationship of shellfish and algae carbon sinks, but few researches on its spatial relationship. This study used the Natural Breaks and Standard Deviation Ellipse (SDE) in Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze the spatial evolutionary characteristics of China's shellfish and algae carbon sinks from 1992 to 2021. The results show that spatial distribution of carbon sinks varied widely in different regions, the overall spatial layout was stable and gradually formed a pattern of integrated and coordinated development of key regions and general regions. The structure of the shellfish and algae carbon sinks was unbalanced in China, in which algae carbon sinks had great potential for development. China's shellfish and algae carbon sinks had strong resilience after natural disasters. Based on the above findings, this study suggests that all regions should increase the total output of shellfish and algae, expand the scale of algae, and achieve a balanced development of the shellfish and algae industry. Local governments should introduce marine environmental governance policies according to local conditions to achieve precise intervention in key carbon sink areas and overall governance in general carbon sink areas. The government should actively promote the expansion of shellfish and algae mariculture scale. This study will provide reference for the future development of China's fishery carbon sinks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
