The role of accessibility for land use and land cover change in the Brazilian Amazon

Johannes Schielein et al.

Summary: Geographic differences in accessibility are critical for understanding land use and land cover change dynamics. This study demonstrates the importance of alternative concepts and measures of accessibility in predicting LULCC, suggesting that different measures of infrastructure access can explain various socio-economic aspects of land use change.

Mapping dynamic peri-urban land use transitions across Canada using Landsat time series: Spatial and temporal trends and associations with socio-demographic factors

Agatha Czekajlo et al.

Summary: The study utilized Landsat satellite imagery data to analyze land use transitions in 18 major Canadian cities over a 33-year period. Results show that 41% of peri-urban areas in Canada experienced transitions, with approximately 2,700 square kilometers of natural and/or agriculture land converted to urban use. Regional differences in land use transitions suggest potential influences of urban policies and historical socio-economic trajectories.

Institutional changes drive land use transitions on rangelands: The case of grazing on public lands in the American West

Briana Swette et al.

Summary: Livestock grazing on natural rangeland vegetation is a significant land use with implications for livelihoods, food security, and the environment. Changes in grazing practices on public lands since 1940 in the High Divide region were primarily driven by factors such as range condition evaluations, carrying capacity estimates, legal requirements, ranch economics, and amenity migration. Institutional management is crucial in balancing competing values and demands for privately-used rangelands.

Evaluating the spatial spillover effect of farmland use transition on grain production - An empirical study in Hubei Province, China

Yifeng Tang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial spillover effects of farmland use transition on grain production in Hubei Province from 2005 to 2017. It finds a positive spatial spillover effect at the county level, with variations in topographical areas. Plain areas are mainly influenced by factors like farmland quantity and machinery, while hilly-mountainous areas are affected by labor input. The study suggests promoting coordinated development of regional farmland use and grain production for food security.

Modeling AADT on local functionally classified roads using land use, road density, and nearest nonlocal road data

Srinivas S. Pulugurtha et al.

Summary: The research focuses on modeling the influence of road, socioeconomic, and land-use characteristics on local road traffic volume, finding that road density, AADT at the nearest nonlocal road, and land use variables significantly affect local road AADT. The geographically weighted regression (GWR) method is more accurate in estimating AADT than traditional ordinary least square (OLS) regression.

Trade-offs and driving forces of land use functions in ecologically fragile areas of northern Hebei Province: Spatiotemporal analysis

Chao Liu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in land use functions in ecologically fragile areas using Zhangjiakou City as a case study from 1990 to 2015. The results showed enhancement in land-use economic, social, and ecological functions, especially the social function. The study identified spatial heterogeneity and clustering of LUFs, with different coordination or conflicts among various functions depending on terrain and socio-economic conditions.

The factors in residents' mobility in rural towns of China: Car ownership, road infrastructure and public transport services

Zhao Yu et al.

Summary: Car ownership plays a significant role in influencing rural people's mobility in China, with other transport vehicles having positive but weaker impacts. Access to public transport encourages travel to higher-order centres. The study highlights the importance of road investments and car ownership policies, as well as the need for eco-friendly and accessible transport alternatives in rural China.

National transportation networks, market access, and regional economic growth

Ian Herzog

Summary: This study estimates the effects of interregional transportation on local economic activity by studying the Interstate Highway System. It finds that highways increase employment through market access, have small and delayed wage effects, and that instrumental variables correct for downward bias. A structural model interprets the results as agglomeration and congestion forces strengthening after 1980, with counterfactual simulations showing the heterogeneous effects of Interstates and the core system being more valuable than additions to the early plans.

Global evidence on productivity effects of road infrastructure incorporating spatial spillover effects

Akio Konno et al.

Summary: This paper empirically analyzes the productivity effects of road infrastructure and spatial spillover effects using a global database. The study finds significant spatial dependence and concludes that the spatial Durbin model outperforms other models. Results show that the direct impact of road infrastructure is negative, spillover effect is positive, and overall effect is positive but insignificant.

Summary: This study utilized a hierarchical linear model to explore the influencing factors of cultivated land fragmentation in Jiangsu Province. The results revealed distinct spatial characteristics of CLF, influenced by factors at township and county levels. Establishing a positive interaction between county and township levels is recommended to alleviate CLF.
