This study explores the complex interaction between land use policies and digital infrastructure in rural contexts, focusing on the Czech Republic. By examining data from 2014 to 2020, spanning economic and social, technological and agricultural dimensions, we explore the interrelationship between agricultural land abandonment policies and internet connectivity. Through spatial analysis and statistical modelling, we uncover the complex dynamics that shape rural landscapes, revealing a nuanced relationship between land use decisions and digitalisation. Our findings show that the preservation of agricultural land can act as a catalyst for access to digital resources, while policies that encourage abandonment can hinder technological progress. This research contributes to a better understanding of rural development dynamics and highlights the importance of comprehensive methods to land use policy formulation in the digital age. Our study calls for greater attention to the economic, social and environmental impacts of land use decisions, and urges policy makers to consider the implications for access to digital resources and sustainable development. Despite similarities in pre-treatment quality of life indicators, the treated group, which initially had better internet access, experienced a decline in connectivity after minor treatment. Taking control on potential biases such as pre-selection and endogeneity, our study highlights the need for future research to investigate different intensities of land abandonment policies and the wider impacts of internet access on rural economies and communities, particularly in heterogeneous rural regions.

本研究以捷克共和国为研究对象，探讨了农村土地利用政策与数字基础设施之间复杂的相互作用。本文通过分析2014 - 2020年的数据，从经济社会、技术和农业等多个维度，探讨了农地撂撂制政策与互联网连接之间的相互关系。通过空间分析和统计建模，我们揭示了塑造乡村景观的复杂动态，揭示了土地利用决策与数字化之间的微妙关系。我们的研究结果表明，保护农业用地可以成为获得数字资源的催化剂，而鼓励放弃的政策可能会阻碍技术进步。这项研究有助于更好地理解农村发展动态，并强调了在数字时代制定土地利用政策的综合方法的重要性。我们的研究呼吁更多地关注土地利用决策对经济、社会和环境的影响，并敦促政策制定者考虑获取数字资源和可持续发展的影响。尽管治疗前的生活质量指标有相似之处，但最初拥有更好互联网接入的治疗组在接受轻微治疗后，连通性有所下降。通过控制潜在的偏差，如预选和内质性，我们的研究强调了未来研究的必要性，以调查不同强度的土地放弃政策以及互联网接入对农村经济和社区的更广泛影响，特别是在异质农村地区。

Farmland abandonment and its natural afforestation occur in many countries, although net cropland expansion continues globally. Some strategies focus on recultivating abandoned farmland, while others focus on alternative land uses, including silviculture, carbon sequestration, and rewilding. Russia holds the world’s largest areas of abandoned farmland overgrown with forests. However, these forests are informal and unregulated since no legal land category allows landowners to engage in forestry. Environmental NGOs and forest experts advocate for silviculture on abandoned farmland as an alternative to ‘wood mining’ in primary wild forests. In contrast, pro-agrarian policymakers and state actors resist this idea by discussing recultivation, national food security, and state land control. The future management of Russia’s abandoned farmland has potential global environmental and economic impacts, yet it remains understudied. This study aims to understand (1) what future options for forest management on abandoned farmland are plausible in Russia, how they compare to those in other countries, and (2) how experts justify the preferability and likelihood of these future options. The study is based on the Delphi approach: two rounds of anonymous expert evaluation with controlled feedback. We identified seven future management alternatives: business as usual, agricultural recultivation, carbon forest management, and four forest management options. The most preferable options include private forestry: small-scale forestry managed by private landowners and large-scale industrial forestry managed by companies. The least preferable option is the most probable: business as usual – informal and unregulated forests on unused, abandoned farmland. No option was assessed as highly preferable and highly probable. Using the Russian example, we conclude that abandoned farmland use policies may consider forestry a future management option. However, opening abandoned farmlands to forestry may encounter legal and institutional barriers and cause controversy.

