This paper explores the heritage ricescapes of Bali (Indonesia) and Ifugao (Philippines), investigating how these intangible sources, collectively termed the “Is,” contribute to the resilience-building strategies of Indigenous rice farmers through affective relationships. Utilising a mixed-methods approach that combines survey data with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups, the study identifies four critical “Is”: Personal and Family Commitment, Continuity of Rice Farming and Livelihood Security, Adaptation in Practices, and Personal Beliefs and Spirituality. These elements significantly influence resilience within these agricultural communities. The survey analysis, employing Latent Class Analysis, reveals distinct subgroups of farmers based on their varied utilisation of the “Is,” highlighting the diversity in resilience strategies. This classification enhances our understanding of how different farmer subgroups respond to challenges, informing the development of targeted interventions. The findings emphasise that resilience is not solely dependent on tangible resources but is profoundly shaped by social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions and the affective relationships that underpin them. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to investigate the evolution of resilience strategies and consider integrating participatory action research methods to empower farmers and enhance community engagement. This research aims to inform policies and practices that strengthen resilience and sustainability in agricultural contexts, particularly regarding emerging hazards that threaten Indigenous rice cultivation in World Heritage sites.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 107111"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Broadly defined, they are unions of built-up locations near each other among which people travel between places of residence, employment, and consumption. Despite the importance of metropolitan areas, metropolitan Core-Based Statistical Areas and other official U.S. delineations considerably stray from this broad definition. We develop a simple algorithm to better match it, using commuting flows among U.S. census tracts in 2000. Three judgmental parameters govern the threshold strength of commuting ties between locations to include them in the same metropolitan area, the maximum separating distance between locations, and the threshold density of outlying settlement. A parameterization that balances encompassing commuting flows and excluding sparsely settled land delineates 361 Kernel-Based Metropolitan Areas (KBMAs), in aggregate capturing almost all the population and employment of metropolitan CBSAs in a small fraction of their land area. We benchmark KBMAs against two alternative parameterizations, one that prioritizes encompassing commuting flows and one that prioritizes excluding less built-up and less near locations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Economics","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 103781"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144535418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis reveals significant current gentrification potential in districts like Zhongzheng, Wenshan, Xinyi, and Neihu, driven by socio-economic factors. Furthermore, predictive modeling of planned MRT lines indicates that areas such as Neihu and Xizhi are likely to experience increased gentrification due to enhanced accessibility. While acknowledging limitations such as data scale variations, this research demonstrates the utility of machine learning in providing spatially explicit predictions of urban development, offering valuable insights for policymakers to formulate proactive and equitable strategies for transit-oriented development in Taipei metropolitan area.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 106195"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144523918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research was motivated by a puzzle, where a census of 2,506 households across eight Northwest Cambodian villages, found markedly higher life satisfaction in four upland villages, despite dramatically lower incomes and worse human development indicators. We show that this difference is explained by the more recent settlement of these villages, which correlates with much lower levels of inequality (Gini index). Multilevel regression modelling shows that higher levels of income inequality within a village correlates strongly with longer settlement time of villages, and when controlling for major predictors, higher income inequality predicts lower life satisfaction for lower income households (Std Beta for interaction of Gini index * low income: −0.10; 95 % CI: −0.18, −0.03). We interpret these findings as suggesting that longer settlement of villages has consolidated social structures and power, which has increased inequality, which has lowered the life satisfaction of low income households. This carries significant implications for the rural development initiatives that inform the sustainable development goals (SDGs), in which ensuring a ‘good life’ for all, particularly low-income groups, relies heavily on community-based approaches. To successfully support human development and the SDGs, countervailing policies that redress the tendencies of time and space to increase inequality are required to counter differentiated and detrimental impacts on the wellbeing of poorer villagers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 107112"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
