“…Therefore, the evaluation of ecological security requires an evaluation index that considers both human activities and natural ecology. and DSR models (Cao et al, 2020;Agramont et al, 2022). The DPSIR model, which considers the economic, social, ecological environment, and policy elements, emphasizes the causal relationship between elements and has been widely used in fields such as sustainable development and ecological and environmental management (Wang et al, 2015;Kharrazi et al, 2017;Wei et al, 2019).…”

The drylands of China are extensive, and they are home to more than one-third of the country's population. However, the watershed territories of the drylands, where the majority of human activities are concentrated have long experienced strained human-land relationships, culminating in ecological security concerns. Correspondingly, it is essential to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the ecological security of dryland watersheds and to identify the key factors influencing ecological security in order to formulate strategies that ensure the sustainability of drylands. Premised on the Driving-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model, this study developed an ecological security index and applied it to the Irtysh River Basin of Xinjiang, China, from 2000 to 2020. The obstacle degree model was applied to reveal the obstacles in two dimensions: criterion level and indicator level. The findings suggested that the ecological security comprehensive index in the Irtysh River Basin has increased significantly from 2000 to 2020, irrespective of the fact that it decreased during the study period and then increased. The ecological security level changed from 'critically safe' in 2000 to 'general safety' in 2020, with the state subsystem and pressure subsystem becoming ecological security weaknesses. The primary factors influencing the ecological security of the study area were water consumption, the area of high-efficiency water-saving irrigation, the proportion of wetland area, vegetation coverage, and livestock population. The ecological security of different counties in the basin varies greatly, whereas the factors that influence ecological security showed both similarities and differences among the counties. In light of on the findings, we proposed that future strategies for ecological security enhancement should concentrate on enacting the policy of localizing spatial differentiation, optimizing industrial structure, strengthening scientific and technological support in the field of water conservation, bolstering the treatment capacity of environmental facilities, and implementing the Mountains-Rivers-Forests-Farmlands-Lakes-Grasslands System to support the sustainable development of dryland watersheds.

“…It identifies the cause-effect relationships in five economic and social development categories: driving forces (D) that exert pressure (P) on the environment; changes in the state of the environment (S) and impacts (I) on the ecosystem, human health, and other materials; and society's preventive, adaptive, or curative solution responses (R) to the driving forces, pressures, states, or impacts (Jago-on et al, 2009). DPSIR has been wildly used for analysing environmental problems emanating from human activities in policy-making and research (Gari et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2022;Agramont et al, 2022), including water issues (Kagalou et al, 2012;Hashemi et al, 2014;Gari et al, 2018;Ashfaq et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2022). Hashemi et al (2014) found the framework useful for analysing the changing state of floods, structuring data, and examining leverage points at which appropriate responses can be exerted.…”

“…Although DPSIR was widely applied, oversimplifying the complex reality of socioecological systems was criticised (Wang et al, 2018;Agramont et al, 2022). As the complexity of the socio-environmental systems relies on several layers of social, political, and economic institutions and the environmental consequences behind their interactions (Teodosiu et al, 2009), the simplicity of DPSIR can be misguiding, ignoring the possible synergistic relations existing between DPSIR categories (Maxim et al, 2009).…”

This article describes a combination of the driver-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR) framework and the logical framework approach (LFA) to develop water management strategies for a lagoon floodplain in Thailand. The DPSIR framework identified the cause-effect relationship between water and anthropogenic activities. LFA developed management strategies based on a systematic and logical approach. DPSIR analysis for the issue of water shortages for irrigated areas revealed the need for income from agriculture is a major driver, as indicated by agricultural development policy. The driver exerted pressure on increasing irrigation water demand, which increased the risk of a water shortage. The impact of water shortage was indicated by loss of farmer income. Existing responses led to inadequate problem-solving, for example, the promotion of mixed farming. Using data captured from DPSIR analysis for LFA analysis, proposed strategies to address the root causes of “ineffective irrigation water allocation” focused on improving (1) the performance of rotating irrigation systems; (2) monitoring water allocation; and (3) water use efficiency. The strategies developed using the combined DPSIR framework and LFA are effective because: (1) this method provides insight into complex water systems; (2) the strategies are developed logically to solve the problem at its root cause; and (3) there is intensive stakeholder participation and in-depth study of the area. This method is a helpful tool for developing a management strategy for a complex water system and is suitable for application by decision-makers. Stakeholder verification is required for future research to ensure that the strategies are appropriate and capable of being implemented.

“…As the material basis for human survival and development, natural resources play an important role as energy sources and spatial carriers in social and economic development, and play an irreplaceable role [1][2][3][4]. However, with the growth of population and the acceleration of urbanization, some problems limit the sustainable development of agriculture, such as the reduction of arable land area and quality, groundwater over-exploitation and deterioration of an agricultural ecological environment [5][6][7][8].…”

With today’s rapid economic growth, the role of agriculture in production and life has come to the forefront. Many problems in China’s agricultural economy have seriously constrained the vitality of Chinese agriculture. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the study of an agricultural economy, inject new impetus into an agricultural development, develop targeted solutions, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of China’s agricultural economy. Therefore, in this paper, based on the theory of sustainable development of an agricultural economy, this paper constructs a sustainable agricultural development index system in Jiangsu province from five aspects of the DPSIR model: driving force, pressure, state, impact and response and uses principal component analysis to make a comprehensive evaluation of the level of sustainable agricultural development in Jiangsu province from 2010 to 2016. The analysis results show that Jiangsu’s agricultural economy is overall better and steadily improving, and it has made a huge leap in the seven-year period from 2010 to 2016, showing better sustainability. We found that the state subsystem exposed some social problems after analyzing the subsystem, and if relevant measures are not taken in time to solve the emerged problems, it will affect the other subsystems and the sustainability of the agricultural economy.