尽管全球耕地净扩张仍在继续，但许多国家都发生了撂荒及其自然造林的现象。一些战略侧重于重新开垦被遗弃的农田，而另一些战略则侧重于替代土地用途，包括造林、碳封存和野生化。俄罗斯拥有世界上面积最大的被森林覆盖的废弃农田。然而，这些森林是非正式和不受管制的，因为没有合法的土地类别允许土地所有者从事林业。环保非政府组织和森林专家提倡在废弃农田上进行造林，以替代在原始野生森林中“采伐木材”。相比之下，支持农业的政策制定者和国家行为者通过讨论复垦、国家粮食安全和国家土地控制来抵制这一想法。俄罗斯废弃农田的未来管理可能对全球环境和经济产生潜在影响，但仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在了解(1)在俄罗斯，废弃农田的森林管理的未来选择是合理的，与其他国家的选择相比如何，以及(2)专家如何证明这些未来选择的优选性和可能性。该研究是基于德尔菲法：两轮匿名专家评价与控制反馈。我们确定了7种未来的管理方案：照常经营、农业复垦、碳林管理和4种森林管理方案。最可取的选择包括私营林业：由私人土地所有者管理的小规模林业和由公司管理的大规模工业林业。最不可取的选择是最有可能的：一切照旧——在未使用的、废弃的农田上种植非正式的、不受管制的森林。没有一种选择被评估为高度可取和高度可能的。以俄罗斯为例，我们得出结论，废弃农田利用政策可能会考虑将林业作为未来的管理选择。然而，将废弃农田转为林业可能会遇到法律和制度上的障碍，并引起争议。

This paper introduces a blockchain-based framework designed to enhance the land management system in Bangladesh by addressing issues such as data fragmentation, corruption, and inefficiencies in land registration and titling. The proposed system integrates blockchain technology with smart contracts, IoT capabilities, and AI across five distinct layers: blockchain layer, stakeholder access layer, AI layer, IoT layer, and integration layer. These layers automate processes such as land sales, ownership verification, and real-time monitoring, reducing manual intervention and minimizing opportunities for fraudulent activities. The study combines a detailed review of existing challenges and technological solutions with an assessment of the system’s performance based on metrics like transaction speed, resource consumption, and cost efficiency. Findings indicate that the framework enhances transparency, reduces corruption, and improves efficiency in land management, aligning with international best practices. Additionally, the discussion highlights the importance of integrating off-chain solutions to manage transaction costs and emphasizes the need for legal and regulatory adaptation for the successful implementation of blockchain technology. A phased implementation strategy begins with local community engagement and scales to broader oversight, aiming for a sustainable and effective approach to land governance.

本文介绍了一个基于区块链的框架，旨在通过解决数据碎片化、腐败和土地登记和所有权效率低下等问题来加强孟加拉国的土地管理系统。该系统将区块链技术与智能合约、物联网功能和AI集成在五个不同的层：区块链层、利益相关者访问层、AI层、物联网层和集成层。这些层自动化了土地销售、所有权验证和实时监控等过程，减少了人工干预，并最大限度地减少了欺诈活动的机会。该研究结合了对现有挑战和技术解决方案的详细回顾，以及基于交易速度、资源消耗和成本效率等指标对系统性能的评估。研究结果表明，该框架提高了透明度，减少了腐败，提高了土地管理的效率，与国际最佳做法保持一致。此外，讨论强调了整合链下解决方案以管理交易成本的重要性，并强调了为成功实施区块链技术需要适应法律和监管。分阶段实施战略从地方社区参与开始，逐步扩大到更广泛的监督，旨在采取可持续和有效的土地治理方法。

Multifunction values and optimizations of land use are greatly responsible for improving the comprehensive development abilities of rural area. However, current studies less quantitatively clarified their causal relationships. To bridge the gap, this study firstly took a typical region in the Northeast China, Qiqihar city, as a case study area in view of the importance of the synergy promotion between black soil land optimal use and rural development in China. Land use function values were secondly introduced into rural land use optimization simulations with the help of the models of Markov-chain and multi-objective planning, and proposed four potential 2035 rural development scenarios, i.e., maintaining current development (S1-MCD), low-speed development (S2-LSD), middle-speed development (S3-MSD), and high-speed development (S4-HSD). A model of coupled machine learning and cellular automaton was finally used to simulate explicitly spatial land use structures. Results showed the comprehensive benefits of 2035 rural land use size was lowest in S1-CMD scenario, followed by S2-LSD scenario and S3-MSD scenario, while S4-HSD scenario boasted the highest value. In comparison to S1-CMD and S2-LSD scenario, S3-MSD and S4-HSD scenarios could be suitable modes for future Qiqihar rural area due to higher function values. Croplands, ecological lands (including forests, grasslands, and water bodies), unused land and built-up land were 69.17 %, 16.86 %, 8.88 %, 5.10 % of the total study area for S3-MSD scenario, and 69.17 %, 16.84 %, 8.20 %, 5.79 % for S4-HSD scenario, respectively. They both highlighted to optimize land use structures, e.g., reducing and redistributing current croplands, and increasing ecological lands. The S3-MSD scenario particularly underlined increasing forests to improve the ecosystem service function value in space. This study suggests that arousing land multifunction values could be a key channel for the coordinated advancements between rural revitalization and black soil land conservation in the Northeast China.

