Wetlands are valuable urban resources and can provide various ecosystem services for cities. In order to face the continuous urbanization and market economy environment, relevant government-related management, decision-makers, and stakeholders can make objective and comprehensive value judgments and decide the fate of urban wetland resources. Our quantitative approach to the ecosystem services value provided by wetlands produced clear, direct, and persuasive monetization data. The assessment of the net value of ecosystem services (NES) provides one such method. Considering the transition of the Xixi Wetland into the Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou as an example, we first determined the calculation model of its NES. Second, we utilized the equivalent factor, contingent valuation, travel cost, and benefit transfer methods to calculate its value of ecosystem services (VES), service cost, and NES. The results are shown below. In 2016, the VES of Xixi Wetland park was RMB 16.973 billion, NES was RMB 16.938 billion, and service cost was RMB 34.8158 million. The value of cultural services was the main contributor to NES, which accounted for 99.27% of the total. Real estate appreciation, cultural heritage, and recreational value were the main contributors to its cultural service value. Third, through the scenario comparison, we concluded that the NES of the protective development model (the wetland park mode) adopted by Xixi Wetland was RMB 3.186 billion more than that of the protection model. In other words, the protective development model is more practical and sustainable for protecting the Xixi Wetland. Finally, the limitations and shortcomings of the study are summarized.

As urban development enters a stock-based phase, public expectations for compulsory education facilities have evolved from basic availability to higher quality. Issues such as enrollment constraints and long commuting distances require urgent attention. Current studies on the evaluation of public service facility allocation mainly focus on fairness and justice. Few studies have conducted evaluations based on "norms" and "planning" for evaluation and put forward countermeasures and suggestions for special planning. Against the backdrop of the transition from incremental planning to stock planning, this paper uses public compulsory education schools in Hangzhou as a case study, assesses the compliance and actual effectiveness of their configuration in accordance with the standards of norms and planning, probes into the reasons for planning failures, and proposes relevant planning insights. The main conclusions can be drawn as follows. First, most public compulsory education schools fails to meet the standards, creating a supply-demand imbalance and a pronounced school-district housing effect. Second, planning failures stem from a combination of factors, including the non-completion of planned school projects, inadequate supply of high-quality education, traditional planning approaches that prioritize spatial distribution over effectiveness, as well as demographic pressures from migrant inflows and declining birth rates. Third, this study suggests that, under the national spatial planning system, planning content and methods should be optimized and improved, service scope flexibility enhanced, and implementation promoted in coordination with urban renewal based on the departmental responsibilities and powers. This study aims to offer insights for advancing the service quality of compulsory education facilities and promoting the equitable allocation of educational resources in the era of stock.
