Features: This book selects an indicator system that is easy for people to understand, employs advanced technologies such as digital maps and high-resolution remote sensing data, and uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine weights, making the method easily understandable and acceptable to decision-makers. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (formerly the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements) will refine the aforementioned method based on the Dongting Lake research case and apply it to other regions in China. The method proposed in this book not only has application value in China but also for other countries facing similar situations, especially in Asia.
