Abstract
As China continues to develop its ecological civilization, it is crucial to quantitatively assess the ecological value to understand its potential impact on regional sustainable development. While previous studies have highlighted the importance of ecological value, they have not fully reflected the value of ecological restoration work or considered social costs and benefits, lacking a people-centered approach. Hence, this study analyzes the essence of ecological value from the perspective of sustainable development. By studying emblematic ecological restoration areas such as the Saihanba Mechanized Forest Farm in Chengde City, it aims to identify the significance of ecological restoration efforts in enhancing regional sustainable development capacity. The results underscore the necessity of comprehensively considering the value chain from ecological construction to ecological output, highlighting the value of ecological restoration in the ecological construction process as well as the well-being of people in the ecological output process. This approach assigns more economic and humanistic attributes to ecological value, thereby better serving the development of ecological restoration areas.
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Population, Resources and Environment (CJPRE) is a peer-reviewed international academic journal that publishes original research in the fields of economic, population, resource, and environment studies as they relate to sustainable development. The journal aims to address and evaluate theoretical frameworks, capability building initiatives, strategic goals, ethical values, empirical research, methodologies, and techniques in the field. CJPRE began publication in 1992 and is sponsored by the Chinese Society for Sustainable Development (CSSD), the Research Center for Sustainable Development of Shandong Province, the Administrative Center for China's Agenda 21 (ACCA21), and Shandong Normal University. The Chinese title of the journal was inscribed by the former Chinese leader, Mr. Deng Xiaoping. Initially focused on China's advances in sustainable development, CJPRE now also highlights global developments from both developed and developing countries.
