Studies have suggested the importance of implementing climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in combination with considering possible co-benefit and trade-off among them. However, quantification of such co-benefit/trade-off at city scale is still its infancy. Accordingly, using a micro zone level spatial explicit land use model which we have developed, this study assesses the co-benefit...
It is an important and basic work for the sustainable development research on cities to learn the relations between economic development and the variation of urban construction land, and for the modeling and prediction as well. This paper makes a case study in Hangzhou, compares the process of urban expansion in the central, near-central and suburban areas, acquiring the information of construction...
This paper identifies the different planning approaches of new urbanism for planning a sustainable city. Transect is one such approach which enables a zoning of the city and the application of sustainable planning principles. The paper analyses the current planning approach in the study area-Chennai city- Land use Zoning Model with different Land use zoning regulations and the building development...
The land is foundation of human survival and development, land sustainable use is related to human survival and development. Taking Daqing City as an example, the paper constructs evaluating indicator system basing on the characteristics of Daqing's land. Combining the entropy theory and the matter-element to construct the evaluate model, the paper evaluates the land sustainable use degree with macroscopic...
Land resources are the foundation of existence and development of human being, its an important part of country resources. Urbanization and industrialization is very fast in Dalian City.In the process, too much agricultural land was transformed into construction land,which aggravated the contradiction between people and land.So how to achieve sustainable development and use of land resource, keep...
In the process of rapid urbanization, urban land use cover was changed by human activities. In order to maintain sustainable development in land use, it is very important to study dynamical characteristics of land use and the processes of land cover changing in urban region. As a case of Huadu district of Guangzhou, temporal and spatial characteristics of land use in 1990-2005 were analyzed with remote...
The heterogeneity of spatial planning data is a well known problem that admittedly limits its use and provokes numerous difficulties to planners, investors as well as decision makers. Spatial planning is confronted with a huge problem concerning the diversity in data collection, storing, processing and provision. These challenges constitute the main concern of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information...
Japan leads the world in green technology. With the expansion of the scale of land development and the higher level of civil Engineering Construction mechanization, Japan has already developed the appropriate technology to green land. Japanese government implements strict environmental protection measures. The concept of ecologically sustainable development take root in people's community. Many of...
China's arable land resource is scarce. To protect the arable land, China carries out a basic farmland protection system. Arable lands with best natural qualities, location conditions and larger areas are protected as basic land. It's specifically stipulated that the basic farmland should be determined in the general land use planning. A certain quality and quantity of basic farmland is not only a...
Aiming at the problem of the low rate of land utilization, poor living conditions in rural residential area, this paper puts forward the concept of new rural residential area construction which of the characteristics such as clear aim, sustainable development, systematic construction, regional differences, urban-rural coordination, and diversity of subjects. It also analyzes the problems and the reasons...
Land use change is a major issue in global environment change and is especially significant in rapidly developing urban regions of China was being witnessed. With its economic development, population growth, and urbanization in Chengdu, capital of the western province of Sichuan, China, have experienced a dramatic land use change over the past 30 years. Assessment on urban land use change is essential...
Rapid land use change has taken place in many urban regions of China such as Chengdu city, many problems in society and environment have appeared. Assessment on urban land use change is essential for land sustainable development. The objective of this study is to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamic change of urban land use from 1992 to 2008 in Chengdu city, the provincial capital of Sichuan, has undergone...
Rapid urbanization processes have been primarily attributed to tremendous changes in the exploitation manner and intensity of urban land use. The limited and nonrenewable characteristics of urban land resources prompted to develop and utilize urban land use rationally, which would push the sustainable development of urban land use. The evaluation of urban land use suitability contributed to identify...
Ecological footprint is a viable approach to measure the ecological economic system of a region, as an important method in harmonizing land-use and ecological environment. According to the concept and calculation method of ecological footprint and ecological harmonious degree, the ecological footprint and ecological harmonious degree of Gu'an County in 2008 were analyzed with related statistical data...
Problems of land ecological security caused by the unreasonable utilization of land resource have influenced the sustainable development of society and economy. This paper selected areas along the Changjiang River in Anhui Province as study area. It constructed an evaluation index system of land ecological security based on Pressure-State-Response model. Considering the illegibility and uncertainty...
With the development of economy, the social economy condition of Wuhan city has changed a lot. Land use change is the most remarkable among the changes which has deep influence on economy development, ecology change, and land sustainable development, et al, especially on the urbanization, more direct and remarkable. This article mainly analyzes Wuhan's land use change condition in the progress of...
The contradiction between the presences of extensively use of urban land and the existence of tight supply and excess demand for land becomes more and more fierce. Consequently, how to improve the intensively use of urban land becomes a hotspot. Based on definition of sustainable and intensive use of urban land and the fact of land using in Tianjin, this paper established an evaluation system including...
The urban growth trends of the key metropolitan cities of India ,in the post economic reforms era beginning 1991, are characterized by a multitude of problems associated with low density, low rise and unregulated sprawl without adequate infrastructure, leading to loss of fertile agricultural lands and other phenomenon of unsustainable urban development. The paper, after discussing the present pattern...
In recent years, with the rapid urban development and expansion, a large number of residential quarters have emerged out. But the designs of these settlements are following the same pattern, with the disadvantages of lacking of resistance and environmental characteristics. This paper analyzes the relationship between the construction of settlements in the design and the context, stresses the importance...
Land is vitally related to human existence and development. It has being evidently proved that sustainable utilization of land resources is the core problems of sustainable development. Taking Beijing city as a model case, we used the Delphi and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods to assess the land intensive use level from 1996 to 2005. By building respective index system of intensive land use,...
