Green Space Equality Is Better in Fast-Growing Cities: Evidence from 140 Cities in China

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 366 - 366

Published: Feb. 10, 2025

Given the critical role of urban green space (UGS) in fostering sustainable development, there is a growing focus on assessing levels and inequalities exposure. However, integration UGS with particularly context China’s unique national conditions, remains underexplored. This study evaluates adequacy equity provision 140 Chinese cities (with built-up areas exceeding 100 km2) using metrics such as percentage space, exposure, Gini coefficient. Additionally, investigates interplay between natural, economic, social factors variables, examining interrelation urbanization development within framework distinctive land finance policy. The findings reveal that most large suffer from inadequate inequitable provisions, clear connection these deficiencies. highlights favorable natural economic growth, urbanization, living transfer system China can enhance exposure equality. research offers valuable insights evidence for central local governments to devise effective greening strategies, aiming attain high-quality development.

Geographically weighted regression based on a network weight matrix: a case study using urbanization driving force data in China

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 37(6), P. 1209 - 1235

Published: March 24, 2023

AbstractGeographically weighted regression (GWR) is a classical modeling method for dealing with spatial non-stationarity. It incorporates the distance decay effect in space to fit local models, where defined as Euclidean distance. Although this definition has been expanded, it remains focused on physical However, era of globalization and informatization, phenomenon remotely close association common, may not reflect real proximity, GWR based clear limitations. This paper proposes geographically network weight matrix (NWM GWR) model. does rely geographical location modeling; instead, uses measure proximity between two regions weights observations by improving kernel function achieve attenuation. We adopt population mobility establish matrix, China's urbanization its multidimensional driving factors using autocorrelation NWM methods. Results show that model more accurate better stability than ordinary least squares reveals relationships variables, which makes suitable economic social systems broadly.Keywords: Network matrixgeographically regressionnetwork distancespatial non-stationarityordinary Author contributionsJingyi He: methodological design, technical implementation, writing – original draft; Ye Wei: conceptual review & editing, Supervision; Bailang Yu: validation.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict interest was reported author(s).Data codes availability statementData used study are available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.21299253.v4.Additional informationFundingThis work supported National Natural Science Foundation China [No. 41971202].Notes contributorsJingyi HeJingyi He currently pursuing doctorate Urban regional planning Northeast Normal University, Changchun 130024, China.

The Residential Environment and Health and Well-Being of Chinese Migrant Populations: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(4), P. 2968 - 2968

Published: Feb. 8, 2023

China’s internal migrants suffer from marginalised housing conditions, poor neighbourhood environments and residential segregation, which may have significant implications on health well-being. Echoing recent calls for interdisciplinary research migrant well-being, this study examines the associations mechanisms of impact environment well-being Chinese migrants. We found that most relevant studies supported “healthy migration effect”, but phenomenon was only applicable to migrants’ self-reported physical rather than mental health. The subjective is lower urban There a debate between effectiveness environmental improvements ineffectiveness in terms Housing conditions neighbourhood’s social can enhance by strengthening place attachment cohesion, building localised capital gaining support.

Can economic growth and urban greenness achieve positive synergies during rapid urbanization in China?

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 150, P. 110250 - 110250

Rapid urban expansion reflects the increasing economic growth in China. As an original conceive for sustainability, contributes to vegetation changes. However, spatiotemporal heterogeneity of relationships between these two factors remains unclear After analyzing characteristics different cities China from 2002 2020, we found a rapid and continuous China, with mean annual 1710.96 km2 year−1 (p < 0.01). based on trends maximum enhanced index (EVImax) nighttime light (NTL), strong incoordination status (areas significant NTL 0.05) but significantly decreasing EVImax) greenness growthwas during this period. Spatially, >60% showed 38.08% strongly status.

Urban Green Development and Resilient Cities: A First Insight into Urban Forest Planning in Italy

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(15), P. 12085 - 12085

Published: Aug. 7, 2023

The research proposes an application of a modification the 3–30–300 rule to identify areas that require Urban Forestry implementation in small and medium-sized Roman and/or medieval urban areas. selected case study is Asti Piedmont, Italy. An open source, cross-platform desktop geographic information system used process geospatial datasets via qualitative analyses electoral sections (or wards). analysis number distribution trees around each building performed, addition calculation tree canopy cover distance between buildings green spaces. Findings reveal 64 out 70 wards have average at least three per sufficient 0.5 hectares within 300 m buildings. Additionally, ranges from approximately 0.6% (lowest) about 55% (highest) for sections. Lastly, findings suggest highly built-up fabric these may significantly affect availability quality In conclusion, proves benefits applying using integrated assessment approach based on nature-based solutions ecosystem services.
