This question is related to human’s sustainable development in biosphere. This article analyses the commonweal values of wetlands and establishes an index system by Analytical Hierarchy Process, then assigns quantitatively the system through calculating matrix eigenvalue and characteristic vector, at last, sets up an integral way of commonweal value assessment .This paper takes Zhalong Wetland and Xianghai Wetland as study cases , the assessment results show that the both wetlands belong to the first grade importance protective wetland, which validates the method’s practicability , scientific nature and rationality.展开更多

The more equal income distribution is, the higher the aggregate social utility will be. Hence, the ability to meet basic commonweal needs and rights is a symbol of a country＇s commonweal achievements and improvements. Commonweal goods are provided through businesses, nonprofit organizations and government institutions. The coexistence of these three types of organizations emphasize their respective strengths and overcome their weaknesses. No matter which organization provides any given commonweal good, there is no free lunch. It is an important question of choice as to under what conditions should public needs be replaced by government decisions （choices） and what are the consequent costs. After a country has built a basic material foundation to ensure public welfare, the satisfaction of commonweal needs will increasingly take on cultural elements. Hence, commonweal values are evolving. Supply and demand of commonweal goods and the material cost for commonweal satisfaction （happiness） are subject to substantial changes. Great commonweal achievements and improvements cannot only be ＂good deeds＂ that are of immediate benefit to the people. They should include the establishment of sound economic mechanisms supported by the people and that can deliver commonweal improvements on a sustained and extensive basis, as well as compatible social and political systems.展开更多
