Sustainable Development

13.8K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

20
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

124
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

113
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

3.2K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Decision Making: Traditional Method01:14

Decision Making: Traditional Method

4.3K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Social Science
  • Economics
  • Policy Analysis

Background:

  • Achieving the UN 2030 Agenda requires complex, multidisciplinary approaches.
  • Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) offers robust support for public policy decisions.
  • Assessing sustainability across diverse nations necessitates sophisticated indicator frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply MCA, specifically MRP-WSCI and MRP-PCI, to evaluate the sustainability of 28 EU member states.
  • To analyze progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from 2007 to 2017.
  • To compare sustainability performance across different EU regions and identify specific challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Multiple Reference Point Weak-Strong Composite Indicators (MRP-WSCI) and its partially compensatory version (MRP-PCI).
  • Analyzed sustainability performance against the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
  • Compared data for EU member states across three reference years: 2007, 2012, and 2017.

Main Results:

  • Nordic countries demonstrated strong global sustainability (indicator values 2-3).
  • Eastern European countries, including Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece, exhibited the lowest sustainability levels (values <1.5), particularly in social and economic dimensions.
  • The Netherlands, despite good overall performance, showed environmental sustainability challenges (value <2 in 2017).

Conclusions:

  • MCA, using MRP-WSCI/MRP-PCI, effectively assesses EU sustainability in the context of the UN 2030 Agenda.
  • Significant regional disparities in sustainability exist within the EU, with distinct social, economic, and environmental challenges.
  • Targeted policy interventions are needed to address specific sustainability deficits in different EU member states.
