“…Since then, China's Central Committee, led by General Secretary Xi Jinping, has made the protection of the ecological environment a priority to ensure the sustainable development of China's economy and society [7]. Located in the Jiangxi Province, the Poyang Lake River Basin is the largest freshwater lake basin in China and has made important contributions not only to China's but also the world's economic development [8].…”

Watershed environments play an important supporting role in sustainable high-quality economic development in China, but they have been deteriorating. In order to solve environmental problems in the Poyang Lake River Basin brought about by economic development, the Jiangxi Provincial Government promulgated relevant river basin protection policies in 2015. However, after several years of this policy, the specific effects of its implementation are a matter of general concern to the government and academic circles. After years of policy implementation, the implementation effect of the watershed ecological compensation policy needs to be evaluated. Based on 4248 observations from the Jiangxi and Hunan Provinces, we adopt the difference-in-difference method to analyze the impact of the ecological compensation policy on the Poyang Lake River Basin. The empirical results show that the ecological compensation policy has a significant effect on water-quality improvement. Water quality in the upstream area is better than that in the downstream area; areas with small administrative areas have a smaller population, which in turn leads to better water quality in the river basin; and the higher the per capita GDP, the worse the water quality. Our results highlight the need for the following policy improvements: ecological priority, customizing measures to local conditions, tracing the main body, and strengthening supervision.

“…The studies reveal that there are various indices proposed in view of the rural development the research takes into account the literature proposed in developing this conceptual research. Firstly, the indices of RD that are grouped into different dimensions and the indices of SRD Which is from sustainable development point of view, this is a dynamic process instead of a static perspective 40 . Moreover, the main point is to evaluate development process under given index, but it may or may not going in a sustainable way.…”

Rural revitalization strategies are an important task in China. Currently, it is in the transition from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization. This paper proposes an evaluation index of rural revitalization and development potential based on a summary of previous studies. Together with the TOPSIS method, the corresponding coefficients of each index layer and the weight coefficient of the criterion layer were analyzed. This shows that during the process, the work direction of rural revitalization varies based on different revitalization types. In this study, diagnostic tools are utilized to conduct a potential development analysis of rural human settlements by identifying the main influencing factors for rural revitalization. In addition, an index system for improving rural human settlement strategies is established. Overall, it helps in defining the interventions of reducing and managing the risk of rural vitalization and evaluating the potential ability of rural revitalization. It also suggests that Anhui Province should focus on carrying out the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas according to the different functional positions of the countryside.

“…Hence, the evaluation model of livability should take into account some human settlement factors that can have an impact on the residents' quality of life, including, for example, the dwelling environment, ecological health, infrastructure, public facilities, and economic development. In earlier studies, factors such as living area per capita, population density, vegetation cover per capita, livestock and poultry breeding area per capita (livestock breeding has a high cost for ecological health [20]), road area per capita, village road hardening rate, number of nursing home beds per capita, number of village health room beds per capita, arable land per capita, and the proportion of villagers engaged in the coal industry (mining jobs can bring better economic income to villagers) were considered as human settlement factors [21,22].…”

“…In most studies conducted so far , models were semi-quantitative and semi-deterministic. For example, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [23,24], the Delphi method [25], and the entropy weight method [21,26] have been applied. Basu et al proposed a geographically weighted principal component analysis to evaluate the spatial pattern of urban livability in Raiganj, India [27].…”

The resettlement of residents within the construction area of large projects is an important task related to people’s welfare. Livability is often used as an evaluation indicator when selecting resettlement areas. According to the results of the China Development Plan and 300 questionnaires, the human settlement factors that constitute livability include the living environment, ecological health, infrastructure, public facilities, and economic development, data on which can only be obtained from existing villages, and therefore cannot be used to directly assess the livability of potential resettlement areas. In fact, these human settlement factors are formed by the complex influences of numerous geographical factors (e.g., slope, slope orientation, accessibility, etc.), and it is scientific and reliable to use these geographical factors, which can be determined for each location, to carry out the livability assessment of potential resettlement areas. To this end, this paper takes the village resettlement project in the Dafosi coal mining area on the Loess Plateau of China as an example, calculates the livability scores of the existing villages around the coal mine using the entropy weighting method, and quantitatively analyzes the relationship between the livability scores and the selected geographic factors using a spatial correlations analysis method named Geodetector. It further uses the weighted overlayed function to superimpose the main geographic factors in order to obtain a livability grading map of the potential resettlement area. The results were successfully applied to the above resettlement project. We also verified the accuracy of this paper’s assessment method by adding 184 natural villages, and the method can be applied to other types of resettlement area livability assessment.
