Despite the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aiming to ensure urban sustainability, many regions struggle to achieve these targets. In light of this, this study investigated the state of green space ecosystems in Ghana's Guinea Savannah (West Gonja) and clinched the findings to the quest for global sustainability, whether it is against or for the agenda. Methodologically, geospatial and remote sensing techniques were employed to analyse the state of green spaces, revealing a dire situation: few green spaces exist (8.70 % in 2000 to 8.51 % in 2021), and they are rapidly depleting due to rising land surface temperatures (48.93°C in 2000–93.65°C in 2021), leading to intense urban heat islands (12.95 °F in 2000–52.38 °F in 2021). Anchored on this, the researchers concluded from this study’s discussions that the state of green space ecosystems in Ghana’s Guinea Savannah is against the pursuit of a global sustainable development agenda, particularly SDG 15. The researchers, therefore, recommend that countries like Ghana fully adopt the SDG targets, incorporating the services of ecosystems and the values of biodiversity into urban planning and policy-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 107480"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049964","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}

Urban Metabolism (UM) is a fundamental approach that quantifies energy, water, and material flows within urban environments, providing a foundation for policy development. However, UM often overlooks informal flows—unregulated resource processes that play a significant role in many regions, particularly in developing countries, operating outside the oversight of public institutions. This paper addresses two primary objectives. First, it offers a structured characterization and holistic definition of informality, analyzing its diverse forms across water, energy, waste management, food production, and mobility sectors. Second, it introduces an expanded UM framework that integrates informal flows. This approach has the potential to help policymakers with a comprehensive tool to address resource management challenges more inclusively by including these informal systems. Key findings highlight three significant policy implications: integrating informal and formal systems is complex, hence this requires flexible and adaptive regulatory frameworks; the exacerbation of social injustices through informal flows and inequalities—especially concerning access, affordability, and gender disparities—underscoring the need for targeted, equity-focused policies; and the human-centric nature of informal systems, emphasizing the importance of engaging informal actors in policy development and land-use planning. The expanded UM framework fosters the creation of transparent, equitable, and effective policies that, in theory, can bridge the gap between formal and informal systems, enhancing resource governance, social equity, and sustainable urban development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 107472"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143360440","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}

To investigate the factors affecting land-use plan and policy adoption at Curve Lake First Nation, a stylized agent-based model, the First Nation Land Use Voting Model (FNLUVM), was developed in collaboration with Curve Lake First Nation and was empirically informed from a survey of its members (n = 156). A series of experiments were conducted with FN-LUVM to understand the effects of land knowledge, attitudes, and community engagement among both non-land holders and land holders in certificate of possession on adopting a land use plan and policy adoption. Among several findings, results of these experiments suggest 1) that members with shared land-stewardship and ambition for improvements in socio-economic well-being were key proponents for adoption, 2) community engagement with members typically unwilling to collaborate with others can reduce disconnect among members, 3) improving knowledge about land planning and policy among members can lead to more engagement in voting and support for land use plans and policies. While the collaborative development of FNLUVM was specific to Curve Lake First Nation, it is made available for other communities to customize and use as a medium for discussion or decision-making support tool.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"151 ","pages":"Article 107463"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049642","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}

In both Kenya and Uganda, further analysis reveals that the incidence of land inheritance conflict is at least 1.1 percentage points higher in communities that are prone to negative rainfall shocks compared to those that have not experienced such shocks. Although both countries show significantly lower levels of land conflicts on registered (titled) parcels, land registration does not seem to reduce the incidence of land conflicts in communities that are prone to negative rainfall shocks.

Through a systematic literature review, this article aims to examine the extent to which NBS are discussed in academic literature regarding the GS. The results show that NBS in the GS are mobilised especially to address two cross-cutting issues: rapid urbanization and informal settlements, and the impacts of climate change. NBS actions are explored both to incorporate nature into the urban environment and to \"re-naturalise\" existing urban areas. Water-related NBS types are the most numerous, and some research gaps highlighted are the need to further explore NBS for food safety and the lack of sufficient emphasis on reducing the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI), emphasising the importance of considering the social and economic context for the inclusion of NBS in the urban policy agenda. In terms of challenges related to the implementation and the mainstreaming of NBS adoption in urban agendas, the research highlights the problems of awareness, information accessibility, and financial sustainability. Finally, the review also raises the question of the involvement of external actors, while stressing the need to balance this involvement to avoid undermining local institutional capacity and public sector participation in the planning and implementation of NBS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 107439"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990221","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}

Rural Human-Earth System (RHES) offers a comprehensive framework to better understand this changing relationship in rural areas. Exploring the differentiation and evolution of RHES, especially via systematic methodology, is crucial for category-based and region-specific practice of China’s rural revitalization strategies. Taking Lingbao, a representative region in the midstream of the Yellow River Basin, this study employed multi-source geographical data to identify the differentiation of RHES at the finer scale. Additionally, this research developed a random forest model to simulate the evolution and transformation of Lingbao’s RHES from 2000 to 2020. The results showed that Lingbao’s RHES could be classified into four subsystems–ecological (ECS), agricultural (AGS), rural-town (RTS), and urban-town (UTS)–exhibiting significant spatial heterogeneity. During the study period, the proportions of the ECS, RTS, and UTS increased by 2.98 %, 2.92 %, and 0.46 % respectively, whereas that of the AGS decreased by 6.36 %. Moreover, the proportion of AGS transforming to RTS increased consistently and became the dominant trajectory in 2010, surpassing the traditional AGS-to-ECS conversion pattern. The AGS served as a critical spatial carrier for RHES transformation, owing to its malleability and vulnerability. The evolution of these subsystems follows an “imbalance-coordination” cycle, driven by spatial optimization and self-organization processes. These findings help to design more targeted land use planning and to provide crucial insights for implementing differentiated rural revitalization strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 107475"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097214","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}
