“…State net revenue was comprised of sales tax attributable to angler expenditures and costs of stocking, depicted in dashed lines. The concept of Environmentally Sensitive Areas is also used in natural resource management to guide land use and zoning on landscapes where heavy pressure from tourism and development occur (Dai et al 2011, Leman et al 2016. Property tax revenue when development was present was one to three orders of magnitude greater than sales tax and stocking costs.…”

“…Managers often use assessments for protecting forested land for conservation or reassigning it for other human uses like food production (Lin and Trianingsih 2016). The concept of Environmentally Sensitive Areas is also used in natural resource management to guide land use and zoning on landscapes where heavy pressure from tourism and development occur (Dai et al 2011, Leman et al 2016. For lakes, creating landscape level diversity in the form of policy can result in fisheries that are resilient to angler over-exploitation (Carpenter and Brock 2004).…”

Many ecosystems continue to experience rapid transformations due to processes like land use change and resource extraction. A systems approach to maintaining natural resources focuses on how interactions and feedbacks among components of complex social-ecological systems generate social and ecological outcomes. In recreational fisheries, residential shoreline development and fish stocking are two widespread human behaviors that influence fisheries, yet emergent social-ecological outcomes from these potentially interacting behaviors remain under explored. We applied a social-ecological systems framework using a simulation model and empirical data to determine whether lakeshore development is likely to promote stocking through its adverse effects on coarse woody habitat and thereby also on survival of juvenile and adult fish. We demonstrate that high lakeshore development is likely to generate dependency of the ecosystem on the social system, in the form of stocking. Further, lakeshore development can interact with social-ecological processes to create deficits for state-level governments, which threatens the ability to fund further ecosystem subsidies. Our results highlight the value of a social-ecological framework for maintaining ecosystem services like recreational fisheries.

“…The maximum entropic approach was used to assess the biodiversity loss [13] and assess land suitability [14]. Entropy combination weighted method was used to assess the risk of flood [15], land use ecological security patterns [16], and spatial vulnerability from urbanization [17][18][19].…”

Entropies of the Chinese Land Use/Cover Change from 1990 to 2010 at a County Level

Entropy

Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) has gradually became an important direction in the research of global changes. LUCC is a complex system, and entropy is a measure of the degree of disorder of a system. According to land use information entropy, this paper analyzes changes in land use from the perspective of the system. Research on the entropy of LUCC structures has a certain "guiding role" for the optimization and adjustment of regional land use structure. Based on the five periods of LUCC data from the year of 1990 to 2010, this paper focuses on analyzing three types of LUCC entropies among counties in China-namely, Shannon, Renyi, and Tsallis entropies. The findings suggest that: (1) Shannon entropy can reflect the volatility of the LUCC, that Renyi and Tsallis entropies also have this function when their parameter has a positive value, and that Renyi and Tsallis entropies can reflect the extreme case of the LUCC when their parameter has a negative value.; (2) The entropy of China's LUCC is uneven in time and space distributions, and that there is a large trend during 1990-2010, the central region generally has high entropy in space.

“…It should be also mentioned that environmental regulations were also tightened in other regions of the world, e.g. in Unites States (US) (Pennington et al 2003;Gonzalez-Mejia et al 2012), Australia (Van Berkel et al 2008, Canada (Ryberg et al 2014), China (Dai et al 2012) and others. While the use of LCA in the development and application of policy is more common in EU (Jeswani and Azapagic 2015), the US has started to look towards the possibilities of life cycle information for policy decisions at both the federal and state levels (Bare 2011).…”

Environmentally friendly pathways for the evaluation of investment projects using life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA)

Issues related to improvement in the quality of products and to environmental protection in the economic policy of many countries and in the strategies of institutions and international organisations (e.g. European Union) have increased in importance in recent years as a consequence of the increase in environmental awareness of consumers. All these institutions currently recommend a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of planned projects during the decision-making process taking into account both economic and environmental factors. It is, therefore, important to develop methods and tools to assess environmental performance as a support to a proper choice of investment activities. The aim of this paper is to develop algorithms to link the life cycle assessment (LCA) model associated with environmental issues and the life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) model associated with economic factors to permit an integrated assessment of investment projects. The combination of LCA and LCCA results enables the assessment of ongoing or planned investments and should be used as a priority in making strategic decisions. In this paper, three environmentally friendly pathways (algorithms) using LCA-LCCA indicators as a support for decision-making processes were proposed: the first for implementing any environmental investments, the second for modernisation and innovation investments, and the third for new investments.
