Reviewer 2 ·

Basic reporting

The literature review part still needs to be expanded. The introduction and the literature review parts are together and this section isn't enough to support both parts sufficiently. Probably you need to re-design this section to the two detailed sections.

Experimental design

Acceptable.

Validity of the findings

Acceptable.

Major Revisions

I have gone through the reviewers' comments. Please make the suggested 'major revisions' and resubmit the paper. Thanks.

[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review comments are addressed in a rebuttal letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate. It is a common mistake to address reviewer questions in the rebuttal letter but not in the revised manuscript. If a reviewer raised a question then your readers will probably have the same question so you should ensure that the manuscript can stand alone without the rebuttal letter. Directions on how to prepare a rebuttal letter can be found at: https://peerj.com/benefits/academic-rebuttal-letters/ #]

Reviewer 2 ·

Basic reporting

There is no literature review part. Normally, the research gap must be conducted based on the literature review. I highly recommend that the authors add a detailed literature review to the article.

Another critical point is that 80% of the references are local references. For international work, using only 20% of international studies doesn't look professional.

Experimental design

Why didn't you use data between 2020 - 2023? We are in 2024, and this 3-year gap is really considerable.

In the discussion part, it would be great if the authors explain how their local problem can be a good example or case for similar problems worldwide.

Validity of the findings

It would be interesting to compare this study and similar studies based on the literature review in the discussion section.
