An indicator for soil physical quality in integrated sustainability assessment models Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek
Safeguarding the quality of natural resources is important for ecological sustainability. One of the most important negative consequences of modern agricultural production is the physical degradation of the soil, resulting in erosion and compaction. Reduced soil physical quality not only has serious effects on crop yields, but also negatively affects the soil functions and is difficult to reverse. This article lists the indicators for the key ...
City planning policies to support health and sustainability: an international comparison of policy indicators for 25 cities Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
City planning policies influence urban lifestyles, health, and sustainability. We assessed policy frameworks for city planning for 25 cities across 19 lower-middle-income countries, upper-middle-income countries, and high-income countries to identify whether these policies supported the creation of healthy and sustainable cities. We systematically collected policy data for evidence-informed indicators related to integrated city planning, air ...
Assessing the tourism sustainability of EU regions at the NUTS-2 level with a composite and regionalised indicator KU Leuven
In the tourism sector, sustainability has become a principal goal in destination management to strengthen the competitiveness and attractiveness of destinations. However, when it comes to sustainability, there is no absolute scale to conduct spatial analysis. In this article, we propose regions as a unit of analysis for sustainability assessments. Our empirical approach aims to assign regional variability to national indicators, which would make ...
Revisiting modal split as an urban sustainability indicator using citizen science Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven
This paper discusses three uses of modal split indicators, and illustrates how it evolved from a technical, intermediate step in transport analysis, over a measure of transport system efficiency to a symbolic urban sustainable mobility indicator. A framework which includes 11 factors is presented and applied to the different uses of the modal split indicator. Besides the comparison of the three main uses of modal split in research and practice, ...
Developing an airport sustainability evaluation index through composite indicator approach Universiteit Antwerpen
This paper proposes a holistic definition of airport sustainability comprising social, economic, operational, and environmental dimensions. Methodologically, a composite indicator approach is applied to build the Airport Sustainability Evaluation Index (ASEI), which aims to benchmark airports' sustainability performance across the four dimensions. To justify the issue of subjectivity in composite indicator building, two different methods are ...
