Assessing resource efficiency in Vietnam
This study aims to comprehensively evaluate Vietnam's resource efficiency to support sustainable development by developing and applying an integrated resource efficiency assessment framework (IREAF). Since the 1990s, Vietnam's economy has undergone rapid development, resulting in unprecedented growth in resource consumption and environmental pressures. To address this, we propose a multidimensional framework that combines economy‐wide material fl…
Mapping nationwide material stock turnover
Understanding the dynamics of building material stocks and flows, including the turnover processes of building stock, is important for promoting sustainable resource use in cities. This study provides high‐resolution, integrated mapping of building material stocks and flows across various cities and regions in Japan, offering a detailed view of the country's spatial material metabolism. This research combines bottom‐up estimates of material stock…
Resource-carbon” redistribution caused by Japan's cement production and consumption
Uncovering urban transportation infrastructure expansion and sustainability challenge in Bangkok
Development of transportation infrastructure that extends roads and railways in Bangkok has overlooked the negative environmental impact of construction material accumulation. To analyze the extent of this impact, we originally established road and railway's material intensity coefficients and investigated spatially explicit roadway and railway material stock (MS) for the years of 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019, and 2037, based upon the master plans’ tar…
What matters most to the material intensity coefficient of buildings? Random forest‐based evidence from China
Material intensity coefficient (MIC) is vital for material stock accounting in the field of industrial ecology. However, the categorization of MIC varies across regions especially for buildings that diverge greatly along the history and space aspect, and acquisition of MIC data and building information have always been a challenge in related studies. In this study, the state‐of‐art ensemble model “Random Forest” was developed on Chinese buildings…
