| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Quang Nguyen, Doo-Chul KimAbstractFarmers in peri-urban areas across Vietnam are experiencing rapid transformations in their livelihood and land use practices. Peri-urbanization is progressing rapidly, along with the risk of conversion of large amounts of farmland into non-agricultural land. Additionally, an increasing number of laborers are moving away from both agriculture and rural areas. Understanding households’ strategies in landholding and livelihood under such circumstances is crucial to the development and... | ||

| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Aaron Deslatte, Tyler A. Scott, David P. CarterAbstractSpecialized governance literature tends to approach special district differences at a surface level, rarely delving into consequential distinctions between districts types or their implications for policy outcomes. This article offers a step towards addressing these limitations by examining the land use impacts of an innovation in local government form referred to as “multipurpose development districts.” The article builds from a theory of local government... | ||

| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Cynthia C.E. van Leeuwen, Erik L.H. Cammeraat, Joris de Vente, Carolina Boix-FayosAbstractLand degradation affects natural and cultivated socio-ecosystems worldwide. Soil erosion is one of the main processes leading to land degradation, and the process is accelerated by human actions. Spain is dealing with extensive land degradation caused by land use and land cover change (LULCC), for instance by land abandonment, and local geo-ecological conditions. Recent land abandonment in Spain can be largely related to changing... | ||
| Will the urban agricultural revolution be vertical and soilless? A case study of controlled environment agriculture in New York City | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Wylie Goodman, Jennifer MinnerAbstractControlled environment agriculture (CEA) is an emerging form of farming increasingly found in cities worldwide. Advocates promote CEA as the future of food production, arguing for its potential to address challenges ranging from climate change to food insecurity. Detractors state that CEA’s narrow focus on high-end produce, along with its intensive capital and energy needs, limit its meaningful contribution to the urban food system. Over the last seven years, New York City has... | ||
| An assessment of the landscape-scale dimensions of land based environmental management schemes offered to farmers in England | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Jeremy R. FranksAbstractThis study reviews the evolution of environmental land management and agri-environment schemes (AES) offered to farmers in England between 1979 and 2015 from the perspective of their potential to deliver landscape-scale, i.e. cross farm boundary, environmental benefits. The review uses population conservation theory, which underpinned the recommendations in the Lawton report (Lawton et al., 2010), to identify eight characteristics of these schemes with this potential. These characteristics form... | ||

| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Wycliffe Antonio, Charisse Griffith-CharlesAbstractLand reforms for addressing economic issues are required to conform to equity, socio-cultural and other landa governance concerns. This article reviews customary/communal tenure, and land reform mechanisms for optimising economic and social outcomes for countries where this type of tenure predominates. The experiences of two land groups, the Orogwangin and the Polulve Mahevie, that have engaged with the group incorporation mechanism of addressing customary communal... | ||
| Quantifying the spatial arrangement of underutilized land in a rapidly urbanized rust belt city: The case of Changchun City | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Wenbo Li, Dongyan Wang, Hong Li, Jianguo Wang, Yuanli Zhu, Yuewen YangAbstractRegenerating underutilized lands in rust belt cities is a pragmatic way to avoid urban sprawl and to optimize urban land use, and assessing their spatial arrangements is a vital and essential procedure. In this study, we identified four types of underutilized land: vacant lot, urban village, abandoned industrial land and remnant cultivated land. We then analyzed the spatial structuring of such areas and their interconnections along with the... | ||
| A network-based approach for landscape integration of traditional settlements: A case study in the Wuling Mountain area, southwestern China | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Guo Li, Wenmin HuAbstractA trans-regional landscape network of traditional settlements (LNTS) can be used to integrate scattered landscapes and ensure the unified protection of natural and cultural landscapes. The LNTS is superior to traditional settlement protection in local areas, which is not conducive to maintaining the integrity and order of traditional settlement landscapes at the regional level. The main purpose of this research was to construct the LNTS, and three main steps were involved: the selection of the... | ||
| Revisiting forest transition explanations: The role of “push” factors and adaptation strategies in forest expansion in northern Phetchabun, Thailand | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Jean-Philippe LeblondAbstractResearchers and policy makers are increasingly looking at the drivers of forest recovery (or forest transition) for inspiration in their search for win-win solutions to deforestation. However, causal generalizations regarding forest transitions are subject to significant problems. First, forest transition theory (FTT), at least in its simplest renditions, tends to emphasize socially benign processes and fails to pay sufficient attention to the causal role—and social impacts—of negative... | ||

| Will land development time restriction reduce land price? The perspective of American call options | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Han Wang, Xingyi Wu, Di Wu, Xin NieAbstractLand speculation can increase idle or inefficient land use, thus causing a number of problems, which many countries around the world address with reasonable administrative intervention. According to China’s “Disposal Measures for Idle Land”, the land development time is limited to two years. If this time is exceeded, the government will restore the land use rights to the state without compensation for the developer.1 Using the perspective of American call options, this... | ||
| Park green spaces, public health and social inequalities: Understanding the interrelationships for policy implications | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Qian Wang, Zili LanAbstractHow to reduce neighborhood socioeconomic status- (SES-) related health inequalities has been prioritized in the recent political literature. Park green spaces (PGSs) are essential neighborhood land use assets, as they are beneficial for population health and thus should mitigate SES-related health inequalities. This paper aims to elaborate the knowledge on the complex interrelationships among PGSs, health outcomes and social inequalities through developing a set of mixed indicators in an... | ||

| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Jaroslaw Janus, Iwona MarkuszewskaAbstractThe high cost of implementing land consolidation projects (LCPs) justifies investigation of the question about the duration of economic effects of farmland merging. The assessment of economic effectiveness of LCP can be an essential argument in budgeting proceedings and in discussion of the importance of land relocation in the sustainable development of rural areas.The main aim of this research was to verify the hypothesis of persistence of favourable basic parameters of land... | ||
| Planning initiative: Promoting development by the use of options in Amsterdam | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: April 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 83Author(s): Willem K. Korthals AltesAbstractThe development of existing urban areas is needed to prevent urban sprawl. Several factors, including land assembly holdouts and the option value of land, contribute to landowners’ lack of initiative to develop designated sites. Urban governance measures, however, may provide the necessary solutions. By implementing policies that promote inner-city development, i.e. by providing serviced plots for building development, urban expansion can be controlled to ensure that it does not result... | ||
