Abstract Tools purposed towards supporting the transition to more sustainable urban futures typically focus on specific phenomena at local level. Whilst such approaches remain valuable, there is a need complement this micro approach with broader integrated methods which deal interaction between different components as well their relation processes and policies enacted higher scales. Through ada...

Abstract The paper proposes an agent-based evolutionary ecological-economic model that captures the link between economy and ecosystem in a more inclusive way than standard economic optimization models do. We argue approach is required to understand integrated dynamics of both systems, i.e. micro–macro feedbacks. In paper, we illustrate claim by analyzing non-triviality finding sustainability p...

abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

this paper presents an integrated data envelopment analysis (dea) – principal component analysis (pca) – analytical hierarchy process (ahp) to achieve the efficiency scores and ranks of the insurance companies. fourteen insurance companies with thirteen input and output variables have been considered for the purpose of this study. since the dea model is sensitive to the number of variables in c...
