Evaluate the economic and environmental efficiency of land use from the perspective of decision-makers’ subjective preferences

Land resources are not only the spatial carriers of social and economic development, but also the carriers of environmental and ecological services. With the accelerated urbanization, the non-coordinated development of land resources and environmental protection will restrict economic growth and the...

description Land resources are not only the spatial carriers of social and economic development, but also the carriers of environmental and ecological services. With the accelerated urbanization, the non-coordinated development of land resources and environmental protection will restrict economic growth and the benefits of land use changes. Moreover, the economic efficiency and environmental efficiency of land use largely depend on the value judgment of the decision makers on the future human environment.
