“…Usually, eco-efficiency is used to evaluate the relationship between Human activities and regional ecological capacity. In this study the definition of eco-efficiency is defined as an aspect of sustainability relating eco-environmental performance along with the comprehensive benefits [51]. Basic idea of eco-efficiency is to get the maximum economic, ecological and social benefits with minimum resource consumption and environmental pollution.…”

The Effects of Ecological Policy of Kyrgyzstan Based on Data Envelope Analysis

Kyrgyzstan is located in the runoff formation area of Aral Sea basin. The ecological protection of this country has a great effect on the downstream and Aral Sea conservation. There were a few studies about this region carried out from ecological policy aspects. The aim of this study was two-fold. First, we characterized the eco-policy system structure of Kyrgyzstan in different stages. It means the transition from “command and control” to “market-based” ecological policy. The priority of ecological policy was changed from “sustain economic growth and poverty reduction” to “sustainable development and green economy”. We then used a data envelope analysis method to evaluate the effects of eco-policy and government governance through eco-efficiency. The results are that (1) the eco-efficiency achieved the relative optimal state and the ecological policy obtained a relatively positive effect as a whole; (2) economic development promotes the protection of the ecological environment. It is the first time that quantitative method has been used to analyze the effects of ecological policy of Kyrgyzstan. The model results can reflect comprehensive effects of ecological policy in social, economic, and ecological aspects. This study provides a reference for those who want to shape the next generation of eco-environmental policies both in Kyrgyzstan and other Central Asian countries.

“…This could help understand better the performance and applicability of this method for comprehensively measuring environmental loads. Several other methods could be used to measure environmental loads in different spatial scales, such as the carbon and land footprints described in Section 1 [20][21][22][23][24][25]. Such comparative analyses could identify the advantages and disadvantages of each method, as well as synthesize them in novel combinations to construct more suitable assessment theories for practical application.…”

“…Examples of such assessment methods include Extern E [18] and EPS [19]. Additionally, other studies have measured environmental loads at different spatial scales (e.g., countries, regions) using approaches such as carbon and land footprint [20][21][22][23][24][25]. However, we currently lack methodologies that incorporate these approaches for environmental accounting at the global scale, as well as international standards to assure the quality and enable the comparability of the results [25].…”

Eco-Efficiency Assessment of Japanese Municipalities Based on Environmental Impacts and Gross Regional Product

2019

Governments at different levels need to appreciate the environmental impacts of socioeconomic activities within their boundaries. They also need to decide relevant environmental policies after carefully examining future pathways based on the relationship between the environment and the economy. This study focuses on Japanese basic administrative divisions (i.e., municipalities) and attempts to quantify the annual environmental efficiency of processes and socioeconomic activities within each of these divisions using life-cycle impact assessment (LCIA) concepts. A key element of the LCIA is the integration of different environmental loads across various impact categories, such as global warming, air pollution, and land use, and their representation through a simple indicator. First, we conduct annual environmental impact assessments for all Japanese municipalities based on reliable, verifiable, and comparable statistical information. Next, we estimate the environmental efficiency of socioeconomic activities within each division by dividing the gross regional product (GRP) with the environmental damage amounts calculated through LIME2, an LCIA-based tool tailored for Japan. Assessment results for each municipality are visualized on maps of Japan in order to highlight the spatial distribution of the values for each indicator. The findings of this study can aid local, regional, and national governments in Japan to inform environmental policy design and decision-making at different spatial levels.

Background; petai (Parkia speciosa) is a plant commonly grown and consumed in Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The main part of petai that is usually consumed is its seed, while the skin is removed, not used, and becomes waste. Objectives; to analyze 1) the potential for processing and utilizing petai skin waste (PSW) to be a source of antioxidants; 2) the antioxidant extraction process on PSW; 3) antioxidant activity, total phenol, and total flavonoids obtained from PSW; and 4) strategic steps for sustainability of PSW utilization. Materials and Method; this study used secondary data which obtained from literature review. Data was analyzed descriptively by describing and comparing the results of external research related to the utilization of PSW as an antioxidant source. Results; based on ethanol extraction results, PSW has higher antioxidant activity (250 mg/g) than the seeds and the leaf. Petai skin extraction process was carried out by solvent extraction method with various types of solvent. Antioxidant activity was determined by FRAP, ABTS, and DPPH method, while total phenol analysis was used Folin-Ciocalteu method and total flavonoid analysis using the colorimetric method. Based on the economic aspect, the utilization of PSW had a positive impact on the welfare of society, from the social aspect, the utilization of food waste could increase awareness, acceptance, and comfort for the community, from environmental and health aspects, waste utilization could reduce contamination and disease source. Conclusion; PSW had the potential as a source of antioxidants.
