Rapid urbanization and industrialization have led to extensive land use, and many policies have been introduced with the aim of creating clustering effects to mitigate this issue. The Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) of China is a typical case to make up for the fact that the role of policy clusters in built-up land intensity (BLI) is not yet fully recognized. First, the intensive use policy clusters (IUPC) of the YREB have undergone evolutionary characteristics of growth, maturity and renewal since their formal birth in 2008. Second, quantitative evidence from time-series observations and policy simulations demonstrates an effective contribution of IUPC to BLI (an average 43.1% enhancement). Worryingly, however, despite the \"lifting benefit\", the BLI is expected to show a \"decreasing trend\". Finally, the combined results are fed back to the IUPC, showing that both the abundance and heterogeneity of the policy clusters affect the impact. Specific recommendations for future </span>policy development are made based on the above results.

The main difference of this study from previous ones is the evaluation scope is not limited or attached to a particular transport infrastructure project but instead considers a whole city. The impacts of green infrastructure are measured taking account of geographical differences across the city using a multi-level regression modelling approach to identify the implicit value of green infrastructure in residential property prices. The results suggest only those elements of green infrastructure that can provide a direct service to people (e.g., fitness equipment) are positively valued. Importantly from a sustainable transport perspective, the current public transport network and services have a negative impact on property price suggesting public transport might not be meeting property owners’ expectations.

The paper is premised on the fact that informal urban settlements have peculiar characteristics that complicate investigations using conventional methods. However, analytical approaches based on new institutionalism have gradually gained prominence over more traditional approaches amongst scholars in developing countries. New institutionalist methods of juxtaposing investigations of formal and informal institutions and relaxing some of the assumptions of conventional theories have enabled the inclusion of situations involving incomplete or imperfect property rights and positive transaction costs in the analysis. This paper shows that a “new institutionalist perspective” is not one coherent school of thought but rather a diverse group of theories with some common tenets dominated by three varieties of institutionalism, namely, rational choice, historical, and sociological. While a common framework would be ideal, this paper instead advocates for a dynamic research process that can be customised for examinations of property rights in different informal settlements, thus contributing to the literature by extending the application of new institutionalism to situations with “incomplete” property rights.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106906"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50196965","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}

We use FADN data at regional level for the period 1989–2016 and apply a dynamic panel approach (GMM estimator) to estimate the capitalization effect of coupled direct payments (CDPs), decoupled direct payments (DDPs) and rural development measures at EU level. The estimated results suggest that the short-run (long-run) capitalization rate of DDPs into land rents vary between 9.1% and 46.2% (11% and 55%) and DDPs implementation details matter. Compared to the flat-rate models, the heterogeneous DDPs models appear to have capitalization rates lower by between 34% and 37% in the short-run and between 41% and 45% in the long-run. CDPs are associated with capitalization rates of around 6% in the short-run and 7% in the long-run. No clear capitalization effect could be found for rural development measures. In contrast to rental prices, estimates for land values suggest that only DDPs may cause a capitalization rate between 28.8% and 32.1% in the short-run and between 154% and 164% in the long-run. However, estimates for land values are not robust and consistent across estimated models. Using more robust capitalization estimates for rental prices, the results indicate that only 10–12% of the overall EU CAP payments were leaked to non-farming landowners in 2016. However, there is a sizable variation in the non-farming landowners' gains across Member States, ranging from 2% to 37%.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106900"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50165077","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 article investigates capacity gaps to successfully facilitate LMT adoption and/or scaling in the regions of Latin America, Europe, North America, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. We look at LMTs such as agricultural land management, agroforestry, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), biochar, forest management, and peat/wetland management. We used a triangulation method based on literature review, an online survey, and semi-structured interviews with experts from Academia, Industry, NGOs, Local Communities and Government, to capture and analyze the most prominent capacity gaps by LMT and according to regional contexts. This approach identified ‘understanding’, ‘awareness’ and ‘economic/finance’ as the most important capacity gaps when it comes to LMT adoption and scaling across the aforementioned regions. A recommended first step for increased LMT adoption would be to address the knowledge and understanding capacity gaps, which, in turn, could help make LMTs more attractive to stakeholders. Policymakers in cooperation with other stakeholders might reflect on dedicated support policies and regulatory frameworks that level the playing field for LMTs (as compared to mitigation technologies and practices in energy and other sectors). Other good practice examples include market building for LMTs, using emerging carbon markets, designing bottom-up implementation plans in cooperation with local and Indigenous Peoples, increased ecosystems services payments and taking into consideration local and traditional knowledge for successful LMT adoption and scaling.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106888"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50165078","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}

Co-design is also increasingly recognised by government as a useful approach but is often applied with varying degrees of success. The purpose of this paper is to assess recent examples of policy co-design across three UK case studies focused on tree/woodland management and fisheries. The first set out to co-design criteria for ‘low impact’ fishing with fisheries stakeholders to inform new fisheries policy and management strategies. The second co-designed new policy options with tree/woodland stakeholders to replace existing tree health grants, as part of the UK government’s broader Environment Land Management scheme. The third aimed to scope, with stakeholders, the potential for a new social survey of fishers. Despite the different contexts, all projects sought to apply principles of co-design by engaging with stakeholders during the early stages of policy development. A comparative assessment between the three case studies allows us to identify challenges for co-design and to provide recommendations for successfully applying co-design principles through stakeholder-researcher-policy maker partnerships. Challenges include building trust between stakeholders and policymakers, overcoming traditional modes of evidence-based policy making, accessing hard-to-reach groups, getting discussions to move beyond the general to the specific, and recognising that co-design takes time and is resource-intensive. A new co-design framework is presented, setting out five stages for incorporating the principles of co-design in natural resource policy making: scoping, co-design, testing, implementing and evaluation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106901"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50165076","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 first is to consider urban-planning variables to detect consolidated stations; the second is to use both public space and land-use variables to characterise the quality of the urban environment for walking/cycling. These methods are applied in the metropolitan area of Madrid and offer some key insights. The results show that different typologies are found – from consolidated, dense and mixed-use SCAs, with large residential developments, to low-density SCAs in sprawl areas or low consolidated mixed-use SCAs with large parking spaces, following the park-and-ride model, among others. This identification of SCAs’ typologies is key for policy makers to propose different strategies, which could be small projects oriented towards improving public spaces promoting soft mobility, or deeper changes that require a re-densification process in the stations’ surroundings, breaking with the rigid definition of transit-oriented developments and adapting the decisions taken to each context.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 106903"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50165079","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}