This publication presents the scope of analyses and the results of the study on de-mand for land consolidation works in a hitherto unexplored area of Poland, located in the cadastral districts of the Bałtów commune. The authors analysed the spatial structure of the area under study, resulting in rankings (developed using statistical methods) of the areas which should be included in the land consolidation process in the first place. These rankings were based on selected diagnostic factors, described in detail and selected on the basis of own research and literature patterns. The study area comprises fourteen cadastral districts with a total area of 105.04 km2, consi-sting of a total of 18 245 cadastral plots. The analysis was performed for source data obtained from official databases, including the Land and Property Register of the Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski County Starosty. The study examined the structure of land possession and use as well as selected parameters of the internal plot patchwork. The study also examined the productivity of soils and the size of the external plot patchwork. In addition, land exchange in the Bałtów commune was simulated. On the basis of this study, a ranking was developed showing the hierarchy of the defective spatial structure of the cadastral districts. The results were verified using several known statistical methods, namely the SAW, the unitisation with zero minimum method (MUZ) and the TOPSIS. Using the SAW method in a comparison with the popular zero-unitarisation and TOPSIS methods may be regarded as a new contribution to the subject knowledge.

本出版物介绍了在波兰一个迄今为止尚未开发的地区（位于巴乌图夫公社的地籍区）进行的土地整理工程去需求化研究的分析范围和结果。作者分析了所研究地区的空间结构，得出了应首先纳入土地整理进程的地区排名（使用统计方法得出）。这些排序以选定的诊断因素为基础，并根据自己的研究和文献模式进行了详细描述和选择。研究区域包括 14 个地籍区，总面积为 105.04 平方公里，共有 18 245 块地籍地。分析的源数据来自官方数据库，其中包括斯塔罗斯蒂县（Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski）的土地和财产登记册。研究考察了土地占有和使用结构，以及内部地块拼凑的选定参数。研究还考察了土壤生产力和外部地块拼合的规模。此外，还模拟了巴乌图夫公社的土地交换。在这项研究的基础上，制定了一个显示地籍区空间结构缺陷等级的排名。使用几种已知的统计方法，即 SAW、零最小值单位法 (MUZ) 和 TOPSIS，对结果进行了验证。将 SAW 方法与流行的零最小化单位法和 TOPSIS 方法进行比较，可视为对相关知识的新贡献。

Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) is a strategic approach that can mitigate the impacts of climate change on food and nutrition security (FNS). Despite extensive research on this intersection, CSA adoption is often treated as a single, aggregate variable, which may obscure nuanced realities and choices that farmers confront. Additionally, empirical evidence linking CSA adoption to FNS remains limited in drought-prone areas, which face unique challenges such as degraded soils. This study addresses these gaps by using cross-sectional data from 909 farmers in Ethiopia to examine the factors influencing CSA adoption and its impact on FNS, while controlling for placement endogeneity. Applying multivariate probit and endogenous switching regression (ESR) models, we account for selection bias and endogenous covariates. Results show that 84 % of sampled households adopt at least one CSA practice, and CSA adopters generally exhibit higher household dietary diversity scores than non-adopters. Specifically, households implementing soil fertility practices consume an average of four additional food groups daily, while those adopting combinations of yield-boosting and soil fertility practices or yield-boosting and soil erosion control practices consume approximately three additional food groups. In a similar trend, households adopting both soil fertility and erosion control practices have a moderately enhanced diet, consuming two more food groups than their counterparts. Notably, increased crop income emerges as the compelling pathway linking CSA adoption with improved FNS outcomes. In light of the challenges posed by degraded soils and recurrent food insecurity in drought-prone areas, this study underscores the need to support CSA adoption through enhanced access to information, training, infrastructure, and credit, fostering more resilient agricultural systems and sustainable land use.

