Here, relative location refers to the spatial position (geographical context) of a building or property in relation to a given Point Of Interest (POI). Specifically, a methodological approach is proposed for identifying the most suitable quantification modality based on statistical performance and consistency with the market mechanisms of the specific reference context. For a case study in Northern Italy, we collected data on 615 residential properties and 2673 POIs, including cultural facilities, school and education institutions, commercial services, sports, entertainment, and leisure facilities, health and care services, public transport systems, urban parks, and green areas. The relative location between the collected properties and the POIs is assessed using an automated calculation procedure developed in the Python programming language, in conjunction with Geographic Information Software (GIS). This automatism allows the assessment of relative location in terms of different Units Of Measure (UOM), such as straight-line distance, travel time by car, travel time on foot, travel time by public transport, and the number of POIs in a 400 m/1 km ring buffer. Since 615 residential buildings and 2673 POIs were analysed, with their relative locations measured using six different UOMs, a database of 9'865'215 data was produced. Furthermore, for each category of POI, a feature importance analysis guides the selection of the best UOM, i.e., the most statistically significant one. Considering the chosen UOM, an optimised econometric technique is finally implemented to analyse the functional relationships between the market values of residential properties and the set of identified relative location variables.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107405"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573559","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}

Here, we analyzed the evolution of grain structure and cultivated land required for Chinese dietary structure, assessed the level of food self-sufficiency in China based on the comparison of the existing cultivated land and the cultivated land required for food, and predicted China's future food self-sufficiency rate across various scenarios. The results showed that China has achieved \"basic self-sufficiency in grain and absolute security in rations\". The supply structure has evolved from relying solely on rations to a combination of rations and feed grains. The evolution of Chinese diet from 1987 to 2021 has led to the demand for feed grains reaching twice that of rations. The cultivated land needed to support Chinese diet expanded from 99.44Mha to 159.66Mha, surpassing the current cultivated land in China. If current trends continue, China’s cultivated land will not be sufficient to feed Chinese by 2035. Fortunately, we estimated that adjusting the Chinese dietary structure to sustainable diets that are culturally acceptable and affordable could enable China to achieve food self-sufficiency without imports by 2035. Therefore, we argue that China's food security issue primarily stems from an imbalance between supply and demand, driven by a misalignment between production strategies and consumption patterns. Moving forward, we advocate the efforts should be made to address food security issues through protection of cultivated land, proper imports and promotion of sustainable diets, holding the rice bowl of the Chinese people in their own hands firmly, which is a great contribution to the world.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 107401"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142551958","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.

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.
