Abstract:
With the development of the concept of utilizing natural resources with a supporting approach and environmental capacity, knowledge of the performance of ecosystem services is needed in planning the management of the Kampar Kir Production Forest Management Unit to ensure the sustainability of ecosystems that produce various ecosystem services needed for human life. This study aims to determine the condition of the carrying capacity and the carrying capacity of the environment in the Kampar Kiri forest management unit and the management block model that is formulated with an ecosystem services approach. This research belongs to naturalistic / qualitative research and the researcher does not treat it with analytical techniques using ArcGIS software. The research was conducted from July to December 2019. The results showed that the condition of the carrying capacity and carrying capacity of the forest area in KPH Kampar Kiri currently provides services for several types of ecosystem services which are considered as services that are relevant to the function of forest areas. Modeling of management blocks with the consideration of the Ecosystem Services approach provides a reference for 2 (two) types of management blocks in primary forests and 5 (five) types of management blocks in production forests. The area of each management block that is structured using an ecosystem services approach gives a different area variation from the existing blocks that are prepared using a natural resource grouping approach.

Abstract:
The latest research has approached the ecosystem's carrying capacity, an issue that both the specialists in demography and the specialists in human ecology inquired about, to be able to estimate based on scientific grounds the limits of natural development and of demographic growth. The carrying capacity is a characteristic feature of every ecological system or category of ecosystems, depending on their development stages and the hierarchic stage they are part of. Consequently, the carrying capacity is the concrete expression of the stability domain expressing the ecosystem's ability to modify its structural and functional parameters under the influence of the command factors. The stability domain of an ecosystem designates the direction in which it is developing, with the mention that the process is taking place on very large time scales, of over 100 years and is reversible, each time a strong impact from external factors is exerted on the system. It results, in this context, that the notion of “carrying capacity” actually points to the capacity of functioning of large, complex and dynamic systems, as ecological systems are.

Abstract:
One of the ecosystem services provided by the mangrove ecosystem is cultural service, which provides the benefits of recreation, aesthetics, and spirituality. The utilization of mangrove ecosystems, which can preserve and maintain the ecosystem, is through scientific research, education, and ecotourism. Ecotourism is a tourist activity that can Support the sustainability of using natural resources because it prioritizes natural resources over tourist facilities. This research aims to determine mangrove ecosystems’ suitability and carrying capacity for developing mangrove ecotourism. It was conducted from August until September 2022 at the Paljaya Mangrove Restoration and Learning Centre (MRLC), Segarajaya Village, Bekasi Regency. Data analysis was performed using the Tourism Suitability Index (TSI) and an assessment of the Carrying Capacity of the Region (CCR) to ensure the maximum capacity of the MRLC area in accommodating visitors at a particular time. The TSI value obtained from this study is 2.09 and is included in the Suitable category for ecotourism development. The length of the bridge for the mangrove tracking area is 230 m, with the area’s carrying capacity being 37 people/day. Therefore, recommendations that can be made in policy making are to increase mangrove planting activities and maintain mangrove sustainability.

Abstract:
Wajo Regency ecosystem has an abundance of natural and ecological resources with great potential. However, the rapid pace of development activities followed by rapid land conversion has put the sustainability of the supporting ecosystems under pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to map the carrying capacity of the environment based on ecosystem services in Wajo Regency in order to identify the fit between environmental carrying capacity and development in Wajo Regency. Research is at Wajo Regency, through the identification of land cover. ecosystem service-based land capability based analysis is conducted using an Analysis Hierarchy Process to determine the value of ecosystem services from four classes of environmental services, namely water supply, food supply, natural disaster prevention and runoff, and flood management. Instructions for completing spatial patterns in Wajo Regency are performed by analyzing the overlap of the ecosystem service-based bearing capacity map with the Wajo Regency spatial pattern map to obtain a class of spatial pattern alignment. The orientation class is based on the carrying capacity of the land capability based based on ecosystem services to optimize land cover in Wajo Regency. Results of this study show that the land capability based of the four examined ecosystem services in Wajo Regency is dominated by high and low classes. The results of the evaluation of the RTRW by Wajo Regency show that an area of 42,048.97 ha corresponds to the carrying capacity based on ecosystem services. An area of 199,454.11 hectares of land is less oriented, but most of it is retained based on the direction of the spatial pattern. In terms of environmental sustainability based on ecosystem services, the most important land accesses are in the designated settlement areas, other protected areas and local protected areas.

