The second-hand housing market is important in the real estate industry. In choosing second-hand houses in Taiwan, traditional beliefs in Feng Shui are considered by potential buyers. Thus, we examined 327 cases of available second-hand and currently inhabited houses to analyze the internal Feng Shui layouts. The research findings indicated significant quantitative differences between inhabited second-hand houses and those for sale regarding the internal layouts of Feng Shui. An intermediate degree of correlation with Feng Shui principles was low. When considering quantitative differences and significant correlation in Feng Shui, four thematic principles were found to have a consistent relationship. These included the absence of a front balcony (B), the orientation of the entrance (E), the positioning of the kitchen stove (S), and the residential unit's see-through situations (T). These were correlated with houses that were sold easily in the market. By extracting the initial letters of the primary nouns involved, the "B. E. S. T." were important in the second-hand house market.

    Evaluation of Carrying Capacity of Water Resource in the Heihe River Basin Based on Game Theory and Cloud Model

    by Chuyan Deng, Erwen Xu*, Yun Niu, Shunli Wang, Weijun Zhao and Danyang Zhang
    IJESP 2024, Vol 4, Issue 1, 10-19, https://doi.org/10.35745/ijesp2024v04.01.0002 - Published on March 30, 2024

    Abstract

    To optimize the allocation of water resources and ensure sustainable water resources management, we evaluated the carrying capacity of water resources in the Heihe River Basin. 16 evaluation indicators were selected from the social, economic, ecological, and water resource systems to construct an evaluation system of the carrying capacity. The combination weight and membership degree were determined using the game theory combined with the weighting method and normal cloud model. The water resour...

    Spatial and temporal patterns of temperature and Precipitation changes in the surrounding areas of Hongze Lake from 1951 to 2014

    by Yun Niu, Yueqing Wang*, Gaowei Yan and Chuyan Deng
    IJESP 2024, Vol 4, Issue 1, 20-32, https://doi.org/10.35745/ijesp2024v04.01.0003 - Published on March 30, 2024

    Abstract

    Under global warming, in order to comprehensively explore the change characteristics of the lake's water and heat budget in time and space and its influence on lake-gas interaction, the multi-factor study was carried out. Based on the meteorological data of precipitation and temperature of 16 meteorological stations in the surrounding area of Hongze Lake in recent 64 years (1951-2014), the temperature and precipitation of 16 meteorological stations are analyzed from the characteristics of time a...
