“…InVEST consists of a suite of spatially-explicit models that use LULC maps, biophysical and economic data to quantify and map various ES provided by landscape in biophysical or economic terms (Cabral et al, 2016;Levrel et al, 2017;Nelson et al, 2009;Tallis and Polasky, 2009) For static spatial correlations, we calculated the Pearson correlation coefficients between pairs of ES (sub-watershed level) at the four dates. For the temporal correlations, we calculated the variations of each ES between two consecutive dates (1986-1996, 1996-2001, 2001-2008) and between the start and end of the whole period studied We graphically represented the production possibility set of each pair of ES by plotting ES values in all landscape configurations (four observed and 32 simulated) against one another.…”

“…Different management alternatives are needed to incorporate scenarios in a science-policy interface for environmental assessments [25]. Thus, the use of plausible scenarios at regional scales may support sustainable development in a context of environmental changes on land systems [26][27][28].…”

Land use and land cover (LULC) under improper land management is a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa and has drastically affected ecological security. Addressing environmental impacts related to this challenge requires efficient planning strategies based on the measured information of land use patterns. This study assessed the ecological risk index (ERI) of Zanzibar based on LULC. A random forest classifier was used to classify three Landsat images of Zanzibar for the years 2003, 2009, and 2018. Then, a land change model was employed to simulate the LULC changes for 2027 under a business-as-usual (BAU), conservation, and extreme scenarios. Results showed that the built-up areas and farmland of Zanzibar Island have increased constantly, while the natural grassland and forest cover have decreased. The forest, agricultural, and grassland were highly fragmented into several small patches. The ERI of Zanzibar Island increased at a constant rate and, if the current trend continues, this index will increase by up to 8.9% in 2027 under an extreme scenario. If a conservation scenario is adopted, the ERI will increase by 4.6% whereas if a BAU policy is followed, this value will increase by 6.2%. This study provides authorities with useful information to understand better the ecological processes and LULC dynamics and prevent unmanaged growth and haphazard development of informal housing and infrastructure.

“…Consequently, small companies can obtain support and improve their processes, through partnership in the commercialisation of products, participation in international fairs, and exports. This collaboration reflects the growth and development of small companies, the improvement of their economic viability, negotiation and reduction of operating costs (Fachinelli et al 2017, Levrel et al 2017, Vinyes et al 2017).…”

Background and Aims: Some studies bring different visions of innovation among the stakeholders of the wine sector; however, there is a gap in our understanding of the characteristics of and the relationship between the ecosystem and the stakeholders. This study aims to identify and measure critical success factors (CSFs) of the wine innovation ecosystem. Methods and Results: A mixed-method approach with 29 qualitative questionnaires for wine managers, and a survey of 138 wine managers from Brazilian wine regions were employed. The survey validated 30 critical factors that were identified from the literature and which were validated in the qualitative research. The critical factors were then submitted to a support factorial analysis, resulting in 27 CSFs related to six new dimensions of the wine ecosystem. The dimensions identified by the factorial analysis were evaluated by indicators and measured for four clusters of companies. Conclusions: The study identified the dimensions and CSFs related to four Brazilian winery clusters: (i) medium businessbusinesses focused on social and economic entrepreneurship; (ii) large business-focused on entrepreneurship and leadership in the development of sustainable products and services; (iii) startup-expanding businesses focused on economic growth; and (iv) small business-focused on entrepreneurship and innovation for a sustainable economy. Significance of the Study: This study demonstrated the benefit of using dimensions and CSFs to create innovative strategies to improve the competitiveness and performance of the wine ecosystem.
