Amid increasingly complex challenges of unsustainable rural development, China introduced the whole-region comprehensive land consolidation (WCLC) policy in late 2019. The WCLC aims to address issues such as farmland fragmentation, inefficient construction land use, disorganized village layouts, and ecological degradation. Building on the WCLC socio-economic and ecological benefits analysis framework, this study takes Dudu village in central Anhui Province, China, as a case study to assess its socio-economic benefits through cost-benefit analysis. Results indicate that WCLC represents a progressive phase in land consolidation, integrating a bottom-up approach with extensive collaboration across departments and stakeholders. Despite its high cost, WCLC proves economically viable and yields substantial socio-economic benefits, including enhanced land utilization efficiency, reduced costs, increased gain yields, improved agricultural conditions, and strengthened community cohesion. WCLC has indeed played a significant role in optimizing rural production-living-ecological spaces. However, challenges persist, encompassing an inadequate and underdeveloped mechanism for diversified funding inputs, limited societal engagement, insufficient impetus from local governments for implementation, a lack of comprehensive systemic consideration, and the absence of well-defined performance evaluation criteria for the project. Addressing these issues through innovative policies and institutional reforms is essential to enhance WCLC's effectiveness, contributing to rural revitalization and sustainable development. These findings provide valuable insights for China and other nations seeking to refine land use policies for optimal resource allocation and regional sustainability.

Land use change is a critical enabler for climatic change and consequently becomes a key source of carbon emissions. It is pivotal to track changes in carbon emissions from diverse land uses and model their future patterns in a geographically explicit manner which could capture spatial configuration and temporal dynamics from fine-resolution analyses, particularly in urban agglomerations with intense human activities. Yet, spatially explicit land-use carbon emissions have been poorly investigated; especially, no existing research to our knowledge quantifies the carbon emissions from different construction land types and tracks their changes along the urban-rural gradients. To fill in this gap, we examined carbon emissions associated with land use change during 2000–2020 in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (abbreviated as BTH) region, China, and then simulated future carbon emissions by adopting the PLUS model to project land use patterns in 2035 under three scenarios, including business as usual (BAU), cropland protection and grain security (CPGS), and low-carbon ecological security (LCES) at a 1 km resolution. Results showed that regional carbon emissions rose first and then dropped with total increase of 11,047.29 × 10⁴ t during 2000–2020, approximate 10 times as the increase in carbon absorption (1106.89 ×10⁴ t), indicating a big challenge toward carbon neutrality. The expansion of industrial and mining land and urban construction land contributed the most to emissions. Besides, both intensities of carbon emission and absorption presented spatial differentiation across urban-rural gradients and as urbanization accelerated, both urban and urban-rural fringe areas are considered the priority regions for CO₂ reduction efforts. By 2035, the largest carbon emissions will occur in the BAU scenario, followed by the CPGS and LCES scenarios which will witness the positive change exceeding the negative change. These findings offer insights for optimizing territorial spatial pattern locally and provide spatially explicit information for implementing regional low-carbon policies around urban agglomerations worldwide.

The imperatives of sustainable urban development have propelled the prominence of green infrastructure (GI) as a viable solution. However, prevailing methodologies for GI planning often prioritize individual ecosystem services (ES) and lack spatially explicit guidance. This study presents a spatially explicit approach integrating the InVEST model and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) algorithm as a multi-objective spatial optimization tool for assisting decision-making in multifunctional GI planning. The spatially explicit InVEST model was used as a model to assess GI multifunctionality. To demonstrate the applicability of our proposed model, GI of the central area of Wuhu City are optimized with the aim of maximizing the 3 objectives of maximizing habitat quality, crop production, and runoff reduction, evaluated respectively by InVEST habitat quality model, crop production model, and urban flood risk mitigation model. The comparison of typical optimized GI planning schemes—including the compromise, habitat quality preference, runoff reduction preference, and crop production preference scenarios—with the current scenario demonstrates significant improvements in corresponding ES objective. Our findings suggest that increasing forest land, certain types of arable land, and green spaces may have a higher probability of enhancing the multifunctionality of the site. Allocating GI elements in highly built-up areas may efficiently enhance multifunctionality. Spatial analysis of optimal GI schemes reveals a preference for dispersing forest land and grassland, while aggregating agricultural GIs to enhance multifunctionality. Non-linear relationships are found between the ES pair of crop production and habitat quality, as well as runoff reduction and habitat quality. Identifying inflection points where synergies and trade-offs shift is essential for maximizing multifunctionality. Trade-off relationships between crop production & runoff reduction are identified. Our study highlights the importance of recognizing non-linear relationships between certain ES pairs in GI planning, particularly identifying inflection points where synergies and trade-offs shift. This research underscores the viability of our proposed model in facilitating informed decision-making pertaining to GI planning on a citywide scale, with a specific emphasis on achieving multifunctionality. By addressing the shortcomings of current approaches and integrating advanced optimization techniques, our model offers valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners involved in sustainable urban development and GI planning.

