This study explores the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) on ALE in China’s counties. Calculate ALE based on <em>a two-stage dynamic network model with shared inputs</em>, and analyze the impact of HSR on ALE in the production stage and benefit transformation stage. Results show that: (1) HSR can promote ALE, and has a higher promoting effect on ALE in the benefit conversion stage. (2) Characteristics of HSR (including <em>HSR speed, commuting frequency, and irreplaceability</em>) as well as the characteristics of HSR stations (including <em>the number of HSR stations, location advantages, and floor area</em>) all show a positive correlation with ALE. (3) In the production stage, HSR reduces ALE by accelerating non-agricultural employment, and promotes ALE by improving agricultural technological innovation; In the benefit transformation stage, HSR promotes ALE by improving the development of rural e-commerce and agricultural product processing industry. (4) HSR has a higher promoting effect on ALE in major grain producing areas, western regions, and poverty-stricken counties. (5) HSR shows inter-regional spillover and intra-regional spillover effects. On the one hand, HSR will drive ALE in counties with a radius less than 20 km; on the other hand, HSR will also drive ALE in neighboring counties within 30 km. This study provides macro implications in transportation infrastructure construction for improving ALE.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107403"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555538","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}

Nevertheless, the impact of how urban-rural resident’ life quality gap (RLQG) affect cultivated land transfer decision-making remains unclear. This study developed a theoretical framework that links urban-rural RLQG and cultivated land transfer and empirically investigated the causal relationships between these variables using a nationally representative dataset from China and employing the Random Forest method. Additionally, the heterogeneity of the impact across different geomorphic regions was also explored. The results indicate that disparities in economic conditions (e.g., cash deposits, durable goods, consumer expenditure, etc.) between urban and rural areas significantly impact cultivated land transfer decision-making, particularly in plain regions. To promote cultivated land transfer, the hilly regions should prioritize the reduction of the employment service gap, while the disparity in education and health levels in the mountain regions plays a leading role. Furthermore, the cultivated land transfer can be facilitated when the urban-rural residents’ life quality equalizes or RLQG widens sufficiently. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of considering the regional socio-economic environment difference caused by geomorphic variations when formulating policies aimed at narrowing the urban-rural RLQG and promoting cultivated land transfer. Furthermore, policy-makers may redirect focus towards alternative indicators for balancing urban-rural RLQG and cultivated land transfers in cases where a particular indicator proves ineffective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107402"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555535","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 semi-natural habitats that dominate its landscape have been developed as a result of centuries-long regimes of traditional grazing and haymaking. Starting in the 1960s, the gradual abandonment of traditional agriculture has threatened high nature value wetlands through secondary succession. Biebrza National Park (Biebrzański Park Narodowy) could not effectively counteract this process, and conservationists hoped that the system of subsidised agri-environmental schemes (AESs) would resume extensive management. Our goal was to find out whether the AES system is functioning as intended, supporting traditional extensive practices in the Biebrza Valley, whose role in proper wetland conservation has been acknowledged. To identify the impact of AESs on wetland management, we traced the implementation of a larger sample of AESs in the Biebrza Valley over the years using data from the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (<em>ARiMR</em>). We interviewed 28 local farmers and analysed whether the key traditional practices were integrated in the current management of 158 wetland plots, and what the variance of integration was among plots with different types of implemented AESs or no AES deployed. We found that AESs were implemented in the majority of the plots analysed, proving to be an important conservation and regulatory tool defining the management of semi-natural wetlands in the area. However, the AES system poorly integrated traditional practices, contributed to the abandonment of extensive grazing, and seemed to accelerate agricultural intensification in the area. The AES system fails to maintain a unique biocultural landscape, and the practices it supports may threaten the wetland ecosystem and its biodiversity in the long term. The system requires urgent revision and adaptation to local socio-ecological farming conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107390"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526724","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}

The results show that during the study period, the RRL in Pinggu District experienced a complex and drastic transition; when the proportion of RRL in construction land decreased, with the spatial layout tending to be decentralized as a whole, and the land use structure tended to be balanced and diversified. However, the comprehensive transition index of RRL is generally low, which indicates an inadequate transition. From the northeastern mountainous areas to the central semimountainous areas and then to the southwestern plains, the RRLT process is characterized by a progressive spatial evolution from single to complex. The overall effect of RRLT increased, with the most significant increase in economic effects, but the transition from rural nonagriculturalization to exogenous expansion also led to a decrease in social and ecological effects in some areas. The process and effects of RRLT are generally in a state of basic coordination, with a low level of synchronized development; process-lagging villages must adapt to the new demands of economic and social development on RRL adjustment at this stage, while effect-lagging villages must give full play to the spatial agglomeration effect of elements of sustainable development of RRL and enhance the effectiveness of land use.

In this study, we use geocoded longitudinal data along with detailed agricultural panel household surveys in Nigeria to assess the impact of violent conflicts on crop choice decisions and related agricultural investments. Specifically, we explore how farmers’ land allocation and agricultural investment decisions relate or respond to the outbreak and intensity of violent conflicts. We find that violent conflicts are associated with a reduction in the share of both land area cultivated and area harvested. We also find suggestive evidence that violent conflicts may shape farmers’ crop choices and related investments, as violent conflicts are associated with reduction in the share of land allocated to long-term crops (e.g., perennial crops, trees, roots and tubers). Overall, our findings suggest that violent conflicts can negatively influence farmers’ agricultural investments directly by affecting both land utilization patterns and portfolio allocation across activities with varying returns to investments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107391"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526720","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}

Evaluating BIM/IFC-models from practice is crucial, since they are created for different purposes, fulfilling various design criteria. This paper investigates the technical challenges encountered when using real-world BIM/IFC-models for apartment rights’ registration in a 3D LAS. It addresses the validation of five Dutch real-world BIM/IFC-models against four technical criteria, namely: existence of IfcSpace; geometric validity; no overlap and georeferencing. The results of the validation show that the collected BIM/IFC-models lack georeference, IfcSpace and a reference to attributes related to the respective legal units in the Dutch 3D LAS. After validation the models are stored in a 3D LAS Database management system (DBMS), in which the legal spaces are enriched with information of the Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities (RRR’s) in line with the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM - ISO 19152:2012). The contents of the 3D LAS DBMS are visualised in a web viewer. Additionally, the design for a webservice is introduced, aiming to automate the process of validation, conversion and visualisation.
