The authors analysed the spatial structure of the area under study, resulting in rankings (developed using statistical methods) of the areas which should be included in the land consolidation process in the first place. These rankings were based on selected diagnostic factors, described in detail and selected on the basis of own research and literature patterns. The study area comprises fourteen cadastral districts with a total area of 105.04 km2, consi-sting of a total of 18 245 cadastral plots. The analysis was performed for source data obtained from official databases, including the Land and Property Register of the Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski County Starosty. The study examined the structure of land possession and use as well as selected parameters of the internal plot patchwork. The study also examined the productivity of soils and the size of the external plot patchwork. In addition, land exchange in the Bałtów commune was simulated. On the basis of this study, a ranking was developed showing the hierarchy of the defective spatial structure of the cadastral districts. The results were verified using several known statistical methods, namely the SAW, the unitisation with zero minimum method (MUZ) and the TOPSIS. Using the SAW method in a comparison with the popular zero-unitarisation and TOPSIS methods may be regarded as a new contribution to the subject knowledge.","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825502","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}

Despite extensive research on this intersection, CSA adoption is often treated as a single, aggregate variable, which may obscure nuanced realities and choices that farmers confront. Additionally, empirical evidence linking CSA adoption to FNS remains limited in drought-prone areas, which face unique challenges such as degraded soils. This study addresses these gaps by using cross-sectional data from 909 farmers in Ethiopia to examine the factors influencing CSA adoption and its impact on FNS, while controlling for placement endogeneity. Applying multivariate probit and endogenous switching regression (ESR) models, we account for selection bias and endogenous covariates. Results show that 84 % of sampled households adopt at least one CSA practice, and CSA adopters generally exhibit higher household dietary diversity scores than non-adopters. Specifically, households implementing soil fertility practices consume an average of four additional food groups daily, while those adopting combinations of yield-boosting and soil fertility practices or yield-boosting and soil erosion control practices consume approximately three additional food groups. In a similar trend, households adopting both soil fertility and erosion control practices have a moderately enhanced diet, consuming two more food groups than their counterparts. Notably, increased crop income emerges as the compelling pathway linking CSA adoption with improved FNS outcomes. In light of the challenges posed by degraded soils and recurrent food insecurity in drought-prone areas, this study underscores the need to support CSA adoption through enhanced access to information, training, infrastructure, and credit, fostering more resilient agricultural systems and sustainable land use.","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825501","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}

Consequently, research on urban sprawl has emerged as a crucial focal point in sustainable development efforts, emphasizing the need to understand the evolution characteristics and systemic mechanism of urban sprawl. However, existing research on the urban sprawl mechanism remains somewhat fragmented, lacking a unified research framework and theoretical model. In response, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for urban sprawl mechanics and constructs a unified analysis framework and an integrated urban sprawl force model. Furthermore, empirical analysis is conducted using Nanjing, Wuxi, and Yangzhou as case studies, measuring the integrated urban sprawl force and analyzing their urban sprawl characteristics through comparative assessments of the integrated urban sprawl force trends. The findings reveal distinct trends in the integrated urban sprawl force across Nanjing, Wuxi, and Yangzhou. Nanjing demonstrates a pattern of slow growth, Wuxi exhibits initial growth followed by a decline, and Yangzhou experiences rapid fluctuations in growth. As typical cities in different urban development stages, Nanjing, Wuxi, and Yangzhou exhibit change trends of the integrated urban sprawl force consistent with their urban development stages. The research framework and model of urban sprawl mechanics proposed in this paper offer a novel perspective and methodology for comprehending the current and future levels of urban sprawl. Moreover, this study furnishes valuable insights for relevant authorities in formulating policies to regulate urban sprawl.","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825498","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}

Here we investigate the long-term consequences of contrasting historical types of occupation in Amazonian landscapes (few large vs several small landowners) on forest fragmentation and landscape structure. Using satellite Landsat images series, we identified typologies of deforestation in the Amazon connected to large landowners (i.e., Geometric pattern of deforestation) and small landowners (i.e., Fishbone pattern). Within those images, we selected seven landscapes (50<mml:math altimg=\"si0002.svg\"><mml:mo>×</mml:mo></mml:math>50 km) of each deforestation pattern and tracked the evolution of landscape spatial configuration through landscape metrics (forest fragments number, size, shape, and edge-core relation) from 1985 to 2015. Results showed that the amount of deforestation area was similar across time, irrespective of the deforestation patterns. However, in association with the Fishbone pattern, forest fragmentation resulted in numerous small forest fragments, with more intricate shape and forest patches containing two to three times more forest under edge effects when compared to the Geometric pattern. On the other hand, landscapes with Geometric patterns had larger deforestation patches, exposing the forest and the biodiversity to a less permeable or a low-quality matrix (usually pasture or soybean) and its known negative consequences. As a result, the threats to biodiversity should be different in each kind of landscape, despite both having the same levels of deforestation. The long-term consequences to the landscape structure will remain an untracked problem for forest conservation unless reforestation policies, tailored to the specificities of each typology of deforestation and forest remanent, are considered for the region.","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825543","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}

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.
