IntroductionEducation for sustainable development (ESD) has become a key focus in higher education transformation. Design disciplines play a unique role in cultivating students' creativity to address complex social and e...

Rural women in developing countries often face significant barriers to employment, income generation, and access to productive resources. In Iran, medicinal plants (MPs) cultivation offers a sustainable pathway toward ec...

Abstract Ecotourism is increasingly recognized as a sustainable development strategy for environmentally sensitive mountain regions. However, its effectiveness depends on spatially informed planning and community accepta...

Process safety management (PSM) systems in offshore petroleum operations require systematic prioritization owing to complex technologies, harsh conditions, and resource constraints. This study develops an integrated fram...

Abstract Globally groundwater depletion threatens water security with aquifer storage declining at 300 km³/year. Climate change intensifies flood frequency and magnitude causing agricultural and other losses. Punjab, I...

This study presents a decision-making framework using the fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS model to evaluate innovative agroecological and sustainable intensification approaches for strategic Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) management...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

Maritime accidents remain a persistent challenge in confined and high-density waterways, where technical, human, environmental, and organizational factors interact. This paper proposes an integrated fuzzy Multi-Criteria ...

Bangladesh is highly susceptible to recurrent and devastating floods due to its geographic location. This research investigates the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in developing flood evacuation route...

Under the dual impacts of global climate change and human activities, drought disasters in the Inner Mongolia grassland are a critical constraint on the high-quality development of animal husbandry. Based on disaster sys...

With increasing impacts of climate change, vulnerable low-lying developing countries like Bangladesh have coastal zones that experience disproportionate loss and damage (L&D) that exceed the limits of local adaptation. T...

Rapid urbanization and increasing energy demand have intensified environmental pressures, particularly in the transportation sector, which remains one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. Although ele...

Abstract This study proposes a need-driven framework for the modular design of functional armchairs for young adults living alone. It aims to establish a systematic linkage among user-need priorities, functional organiza...

Abstract Background Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a heme metabolism disorder characterized by acute abdominal pain episodes, with diagnostic delays and misdiagnosis due to heterogeneous presentations and symptom overl...

Federated learning (FL) in mobile edge computing (MEC) operates over wireless links with time-varying bandwidth, latency, and packet loss, which makes conventional full-model synchronization inefficient and vulnerable to...

Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, but allied health professionals’ (AHPs) perspectives on AI integration remain underexplored, especially in Malaysia. This study examined AHPs’ perce...

This article presents the Climate-Resilient Systems Prioritisation Index (CRESPI), a GIS-based spatial decision-support framework developed to support climate resilience planning through the prioritisation of Nature-base...

Forest fires have exhibited an escalating trend in both frequency and intensity globally, with major and catastrophic events causing significant damage to forest resources, human lives, and property. Timely and accurate ...

Water-scarce smallholder regions require irrigation strategies that are both biophysically credible and socially legitimate. We propose an integrated hydro-economic decision-support framework for the Cesar Department (Co...

In response to issues in regional landslide risk evaluation (LRE), such as the over-reliance on administrative unit statistics for vulnerability characterization and the difficulty in capturing the fine-scale spatial het...

Climate change–driven drought increasingly threatens water security and community resilience in climate-sensitive watersheds like the Bicol River Basin (BRB) in the Philippines, highlighting the urgent need for sustain...

Background Female Technology (FemTech) apps are increasingly used worldwide, but perspectives from Arabic-speaking users remain underreported. Understanding user priorities in this context is critical for culturally rele...

Assessing land degradation is essential for identifying susceptible regions and planning sustainable landscape management approaches. This research employed a combination of geographic information system (GIS) and multic...

Granite residual soil (GRS) slopes are widely distributed in the humid and rainy regions around the world. Due to their unique mineral and pore composition, these soils exhibit a loose structure and are prone to softenin...
