Nature-based Solutions (NbS) seem to be a particularly promising set of tools that could be mobilized for this purpose. The problem, however, is that application of sustainable practices in NbS on human land-uses does not guarantee capability of these ecosystems to maintain biodiversity. In addition to that, changing climate conditions, if not adequately addressed during the NbS design process, in longer term, may undermine persistence of the ecosystem itself and of species assemblages inhabiting it. Thus, there is a clear need to understand the factors determining capability of NbS on human land-uses to maintain biodiversity and to sustain it under global heating. Although the NbS can take different forms, including forest plantations, sustainable forestry practices, sustainable agriculture and urban green infrastructure, considering the NbS as designed ecosystems can help determining factors relevant to all or most NbS on human land-uses. Thus, the aim of this paper is to explore these factors by synthesising relevant knowledge, investigate interconnections between the factors, and provide recommendations for land use planning. Considering the factors and interconnections between them we propose an innovative overarching approach to NbS design and management on human land-uses.","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789997","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}

As a vital component of agricultural production in China, farmland use is affected by mechanization conditions and the crop cultivation decisions of rural households. With the decreasing economic viability of farmland in China’s mountainous areas, the effects of mechanization conditions and non-grain crop production on farmland abandonment remain controversial. This study developed a theoretical framework and used unique survey data from 2400 rural households in China’s mountainous areas to analyze the relationship between mechanization conditions, non-grain crop production, and farmland abandonment using multiple models, heterogeneity analysis, and factual characteristics analysis. These findings demonstrate that improving mechanization conditions and encouraging non-grain crop production could mitigate farmland abandonment. Non-grain crop production could mitigate abandonment through increasing agricultural labor input, and improving mechanization conditions could inhibit non-grain crop production. Additionally, improving mechanization conditions had a more significant effect on households with higher education level and lower incomes, while encouraging non-grain crop production showed an opposite trend. Both measures had greater effect in the western and low-altitude regions. Therefore, to protect farmland and ensure food security in mountainous areas, it is necessary to continue land consolidation appropriately, actively encourage non-grain crop production, and comprehensively balance the demands of different management objectives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 107421"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746423","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}

Addressing this issue requires more effective land-take decision-making processes, particularly in data-deficient cities where comprehensive land assessment methods are challenging to implement. This study introduces a streamlined land-take decision-making framework designed to promote sustainable land management practices. The framework consists of two key components: the Sustainable Development Index (SDI) for assessing current land-take decisions and the Decision-Making Rubric (DMR) for proposing mitigated solutions. Applied to a pilot case city in India, the framework demonstrated its practical utility by showing that land-take decisions between 2001 and 2021 resulted in a 69 % reduction of natural land cover. If these trends continue, the assessment of the 2031 master plan using SDI indicates that an additional 56 % of the remaining ecosystem-rich areas, which include regions with high biodiversity and ecological value, could be lost by 2031. However, the framework's application could potentially mitigate these impacts, reducing the projected 56 % loss to 14 %, thereby promoting more sustainable and equitable land management practices. The study's aim is to provide decision-makers with a practical tool to improve land identification methods and enhance the sustainability of land-take decisions. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by addressing the gap in practical, easily applicable tools for sustainable land management in data-deficient urban contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 107419"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142746422","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 cultivated land adoption model emerges as an innovative agricultural business paradigm designed to address the challenges of cultivated land abandonment. To scrutinize the intrinsic mechanisms and conditions conducive to effective implementation, this paper constructs an evolutionary game model. It analyzes the synergistic cooperative behaviors and evolutionary stable equilibrium among urban residents, farmers, and the local government within the cultivated land adoption project. The findings reveal the potential for achieving six evolutionary stable equilibrium under specific conditions. Active government regulation, urban residents' adoption, and farmers' cooperation emerge as the ideal scenarios for effective regulation, promoting a substantial reduction in cultivated land abandonment. The government's regulatory conduct assumes a pivotal role in the success of cultivated land adoption project. A government with elevated political efficacy, reduced regulatory costs, significant penalties, and substantial subsidies demonstrates increased motivation and willingness to regulate effectively, thereby fostering cooperation between urban residents and farmers. The equitable distribution of benefits between urban residents and farmers emerges as a critical factor influencing cultivated land adoption initiatives. Urban residents exhibit greater motivation and willingness to participate when afforded increased green preference benefits, local sentiment preference benefits, and additional economic gains through cultivated land adoption. Similarly, farmers are more motivated and willing to cooperate with urban residents when presented with enhanced income opportunities from cultivated land adoption. The findings of this paper contribute to the refinement of land resource management theory and not only synthesize and integrate China's experience with cultivated land adoption but also offer a valuable management model for other countries to address the issue of land abandonment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 107412"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699667","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}

However, understanding the role of urban planning in shaping land development and directing urbanization is still contentious across various socioeconomic and geographical contexts. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of urban spatial transformation in Austin, Texas across three distinct periods: the pre-planning period (1992–2001), the Envision Central Texas (ECT) period (2001–2011), and the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (IACP) period (2011–2019). The findings reveal a marked decline in urban sprawl and the construction of new low-intensity development zones after 2001. Simultaneously, there was a noticeable increase in the percentage of newly transitioned high-intensity developed land. Employing Geographically Weighted Logistic Regression (GWLR) modeling, the study provides a nuanced understanding of how spatially varying planning intentions guided spatial planning practices since the mid-2000s. The results indicate a diminishing influence of traditional factors on urban transformation while the role of planning intentions saw increasing prominence over time. Amongst the different planning intentions, those related to 'development centers' had less impact compared to those tied to protected areas and transport systems. The study establishes that IACP had a profound influence on Austin's urban spatial transformation, primarily due to its more clearly defined and explicit planning intentions compared to ECT. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of urban spatial transformation dynamics, which is vital for future planning initiatives aimed at sustainable urban development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 107415"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, enhancing the structure of land use can concurrently decrease carbon emissions and improve land utilization efficiency. However, the majority of studies have primarily concentrated on static linear planning analysis, overlooking how land use spatial structure affects carbon emissions. There is still relatively limited research on the integrated simulation and optimization of land use, considering both low-carbon objectives and economic benefits. This study focuses on Changsha, simulating land use change and net carbon emissions coupling the SD (system dynamics) model with the FLUS (future land use simulation) model in three different scenarios, namely, Baseline Development (BD), Rapid Economic Development (RED), Coordinated Development (CD). The following are the key findings. Firstly, the integrated model demonstrates precision in predicting land use demands, patterns, and net carbon emissions. Secondly, land use demands in three different scenarios have a similar changing tendency by 2030. Farmland, grassland, and water areas are decreasing, while forestland, unused land, and built-up land are expanding at different rates. The land use patterns in the CD scenario are the most desirable compare to the other scenarios. The growth rate of built-up land has slowed down and is distributed in a compact manner, while the growth of forest land is faster and has a contiguous layout. The overall degree of landscape fragmentation has decreased, and different land types are distributed in a more balanced manner. This has led to a gradual decrease in net carbon emissions after reaching a peak in 2021, with a reduction of 2.43 million tons compared to 2020. According to these findings, the government should adjust land use structure while optimizing the economic development model to minimize carbon emissions, which enables us to provide a planning strategy for land use and sustainable development of China's major cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107418"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142651424","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}