气候智能型农业（CSA）是一种战略方法，可以减轻气候变化对粮食和营养安全（FNS）的影响。尽管对这一交叉问题进行了广泛研究，但 CSA 的采用往往被视为一个单一、综合的变量，这可能会掩盖农民所面临的细微现实和选择。此外，在面临退化土壤等独特挑战的干旱多发地区，将采用 CSA 与 FNS 联系起来的经验证据仍然有限。本研究利用来自埃塞俄比亚 909 位农民的横截面数据，研究了采用 CSA 的影响因素及其对 FNS 的影响，同时控制了安置的内生性，从而弥补了这些不足。我们采用多变量 probit 和内生转换回归 (ESR) 模型，考虑了选择偏差和内生协变量。结果显示，84% 的抽样家庭采用了至少一种 CSA 方法，采用 CSA 方法的家庭的膳食多样性得分普遍高于未采用 CSA 方法的家庭。具体而言，采用土壤肥力措施的家庭平均每天多摄入四类食物，而采用增产和土壤肥力措施组合或增产和土壤侵蚀控制措施的家庭则多摄入约三类食物。与此趋势类似，同时采用土壤肥力和水土流失控制两种方法的家庭的饮食也得到了适度改善，比其他家庭多摄入两类食物。值得注意的是，作物收入的增加是将采用 CSA 与改善 FNS 结果联系起来的重要途径。鉴于土壤退化和干旱多发地区经常出现的粮食不安全所带来的挑战，本研究强调有必要通过加强信息、培训、基础设施和信贷的获取来支持 CSA 的采用，从而促进更具弹性的农业系统和土地的可持续利用。

In light of the challenges posed by degraded soils and recurrent food insecurity in drought-prone areas, this study underscores the need to support CSA adoption through enhanced access to information, training, infrastructure, and credit, fostering more resilient agricultural systems and sustainable land use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 107437"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825501","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}

With the progress of urbanization, environmental challenges stemming from rapid urban sprawl have become pervasive. Consequently, research on urban sprawl has emerged as a crucial focal point in sustainable development efforts, emphasizing the need to understand the evolution characteristics and systemic mechanism of urban sprawl. However, existing research on the urban sprawl mechanism remains somewhat fragmented, lacking a unified research framework and theoretical model. In response, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for urban sprawl mechanics and constructs a unified analysis framework and an integrated urban sprawl force model. Furthermore, empirical analysis is conducted using Nanjing, Wuxi, and Yangzhou as case studies, measuring the integrated urban sprawl force and analyzing their urban sprawl characteristics through comparative assessments of the integrated urban sprawl force trends. The findings reveal distinct trends in the integrated urban sprawl force across Nanjing, Wuxi, and Yangzhou. Nanjing demonstrates a pattern of slow growth, Wuxi exhibits initial growth followed by a decline, and Yangzhou experiences rapid fluctuations in growth. As typical cities in different urban development stages, Nanjing, Wuxi, and Yangzhou exhibit change trends of the integrated urban sprawl force consistent with their urban development stages. The research framework and model of urban sprawl mechanics proposed in this paper offer a novel perspective and methodology for comprehending the current and future levels of urban sprawl. Moreover, this study furnishes valuable insights for relevant authorities in formulating policies to regulate urban sprawl.

随着城市化进程的推进，城市快速扩张带来的环境挑战已变得无处不在。因此，对城市无序扩张的研究已成为可持续发展工作中的一个重要焦点，强调需要了解城市无序扩张的演变特征和系统机制。然而，现有关于城市无计划扩展机制的研究仍略显零散，缺乏统一的研究框架和理论模型。为此，本文提出了城市无计划扩展机理的理论框架，并构建了统一的分析框架和综合的城市无计划扩展力模型。此外，本文还以南京、无锡和扬州为案例进行了实证分析，通过对城市蔓延综合作用力趋势的比较评估，测度城市蔓延综合作用力并分析其城市蔓延特征。研究结果表明，南京、无锡和扬州三地的城市综合扩张力趋势截然不同。南京呈现出缓慢增长的模式，无锡呈现出先增长后下降的模式，而扬州则经历了快速增长的波动。作为处于不同城市发展阶段的典型城市，南京、无锡和扬州的城市综合扩张力变化趋势与其城市发展阶段相一致。本文提出的城市扩张力学研究框架和模型，为理解城市扩张的现状和未来水平提供了新的视角和方法。此外，本研究还为相关部门制定调控城市无序扩张的政策提供了有价值的启示。

Land occupation policies can have unintended consequences to the landscape structure, with pervasive effects on biodiversity. Here we investigate the long-term consequences of contrasting historical types of occupation in Amazonian landscapes (few large vs several small landowners) on forest fragmentation and landscape structure. Using satellite Landsat images series, we identified typologies of deforestation in the Amazon connected to large landowners (i.e., Geometric pattern of deforestation) and small landowners (i.e., Fishbone pattern). Within those images, we selected seven landscapes (50

