Simulation is an important tool for assessing the impacts of urban planning and construction new urban. To support policy implementation for the development of the Xiongan New Area and promote sustainable urban management, we use the \"Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom\" (DIKW model) as a framework for predicting future land spatial changes considering sustainable development of urban planning. We developed a novel New Urban Multi-objective Land Use Prediction (NUMLUP) method, integrating a Genetic Algorithm (GA), Multi-Objective Planning (MOP), and the Conversion of Land Use and its Effects at Small Region Extent (CLUES) model. Using this approach, we obtained urban land spatial distribution data for three scenarios. Urban land spatial distribution data for the Historical Continuation Scenario (HCS), Policy Planning Scenario (PPS), and Planned Sustainable development scenario (PSDS) were obtained. To evaluate Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.3.1 and Regional Planning Goals (RPGs), we assessed 19 consecutive years of construction effectiveness—covering both past (2017–2023) and future (2023–2035) periods under the three scenarios. The dataset achieved a multi-year overall accuracy (OA) exceeding 0.87 and a kappa index above 0.83, demonstrating strong integration of the NUMLUP model. The area of built up gradually increased, and the wetland was mainly dominated by Baiyangdian, which declined significantly from 2017 to 2023. In the three scenarios, from 2023 to 2035, the expansion of the built-up slows down, and the degree of change in the HCS area is minimal. Under the PPS, forest and wetland areas underwent the most drastic changes, with overall improvement rates ranked as PPS &gt; PSDS &gt; HCS. In contrast, the PSDS led to a significant increase in grassland. Under PSDS, grassland increased significantly. The construction of the three scenarios from 2017 to 2035 has achieved certain results. While PPS and PSDS closely aligned with planning targets, the HCS would fail to meet the 2035 requirements. The PSDS also prompted adjustments in the regional policy’s spatial layout. There were adjustments to the spatial layout of the policy as a result of PSDS. The LCRPGR is consistently greater than 1 from 2023 to 2035, reflecting a rational and comfortable urban plan that provides land use to meet population growth and demand.Furthermore, the PSDS introduced reasonable modifications to the regional plan’s spatial configuration. Our research provides robust support for monitoring sustainable urban development and implementing regional policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 107893"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145689506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use annual land cover change and model the associated carbon dynamics to categorize the sub-regional ecodistricts of Canada and the USA into the most effective NCS category based on its current change dynamics. Restoration NCS may be a useful strategy in the southern boreal forest, southeastern USA (Eastern Temperate Forest), and western Canadian Cordillera, while Protection NCS should be focused in the Great Plains and the far North. Specifically, we find that 9 % of ecodistricts, and 23 % of land area, would be best managed through protection-based nature climate solutions, while 27 % of ecodistricts, and 26 % of land area, should be managed using restoration climate solutions.

Statements of commitment to just transitions therefore require scrutiny as to what a just transition is meant to entail, what kind of justice transition policies seek to ensure, and how these ambitions are envisioned to be realised in practice. Yet, it is precisely this that is missing in the current academic literature, especially in the forest sector context. This study addresses this gap by analysing implicit and explicit justice expressions in the Paris Agreement, and EU- and Swedish climate-forest policy mixes, thereby providing empirical insights on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of just transitions in the forest sector. Using a newly developed framework that combines the policy mix concept with distributional, recognitional, and procedural justice dimensions, the analysis reveals shared narrow foci in just transition understanding, discrepancies between expressed just transition motivations, and inconsistent mechanisms for implementation across governance levels, thus risking stakeholder disengagement. The results call for explicit discussions in policy debate on how justice can be ensured in transition efforts in the forest sector across levels, regardless of the specific understanding of justice that is adhered to, and open societal debate on what a just transition ultimately ought to mean in a forest context. Furthermore, policy makers must take the step from ambiguous promises to concrete instruments to support forest stakeholders through the transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 107888"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145693106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing research has overlooked the mediating effects of climatic factors and the nonlinear relationships between land use changes and SDGs, leading to gaps in understanding the synergistic mechanisms of these interactions. This study incorporates key climatic variables into a time-series forecasting framework for SDGs using a transformer-based model, with the goal to systematically revealing the relationships between land use dynamics and SDGs in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), as well as the impact mechanisms of different land use structures on SDGs. Predictions based on the Transformer model indicate that the spatial distribution of SDGs exhibits persistent heterogeneity in YREB in 2030. Land use dynamic changes exert nonlinear impacts on SDGs under different scenarios. The strongest nonlinear relationship is observed under the Sustainable Development scenario (P_non–linear = 0.0003, P_overall &lt; 0.001). The impact of built-up land on SDGs exhibits varying effects under different scenarios: 0.649 (p &lt; 0.001) in the Economic Priority scenario; −0.702 (p &lt; 0.001) and −0.549 (p &lt; 0.001) in the Natural Development and Farmland Protection scenarios, respectively.

