Abstract: Existing literature about constructing composite indicators (CIs) mainly depend on weighting sub-indicators. In this paper, we first use a state-of-the-art MCDM method with mild weights restrictions to aggregate sub-indicators, without determining exact values of weights.… read more here.

Abstract: Urban agglomerations in plateau regions often face severe landscape fragmentation and cross-boundary ecological pressures, highlighting the need for coordinated eco-logical planning for sustainable urban development. We coupled species–landscape interactions and multi-ecological services to construct sustainable… read more here.
