“…Hypothesis testing is an essential step in the analysis of the Linear Regression Model (Mahmoud and Vogt, 2021), enabling us to assess the statistical significance of each independent variable. For the model with five independent variables (Population, Life Expectancy at Birth, Labor Force, Net Migration, and Unemployment), the null and alternative hypotheses for each coefficient (β) can be formulated as follows:…”

“…The influential work of Becker (1964) introduced the concept of human capital, emphasizing the role of education and skills in fostering economic growth (Becker, 1964), (Schultz, 1961) and (Abdurashidova et al, 2023). Subsequent research, such as Barro (1991) and Mankiw et al (1992), has further elucidated the critical role of a skilled and educated labor force in sustainable economic development (Mankiw et al, 1992) and (Barro, 1991).…”

This research paper investigates the sophisticated relationship between socio-economic indicators and sustainable economic development in Egypt, employing a Linear Regression Model to provide an accurate analysis. Focusing on key variables such as Population, Life Expectancy at Birth, and Labor Force, the study seeks to discern their impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP). With R Square of 0.9443, the model exhibits strong explanatory power. Noteworthy coefficients include a positive relationship between Population and GDP (β = $9,302.27), a negative relationship between Life Expectancy at Birth and GDP (β = -$45.77 Bln), and a positive relationship between Labor Force and GDP (β = $10,097.49). These findings contribute subtle insights to the literature and offer policymakers valuable information for fostering sustainable economic development in Egypt.

Land use transition results from economic and social transformations. Land use in the mountainous Chengdu-Chongqing region is disturbed by multiple natural factors and economic activities, contributing to the difficulty in space governance in this area. Clarifying the transformation process and mechanism of land use transition and proposing solutions for special regions can help achieve the goal of urban-rural integration development at the national level. This study applied the land use transfer matrix (LUTM), exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), and spatial centers of gravity (SCG) and spatial econometric models to explore the characteristics and mechanisms of land use transition in mountainous the Chengdu-Chongqing region. Our findings indicated that: 1) the characteristics of structural transition of land use in this region showed similarity in two phases. In both phases, the size of cultivated land decreased, while that of construction land increased. The increase in construction land area occurred primarily due to the transfer of cultivated land to construction land. The areas of woodland and unused land fluctuated, while the areas of grassland and water body decreased slightly. 2) The characteristics of spatial transition of land use in the Chengdu-Chongqing region showed significant spatial aggregation in different phases. In this period, the gravity center of land use types in the region changed frequently with time. The gravity center of cultivated land moved northwest, while those of woodland moved northeast first and then southwest, that of grassland moved northeast constantly, that of water bodies moved southeast first and then northwest and that of unutilized land moved northwest. 3) The land use transition in the Chengdu-Chongqing region was driven by many natural and socio-economic factors. The growth of construction land in this region was significantly impacted by the available resources, economic growth, urbanization rate, population migration, and policies. With the expansion of regional economic differences, economic growth and the evolution of industrial structures played crucial roles in the transition of construction land. The transfers from cultivated land to woodland and grassland were primarily affected by the policies regarding land use and ecological protection. 4) The mechanism of land use transition in the Chengdu-Chongqing region showed significant coupling. The land use transition in the Chengdu-Chongqing region was a transitional process from conflict to coordination guided by national and regional policies. The conflict in this process was mainly the change in land supply and demand caused by regional economic activities. The quantity of land supply in this region depended heavily on the land use policies for living, production, and ecology. The land use transition in this region was a dynamic coupling system resulting from the interdependence and restriction of natural conditions, social economies, and policy systems.

“…Through the development or combination of different agricultural industries in rural areas, different-oriented results can be achieved, such as the combination of a production factory with a processing plant and tourism, which result in a new model of business that, at the right time and location, may promote economic development. For example, in small and medium-sized cities in Egypt, new tourism development models can be used to increase income and maintain a balance with nature [5].…”

Development in water resource protection areas frequently grapples with balancing environmental sustainability and local economic growth. Consequently, a nuanced assessment of social resilience becomes imperative. This research presented a case study of the Water Resource Protection Area in Taipei, gauging its social resilience across five dimensions: “social support function”, “inclusive governance”, “economic allocation”, “built environment”, and “resources for sustainability”. From these, 49 influential factors that could impact the social resilience of the water resource protection area were discerned. Through the engagement of 21 experts via questionnaires and subsequent analysis using the Fuzzy Delphi method, this study identified 23 core factors. Notably, influential factors pertaining to the “social support function” significantly impacted the water resource protection area. The findings aim to streamline the evaluation of social resilience in water resource protection areas, potentially guiding future research utilizing the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method and steering industrial developments in these areas.