\times

50 km) of each deforestation pattern and tracked the evolution of landscape spatial configuration through landscape metrics (forest fragments number, size, shape, and edge-core relation) from 1985 to 2015. Results showed that the amount of deforestation area was similar across time, irrespective of the deforestation patterns. However, in association with the Fishbone pattern, forest fragmentation resulted in numerous small forest fragments, with more intricate shape and forest patches containing two to three times more forest under edge effects when compared to the Geometric pattern. On the other hand, landscapes with Geometric patterns had larger deforestation patches, exposing the forest and the biodiversity to a less permeable or a low-quality matrix (usually pasture or soybean) and its known negative consequences. As a result, the threats to biodiversity should be different in each kind of landscape, despite both having the same levels of deforestation. The long-term consequences to the landscape structure will remain an untracked problem for forest conservation unless reforestation policies, tailored to the specificities of each typology of deforestation and forest remanent, are considered for the region.

土地占用政策可能对景观结构产生意想不到的后果，对生物多样性产生普遍影响。在这里，我们研究了亚马逊景观中不同历史占领类型（少数大地主vs少数小地主）对森林破碎化和景观结构的长期影响。利用卫星Landsat图像系列，我们确定了亚马逊地区与大土地所有者（即森林砍伐的几何模式）和小土地所有者（即鱼骨模式）相关的森林砍伐类型。在这些图像中，我们选择了7个不同毁林模式的景观（50×50 km），并通过景观指标（森林碎片数量、大小、形状和边核关系）跟踪了1985 - 2015年景观空间配置的演变。结果表明，与森林砍伐模式无关，不同时期的森林砍伐面积相似。然而，与鱼骨格局相关的森林破碎化导致了许多小森林碎片，这些小森林碎片的形状更复杂，边缘效应下的森林斑块的森林面积是几何格局的两到三倍。另一方面，具有几何图案的景观有较大的森林砍伐斑块，使森林和生物多样性暴露于渗透性较差或质量较低的基质（通常是牧场或大豆）及其已知的负面后果。因此，尽管两种景观的森林砍伐程度相同，但对生物多样性的威胁应该是不同的。对景观结构的长期影响将仍然是森林保护的一个无法追踪的问题，除非为该区域考虑适合于每一种森林砍伐类型和森林残余的具体情况的重新造林政策。

Envisaging nature-based solutions as designed ecosystems in the changing world 将基于自然的解决方案设想为在不断变化的世界中设计的生态系统

The tide of global biodiversity decline is unlikely to be turned without conservation efforts on human land-uses. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) seem to be a particularly promising set of tools that could be mobilized for this purpose. The problem, however, is that application of sustainable practices in NbS on human land-uses does not guarantee capability of these ecosystems to maintain biodiversity. In addition to that, changing climate conditions, if not adequately addressed during the NbS design process, in longer term, may undermine persistence of the ecosystem itself and of species assemblages inhabiting it. Thus, there is a clear need to understand the factors determining capability of NbS on human land-uses to maintain biodiversity and to sustain it under global heating. Although the NbS can take different forms, including forest plantations, sustainable forestry practices, sustainable agriculture and urban green infrastructure, considering the NbS as designed ecosystems can help determining factors relevant to all or most NbS on human land-uses. Thus, the aim of this paper is to explore these factors by synthesising relevant knowledge, investigate interconnections between the factors, and provide recommendations for land use planning. Considering the factors and interconnections between them we propose an innovative overarching approach to NbS design and management on human land-uses.

如果没有对人类土地利用的保护努力，全球生物多样性下降的趋势不太可能扭转。基于自然的解决方案（NbS）似乎是一套特别有前途的工具，可以为此目的而动员起来。然而，问题在于国家统计局在人类土地利用方面的可持续做法并不能保证这些生态系统维持生物多样性的能力。除此之外，气候条件的变化，如果在NbS的设计过程中没有得到充分的解决，从长远来看，可能会破坏生态系统本身和居住在其中的物种组合的持久性。因此，我们显然需要了解在全球变暖的情况下，决定NbS对人类土地利用维持生物多样性能力的因素。虽然国家统计局可以采取不同的形式，包括森林种植、可持续林业实践、可持续农业和城市绿色基础设施，但将国家统计局视为设计的生态系统，可以帮助确定与人类土地利用的所有或大多数国家统计局相关的因素。因此，本文的目的是通过综合相关知识来探索这些因素，调查因素之间的相互联系，并为土地利用规划提供建议。考虑到这些因素和它们之间的相互联系，我们提出了一种创新的总体方法来设计和管理人类土地利用的国家统计局。
