Using data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) from 2012 to 2021, this study employs a Probit model to elucidate the impact of homeownership on youth unemployment. The empirical results indicate a pronounced inhibitory effect of homeownership on voluntary unemployment among youth, but not on involuntary unemployment. Secondly, there are gender differences in the impact of homeownership on youth unemployment, with homeownership having a more significant impact on females. Finally, there are regional differences in the impact of homeownership on youth unemployment, with homeownership having a greater impact on youth in the western region. Based on the above empirical analysis, we recommend strengthening the planning and construction of low-cost, ownership-based secure housing. In addition, it is recommended that specific youth-specific policies be formulated, including down payment support and preferential credit terms, to alleviate the difficulties of youth in purchasing homes. In addition, it is recommended that employment guidance for young people should be strengthened, and that young people should be guided to establish a correct outlook on choosing a job and realize full employment with a positive employment mindset.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 103497"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144595359","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}

This study resolves these through an eXplainable Artificial Intelligence-Geographic Similarity Reasoning (XAI-GSR) model integrating three innovations: a multidimensional indicator system quantifying land-use efficiency across morphology, economic, social, and ecological dimensions; XGBoost-SHAP interpretation elucidating nonlinear factor contributions; and geospatial analogical reasoning overcoming sample scarcity. Applied to Shenzhen, the model achieved 82.9 % accuracy, identifying 9668 underutilized blocks (25.44 % total) with distinct typological distribution - Type 1 (6.99 %) reflecting central district efficiency versus Type 2 dominance (56.17 %) revealing suburban improvement potential, while Type 3 (27.18 %) and Mixed-type (9.67 %) clusters predominantly occupy eastern/northern low-density zones.

In this paper, we analyzed the adaptive capacity of RRL use systems while incorporating the “potential-connectivity-resilience” model based on adaptive cycle theory in the metropolitan suburbs of China. Results showed that, from 2005 to 2020, the potential of RRL use systems decreased slightly, whereas the connectivity and resilience increased significantly. The RRL generally presented a slow and forward adaptive process. More importantly, along with the transitioning process of the agricultural system, the adaptive capacity of the RRL showed a fluctuating increase in rural areas, indicating that RRL use changes gradually adapted to transitioning agricultural systems. Moreover, the obstacle factors of adaptive capacity of RRL experienced a transformation from endogenous push to exogenous pull from traditional to modern agricultural system. Of course, the adaptive cycle of RRL, sometimes, showed a disconnect with the transitioning agricultural systems, especially in the semi-subsistence agricultural system. Therefore, alternative strategies, including integrating natural resource elements, revitalizing the low-density RRL, and promoting the smart growth and high quality of RRL use, should be taken into account by Chinese policy-makers to improve the adaptive capacity of RRL to transitioning agricultural systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 103501"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580092","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}

Despite extensive research on rural e-commerce, its spatial diffusion patterns and multifaced effects on rural development landscape remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by developing a theoretical framework and conducting a case study in Suining County, China, to explore the emergence of rural e-commerce and its impact on reshaping the trajectory of rural development. The findings reveal four key insights: (1) The diffusion of rural e-commerce in Suining County follows a distance-decay pattern, with villages farther from the original Taobao Village (Dongfeng Village) adopting e-commerce later, indicating a neighborhood effect in e-commerce dissemination. (2) Most villages experienced significant development between 2010 and 2020, with the average development index increasing from 0.25 to 0.34. However, inter-village disparities concurrently widened, resulting in significant development gaps between Taobao Villages and non-Taobao Villages by 2020. (3) Rural e-commerce has positive impacts on village development, as evidenced by a coefficient of 0.61 between the duration of Taobao Village certification and the village development index. This influence is primarily achieved through population concentration, employment diversification, business expansion, agricultural modernization, and improved living conditions. However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between e-commerce development and collective income growth. (4) Historical development foundations exert a substantial influence on village development, whereas locational factors (e.g., proximity to town centers, county roads, or farmland abundance) show marginal or insignificant effects when accounting for e-commerce development. This study offers novel insights into the spatial diffusion and multifaceted impacts of rural e-commerce and provides policy implications for fostering inclusive and sustainable rural development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48376,"journal":{"name":"Habitat International","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 103496"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571680","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 social space differentiation in Henapo Village was mainly influenced by villagers, the village committee and the natural environment, resulting in land enrolment, industry enrolment, demand enrolment and resource enrolment. The decisive driving force of the village committee, the fundamental driving force of the natural environment and the endogenous driving force of villagers worked together to promote the significant differentiation of the physical-social environment and social groups in Henapo Village.

Grounded in Cutter's social vulnerability framework, this study develops fine-grained, longitudinal indices of social vulnerability for urban and rural Australia across five census cycles (2001–2021). Spatial inequities, temporal trends, and associations between social vulnerability and 30 built environment indicators were analyzed using interpretable machine learning techniques. Key findings reveal that while the geographic distribution of the most vulnerable areas has remained stable over time, socioeconomic inequities of such areas have diminished whereas spatial clustering intensified. Resilient regions are characterized by enhanced access to public amenities, housing diversity, and commercial density—factors that collectively attenuate vulnerability. Furthermore, upgraded built environments attract socioeconomically advantaged populations, amplifying aggregated resilience. To our knowledge, this represents the first comprehensive, longitudinal, and spatially explicit national assessment of social vulnerability in Australia over two decades. The results elucidate critical trends in vulnerability and their interplay with built environment dynamics, offering actionable insights for place-based hazard mitigation, urban-rural sustainability, and infrastructure resilience.
