A systematic comparison of domestic and foreign research progress is valuable for understanding the current research situation in China, grasping the latest forms abroad, and guiding the next research direction. Based on the core databases of “China Knowledge Network Database” and “Web of Science”, and the period of 2000–2021 as the time span, CiteSpace V and ArcGIS software were used to compare the research progress of adventure tourism in China and worldwide. (1) The quantity and quality of domestic literature in the field of adventure tourism lag behind the literature from foreign countries. (2) Compared with foreign research scholars, who mainly work in teams of two or three, the number of large research teams in China is larger and they are widely distributed. (3) Compared with foreign research institutions, which are mainly universities concentrated in Europe and North America and have strong inter-institutional ties, China's research institutions are mainly universities concentrated in Beijing, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, but their inter-institutional ties are weak. (4) In terms of research themes, compared with the diffusion model centered on such keywords as “adventure tourism”, “tourism”, “behavior” and “risk”, the research in China presents a characteristic with “adventure tourism” as the center and the other keywords are more diffused. (5) Foreign studies often focus on the environmental impact of adventure tourism activities and environmental protection, while domestic studies tend to focus on the experience and satisfaction of adventure tourists. Accordingly, we propose that the domestic research system of adventure tourism should be improved by constructing a scientific adventure tourism theoretical system, strengthening the cross-disciplinary research of adventure tourism, strengthening the weak research areas, broadening the research population and research area, and paying more attention to research on adventure tourism that is centered on project tourism.","PeriodicalId":53414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources and Ecology","volume":"27 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135935099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, improving the sponge city's capacity for resisting the risk of urban flooding is challenging. The relevant concept of ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR) is currently one of the main international theories of urban resilience, and it has important value for enhancing urban stormwater resilience. An approach for improving the stormwater resilience of sponge cities is presented in this paper, using the urban design of Jiangchuanlu Street in Shanghai as an example and the stormwater model to simulate flood disasters on Jiangchuanlu Street. In addition to the simulation results, the population and property conditions of the site were combined in order to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment through the risk matrix. Then, the Eco-DRR measures were implemented to enhance the urban stormwater resilience of Jiangchuanlu Street based on the assessment results. Finally, the ecological infrastructure of the study area was constructed, and the safety and health units were created on the basis of the ecological substrate to prevent and respond to public health emergencies. The results show that the stormwater resilience enhancement approach based on Eco-DRR can effectively alleviate the flood risk of Jiangchuanlu Street. At the same time, the safety and health units created through the ecological infrastructure can also help to prevent and respond to public health emergencies. The results of this study provide a resilience enhancement approach for sponge cities based on Eco-DRR, as well as a theoretical reference for the planning and construction of safe and resilient cities.","PeriodicalId":53414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources and Ecology","volume":"28 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135933980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper evaluates the green water resource utilization efficiency (GWRUE) of 38 regions in the four-city area in central China during 2010–2019 using a super-slacks-based measure (super-SBM) DEA model considering unexpected output. Then, the spatiotemporal variations in GWRUE are analyzed by the standard deviational ellipse method, and the geographical detector method is employed to reveal the dominant impacts and interaction impacts on GWRUE spatiotemporal variations. The results show that: (1) From 2010 to 2019, the GWRUE in the four-city area in central China was low, and the difference among regions was obvious, showing a downward trend. (2) From 2010 to 2019, the spatial gravity center of GWRUE experienced a change process from northeast to southwest, and its moving speed showed a “waveform” rising trend. Moreover, the standard deviational ellipse (SDE) range of each characteristic time point showed a decreasing trend, indicating that the spatial variations in GWRUE tended to be agglomerated. (3) From 2010 to 2019, the influence of each factor on the spatial variations in GWRUE was different each year. In addition, the two-way interactions between different influencing factors were mainly manifested as bivariate enhancement relationships and nonlinear enhancement relationships and were especially affected by multiple factors that produce a nonlinear enhancement interaction. This study can provide a practical basis for realizing water ecological civilization construction and high-quality development in the four-city area in central China.","PeriodicalId":53414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources and Ecology","volume":"29 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135934156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that: (1) Government management is still the dominant player in the spatial game, and the satisfaction of both market governance and social governance have significant impacts on its overall satisfaction; and (2) To improve the satisfaction of the spatial game, it is necessary to strengthen its cost control, face up to the status and role of its behavior subjects, and accurately recognize its target groups.

