Belt and Road Initiative and Urban Landscapes: Quantifying Land Use Changes and Development Strategies in Minsk, Vientiane, and Djibouti

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(4), P. 875 - 875

Published: April 16, 2025

This paper presents a comparative study of land use in different regional types under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) through case Minsk, Vientiane, Djibouti. The BRI has created significant opportunities for economic cooperation between China participating countries. As key instruments advancing fostering development, overseas industrial parks play crucial role attracting investment, facilitating workforce training, promoting local infrastructure development. With growing number parks, need their efficient scientifically guided development attracted increasing scholarly attention. However, pressing issue remains how to formulate context-specific grounded plans these that account diverse natural conditions foundations. examines China-Belarus Industrial Park Saysettha Development Zone Djibouti International Free Trade Zone, using remote sensing data patch-generating simulation (PLUS) model analyze changes driving forces three cities from 2000 2020, thereby revealing land-use patterns developmental differences. findings indicate population density, transportation infrastructure, topographic features are primary behind areas surrounding significantly influencing expansion construction utilization adjacent types. Moreover, variations strategies across regions result divergent changes, giving rise distinct urbanization characteristics. coordinated ports, urban plays vital integration. Through quantitative analysis, this provides theoretical support practical guidance planning along BRI. It advocates tailored align with specific contexts, order avoid shortcomings one-size-fits-all policies varying conditions.

Mapping Re-Naturalization Pathways for Urban Ecological Governance: A Spatial Decision-Support Framework Based on Ecosystem Service Valuation

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 917 - 917

Published: April 23, 2025

Traditional urban expansion struggles to balance economic and ecological demands. Intensive development planning based on re-naturalization has become the policymakers’ choice. However, planning-oriented land use patterns pathways remain difficult determine. This study developed a spatial decision-support framework integrating ecosystem service valuation (ESV), land-use simulation, for Shanghai. assessed spatiotemporal dynamics of ESV simulated 2035 under different scenarios (inertial development, cropland protection, development). The optimal scenario corresponding were determined principle ESV. results showed that declined over past 20 years (−5.21%/5 years). High-value areas shrank significantly due space degradation. is scenario, with highest CNY 189,240.29 million, which higher than status quo, inertia protection by 9.69%, 23.27%, 9.53%, respectively. Taking as objective, 12 totaling 686.88 km2 identified. Cropland forestland built-up largest, accounting 67.88% 15.02%, provides valuable insights into in urbanized areas.

Integrating Ecosystem Service Values into Urban Planning for Sustainable Development

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(12), P. 1985 - 1985

Published: Nov. 21, 2024

Urbanization, despite driving regional economic growth, has led to significant disparities in development levels among cities. Many studies have made valuable suggestions for ecological conservation economically underdeveloped regions. However, medium-level cities with large needs, the question of how strike a balance between and land patterns is critical issue be addressed. By integrating ecosystem services assessment models use prediction models, we proposed framework guiding future land-use strategies based on service values, using Jiaxing City as case study. Firstly, assessed mapped current status value. Then, simulated distribution pattern value under three strategies: inertial development, cropland protection, development. Eventually, determined optimal urban pattern. The results showed that total CNY 124.82 billion, climate regulation, water conservation, flood mitigation contributing most. strategy yields highest value, 0.81% increase compared situation, while protection result decreases 0.73% 10.93%, respectively. Furthermore, expands high-value areas, concentrated northern river network southern hilly These findings offer insights planners policymakers formulating sustainable values into policies promote

Assessment of Ventilation Potential and Construction of Wind Corridors in Chengdu City Based on Multi-Source Data and Multi-Model Analysis

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(10), P. 1671 - 1671

Published: Oct. 14, 2024

The establishment of urban ventilation corridors (UVCs) aims to mitigate the heat island effect. While most studies focus on construction and assessment environmental benefit UVCs, they often overlook analysis UVCs’ topological features. This research integrates multi-source data including 3D buildings, historical meteorological observations, high-resolution remote sensing, land use planning, combined with multiple models, geographic information system spatial analysis, circuit theory, complex networks. Based an potential, model was applied extract UVCs aligned prevailing wind direction for both summer winter seasons. Complex network modeling employed analyze features network. From analytical results, a multi-level corridor Chengdu quantitatively developed. results indicate that city’s overall resistance is high, notable clustering, southeastern region faces substantial obstructions. A total 143 critical nodes were identified, number air inlets outlets in being significantly fewer than winter. However, cooling effect superior comprises 16 communities distinct characteristics, exhibiting moderate connectivity, lacking small-world properties, showing congestion instability.