Abstract:
Quantifying the ecological carrying capacity has emerged as a crucial factor for maintaining ecosystem stability for sustainable development in vulnerable eco-regions. Here, we propose a new framework for ecological carrying capacity quantification suitable for vulnerable eco-regions. We applied this framework to calculate the ecological carrying capacity of Inner Mongolia from 1987–2015 and used a geographical detector to identify the driving factors behind spatial heterogeneity. Our results revealed the following. (1) The above-ground net primary production (ANPP) required to support the ecosystem service of soil conservation (ANPPSC) decreased from northeast to southwest, whereas the distribution pattern of ANPP required to support the ecosystem service of sand fixation (ANPPSF) exhibited a contrary trend. The average annual ANPP required to support the ecosystem service of natural regeneration (ANPPNR) in Inner Mongolia from 1987 to 2015 was 101.27 gCm-2year-1, revealing a similar spatial distribution with ANPP. (2) The total ecological carrying capacity of Inner Mongolian grassland was 78.52 million sheep unit hm-2. The regions with insufficient provisioning service capability accounted for 4.18% of the total area, primarily concentrated in the east and northwest. (3) The average optimal livestock number for grasslands in Inner Mongolia was 1.59 sheep unit hm-2 from 1987–2015, ranging from 0.77 to 1.69 sheep unit hm-2 across different zones. The average ecological carrying capacity of the cold temperate humid, medium-temperate arid, and warm temperate semi-humid regions was less than 1.08 sheep unit m-2, suggesting a need to prohibit grazing in these areas. (4) The primary influencing factors affecting ecological carrying capacity distribution were normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), precipitation, and soil type. The framework developed herein can help identify sustainable development potential from the ecosystem service perspective and effectively contribute to decision-making in grassland ecosystem management.

Abstract:
Mangrove ecosystems are highly vulnerable to damage, making their conservation crucial. The development of mangrove ecotourism serves as an approach to utilizing ecosystem services sustainably without causing harm. Ecotourism in mangrove ecosystems is beneficial as it synergizes with conservation efforts to protect the ecosystems. This study aims to assess the suitability and carrying capacity of mangrove ecotourism in Kampung Nipah, Sei Nagalawan Village of North Sumatra. The research was conducted in July 2023 within the mangrove ecotourism area of Kampung Nipah. The research location was selected using the purposive sampling method, consisting of three stations. Primary ecological data were collected through the transect method. The descriptive method was applied to analyze the tourism suitability index (TSI) and the spatial carrying capacity (SCC). The results indicate that the TSI values for the three substations were 1.97, 1.87, and 1.87 out of 3, while the SCC (carrying capacity) was 200 people per day. Based on these findings, the mangrove ecotourism area in Kampung Nipah, Sei Nagalawan Village, is conditionally suitable for tourism. The following recommendations can be implemented to expand the mangrove area to increase ecosystem thickness and maintain a visitor quota system to regulate tourist numbers and ensure sustainability.

Abstract:
Sustainable development is a key focus of Indonesia’s policy framework, as mandated by Law No. 32 of 2009 and Government Regulation No. 46 of 2016, which emphasize integrating Environmental Carrying Capacity and Load Capacity (CCLC) into development planning. This study identifies challenges in current CCLC assessments, including limited data accuracy and inconsistent methodologies. To address these issues, an innovative Environmental CCLC Determination System is proposed, integrating ecosystem services and advanced spatial modeling. The research methodology combines a comprehensive literature review and expert interviews to analyze existing practices and design the system. The proposed system incorporates decision support tools and spatial data analysis to provide a scientifically grounded, unbiased, and accessible framework for policymakers. Initial implementation will involve collaboration with academic experts, universities, and local governments, particularly in Bogor Regency and Bogor City. The system is expected to significantly enhance regional planning and environmental stewardship by the end of the 2025–2030 development period, aligning policies with sustainable development goals.

