“…The fourth branch includes studies about another game theory model. Wu, Gao [ 53 ] combined the Gini coefficient with the linear interactive general optimization method to build a coupling allocation model of ammonia nitrogen emission permit in the Songhua River Basin from the perspective of basin and region. Xie, Xu [ 54 ] used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Nash’s non-cooperative game theory to build a coupled fixed cost allocation model for water pollutant discharge permits.…”

The initial emission rights allocation is the key measure to achieve the goal of total amount control and deepen the emission trading system. Although many studies have focused on the modeling of initial emission rights allocation, such as using game theory and multi-objective optimization methods, few studies have observed the hierarchical relationship of mutual interference and restriction between watershed management agency and local governments in each subarea during allocation. This relationship directly affects the rationality of the results of regional emission rights allocation. In this study, a leader-follower hierarchical decision model (LFHDM) for allocating initial emission rights in a basin is developed. Based on the bilevel programming approach, the model simulates the interactive decision-making process between the watershed management agency of the upper-level model (LFHDM-U) and the local government of the lower-level model (LFHDM-L) in the allocation under total amount control. A case study of China’s Yellow River Basin is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of the model. Findings reveal that, compared with the single-level model, the developed LFHDM has higher satisfaction with the allocation scheme. Under different scenarios, the overall satisfaction of the configuration schemes of COD and NH3-N in each province and autonomous region remains above 0.9. In addition, the allocation volumes of COD and NH3-N in each province of the Yellow River Basin in planning year increase with the enhancement of allowable assimilative capacity of water bodies, but the interval gap of satisfaction with allocation schemes gradually narrows. It shows that when the allowable assimilation capacity of a water body is low, the decision-making of the allocation scheme needs to be more cautious. Moreover, for the Yellow River Basin, apart from Qinghai and Sichuan, the task of reducing water pollutants in other provinces in the next few years is very arduous. The average reduction of total COD and NH3-N in the basin is about 48% and 46%, respectively.

“…The watershed is the unit of analysis and planning for land management (James et al, 2019;Villegas, 2014), potential natural resource use, and environmental impact assessment (Brown and Quinn, 2018;Guo et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2019), and sustainable management and intervention units (Wang et al, 2016). The watershed has natural resource potential, but at the same time, it is argued that these resources should be preserved for future generations (Deng et al, 2017;Sun et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2016).…”

“…Environmental zoning consists of analyzing the environment by identifying the biophysical and socioeconomic and even political characteristics of the territorial space (Boris and Gimenez, 2015;Boschet and Rambonilaza, 2015;Breton, 2014;Reddy, 2019). The objective of watershed zoning addresses the issues of current land use, biological resources and water (Boris and Gimenez, 2015;Boschet and Rambonilaza, 2015;Wu et al, 2019). It considers the interrelation of these elements considering an integrated approach (Guo et al, 2021;James et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2016).…”

The technical and integrated participation of the population in environmental zoning and soil and water conservation techniques and management is a sustainable alternative for watershed management. The objective of the research was to develop an environmental zoning map for the Palcayaco watershed in Huancavelica, Peru (from its socioeconomic aspects to its technical recommendations). The research work was deductive, where all the necessary data were delimited, described, inventoried, recapitulated and extracted to describe the morphometric parameters, biophysical and socioeconomic situation, environmental zoning and techniques for soil and water conservation. Results: the watershed was perennial, an average slope of 29.65%, a time of concentration of 180.6 min and a balanced hypsometric curve type (B). It also had low population density, unpaved roads, scarce basic services, and poor education and health services infrastructure. The watershed presented different ecoregions, life zones, climatic classification and altitudinal sector, current land use for agricultural, livestock and silvopastoral production, steep type, forest pasture use and protection capacity. The conflict area was in good use, and economic-ecological zoning was in protection, conservation, recovery, water, productive, and urban-industrial. The environmental zoning designed for the Palcayaco watershed preserved the most important natural resources for rural communities, improving their biophysical and socioeconomic status. Through soil and water conservation techniques and management, it will prevent the degradation of the watershed for a better and sustainable future.

“…Literature [8] regards investment as the key factor to control pollution emissions and points out that the pollution reduction activities can only occur when capital accumulates to a certain extent. Literature [9] based on the introduction of externality cost, the interactive decision-making between government environmental supervision and enterprise pollution control is discussed by using game analysis method, and it is considered that establishing measures such as increasing the reputation cost of enterprise pollution and raising the political cost of local government conniving at pollution is an important direction to improve the environmental quality. Literature [10][11][12] established a dynamic game model of three main stakeholders in the internalization of enterprise environmental cost based on the game among the government, enterprises, and the public, and put forward the basic ideas and measures for the government, enterprises, and the public to jointly realize the internalization of enterprise environmental cost and reduce environmental pollution and ecological damage.…”

The coordinated development of tourism and EE (ecological environment) is of practical significance to the HQD (high-quality development) of the YRB (Yellow River Basin), and the excellent EE provides a strong guarantee for the sustainable and healthy development of the tourism industry. Objective. To explore the coupling relationship between tourism and EE coordination and HQD in the YRB. Methods. This paper uses the improved soil moisture weight method to quantitatively measure the coupling CT (coordination between tourism) and EE and HQD in the YRB from 2014 to 2020. The results show that from 2014 to 2020, on the whole, the evaluation values of tourism economy and EE in the YRB show an increasing trend, but the growth trend of tourism economy is obviously stronger than that of EE. From the perspective of eco-environmental quality index, the overall increase of eco-environmental quality index of the YRB from 2014 to 2020 is small, and the eco-environmental quality of the YRB has improved to some extent in the recent years, but the effect is not significant. And they all passed the significance test at 1% level. During 2014–2020, the overall Moran index of the coordinated development level of tourism and EE and HQD in the YRB showed a wave-like fluctuation, and the fluctuation range increased gradually, and the overall trend was decreasing. Government control, industrial structure (proportion of tertiary industry), population size, and people’s living standard have significant positive effects on the coupling and coordination of local tourism economy and EE, while industrial R&D investors have significant negative effects on the coupling and coordination of local tourism economy and EE, while natural disasters have no significant effects on the coupling and coordination of local tourism economy and EE. Conclusion. The HQD of tourism in the YRB should establish the idea of giving priority to EE, construct the mechanism of regional coordinated development, and implement the driving strategy of scientific and technological innovation and the development model of culture + ecology + tourism.
