“…Cole and Sinclair [2002], Bicknell et al [1998], and Parker and Selman [1997] are some of the leading proponents of this approach. Other researchers have started to establish their own methodologies with a focus more on environmental impacts than resource availability, among which are Mwalyosi [1991], McConnell [1995], Graymore [2005], and Graymore et al [2010]. NRECC methodologies form a different perspective regarding resources and environment which so far includes various organizational elements, such as the carrying capacity of land resources [Cohen, 1995;Gutteridge, 2006;Fairlie, 2007], the carrying capacity of water resources [Falkenmark and Lundqvist, 1998;Peters et al, 2009;Song et al, 2011], the carrying capacity of the environment or environmental capacity [Van Den Bergh, 1993;McConnell, 1995;Graymore et al, 2010], the ecological sustainability index or ecological footprint [Rees, 1992;Barrett and Odum, 2000;Sidle et al, 2013].…”