The Mann-Kendall (M-K) trend test and linear regression method (LRM) were compared with the ITA technique. The results showed that the annual Rs in China presented a significant decreasing trend (D<–0.5 and P<0.01, where P is the P-value and D is the trend indicator of ITA) using these three techniques. The seasonal Rs generally showed a significant decreasing trend (D<–0.5) using the ITA technique in China, however, a slightly increasing trend was observed in Japan. The Rs values were further divided into four groups (“low”, “moderate”, “high” and “very high”) to detect the sub-trends using the ITA technique. The results indicated that the decreasing annual Rs in China was mainly due to reductions in the “high” and “very high” Rs values. The most probable causes of the trends in the variation in China were the decreasing sunshine duration and increasing anthropogenic aerosol loadings; while the trends in Japan were probably driven by the increasing sunshine and declining cloud optical thickness. Moreover, the similarities and differences between the M-K test and ITA technique results were compared and evaluated, and the ITA technique proved to be superior to the M-K test.","PeriodicalId":53414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources and Ecology","volume":"29 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135933974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that from 2000 to 2019, the carbon emissions of tourism in the Yangtze River Economic Belt exhibited a sustained growth trend and then a downward trend, and the overall spatial pattern was ‘low in the central region and high in the east and west’. In the different scenarios, the carbon emissions of tourism in the Yangtze River Economic Belt in the future show a trend of increasing at first and then decreasing, with peaks in different periods. In the historical period, the decoupling state of carbon emissions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt was mainly weak decoupling. Under the benchmark scenario, the decoupling of carbon emissions in the future tourism industry will not reach a strong decoupling state, while under the medium and low-carbon scenarios, strong decoupling will be achieved in different periods. Carbon emission intensity is the main factor in promoting the decoupling of tourism carbon emission in the historical period, while carbon emission intensity and investment efficiency are the main factors driving decoupling in the future. Accordingly, low-carbon development strategies are proposed for tourism in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.","PeriodicalId":53414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources and Ecology","volume":"29 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135934153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coupled coordination degree model was used to analyze the relationship and trend of coupled and coordinated development of ski tourism, the ecological environment and urbanization in the three provinces of Northeast China. The results show that the overall development level of the S-E-U system in the Northeast has been relatively stable, and the level of coordinated development is still low. The overall comprehensive development level of the system is characterized by changes in stages, and the variability and consistency coexist in the development level of each subsystem. Except for Liaoning Province, the coupled coordination type of ski tourism, the ecological environment and urbanization in the other two provinces is “barely coordinated-lagging urbanization”. The development trend of coupling coordination is significantly correlated with fluctuations in ecological environmental quality, and the ecological environment will become a key element in determining regional development.","PeriodicalId":53414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Resources and Ecology","volume":"17 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135934459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evolution characteristics of the spatiotemporal pattern of EPC at the provincial, prefecture and county levels in the YREB were analyzed. The results show that: (1) Through the coefficient of variation (CV), we found that the coefficient of variation (CV) of EPC in the YREB showed a downward trend at the provincial, prefecture and county levels. Specifically, the county-level EPC has the largest difference, followed by the provincial and prefecture-level. (2) Through the kernel density analysis, we found that the EPC agglomeration degree in the YREB obviously shows the characteristics of decreasing from the east to the central and western regions. (3) Through the rank-scale rule, it is found that the |q| value of the YREB has been in a downward trend during the research period at the provincial, prefecture and county scales, and the |q| value is constantly approaching 1. It directly shows that the scale and quantity distribution of EPC in the YREB at the provincial, prefecture and county levels are becoming more and more reasonable.