Full text
Abstract:
With the recent growth of the hard clam aquaculture industry, sites of intensive aquaculture have emerged as large-scale agro-ecosystems where the success of aquaculture production is dynamically linked to ecosystem function. Large scale clam aquaculture operations are associated with a range of potential positive and negative feedbacks related to nutrient dynamics, water and sediment quality, proliferation of macroalgae, and carrying capacity. Quantitative modeling tools are needed to support system-level planning related to site selection, scale of operations, production capacity and ecosystem function. The purpose of this study was to develop a model for Cherrystone Inlet, VA, where one-third (1.9 km2) of the sub-tidal bottom area is held as 37 separate, private shellfish leases with an estimated 100-150 million cultured clams. A reduced complexity estuarine ecosystem model was coupled with a hard clam energetics and growth model and a watershed loading model. The linked models facilitate ecosystem-based management and enable regional spatial planning in a full ecosystem context, through coupled simulations of aquaculture activities, land use changes, nutrient loading, climate change, and estuarine response. Modeled output for hard clam growth and water column chlorophyll-o, dissolved oxygen, and dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorous reproduced in situ data. Simulations with increasing clam numbers up to 500 million resulted in diminishing returns in terms of reduced growth rates, increased time to harvestable size, and reduced harvestable biomass, confirming observations by Cherrystone farmers of reduced clam growth rates above 200 million cultured clams. Modeled hard clam production capacity decreased in the absence of benthic microalgal resuspension (6%) and without the input of external production from the Chesapeake Bay (41%), and increased in simulations with increased water column chlorophyll-o (11%) and the removal of predator exclusion nets (13%). Simulations to optimize siting indicated that the highest hard clam growth rates occurred up-estuary. Model simulations with changes in land use and climate indicated that clam growth is most sensitive to increasing temperature, with rates decreasing by 37% when temperatures were increased by 5°C, while changes in land use, sea level rise and salinity did not result in large changes in hard clam production. At the system scale hard clam aquaculture was predicted to account for 14% of total nitrogen inputs to the water column between sediment recycling of clam feces (13%) and direct clam excretion (1%). The Cherrystone ecosystem model fills a critical gap on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and in similar coastal systems, providing resource managers with the most current available science in a decision-support framework to promote effective regional spatial planning and sustainability of hard clam operations and the surrounding coastal ecosystems.

Abstract:
Les chiroptères sont reconnus comme de potentiels régulateurs des populations d’insectes. Ce sont aussi les mammifères européens pour lesquels les enjeux de conservation sont les plus importants. Ils trouvent dans les forêts des habitats favorables qui sont cependant menacés par les changements climatiques et la fragmentation. Il convient donc de mieux comprendre lesrelations entre les communautés de chiroptères, leurs habitats et leurs proies en forêt. L'objectif de cette thèse est de quantifier les effets, à différentes échelles spatiales, desprincipales composantes de l’habitat forestier sur l’activité, la richesse spécifique, la diversité fonctionnelle et la composition des communautés de chiroptères européens. Les résultats reposent sur des données collectées grâce à des protocoles expérimentaux en Aquitaine et dans les six pays du réseau de placettes forestières organisé par le projet FunDivEurope. De la parcelle au continent, l'accroissement de la diversité des essences forestières, de la proportion de feuillus et du bois mort, en augmentant les ressources en proies et en gîtes, ont des effets positifs sur les communautés de chiroptères. Ces effets, non stationnaires, se renforcent vers le nord avec la rigueur du climat. Nous confirmons également que les chiroptères forestiers, par leur réponse numérique et fonctionnelle aux densités de proie, peuvent limiter la démographie d’un insecte défoliateur. Des mesures de gestion, visant le renforcement des structures-clés des habitats forestiers, sont proposées pour favoriser la conservation des communautés de chiroptères et leur capacité de régulation des insectes ravageurs<br>Insectivorous bats are increasingly recognized as potential regulators of pest insect populations.They also represent the group of European mammals with the most unfavorable conservation status. Forests are key habitats for many bat species but are currently under threat from climate change and fragmentation. It is therefore urgent to better understand the relationships between the bats, their prey and their habitats in forests. Our main objective was to quantify the effects, at multiple spatial scales, of the main attributes of forest habitats on the activity, species richness, functional diversity and composition of European bat communities. They were studied using manipulative experiments in Aquitaine plantation forests and automatic recordings in the network of exploratory plots set up in six European countries by the FunDivEurope project. From the plot to the continent scale, increasing tree diversity, amount of broad leaved trees and dead wood, had positive effects on bat communities through an increase in prey and roost resources. However these effects were not stationary, being stronger at higher latitudes, probably due to lower habitat carrying capacity in relation to harsher climatic conditions. In addition we experimentally demonstrated that the numerical and functional responses of bats to prey density could result in effective regulation of pine processionary moth populations. Forest management strategies aim at enhancing key habitat structures, are eventually proposed in order to improve the conservation of bats and to increase the service of pest regulation they can provide

