A micro-level indexing model for the assessment of sustainable urban ecosystems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a new comprehensive urban ecosystem sustainability assessment tool called the "Micro-level Urban-ecosystem Sustainability IndeX" (MUSIX), which is an indicator-based indexing model that investigates the factors affecting urban sustainability in a local context.
