In this study, a transition framework based on the \"process-effects\" perspective is presented to integrate the dominant and recessive transition of rural residential land (RRL) and analyse the transition characteristics from 2009 to 2021 in the Pinggu District of Beijing, a suburb of the metropolis. 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. The findings provide new perspectives and new ideas for rural land planning practices in the context of rapid transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107387"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142526723","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}

In particular, the link between violent conflicts and households’ land allocation and related agricultural investment decisions remains understudied. 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}

Our empirical results show that the current LUS in China has intensified land use rivalry and conflicts. The geographical distribution, land category composition, and the intensity and manifestation of these conflicts exhibit significant variability across different LUC zones. We identified 14 regional zones, highlighting significant spatiotemporal variations in conflict distribution.

Within this context, BIM/IFC models are considered promising sources for 3D LAS, even though the reuse of such models from practice has not yet been examined adequately. 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.

By fully considering natural and socio-economic factors, the XGBoost-SHAP framework was used to investigate the driving factors of terrace abandonment. The results show that approximately 2.42 % of terraces were abandoned from 2019 to 2021, mainly distributed in the Southwest and Loess Plateau regions. Agricultural regions with more terraces exhibited higher abandonment rates. The ratio of the population with pension insurance, cropland quality, slope, and land parcel size were prime drivers of terrace abandonment. There were significant spatial differences in the contribution of each factor. It is noteworthy that there was a significant deceleration in terrace abandonment trends in 2021, potentially ascribed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to a substantial decrease in non-agricultural employment opportunities, thereby slowing down rural-to-urban emigration and even prompting a return migration of migrant workers.

Results indicate that citizens' socio-demographic factors (especially education, age, and income) and the frequency of visits impact their perception of UPUFs. High positive perceptions of environmental quality and low perceptions of the negative impact of UPUFs promote active participation in governance, especially among young citizens with heightened green space sensitivity, among those dissatisfied with current green space management and those advocating for effective communication campaigns.

Larger cities often suffer from more serious and structural problems in urban sustainability.

To advance the value of the forest transition framework, this paper (1) draws on a review of 126 articles to elucidate the methodological approaches and causal-analytic strategies of three strands of forest transition research; (2) presents a series of methodological heuristics grounded in critical realism to advance more holistic and context-dependent causal analysis; and (3) illustrates the resulting methodological framework with an ongoing research project. The review demonstrates a wide diversity of methodological leanings in forest transition scholarship, ranging from regression on forest cover change and econometric analysis to local mixed-method case studies and historical narrative analyses. Less than half of studies (48 %) engage with pathways as an explanatory approach, while 22 % draw on complementary theoretical approaches. The methodological heuristics proposed reconcile competing epistemologies and carve out a causal role for emergent powers of social practices, recognising the complex and situated expressions of forest transitions while retaining ambitions for boundedly generalisable claims on causal processes.