Alors que nous faisons face à une crise biologique majeure, acteurs institutionnel et ONGs exhortent les entreprises à s’engager pour enrayer cette érosion écologique. L’objectif de la thèse est d’analyser, évaluer et faire évoluer la contribution potentielle des entreprises à la conservation de la biodiversité dans le cadre de leur responsabilité sociétale (RSE).Un cadre d’analyse est développé pour évaluer la prise en charge par une entreprise de ses responsabilités écologiques en termes de moyens – les initiatives RSE a priori favorables à la biodiversité mises en œuvre – et de résultats – la compatibilité des activités de l’entreprise avec la conservation de la biodiversité. Après avoir caractérisé les initiatives RSE à partir de l’étude d’engagements d’entreprises endossés comme contributions à la Stratégie nationale pour la biodiversité, une méthode est proposée pour détecter si les activités d’une entreprise sont écologiquement non-durables. Le postulat est que le respect des capacités de charge des écosystèmes est un prérequis à la conservation effective de la biodiversité. Cette méthode, adaptée de l’évaluation environnementale absolue de la durabilité, est appliquée, dans le cadre de deux projets de recherche-intervention, au portfolio alimentaire du Groupe Casino et au cycle de vie de deux installations de stockage de déchets dangereux de SARP Industries.

The objective of the thesis is to analyze and evaluate the potential contribution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to biodiversity conservation.A framework is developed to analyze to which extent a company takes in charge its ecological responsibilities. After characterizing CSR initiatives based on the case study of business commitments to contribute to the French National Biodiversity Strategy, a method is proposed to test whether business activities exert unsustainable pressures on ecosystems. It is assumed that compatibility with ecosystems’ carrying capacities is a prerequisite for effective biodiversity conservation. This method, adapted from the “absolute environmental sustainability assessment” (AESA) approach, is applied in the context of research-intervention projects to the food portfolio of the mass-market retailer Groupe Casino and to the life cycle of two facilities of SARP Industrie specialized in the disposal and storage of hazardous waste. The comparison of the company’s environmental footprints with the ecological constraints is used to draw a comprehensive strategy based on the mitigation hierarchy.

