The results indicate that affordable housing supply significantly influences urban sprawl. The influence path analysis indicates that although affordable housing supply can mitigate urban sprawl by crowding out land allocated for commercial housing, spatial spillover effects associated with its location choices may directly exacerbate urban sprawl. Moreover, in the short term, affordable housing can moderate housing prices through demand substitution and thus mitigate urban sprawl. However, continued urbanization progress may reverse and intensify sprawl in the long run. Further analysis indicates that this effect exhibits significant variation across industrial structures, administrative level and population size. This study concludes that the affordable housing supply should break away from the path dependence of merely pursuing growth in construction indicators, and instead focus on aligning with the characteristics of urbanization stages. It also emphasizes optimizing the spatial layout of affordable housing to achieve the dual goals of housing equity and compact urban development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 103674"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145651876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spatial function integration was mainly characterized by the superposition of production-production spaces, the integration and expansion of living-production spaces, and the orderly evolution of ecological-production spaces. The spatial alienation in Beigang represents an ideological manifestation of unfair distribution of environmental benefits and environmental burden among different groups. It is a material manifestation of the gradual occupation and deprivation of resources, discourse, and rights essential for the survival and development needs of residents after the intervention of tourism.

This provides valuable empirical evidence for global rural transformation theories. Nevertheless, despite a substantial body of research, there is still insufficient identification of the functional qualitative changes that underlie rural transformation at the village scale, which substantially weakens the interpretability of transformation dynamics. Furthermore, previous studies have yet to thoroughly investigate the spatial effects of rural transformation and its underpinning dynamics. To bridge these gaps, this study examines 825 administrative villages in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, utilizing data from 2008, 2016, 2020, and 2023. Using a methodology that combines the Penalty for Bottleneck method and local bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis, we construct a Rural Multifunctionality Index based on production-ecology-living functions, in order to systematically reveal the nonlinear characteristics, spatial effects, and geographically embedded mechanisms of rural transformation. The results demonstrate that the relationship between rural transformation and the multifunctionality index is not a straightforward linear one, but instead displays characteristics of a dynamic spiral ascent. Additionally, geographic conditions significantly influence the pattern of rural transformation: mountain villages, constrained by terrain and resources, face challenges in forming competitive industrial clusters, often leading to pseudo-optimization traps. On the other hand, villages situated in plains benefit from superior geographic conditions, enabling effective industrial chain synergies that drive sustained rural transformation. Lastly, the spatial dependence of rural transformation exhibits pronounced geographical heterogeneity. Villages located in low-altitude and low-slope areas are more likely to form cooperative–promotive spatial patterns that foster joint development within the region, whereas those in high-altitude and complex terrain areas tend to display siphoning–inhibitory patterns that suppress the transformation of neighboring villages. This study not only enriches the understanding of nonlinear dynamics and spatial heterogeneity in rural transformation at the village scale, but also provides new theoretical perspectives and policy implications for China and other Global South countries in addressing the complexities and challenges of rural transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 103704"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145884157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While extensive research has examined both the transportation service network (TSN) and the population mobility network (PMN), the coordination relationship between these two networks remains insufficiently understood, particularly in mega-urban agglomerations (MUAs) characterized by complex urban systems. To fill this knowledge gap, this study constructs the TSN and PMN of the Yangtze River Delta using large-scale flow data and evaluates their coordination from a network deviation perspective. Results show substantial deviations between the two networks in both flow intensity and structural characteristics. The PMN exhibits a more polarized intensity distribution than the TSN, along with a more pronounced polycentric structure and stronger radiation effects. Based on these deviations, intensity coordination and structural coordination are calculated, both exhibiting positive spatial autocorrelation, leading to the identification of four coordination patterns. Only 30.76 % of the cities lack adequate transportation services to meet intercity travel demand, while 61.54 % require structural optimization to improve service equity. To address the challenges associated with different coordination patterns, we propose targeted measures from both the population mobility and transportation service perspectives, including infrastructure development, vehicle scheduling, and mobility guidance.

This study proposes a novel LER assessment method that integrates ecological resilience, revealing multiscale spatial-temporal changes in LER across China from 1990 to 2020. The relative importance, contributions, and threshold effects of drivers on LER at four scales were quantified using random forest models and restricted cubic spline regression. Results show that the proposed method effectively captures LER's spatial-temporal dynamics, highlighting high-risk zones in Northwest China and low-risk zones in Southeast China. From 1990 to 2020, LER in China exhibited an upward trend, with 46.43 % of areas showing significant increases at the grid scale. Our findings highlight pronounced scale dependence in LER assessment, emphasizing significant spatial heterogeneity and the need for selecting appropriate spatial units to ensure accurate evaluation. Precipitation and temperature primarily influence LER trends in Northwest China, whereas human activities are the primary drivers in Southeast China. Importantly, we identify significant non-linear effects of various drivers on LER and determine key thresholds for precipitation (694.62 mm), slope (6.68°), urbanization rate (0.05), and agricultural activity rate (33.19), which we use to delineate priority management areas (PMAs).

Heterogeneity analysis finds that the DIGT of large-scale and non-SOE enterprises promotes CONUPG, and the effect of DIGT on CONUPG is more pronounced in the eastern region. Mechanism analysis demonstrates that on the demand side, DIGT facilitates CONUPG by enhancing payment convenience and alleviating liquidity constraints. On the supply side, total factor productivity and commodity circulation efficiency serve as key transmission channels. Furthermore, the effect of DIGT on CONUPG via wholesale efficiency improvement is more substantial than that through retail efficiency. Besides, product quality significantly amplifies the positive impact of DIGT on CONUPG. Further analysis reveals that DIGT, influenced by digital transformation speed, promotes CONUPG only when it reaches a moderate level.

The transformation and development of the Minhang Development Zone and the implementation of a series of rural conservation practices have contributed to the reterritorialization of social space in Pengdu Village. The transformation of social relations within Pengdu Village reflects the dynamic process of generating its rural social space assemblage, accompanied by coding, decoding and recoding, and driven by the definition of rural external relations, the interaction of heterogeneous elements, and the production of desires, ultimately generating Pengdu Village's social space form.

In contrast, only 27.56 % were considered resilient, maintaining strong adaptive capacity amid high climate risks.