可持续城市发展的必要性推动了绿色基础设施（GI）作为一种可行的解决方案的突出地位。然而，现行的地理标志规划方法往往优先考虑单个生态系统服务，缺乏明确的空间指导。本研究提出了一种空间显式方法，将InVEST模型与非支配排序遗传算法- ii （NSGA-II）算法相结合，作为辅助多功能地理标志规划决策的多目标空间优化工具。空间显式InVEST模型被用作评估GI多功能性的模型。为验证该模型的适用性，以芜湖市中心区域为研究对象，以最大化生境质量、最大化作物产量和最大化径流3个目标为目标，分别采用InVEST生境质量模型、作物产量模型和城市洪水风险缓解模型对其进行了优化。通过比较典型的地理标志优化规划方案（包括妥协方案、栖息地质量偏好方案、径流减少偏好方案和作物生产偏好方案）与当前方案的比较，可以发现相应的生态系统目标有显著改善。我们的研究结果表明，增加林地、某些类型的耕地和绿地可能更有可能增强场地的多功能。在高度建设的地区分配地理要素可以有效地增强多功能。最优地理标志方案的空间分析表明，地理标志方案倾向于分散林地和草地，而聚集农业地理标志以增强多功能性。作物产量ES对与生境质量、径流量ES对与生境质量存在非线性关系。确定协同作用和权衡转变的拐点对于最大限度地发挥多功能至关重要。作物产量与产量之间的权衡关系；确定了径流减少。我们的研究强调了在地理标志规划中认识到某些ES对之间的非线性关系的重要性，特别是识别协同效应和权衡转移的拐点。这项研究强调了我们提出的模型在促进与城市范围内地理标志规划相关的明智决策方面的可行性，特别强调了实现多功能。通过解决当前方法的不足并整合先进的优化技术，我们的模型为参与可持续城市发展和地理标志规划的决策者和实践者提供了宝贵的见解。

Second homes are increasingly influencing regional ecological balance and economic development through the integration of rural tourism and culture. This study assesses ecosystem service values (ESV) in Moudao Town, Hubei Province, analyzing land-use changes from 2000 to 2020 and forecasting future dynamics under multi-scenario simulations. Results indicate that urbanization led to construction land expansion, slight forest growth, and reductions in grassland and water bodies, causing fluctuating ESV trends and declining grassland and water service values. Ecosystem sensitivity to provisioning, regulation, and support services increased, signaling heightened vulnerability. Simulations revealed that natural development weakened ecological stability, while ecologically prioritized development enhanced forest and grassland values. The second-home scenario balanced ecological protection with human needs, improving overall ESV and promoting sustainability. These findings offer valuable insights for second-home planning and rural resource management strategies.

