Coupling Fuzzy Bi-Level Chance Constraint Programming and Spatial Analysis for Urban Ecological Management by Licheng Fang, Pangpang Gao, Shuguang Wang, Zhenhao Ma

“…Results reveal that (i) carbon fixation and climate regulation are the major contributors to the ecosystem service value, with a proportion of [15.4, 15.6]% and [18.5, 18.8]%, respectively; (ii) the main environmental problem in Xiamen is the water pollution caused by the excessive discharge of commercial and residential land, with COD and NH₃-N account for [68.81, 69.33]% and [67.65, 68.20]% of the total discharge of the city, respectively; (iii) the violation risk <i>p</i> level is the most impact factor, and the schemes with high system benefit would face greater default risk and lower ecological quality; (iv) FBCP model considers the trade-off between economic benefit and ecological quality, while the fuzzy chance constraint programming (FCP) model achieves a high system benefit at the expense of the environment. …”