This study investigates how national climate adaptation policies translate into local action, identifying gaps, challenges, and opportunities for embedding NbS in urban planning. A qualitative case study combined a review of policy documents with semi-structured stakeholder interviews. Findings reveal that while national policies and the Windhoek Integrated Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan (WICCSAP) set ambitious goals, they lack contextually derived measures and practical NbS targets, such as community-driven resilience or integrated locally tailored dryland strategies, or ecosystem-based water management, leaving the city reliant on grey infrastructure and short-term disaster risk responses. This omission exacerbates urban heat islands, flood risks, and constrains socio-ecological resilience. At the same time, both community-driven practices and municipal champions illustrate alternative pathways. Such initiatives signal early steps toward transformative adaptation where long-term systemic shifts in governance and practice are required. Locally grounded initiatives, including permaculture dryland gardens, rainfall monitoring, and the “Brown is Beautiful” campaign, demonstrate how culturally resonant NbS can integrate water conservation, ecological design, and social cohesion in Windhoek’s deprived, arid context. Within the municipality, individual planners and officials also advocate for NbS, seeking to move beyond grey solutions despite institutional barriers. Realising these opportunities requires capacity building, cross-sectoral coordination, and partnerships to institutionalise NbS in urban governance. The study makes two key contributions: first, it identifies the systemic neglect of NbS in Windhoek and Namibia’s climate policy frameworks; second, it highlights both bottom-up innovations and emerging top-down drivers that can bridge the policy implementation gap. Windhoek’s experience could offer transferable lessons for other rapidly urbanising, water-scarce cities across Sub-Saharan Africa.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 107877"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145658872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzes how such institutional arrangements produce governance conflicts within Namibia’s communal conservancies, where management committees and communal land boards have been introduced to manage wildlife and land in territories still under traditional authorities. The study presents evidence of institutional interactions, land use patterns, and the distribution of conservancy benefits which were obtained during field work in 2023 and 2024. We (1) collected qualitative data through interviews with conservancies stakeholders, management committees, and members of supporting institutions; (2) facilitated participatory mapping at both conservancy and village levels; and (3) reviewed regional databases of customary land rights and conservancy records. Findings reveal a form of institutional bricolage characterized by discordant institutional multiplicity shaped by competing values and logics. This produces conflicts in three domains: (1) land use and zoning, (2) management and distribution of conservancy revenues, and (3) shifting values and principles of communal land rights allocation. Conflicts emerge when governance decisions only follow the norms and values of modern systems while marginalizing customary values. Excluding traditional authorities from governance processes such as corridor planning, community conceptualization, and land allocation provokes resistance in defense of their values and legitimacy. We conclude that effective land-use governance in communal settings requires policy frameworks that recognize and integrate the values of both governance systems alike, rather than promoting the dominance of one over the other.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"161 ","pages":"Article 107887"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145651565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing this dilemma is critical for designing rural habitats that are not only climate-resilient but also socially and culturally acceptable. In this study, we use a discrete choice experiment to quantify residents’ preferences for key housing and vegetation attributes in vernacular settlements in western rural area. Based on 202 household surveys, we find that residents are willing to pay more for glazed tile roofs and high vegetation coverage, while rejecting traditional wall finishes with poor thermal performance. Preferences are shaped by a combination of functional concerns, cultural identity, economic constraints, and demographic factors such as ageing populations.
