Integrated evaluation of the carrying capacities of mineral resource-based cities considering synergy between subsystems

A Three-Stage Hybrid Model for Space-Time Analysis of Water Resources Carrying Capacity: A Case Study of Jilin Province, China

“…The term "carrying capacity" is derived from ecology, which is used to measure the largest organisms that a specific region can support for some period of time without obvious adverse effect on the local environment [12]. After that, the application field of carrying capacity continued to expand, and the ecological carrying capacity [13], environmental carrying capacity [14], land carrying capacity [15], and mineral resources carrying capacity [16] appeared one after the other. WRCC is an extension of the concept of carrying capacity in the field of water resources, which focuses on the interaction between the human system and the water resources system.…”

“…Different dimensions, such as resources, environment, society, and economy, are involved in most indicator systems (Zhang et al 2019 ; Liu et al 2020 ). Several methods have been applied in RECC evaluation, such as the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) method (Mofidi et al 2018 ; Wang et al 2020a , comprehensive evaluation method (Okey 2018 ), system dynamics method (Wang et al 2018 ), ecological footprint method (Xun and Hu 2019 ), and catastrophe progression method (Jia et al 2018 ). With the development of spatial econometrics, spatial analysis technology has also been applied to the study of RECC, which usually uses Moran’s I index to analyse the spatial autocorrelation of RECC (Tian and Sun 2018 ).…”

“…Second, multi-objective decision methods require multiple criteria to evaluate and optimize the scheme. This method is primarily composed of an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) (Garfi et al, 2011;Lu et al, 2017), multiple objective programming (Li et al, 2016;Zheng, 2019), and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology (Irankhahi et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2020). This method can consider a wider range of goals; however, it is inadequate for choosing appropriate parameter values.…”
