Methodological innovation in government environmental auditing through biomechanical principles: An approach to environmental impact performance evaluation
Abstract
Biomechanical principles have been widely applied in multiple industries in recent years, providing new perspectives for evaluating and analyzing complex systems. In this research, the feasibility of integrating biomechanical principles into government environmental performance audits to develop a new approach to environmental impact assessment is explored. By analyzing core principles in biomechanics such as mechanical equilibrium, energy conservation, and biological adaptability, it helps to propose a series of evaluation frameworks and indicators based on biomechanical principles to quantify the key factors in environmental performance audits. The research findings indicate that the application of biomechanical principles in government environmental performance audits can not only enhance the accuracy and scientific nature of the assessment but also offer strong support for environmental protection and sustainable development, highlighting the superiority of incorporating biomechanical knowledge into environmental auditing.
