However, previous studies tend to focus on individual aspects of land use characteristics, overlooking the synergistic effects among multiple dimensions. Moreover, these studies typically presume a linear relationship between land use characteristics and energy usage, while the differing impacts on energy consumption versus efficiency remain unknown. This study develops a multidimensional land use measurement framework, including land use proportion, size, mix, and intensity. Leveraging explainable machine learning models, we analyze data from 285 Chinese cities between 2012 and 2017 to uncover the nonlinear and interactive effects of these characteristics on energy consumption and efficiency. The results show that: 1) there are significant interaction effects of land use on energy usage, exhibiting suppression and reinforcement effects; 2) some land use characteristics exhibit nonlinear effects, while others show linear relationships with energy usage. For example, land use size shows a U-shaped curve with energy consumption, with a negative contribution when the land use size ranges from 141.03 to 474.48 <span><math><mrow><msup><mrow><mi>k</mi><mi>m</mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></math></span>; 3) high-intensity land use can reduce energy consumption but may also compromise energy efficiency.

In recent years, there has been an emerging interest in applying nonlinear approaches to examine the relationship between the built environment and crash occurrence. Extending this line of inquiry, this research examines how diverse dimensions of street network configuration (geometry, hierarchy, topology) and land use (type, intensity, diversity) influence traffic crash density (i.e., crashes per unit area), and investigates how such effects vary by zonal population composition within a nonlinear framework. Using data from Wuhan, China, and gradient boosting decision trees, we find that street topology and land use density are the most influential correlates in explaining the variation in crash density. Nonlinear associations of street network and land use characteristics with crash density are prevalent, with most variation occurring within a specific threshold range. Moreover, the effects of these built environment characteristics vary significantly across zones with differing age and income structures. Zonal elderly population density amplifies the effects of most street network and land use characteristics on crash density. Low-income zones demonstrate a greater sensitivity to changes in certain built environment features, such as street density, residential land ratio, and land use diversity, resulting in more pronounced increases in crash density. Our findings provide a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the links between the built environment and traffic safety, and call for both recognitional and distributive considerations of spatial justice to be incorporated into traffic safety interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48396,"journal":{"name":"Applied Geography","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 103737"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144738441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main findings are: 1) Counties with more significant population shrinkage and higher carbon emission intensity are concentrated in northern and northeastern China, whereas southern counties tend to be less affected on both fronts; 2) Globally, the nonlinear relationship between population shrinkage and carbon emission intensity follows a “V-shaped” pattern, with carbon emission intensity decreasing as shrinkage intensifies from 0 to approximately −0.007, and then rising again when shrinkage exceeds −0.016. Locally, the nature of this nonlinear relationship varies across regions; 3) Population shrinkage interacts nonlinearly with key variables such as government expenditure per capita GDP, land transaction area, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and number of patents per 10000 people to influence carbon emission intensity, with distinct threshold effects observed. For example, carbon emission intensity peaks at moderate levels of government expenditure per capita GDP (0.10–0.15) during mild shrinkage (−0.005–0), but this interaction weakens as shrinkage intensifies. Notably, these interaction patterns vary considerably across regions in both strength and direction.

This study investigates the impact of urban growth on urban greenness and the moderating role of environmental governance, using empirical data from 273 cities in China (2001–2019) and a two-way fixed effects model. Key findings are as follows: (1) An N-shaped relationship exists between urban economic growth and urban greenness, with inflection points at approximately 3500 CNY and 130,000 CNY in per capita GDP. Most cities in 2019 had surpassed the first inflection point but remained in the declining phase.

(2) Environmental governance positively moderates growth–greening relationships. Economic growth enhances greenness when governance intensity (EGOV) exceeds 1.8 (marginal effect: +0.0204, p &lt; 0.01) and land expansion improves greenness at EGOV &gt;0.5 (interaction effect: +0.0003, p &lt; 0.1). (3) Spatial heterogeneity analyses confirm stronger governance effects in western/northeastern regions and large cities.

These spatial and functional patterns help explain how different types of activities are connected and reflected in the physical layout.