碩士<br>大漢技術學院<br>土木工程與環境資源管理研究所<br>103<br>This study started since 2012 till 2014 at Su Hua Coastal Area in Taroko National Park, is based on environment monitoring and recreational facility carrying capacity assessment. Sampling the surface water of Da Fu river and Qingshui River, followed by monitoring the water quality. At Congde , Huide and Da Qingshui recreation area, using Manual method to determine the particulate mass concentration of atmospheric PM10 and PM2.5, by analyzes the carbonaceous compound and concentration of particulate, further estimates possibly sources of the pollution. Within the most visited Congde recreation area, investigation on the amount of visitors, traffic composition of neighboring roads and the service condition of parking lots and public restrooms are carried out. The result is shown as below: Quality of Su Hua Coastal rivers remain well as the dissolved oxygen fulfilled the saturation dissolved oxygen up to 98%, the rivers possess good assimilative capacity and self purification ability. The average particulate mass concentration of PM10 in Su Hua coastal recreation area is 50μg/m3, mainly sourced sequentially from: sea-salt related ions, secondary particles, and traffic pollution. The average particulate mass concentration of PM2.5 is 16μg/m3, mainly sourced sequentially from: secondary particles, whereas traffic pollution and sea-salt related ions account for 11%. Traffic service level of neighboring roads have declined over the years, the traffic boost were mainly caused by increment in buses(capacity of 45 passengers) and passenger cars, showing that recreation activities influenced the service level of neighboring roads. As traffic flow in 2014 had reached the estimated value of target year(2036), it implies that the completion of Su Hua Improvement Engineering will cause regular traffic congestion at certain pre-built road section(original Su Hua road section) between Da Qingshui and Congde. The investigation of visitors in Congde recreation area showed that, average amount of visitors in year 2010 is 1,020 individuals; Year 2011 is 1,057 individuals; Year 2012 grew significantly to 1,619 individuals. The increment in visitors is predicted to be caused by Free and Independent Traveler(FIT) from Mainland China since July of 2014.The investigation on the condition of parking lots and public restrooms in Congde recreation area, showed that the facilities still fulfilled the demand of visitors. As passenger cars and buses had caused the service level of neighboring roads to decline from level D to E, the maximum visitors capacity is 1,900 individuals timed between 8:00am till 18:00pm of the day, which is about 69.4million in annual terms.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the environmental discourse of limits and survival and how it set the apocalyptic horizon of environmentalism. Population biologists and ecologists use the concept of ‘carrying capacity’ — the maximum population of a species that an ecosystem can support in perpetuity. When the population of a species grows to the point where carrying capacity is exceeded, the ecosystem is degraded and the population crashes, recovering only if and when natural processes restore the ecosystem to its previous capacity. One complicating factor when it comes to applying population biology to human societies is the possibility of economic growth. The chapter first considers the origins of survivalism before discussing the political philosophy of survival, discourse analysis of limits and survival, and limits and survival in practice. It also examines the challenges confronting the limits discourse, including the lack of international action on climate change.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how dramatic social change in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) after 1970 ramped up competing moral commitments. It draws on a wealth of longitudinal data about demographic, economic, and cultural rearrangement to show how the area transitioned, in striking fashion, from old west to new west. It makes two arguments: First, that this large-scale social change has important moral causes and consequences, as competing groups erect and protect new moral boundaries in the fight for nature. Second, this new social and moral arrangement fostered protracted environmental conflict. The chapter presents the cast of characters involved in GYE conflicts, and then documents the rise of conflict using a host of original time-series indicators, across a variety of institutional fields (e.g., lawsuits, voting segregation, congressional attention, scientific disputes, public responses, interest group conflict, carrying capacity conflict).

Abstract:
AbstractIndonesia’s water resources governance aims at delivering the basic needs of a growing population whilst being constrained by ecosystems’ carrying capacity. The main causes of regulatory overlaps and prevalent “silo mentality” in water governance are sought by analysing laws, regulations, and policies. Over time, water resources governance has aimed to address food, water, and energy needs through infrastructural approaches, forest and land rehabilitation, and community participation. It is anchored in the river basin territory and watershed concepts. Public decision-making, however, puts anthropogenic considerations at its core rather than hydrological aspects, leading to misfits between institutions and ecosystem functioning. Ineffective legal instruments and policies are essentially due to institutional constraints. A synthesis of the three major water regulations—Government Regulation 37/2012 concerning Watershed Management, Law 17/2019 concerning Water Resources, and Government Regulation 26/2008 concerning National Spatial Plan—reveals little ownership of watershed management with regional/local governments since responsibilities are delegated by the central government to a technical agency; limited focus on green water (social and ecological) governance approaches compared with blue water (hard infrastructural) ones; and weak law enforcement and formulation of strategies for maintaining ecosystem functioning. Our recommendations include an ecoregional water governance with a thoroughly designed performance and target indicators; continuation of development plans built on previous plans and outcomes; continuity in water resources monitoring and evaluation; society-wide participation; and synchronisation of regulatory processes of all administrative levels led by the President in collaboration with Parliament using “carrot and stick” modes.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the spatial carrying capacity of different types of space units. Based on the characteristics of different units, it discusses how resource carrying capacity, environmental carrying capacity, ecological carrying capacity, and infrastructure carrying capacity together affect the spatial carrying capacity and allocation efficiency of space units. Cities need agglomeration of economic and demographic elements to expand the scale of spatial carrying capacity. Basins need to allocate water resources rationally under the condition of limited water resources for the sustainable development of river basin ecosystem. Regions need to explore regional comparative advantages and transformation paths from regional industries. The case studies discuss how the spatial carrying capacity of cities, river basins, and regional transformation adapt to environmental changes and the direction of carrying capacity improvement.