第二家园通过乡村旅游与文化的融合，对区域生态平衡和经济发展的影响越来越大。以湖北省牟道镇为研究对象，对2000 - 2020年土地利用变化进行了生态系统服务价值评估，并在多情景模拟的基础上进行了未来动态预测。结果表明：城市化导致建设用地扩张，森林略有增长，草地和水体减少，导致ESV趋势波动，草地和水体服务价值下降；生态系统对供应、监管和支持服务的敏感性增加，表明脆弱性加剧。模拟结果表明，自然发展削弱了生态稳定性，生态优先发展增强了森林和草地的价值。第二家园方案平衡了生态保护与人类需求，提高了整体ESV，促进了可持续性。这些发现为第二居所规划和农村资源管理策略提供了有价值的见解。

Land resource use involves the interplay of natural, economic, political and social factors, posing challenges for understanding and governing the complexity of land-use social-ecological systems (SESs). Therefore, this study develops a systemism research paradigm for archetypes of land-related SES governance, including theoretical content, main features and specific approaches. The archetypes of land-related SES governance illustrate the structures, joint effects and underlying mechanisms through which natural, economic, political and social factors interact based on either classical theory or theoretical innovation. Thus, policy implications are proposed to leverage the leading factors and explore the context-specific conditions composed of multiple factors for institutional selection to govern the interconnections among land users, institutions and broad natural and socioeconomic environments of land use.

土地资源利用涉及自然、经济、政治和社会因素的相互作用，对理解和管理土地利用社会生态系统的复杂性提出了挑战。因此，本研究为土地相关SES治理原型构建了一个系统主义的研究范式，包括理论内容、主要特征和具体方法。土地相关社会经济治理的原型说明了自然、经济、政治和社会因素在经典理论或理论创新的基础上相互作用的结构、联合效应和潜在机制。因此，本文提出了政策建议，以利用主导因素，探索由多因素组成的制度选择情境条件，来治理土地使用者、制度和土地利用的广泛自然和社会经济环境之间的相互联系。

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a rapidly urbanizing region home to 36 million people. However, it is also a hotspot for biodiversity conservation and a key provider of ecosystem services for Asia. Therefore, there is notable conflict between the needs for ecosystem protection and land development for food production and urbanization as the region’s population continues to grow and urban areas develop further. To resolve this conflict, ecosystem protection indicators, including protected area, ecological degradation, and the importance of ecosystem services, must be intertwined with cropland and urban land development. We identified suitable areas for cropland and urban within the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and then evaluated the potential impacts under four scenarios: ecological protection priority, balanced consideration, development area priority, and conventional scenario. Under the ecological protection priority scenario, the total suitable areas for cropland and urban are 16507.76 km² and 3339.61 km², respectively, and their total area accounted for 0.69 % in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In addition, the loss of key ecosystem services is less than 3.33 % under the scenario, which is the smallest loss among all scenarios. Correspondingly, the grain yield and the gross regional product are expected to increase by 30.15 % and 88.88 %, respectively. This is especially notable as ecosystem services decreased by 8.01 %–16.30 % under the conventional scenario. Therefore, we recommend land development under the ecological protection priority scenario for the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Our research provides a reference for the sustainability of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

青藏高原是一个快速城市化的地区，拥有3600万人口。然而，它也是生物多样性保护的热点和亚洲生态系统服务的重要提供者。因此，随着该地区人口的持续增长和城市地区的进一步发展，生态系统保护和粮食生产用地开发的需求与城市化之间存在着明显的冲突。为了解决这一冲突，生态系统保护指标，包括保护区、生态退化和生态系统服务的重要性，必须与农田和城市土地发展交织在一起。在生态保护优先、均衡考虑、发展区优先和常规情景四种情景下，对青藏高原范围内适宜的耕地和城市区域进行了潜在影响评价。在生态保护优先情景下，青藏高原耕地适宜面积为16507.76 km2，城市适宜面积为3339.61 km2，占总面积的0.69 %。此外，该情景下关键生态系统服务功能的损失小于3.33 %，是所有情景中损失最小的。粮食产量和地区生产总值预计分别增长30.15% %和88.88 %。在常规情景下，生态系统服务减少了8.01 % -16.30 %。因此，我们建议在青藏高原生态保护优先方案下进行土地开发。本研究为青藏高原的可持续发展提供了参考。

