Dynamic Evaluation Method of Water Resources Carrying Capacity Based on Ganme Theory and Five-variable Gravitation Subtraction Set Pair Potential by DONG Tao

“…To recognize the state trend of regional water resources carrying capacity and its key influence indicators,this paper adopts the game theory to determine the combined weight of the evaluation indicators.The five-variable gravitation subtraction set pair potential is introduced to judge the trend and identify the key indicators.The dynamic evaluation method of regional water resources carrying capacity based on the game theory and the five-variable gravitation subtraction set pair potential is established and applied to Guangdong Province.The results show that the water resources carrying capacity of Guangdong Province is generally good and developing well from 2013 to 2019.It fluctuates downward in 2014 and 2017.The five-variable gravitation subtraction set pair potential identifies the key indicators,including the water resources per unit area,the proportion of environmental protection investment in GDP,urbanization rate,and the industrial water consumption per ten thousand yuan output.The evaluation method of regional water resources carrying capacity based on five-variable gravitation subtraction set pair potential is easy to conduct and is readable,which can provide a new method for dynamic evaluation of water resources carrying capacity.…”

Spatio-temporal Evolution and Influencing Factors Analysis of Coordinated Development between Urbanization and Water Resources in Yunnan Province by HAN Lihong, PAN Yujun, GAO Qingyan, LIAO Xuewen

“…The study shows that: ① From 2010 to 2021, the urbanization index of Yunnan Province shows a steady growth trend, while the water resources index is a "W"-shaped fluctuation trajectory, with the overall level of system coupling and coordination developing upward. ② In 2010, 2015, and 2021, the spatial development differences in the coupling coordination degree of cities and states are significant, and the overall level is improved; the overall difference of the coupling coordination degree fluctuates with a small decline, and the development difference is the largest in central Yunnan, and the smallest in western Yunnan; the main source of geographical development imbalance is the inter-area difference. ③ The utilization rate of water resource development, the proportion of urban employed population, the per capita green space area of parks, the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries, the amount of urban sewage generation, per capita water resources, and precipitation are the main factors restricting the coordinated development of urbanization and water resources.…”
