Abstract

ACO-PSO algorithm Ecological industrial structure Muti-objective optimization Sichuan province Sustainable development
•An optimization of eco-industrial structure considering economy-society-ecology.•A multi-objective optimization model meeting three dimensional objectives is built.•The hybrid ACO-PSO algorithm is applied to solve the model.•Optimized scenarios realize overall development of economic-social-ecological benefits.•The optimized scenarios with different tendencies promote different benefits. The establishment of ecological economic system has become the key to realize the transformation of China’s economy from high-speed development to high-quality development. This paper considers the multiple goals of economic, social, and ecological benefits to achieve sustainable development. Firstly, it establishes an indicator system affecting economic, social, and ecological benefits to guide the construction of the subsequent model. Secondly, this study constructs a multi-objective optimization model for ecological industrial structure. According to the different emphasis of objectives, a hybrid approach based on ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization (ACO-PSO) is implemented to solve the optimal solution set of feasible schemes. Finally, Sichuan Province is selected as the case study area, and three scenarios including economic oriented scenario, employment protection scenario and environment-friendly scenario are screened and analyzed. The results show that: (1) After reasonable optimization and adjustment of the industrial structure, it realizes the overall development of economic benefits, social benefits, and ecological benefits. The comprehensive benefits of sustainable development have been significantly improved. (2) The optimized scenarios with different tendencies promote different benefits. Decision makers can make better choices based on the diverse needs of the different development stage.