Various levels of Chinese governments have implemented several intensive land use policies (ILUP) to manage the unending extensive urbanization. However, the aspect of conflicting interests and goals at the national level (NL), local levels (LL) and land users (LU) creates resistance to the implementation of ILUP. Recognizing and studying the conflicting nature of the three parties is beneficial to mitigate the challenges of policy implementation. This paper aims to clarify the conflict mechanisms among actors in intensive land use and provide insights into mitigating conflicts in the ILUP transmission process. A combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches based on tripartite evolutionary game model were used to address the antagonism in policy implementation. The findings suggest that: (1) Policy transmission mainly led by the NL, while collaboration between the LL and LU can facilitate such transmission. (2) The interaction between LL and LU exhibits an asymmetric impact. Notably, increasing the participation intention of LU alone (20 %-40 %) has a greater effect compared to LL (40 %-60 %). (3) Enforcement of punitive measures (40 %-60 %) proves to be more efficient than rewarding measures (over 60 %) with regards to policy transmission. Moreover, direct role of NL to LL facilitates cooperation. (4) The priority of the mechanism of costs-benefits variables is as follows: reducing policy implementation costs of LL (around 15 %) > decreasing costs for LU = increasing benefits for LU (10 %-20 %) > increasing policy implementation benefits of LL (40 %-60 %) > lowering supervision costs of NL (around 100 %) > increasing external benefits of NL. This paper takes game theory to recognize and mitigate the contradictory relationship between the three parties, and provides insightful suggestions for a more effective future policy evolution.

The development of land leads to immense increases in land value. Across different planning systems, there are calls for this revenue to be used to enable planning gain for the general public budget. This can be achieved through the use of added value capture: a policy approach rooted in the notion that public action should generate public benefit. Planning literature hypothesises that the successful introduction and implementation of added value capture depends on the rationale during the process of legitimation. Acceptance of the added value capture instrument is higher if it is justified with pragmatic rationales; capturing it for the ‘greater good’, such as financing local social infrastructure. Conversely, if justice-based rationales are referred to (compensating the “unearned increment”), acceptance is lower, as the direct added value for the public is not as apparent. The existence and application of the instrument therefore depends on the rationale, making the analysis of legitimising arguments interesting, even to countries that have not (yet) introduced the instrument. However, studies on legitimacies, legitimations and rationales are rare, and are not adequately considered in existing literature reviews. This paper identifies rationale patterns across different legal traditions. Switzerland and the UK are selected as two countries with different planning systems, but both have experience with added value capture instruments. Discourse analysis is used to analyse key documents at the time of policy change, to determine how the instrument used in each country is officially legitimised and the extent of variation across the different legal traditions.

土地的开发导致土地价值的巨大增长。在不同的规划系统中，有人呼吁将这些收入用于实现一般公共预算的规划收益。这可以通过使用增值获取来实现：这是一种植根于公共行动应产生公共利益这一概念的政策方法。规划文献假设，成功引入和实施增值获取取决于合法化过程中的基本原理。如果有务实的理由，增加价值获取工具的接受度会更高；将其用于“更大的利益”，例如为当地社会基础设施提供资金。相反，如果提到基于正义的理由（补偿“未获得的增量”），接受度就会降低，因为对公众的直接增加值不那么明显。因此，该文书的存在和适用取决于其基本原理，这使得对合法化论点的分析变得有趣，甚至对尚未（尚未）引入该文书的国家也是如此。然而，关于合法性、正当性和理据的研究很少，在现有的文献综述中也没有得到充分的考虑。本文确定了不同法律传统的基本原理模式。瑞士和英国被选为拥有不同规划体系的两个国家，但它们都有使用增值获取工具的经验。话语分析用于分析政策变化时的关键文件，以确定每个国家使用的工具是如何正式合法化的，以及不同法律传统之间的差异程度。

