The review analyzed 48 articles based on criteria such as park size, parks' location using the Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification, number of measuring points, the presence of an OTC index, and public survey data, including participant numbers when available. This review categorized urban parks into five fundamental approaches: (1) the heat-mitigating and other climatic effects of urban parks, (2) the cooling effect spreading from parks into the city, (3) the thermal roles of vegetation in urban parks, (4) effect of the spatial configuration near parks on the urban microclimate, and (5) the thermo-psychological perception and behavior of people in urban parks. The results indicated that larger parks had a more significant cooling effect. A 3.4-ha park lowered the temperature by 0.5 °C, extending the cooling effect to 391 m. A 125-ha park reduced the air temperature by 1.6 °C at 130 m and by 0.9 °C at 280 m. A 680-ha park extended the cooling effect up to 1 km, with temperatures ranging from 0.6 °C to 2.8 °C. A common characteristic of these parks is their high tree density and canopy ratio, which appear crucial in fostering cool microclimate conditions. In addition to environmental factors, users' demographic characteristics and personal perceptions significantly influence OTC. This study offers a novel approach for planners and decision-makers, helping them identify critical areas for urban park development and align local ecosystem preservation efforts and urban planning priorities to protect communities from climate risks such as UHI effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 107628"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an attempt to solve this problem, the Swiss farming community is asking the authorities, despite its relative unpopularity, to liberalize control shooting. However, the effectiveness of this control method has never been scientifically proven, and the few studies in ecology or conservation biology that question its efficiency are not considered by the farming community. This raises the question of why the attachment to an uncertain and controversial method is so strong. By bringing out the farming community's dominant representation of the problem of corvid damage and analyzing the stakeholder network dynamics, this article aims to highlight the social logics and multifactorial dimension of choosing a control method. We found that the fight against corvid damage is part of a more general conflict that pits the farming community against the rest of society on issues of ecology and production. Various social, cultural and cognitive logics lead the farming community to remain attached to control shooting, making a cognitive gamble that has no solid scientific basis. To succeed in getting farmers to abandon control shooting, three conditions must be met: the emergence of a replacement innovation, awareness of the negative practical, economic and ethical aspects of control shooting, and improved access to scientific knowledge on the subject in the farming world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 103707"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144184410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses the spatial pattern of pro-government mobilization, focusing on the daily incidence and geographical distribution of pro-war rallies in Russia from February to April 2022. Building on existing research, we conceptualize pro-government mobilization as a strategic decision by autocracies, serving as a signal to citizens and dissidents while incurring costs. We extend this framework to include a spatial dimension, arguing that pro-government mobilization serves as a visual signal on the ground, strategically initiated in locations where governments want to quell unrest. Likewise, due to mobilization costs and the potential risk of backlash, pro-regime rallies are expected to be more prevalent in larger cities and in areas where security forces possess a higher capacity for swift reaction. Leveraging data at the day-municipality level, we identify the locations for mobilizing regime support. Cox models reveal that locations with a history of anti-war protest have a higher risk of subsequently hosting pro-war rallies. This effect is particularly pronounced in smaller locations. Moreover, larger cities and locations with the military stationed nearby exhibit a higher chance for pro-war rallies. These findings offer new insights into a regime’s mobilization strategy as a tool of authoritarian governance during contentious periods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48262,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103336"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144166632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this research is to map and compare the current regulatory landscape for monitoring and restricting real estate ownership in the Northern European context. We root our study into land administration literature and particularly to the Legal Cadastral Domain Model that separates the subject and object of the restriction. We collect data from five case countries, namely Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway, through email interviews and analyse the repertory of tools currently in place. The results show that various land administration tools are used for monitoring and restricting ownership rights, of which most typical example is expropriation. Although the application of monitoring and restricting tools is often justified with other reasons such as protecting agriculture or food production, their use may still support national security means indirectly. Also, while there exist several different tools, most of them are used because of the characteristics of the object of the restriction, not the subject.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"157 ","pages":"Article 107630"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144170572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating UCH into 30 × 30 conservation goals requires a multidisciplinary approach that considers heritage laws, sovereignty, governance, planning, and associated risks. The current study specifically evaluates the potential of Iceland’s UCH sites for marine biodiversity conservation by analyzing heritage laws, public case records, and media reports.

The findings underscore the need for improved site documentation, clearer policy communication, and stronger collaboration between cultural heritage and fisheries management authorities.

By decoupling productive and social functions, this institutional framework has enabled market dynamics and sustained the agro-export model through legal certainty. However, its emphasis on individual rights and market efficiency now faces an unprecedented challenge: the uncertainty in productive conditions, environmental thresholds, and adaptation requirements inherent in climate change. Conceptualizing property as a system that organizes spaces based on power distribution, I employ historical, cartographic, and socio-legal analyses to examine how this tension manifests territorially. The findings reveal the historical consolidation of extreme land concentration, alongside significant loss of agricultural land to real estate markets due to fragmentation. These phenomena involve both small and large landowners, albeit with varying degrees of intensity and participation, demonstrating how the neoliberal property infrastructure enables simultaneous processes that potentially undermine the country's food security and agro-export capacity. I challenge the sustainability of this infrastructure, arguing that its rigid pursuit of certainty—rooted in its individual, absolute, and exclusive nature—impedes the design and implementation of coordination and territorial planning policies crucial for addressing climate and food security challenges.
