By utilizing a hedonic pricing model, this study may contribute to the global discussion on how property markets react to deterioration in coastal areas, specifically from the perspective of the Global South. Spillover effects in housing prices were observed through a spatial autoregressive model by investigating lags in price adjustment over time and space. The authors employed two large datasets comprising property information, including property tax history (n = 1933,037; 1993–2020) and real estate transactions (n = 1029; 2013–2020). These datasets are also recorded in the cadaster map of the Indonesian government. The property tax history provides crucial evidence regarding delinquent taxes, signifying distressed properties abandoned by their inhabitants. Property sales transaction data offers evidence of lowered prices and their spillover effects. As a result, this paper contends that neighborhood decay induced by coastal flooding represents a non-economic shock that permeates to the property market, leading to price movement. The most important finding is that land subsidence has a more significant influence than distressed properties on lowering prices and their spillover effects. These findings have the potential to initiate new discussions about environmental deterioration from a property market perspective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 107379"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142442878","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}

Today, use and possession of the <em>baldios</em> by the local communities is safeguarded by formal legal rights.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted in all the <em>baldios</em> in the park, and a period of stay in one of the villages allowed an opportunity for deeper analysis.

Hence, reducing these emissions by ending peatland drainage is a significant contribution to a transition towards carbon neutrality and being in line with the Paris Agreement. To achieve this goal, swift action is needed. Using Germany as a case study, we scrutinize whether the German coal phase-out can serve as a ‘blueprint’ to end drainage on agriculturally used peatlands, using six categories (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal). We also calculate a politically justified budget for a peatland drainage phase-out comparable to the coal phase-out in terms of the socially acceptable mitigation of CO₂ emissions. Our results suggest that the current pace of rewetting is too slow in comparison to a rewetting path following the Paris Agreement and would create an area gap of about 560,000 ha and a resulting CO₂ emission gap of 84.6–148 Mt CO₂ by 2029. We show that both, peatland drainage phase-out and coal phase-out, are socio-technical transitions which require governmental intervention and a guided-level perspective. For a governed peatland drainage phase-out in Germany which is 1.5°C compatible, we determine a politically justified total budget between 13.8 and 16 billion €.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 107363"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423666","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}

A practical policy measure to address this concern is providing preferential tax treatments to landowners who lease out their farmland, and the Production Green Land (PGL) Act is a typical example, which was extensively revised by the Japanese government in 2018 to conserve farmlands and allow active farmers to use it effectively amid the overall population decrease. Previous studies have extensively focused on identifying factors to encourage persistent agriculture in the urban growing phase. However, the appropriate combinations of specialization, diversification, attributes, and location of farm businesses in the shrinking suburbs, where leasing farmland has become a practical option for farmers. Moreover, multifunctional value is important for ensuring that agriculture continues as a family business. Studies on the attributes of suburban landowners who keep farmland and provide multifunctional value to the community are also limited. Based on the above understanding of the literature, this study explores the specific farm attributes and locations related to the persistence of suburban agriculture. To this end, this study conducts a two-wave survey of suburban farmers, including smallholders in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The following key findings are observed. First, the continuity of agriculture in the suburbs is significantly related to farmers’ diversification activities in terms of sales channels and provision of services, with specialization within a business type in terms of agricultural operation also being an advantageous factor. Meanwhile, regarding the location, the probability of continuing agriculture is lowest in moderately populated suburbs. Second, landowners engaged in multifunctional agriculture that is linked with the community tend to hold farmland rather than convert it even when they stop or downscale their agricultural activities. Third, regarding the policy implication, the number of exiting and downsizing farmers was larger compared with expanding farmers, in addition to an unbalanced geographical distribution. Based on the findings, the study recommends that multifunctional agriculture through forming relationships with the community should be encouraged, new entrants to agriculture must be promoted, and active farmers who expand farm size need to be supported.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 107370"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423664","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}

However, it is essential to determine what role global trade and agricultural value chains play in regional CSE, especially when imbalanced erosion is embodied in global agricultural trade. In this study, the Revised Universal Soil and Water Loss Equation and the Environment Expanded Multi Region Input-Output Model were used to quantify the global distribution of CSE and the value added in global agricultural value chains to identify trade imbalances. We introduce the Local Environmental Coefficient, the Regional Environmental Coefficient, and the Agricultural Trade Environment Inequality (AEI) index, which were used to analyze the overall and bilateral inequalities in agricultural trade among the world’s regions. The results showed that 34.65 % of the global CSE was embodied in international trade, whereas the ratio of the value added was 30.80 %. The global trade in agricultural products is generally unbalanced, as indicated by the AEI index of developed regions such as Norway and Japan, which is more than 30 times higher than that of regions such as China and Brazil, and more than 20 times higher than the global average. In terms of bilateral trade, China, the United States, and Brazil face more prominent imbalances in their international trade. Major agricultural producers generally bear more environmental costs with less value-added benefits in trade. This study quantifies, for the first time, the implied imbalances of CSE transfer in agricultural trade. Global ecological governance thus requires accountability from all regions, especially in an era of increasing globalization of agricultural trade. Timely adoption of ecological compensation and technology transfer for both large agricultural producers and less-developed regions are key to achieving sustainable global agricultural production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 107378"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423663","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}

Since Finland joined the EU in 1995, the average farm size has more than doubled which has increased the distances on farms. This may have caused trade-offs with resource use efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential and impacts of land reallocation by integrating regional variability, logistical factors, and emerging satellite imagery, with an emphasis on enhancing resilience in future climates. This study estimated the theoretical potential for land reallocation between farms to reduce farmland fragmentation but also applied fixed land exchange rates (5 % to 40 %) with the primary aim to reduce distances within each farm depending on the farm size and region. The aim was also to identify co-benefits and trade-offs on the number of parcels in a farm, the production capacity of exchanged parcels, diversification potential, and the proximity of parcels to waterways. While keeping the farm size constant, large potential was found to optimize fragmented landscapes and reduce distances within farms especially on large farms. However, only a moderate exchange rate of 5 % almost halved the distances in the best cases of the farms, while exchange rates &gt;20 % provided less additional logistic benefits. Thereby, modest, well targeted measures are not only more acceptable to landowners but may provide the most benefits with fewer trade-offs. In unsatisfactory cases, large parcels were replaced by higher numbers of smaller ones, productivity differences occurred, and closer parcels became more uniform, which may reduce diversification options, which are important for resilience and sustainability. Hence, merging and reshaping nearby parcels after reallocation might be needed to complete rationalization. Estimated changes in the proximity of the parcels to waterways tended to improve the farmers’ readiness to implement irrigation as an adaptation measure to climate change. The variable outcome of parcel reallocation emphasizes the central role of the current customer-driven consolidation system chaired by independent land surveyors to boost the land reallocation also in the future to improve logistics, resource efficiency, and sustainability on farms that today struggle with cost-crises.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 107380"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142423227","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}
