Title: | Economic sustainability assessment in semi-steppe rangelands | Authors: | Chelan, Morteza Mofidi Alijanpour, Ahmad Barani, Hossein Motamedi, Javad AZADI, Hossein VAN PASSEL, Steven |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV | Source: | SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 637-638, p. 112-119 | Abstract: | This study was conducted to determine indices and components of economic sustainability assessment in the pastoral units of Sahand summer rangelands. The method was based on descriptive-analytical survey (experts and researchers) with questionnaires. Analysis of variance showed that the mean values of economic components are significantly different from each other and the efficiency component has the highest mean value (0.57). The analysis of rangeland pastoral unitswith the technique for order-preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) indicated that from an economic sustainability standpoint, Garehgol (Ci = 0.519) and Badir Khan (Ci = 0.129), pastoral units ranked first and last, respectively. This study provides a clear understanding of existing resources and opportunities for policy makers that is crucial to approach economic sustainable development. Accordingly, this study can help better define sustainable development goals and monitor the progress of achieving them. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
