ABSTRACT

Due to the continuous deterioration of the Earth's environment and rapid depletion of resources, we urgently need to implement sustainable development strategies to meet human survival needs and benefit future generations. Sustainable development should focus on both development and coordination. This article will establish a sustainable development assessment and prediction model, aiming to identify sustainable and unsustainable countries in the world. It can identify the most urgent sustainability issues of a country, help it formulate development plans more accurately, allocate resources reasonably, and increase its sustainability. This article will use the Entropy-GE Matrix and Lanchester’s equation to construct a model to evaluate and measure a country's sustainability, and predict sustainability trends. Firstly, a sustainable development indicator system was established to standardize the indicator data. Secondly, the entropy GE matrix is used to construct the Development Index (DI) and Collaboration Index (CI) to measure the final comprehensive performance score. Finally, by establishing the Lanchester’s equation applicable to sustainable development, it can not only effectively describe the mutual influence between different levels (economic, social, environmental) within a country, but also take into account the influence of external factors. Obtain the dynamic process of sustainable development and predict changes in sustainability through the Lanchester’s equation.