Abstract:
In this comprehensive chapter, we focus on the case study of a typical mountain meadow ecosystem within Wugong Mountain; and provide imperative aspects of protection, development, and restoration of such ecosystems. Firstly, the importance of protecting mountain meadow ecosystems was introduced. Mountain meadow ecosystems are an important component of global life support systems and ecosystems and are crucial to the global ecosystem. Secondly, the various challenges faced by mountain meadow ecosystems, including environmental degradation and disaster risks, were discussed, and special measures were also needed to adapt and mitigate climate change. Subsequently, a review was conducted on the research and protection of mountain meadow ecosystems, including research on vegetation biodiversity and the relationship between mountain soil and plant growth. In addition, the restoration of mountain meadow ecosystems was also discussed, including determining restoration goals, conducting comprehensive investigations of soil and environmental conditions, and determining vegetation planting methods. Finally, we explored the research on environmental carrying capacity in the process of sustainable development, including limiting development and developing sustainable tourism. In summary, we have systematically summarized the protection, development, and restoration of mountain meadow ecosystems, providing reference and inspiration for relevant research.

Abstract:
Educational ecology is a branch of pedagogy that uses ecosystem theory to study the law between education and the external ecological environment. In this paper, We use ecology research methods to evaluate the health and sustainability of the education system. Based on Educational stability, carrying capacity and teaching quality, we build the three-dimensional baseline cube model (called the Tri-E model) for comprehensive measurement. In terms of educational stability, we build educational pyramids according to different academic qualifications and calculate Gini coefficient according to geographical distribution and the Educational Stability Index (ESI) is summarized. For the carrying capacity and quality of education, the weight of each factor is determined by the AHP. The Education Carrying Capacity Index (ECCI) and Education Quality Index (EQI) are calculated according to the relevant indicators of the countries studied. These indicators will determine a vector in the 3D Baseline cube to obtain a measure of the health status of higher education Tri-E Index (TEI). We analyzed some representative countries (UK, India, and China) with TEI of 0.741, 0.521, and 0.665, respectively. Referencing China’s education reform, we put forward the current problems facing the Indian education system and how to reform it. After a quantitative analysis of the actual resistance index, the conclusion is that it is difficult for the reform to be completely successful.

Abstract:
Policy decisions regarding commercial harvesting of aquatic species by (typically governmental) regulatory agencies are often based in part upon field data, simulation results, and mathematical models. Regulatory agencies may limit or expand seasons, determine total harvest allowed, increase or decrease licensure fees, and raise or lower taxation rates in response to the state of the ecological system. Ultimately, the regulatory agency uses such measures to ensure viable populations in an attempt to balance ecosystem health and benefits for society. Such decisions impact commercial fishing ventures affecting the nature of harvesting efforts and their intensity. Conclusions drawn from mathematical models of ecological systems, and derived simulation results which affect this reality are highly dependent upon the validity of information available. Knowledge or estimates of critical parameters such as intrinsic growth rate, carrying capacity, etc. and dynamic variables such as biomass levels dictate the usefulness of analytical and numerical analyses. The purpose of this treatment is to illustrate that control laws applied to mathematical models of species dynamics may be used to discern estimates of parameters that inherently exist in such models in an effort to provide more valuable information upon which to base policy decisions. Dynamic models of both single-species evolution and predator-prey interactions are examined.

Abstract:
Throughout most mankind’s history our daily life artifacts have been designed, produced, and used with respect for social and environmental constrains and within the carrying capacity of ecosystems. Also, they have been created to fulfill tangible and specific needs (not desires) of individuals and communities to their daily tasks and have sustained a thorough process of evolution and adaptation to the cultural and environmental context and, so, have been perfected over time. It has been only with the technological and cultural changes implemented with the industrial revolution that several unbalances have been created in the relation between our material culture and the natural world. It stands to reason that there are lessons to be learned from those previous times, from their habits and, with a design perspective, from their products. This paper presents an analysis of vernacular objects identifying design features related to morphology, functionality, production, material, and use. This text presents as case study a set of vernacular objects from the rural life collection of the Portuguese National Museum of Ethnology. The analysis was made with support of literature, drawing and photography, and adapting some examples from previous studies of vernacular heritage and architecture. These products serve as example of the incorporation of circular product design strategies.
