However, the effects of metro network structure on land use change, especially the long-term dynamic effects, remain uncertain. To address this gap, this research utilizes land use coverage data and metro network data from Wuhan, China, spanning the period from 2014 to 2019. A complex network model is employed to analyze changes in the metro network structure, and the GTWR model is employed to investigate the impact of the of metro network structure on land use change. The results indicate that metro construction effectively stimulates land use change along the routes, predominantly leading to the conversion of non-construction land into construction land. Global accessibility, degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and eigenvector centrality, within the metro network structure attributes demonstrate significant positive effects on land use change, and these effects exhibit considerable spatiotemporal non-stationarity. Additionally, built environment factors surrounding metro stations, such as population density, plot ratio, street intersection density, and the quantity of bus stops, also exhibit notably spatiotemporal effects on land use change. These findings indicate that government agencies and urban planners should concentrate on optimizing the distribution of the urban metro network to improve its overall structural efficiency. When planning the construction of the metro network, careful attention should be paid to the built environment near the stations to effectively facilitate land use development in the vicinity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S222658562400027X/pdfft?md5=027d1724be9e705491fce95d5b563f46&pid=1-s2.0-S222658562400027X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140773620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Guangzhou urban district in China as a case study, we develop a livability-oriented assessment system for the built environment and integrate it into the hedonic price model. We employ spatial regression methods to analyze the impact of the built environment on housing prices, and findings suggest that (1) livability-oriented built environments are characterized by spaciousness, convenience, and diversity.

The objective of our study is to obtain simulated wind field data from different heights, considering distances from roads, and transverse and longitudinal sections. We employ partial correlation analysis, simple correlation analysis, and Geographic detectors to uncover the extent and mechanisms of the influence of BFPs on the ventilation effectiveness of neighborhoods in a major urban center in China, specifically Nanjing. The findings demonstrate that, at all heights, there is an inverse relationship between wind speed and building density (BD), with the location of higher wind speed generally aligning with the intersection points. The correlation coefficients between BD and simulated wind speed are 0.040 (1.5 m), −0.475 (10 m), and −0.314 (30 m), while the correlation coefficients between building height (BH) and simulated wind speed are 0.237. However, no significant correlation is observed between floor area ratio (FAR) and simulated wind speed.

UHI is a function of many interrelated geographical, ecological, and economic parameters that require differential treatment in determining the antecedent impacts. This transdisciplinary review assessed the passive strategies (vegetation, cool roofs, cool pavements, and green roofs) from 83 studies that employed a numerical simulation approach to combat UHI. On average, vegetation and cool/green roofs can reduce ambient temperature by 3–5 °C, while cool pavements help to reduce surface temperature by 5 °C. All passive strategies also reveal it can reduce buildings' energy demand by 4–10%. However, the current methodological framework for evaluating UHI is quite fragmented, using multiple software and estimates only Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI), ignoring Canopy Urban Heat Island (CUHI), Boundary Urban Heat Island (BUHI), and the nexus of ‘UHI-Climatology,’ which is linked to regional and global climate change, failing to model UHI and its complex connection to climate change accurately. The review found that the efficacy of passive strategies is a function of factors ranging from location, cloud cover, and soil type to simulation accuracy; hence, while these passive strategies alleviate outdoor temperature in one place, they can cause counterproductive impacts in another region. Therefore, as a postlude, the paper explores an alternative methodological framework for evaluating the nexus of UHI-Climatology using digital twin technology, thus espousing better mitigation strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2226585624000256/pdfft?md5=d2cf4da8edfbd0ac7f182e7bad4ab5d2&pid=1-s2.0-S2226585624000256-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140399734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
