ABSTRACT This paper analyzes land-system dynamics changes due to energy infrastructure development and explores the environmental and social ramifications of hydraulic fracturing, through a case study in Central Appalachia. Grounded in photographic data, satellite images, and ethnographic material, this study demonstrates landscape and embodied experiences of change over time. Data show major shifts in terms of wildlife behavior, possibilities for farming and gardening, and byproducts of construction like noise, pollution, and excavation. However, what we argue is crucial to examine is the emotional toll that these changes have taken on rural residents. Interviewees chose to live in West Virginia because of deep enchantment with the surrounding natural beauty, which they feel they have lost due to energy development. While energy research has been dominated by technical disciplines and explanations, we advocate for an emotional-oriented analysis that accounts for individually lived experiences in the context of these landscape-level changes.

ABSTRACT Land system science (LSS) has substantially advanced understanding of land dynamics throughout the world. However, studies that explicitly address the causative role of culture in land systems have been fairly limited relative to those examining other structural dimensions (e.g. markets, policies, climate). In this paper, we aim to start a discussion on how to better include culture in LSS. Through four examples, we show how aspects of culture influence land systems in myriad ways. Building on existing causal land system models, we propose a conceptual framework for the role of culture in land use and summarize promising methodological innovations for exploring it further. We conclude with some thoughts on how the study of culture and its integration through reflexive, locally grounded approaches, while challenging, provides new opportunities for the development of LSS.

ABSTRACT During a civil war and its aftermath, rival powerholders frequently engage in decision-making over land use, for example, via land acquisitions or legal reforms. This paper explores how powerholders influence land use decision-making and what their engagement implies for territorial control. We analyse three cases of land use changes in Myanmar’s south between 1990 and 2015, where the Myanmar state and an ethnic minority organization fought over territorial control. We gathered qualitative data with a mix of methods and visualised actor networks and institutions. Our analysis reveals that the state managed to increasingly control decision-making over local land use from a distance by employing actor alliances and institutions such as laws and incentives, whereas the ethnic organization lost influence. We conclude that engaging in land use decision-making plays a crucial role in influencing the outcomes of a civil war and that it represents a form of war- and state-making.

ABSTRACT The recent oil-find at the ‘Jubilee Fields’ has impacted every sector of Ghanaian life. There is a need to understand these changes, to better manage their effects. This study investigated the dynamics surrounding land management in Sekondi-Takoradi following the oil find. Data were collected from the city in 2018 using qualitative approaches like direct observations, in-depth interviews and informal conversation. All in all, 65 informants were consulted using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. This data was analysed by listening, transcribing, coding interviews, identifying relevant information and matching results with the objectives of this study. Our findings indicate a growing demand for land which has resulted in an increase in land conflicts in the metropolis. There is, therefore, the need to revise future land use patterns and land tenure forms as well as strengthening existing institutions and legislation, among others, in a bid to achieve a sustainable city.

ABSTRACT This study aims to provide empirical evidence for the relationship between farmland abandonment and food security from the perspective of agricultural productivity. Specifically, based on 4,850 farmer households in the hilly and mountainous areas of rural China, this study uses the endogenous switching regression (ESR) method to solve the problem of self-selection in farmers’ decision-making on farmland abandonment and quantitatively examines the impacts of farmland abandonment on agricultural productivity. This study finds that in these hilly and mountainous areas, farmland abandonment improves land return by 14.06%. Namely, farmland abandonment can improve agricultural productivity, which also means that farmland abandonment may not be harmful to food security. The findings of this study may help developing countries better understand the problem of farmland use transformation and improve agricultural productivity, and it can provide references for enhancing the security of global food and nutrition.

ABSTRACT We demonstrate a method to evaluate the urban residential land use efficiency from the perspective of service facility capacity by using a neural network. Publicly available data were used to obtain the physical and socioeconomic information. Combining the actual carrying capacity calculated from the residential population and the theoretical carrying capacity calculated from the service facility density, we trained a back-propagation neural network to evaluate the efficiency of residential land use. The results show that the degree of residential land use can be reflected through the carrying capability of service facilities. Beijing’s residential land efficiency presents a spatial distribution form that declines from the centre to the edge. We also found a phenomenon that the efficiency of the residential land at the junction of administrative districts is relatively low. Our research demonstrates how multi-source publicly available data and neural network algorithms can be applied to solve complicated social issues.

ABSTRACT The growing demand for food, water, and shelter change the way people use land. These changes have affected or even caused conflict in several locations. However, conflicts do not erupt in isolation; they are the result of multiple interacting causes. There is limited structural understanding of these causes. In this study, we systematically coded case studies that report on conflict related to land-use change, including deforestation in commodity frontiers, agricultural development on common land, and urban development. Based on an analysis of 62 cases, we identified population growth, overlapping land rights, ethnic fragmentation, and economic inequality as the most frequently reported root causes, while rises in land prices was the most often reported proximate cause. Reported institutional causes suggest that the problem is not necessarily the complete absence of governance mechanisms, but rather that governance mechanisms are not fully equipped to deal with the complexities of the observed land-use changes.

ABSTRACT Undertaking industrial transfers from the eastern region in China and other developed countries leads to the growth of urban construction in central and western China. This can result in serious problems, such as the reduction of the amount of cultivated land, thus endangering Chinese food security. This paper utilizes a system generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM) estimator and data from 2008 to 2015 for 17 provinces in central and western regions using a dynamic panel model to explore the effects of both domestic and foreign investments on urban construction land. The results show that both domestic and foreign investment have significant positive effects statistically and causally, although they can also have a complementary effect that lessens the positive effect. The impact of domestic investment is weaker than that of foreign investment. We propose land management suggestions with the aim of reducing the tension between industrial relocations and urban construction land.

ABSTRACT Currently, only 40% of Brazil’s Pampa still is covered by original vegetation; however, there is a clear underrepresentation of regional biodiversity in protected areas (PA). Herein, we assessed the extent to which 13 PAs for the Integral Protection in the Brazilian Pampa are effective in conserving samples of the natural attributes and biodiversity of the Pampa. Of all 13 PAs analysed, 11 showed human land uses (range: 0.8–39%) in the legally defined area. Only six PAs had natural land cover above 90%, and abandoned agricultural fields were present in most of the PAs. All buffer zones surrounding PAs for Integral Protection had human land uses. Half of the buffer zones had human-related uses in more than 40% of area. Agricultural mosaics were the most common land uses in the buffer zones. Our study shows that most Pampa PAs are not immune to anthropogenic pressures both inside and around them.

ABSTRACT Sustainable intensification (SI) is a necessary approach to overcome the contradictions between food demands and resource and environmental constraints. We reviewed 2,475 papers on the topic ‘Sustainable Intensification,’ from Web of Science (WOS), with the help of visualizations drawn by CiteSpace and Biblioshiny. The objectives are: (i) to clarify the concept and connotations of SI, and (ii) to draw conclusions on the current situation, hotspots, and trends in SI research. The results show that: (1) Although SI has become one of the most frequently and widely used terms, its precise definition needs to be defined. (2) The number of papers on the topic of SI has been increasing, especially in the last five years. (3) A group of core authors, a representative journal cluster, and a cooperative research network have all been established. (4) Arable agriculture is the main field of SI research.