The role of labor in the adoption of land restoration activities (LRA) that reduce soil degradation in smallholder agricultural systems has received inadequate attention. We examine the gender-labor dimensions of the adoption of LRAs by smallholder agricultural households in rural Ethiopia, in a context where more than 90 percent of agricultural households have some form of private land tenure security, which is regarded to be an important enabling factor for restoring private agricultural land. We use three panels of Living Standard Measurement Study – Integrated Survey in Agriculture (LSMS—ISA) data between 2010 and 2016 and employ panel data estimators to provide a correlational understanding of the role of male and female labor in the adoption of LRA. We also estimate these relationships for sub-samples of male-headed and female-headed households—to examine heterogeneity in the gender-labor dimensions. Controlling for tenure security, the probability of adopting LRA is significantly higher when agricultural households have greater person-days of female household and female non-household labor. This holds for all both sub-samples of households. The area of land under LRA is positively and significantly most responsive to person-days of female non-household labor in all four types of households as well. Female non-household labor has been critical for increasing the adoption of LRA on private lands of rural households in Ethiopia in recent years. In a context with high incidence of tenure security, the results make a case for continued support towards LRA adoption with a specific focus on reducing labor shortages and drudgery.

劳动力在采取土地恢复活动（LRA）以减少小农农业系统土壤退化方面的作用没有得到足够的重视。我们研究了埃塞俄比亚农村小农家庭采用lra的性别劳动维度，在此背景下，超过90%的农户拥有某种形式的私人土地使用权保障，这被认为是恢复私人农业用地的重要促成因素。我们使用2010年至2016年生活水平测量研究-农业综合调查（lsm - isa）数据的三个面板，并使用面板数据估计器来提供男性和女性劳动力在采用LRA中的作用的相关性理解。我们还估计了男户主和女户主家庭的子样本之间的这些关系，以检验性别劳动维度的异质性。在控制权属保障的情况下，当农户的女性家庭劳动力和女性非家庭劳动力人数较多时，农户采取LRA的概率显著较高。这对所有家庭的两个子样本都成立。在所有四种类型的家庭中，LRA下的土地面积对女性非家庭劳动力的人-日的响应也是显著的。近年来，女性非家庭劳动力对埃塞俄比亚农村家庭在私人土地上越来越多地采用LRA至关重要。在租住权保障率较高的背景下，研究结果表明，应继续支持采用土地使用权制度，并特别关注减少劳动力短缺和苦差事。

The occurrence of natural disasters has intensified over the past two decades in African cities with devastating consequences on people and properties. Despite the emergence of improved development of digital technologies (DTs) for disaster risk identification and management, their development and application in Africa largely remain unclear. This study explored the applicability and challenges associated with using DTs in disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) efforts in building resilient cities. Adopting a qualitative research approach, data were gathered through interviews with eight purposively selected national disaster-relevant agencies. It was found that Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) were predominantly used along the three major stages of DRRM. Barriers such as poor internet connectivity, susceptibility to cyberattacks, power outages, financial constraints, low technical expertise and training, and absence of institutional dedication to the existing framework for the use of DTs in DRRM interventions, among others, were however mentioned to impede the safety, the comfortability, dependability, user-friendliness and communicative use of the technologies for DRRM efforts in urban Ghana. The study concludes that due to rapid urbanization and rising intensity in the occurrence and impacts of disasters, prioritizing the development of resilient cities through emphasizing the necessity of digital technologies is paramount.

过去二十年来，非洲城市发生的自然灾害愈演愈烈，给人民和财产造成毁灭性后果。尽管数字技术在灾害风险识别和管理方面的发展有所改善，但它们在非洲的发展和应用在很大程度上仍不明朗。本研究探讨了在建设抗灾城市的灾害风险减少和管理（DRRM）工作中使用dt的适用性和相关挑战。采用定性研究方法，通过与八个有目的地选择的国家灾害相关机构的访谈收集数据。研究发现，地理信息系统（GIS）和全球定位系统（GPS）在DRRM的3个主要阶段均占主导地位。然而，有人提到，互联网连通性差、易受网络攻击、停电、财政限制、技术专长和培训不足、机构对在DRRM干预措施中使用直接传播技术的现有框架缺乏投入等障碍，阻碍了加纳城市DRRM工作中技术的安全性、舒适性、可靠性、用户友好性和交流性使用。该研究的结论是，由于快速城市化和灾害发生和影响的强度不断上升，通过强调数字技术的必要性来优先发展弹性城市至关重要。
