Abstract:

This study aims to explore the relationship between urbanization and agricultural development in China, focusing on the mechanisms through which urbanization influences agricultural sustainability. It investigates the role of urbanization in promoting agricultural development through resource agglomeration, technological advancement, and market demand expansion. Using panel data from 31 Chinese provinces between 2007 and 2021, this study applies the entropy method to construct comprehensive evaluation indices for agricultural environments and resources.

Abstract:

AbstractIn a country like Ethiopia where the vast majority of the populations are employed in agriculture, land is an important economic resource for the development of rural livelihoods. Agricultural land in peri-urban areas is, however, transformed into built-up regions through horizontal urban expansion that has an effect on land use value. In recent years Ethiopia has been experiencing rapid urbanization, which has led to an ever-increasing demand for land in peri-urban areas for housing and other nonagricultural activities that pervades agricultural land. There is a high demand for inform

Abstract:

Urbanization refers to the migration of people from rural areas to urban areas, which is characterized by increased infrastructure and population density. Many factors, including population growth, economic development, industrial expansion, rural-to-urban migration, and regulatory changes, cause urbanization. The primary emphasis of this study was the impact of urbanization on changes in agricultural land use in Kicukiro, Rwanda. The factors affecting urbanization in Kicukiro District were explored, together with the effects of urbanization on the district's agricultural land cover change. Th

Abstract:

Urbanization, climate change, and agricultural systems are intricately linked, posing significant challenges to global sustainability. With urban populations projected to reach 64% in developing and 86% in developed countries by 2050, the expansion of cities is transforming land use, impacting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and altering food production patterns. This growth, particularly evident in Asia and Africa, intensifies the demand for resources while encroaching on agricultural land. Global urban expansion by 2030 is projected to cause a 1.8-2.4% loss of croplands, with 80% of this los

Abstract:

Since the early 1980s the conversion of land to non-agricultural use has been arguably the most widespread and intense in China's history. The recent increase in non-agricultural land use has been caused largely by the rapid expansion of urban settlements and the construction of roads and stand-alone industrial sites. Among the factors contributing to these changes, rural–urban migration, urbanization and accelerating development are among the most important. Analysis of land use data from three coastal provinces suggests that variations in the share of land occupied for non-agricultural use a

Abstract:

Land use and land cover (LULC) changes are critical indicators of environmental dynamics and human activities. In southeastern Nigeria, the Ezza North, Ezza South, Abakalik, and Ikwo LGAs have experienced substantial LULC changes from 2017 to 2023. Understanding these changes is vital for sustainable environmental management and development planning. The study aims to analyze the LULC changes between 2017 and 2023 in the specified LGAs and assess their environmental, economic, and social implications. This analysis will inform policy recommendations for sustainable land management. The study u

Abstract:

AbstractClassical development economics theories offer conflicting perspectives on the relationship between urbanization and urban–rural income gaps (URIG). This study examined the impact on URIG of county‐to‐district transformation (CDT), a Chinese government‐led urbanization strategy. Using county‐level panel data from 2000 to 2022, the analysis found that CDT promoted county‐level economic growth, resulting in absolute income gains for both urban and rural residents. However, urban incomes grew at a faster rate, widening the relative income gap. This gap‐widening effect was primarily driven

Over the last few decades, urban sprawling and agricultural land consumption has been out of control in Pakistan. Pakistan is one of the most rapid urbanizing countries in South Asia. The present study examined the issue of urban expansion in Bara Kahu Islamabad Pakistan, relating the expansion of urban sprawl, loss of agricultural land, and evolution of new socioeconomic impacts on agricultural societies. This study identifies the socioeconomic drivers. Explanatory and qualitative research designs and unstructured questionnaires were used to collect data. A sample of 30 respondents was taken

Abstract. Agricultural land-use has been reduced by mainly urbanization and devastation in Japan. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the decline of agricultural land-use on flood risk and material flux in hilly and mountainous watersheds using Soil Water Assessment Tool. The results indicated that increase of flood risk due to abandonment of agricultural land-use. Furthermore, the abandonment of rice paddy field on steep slope areas may have larger impacts on sediment discharges than cultivated field. Therefore, it is suggested that prevention of expansion of abandonment

Considering the transition process among different land use types under the IVDB policy, this study proposes two situations of urban land expansion.

This paper presents some preliminary results from research on monitoring the urban growth of Shenzhen in China. Agriculture is still the pillar of national economies in many countries including China. Thus, agriculture contributes to population growth. Population growth follows either exponential or logistic growth models. These models can be examined using a time-series of geospatial data, mainly historical earth observation imagery from satellites such as LANDSAT. Such multitemporal data may provide insights into settlement analysis as well as on population dynamics and hence, quantify the l

Abstract:

Prairies or grasslands together with areas designated as agricultural lands are one of the largest types of land cover and land use that exist today. While prairies provide habitat to a wide variety of animals and organisms, and agricultural lands support human populations, these lands, especially those in the immediate vicinities of large urban areas, are giving way to urbanization at alarming rates. In particular, prairies are often viewed as wastelands because their benefit to the effective functioning of the urban ecosystem is often not fully understood. On the other hand, many agricultura

The connection between increasing urbanisation and economic expansion has been a source of much concern. If the change of human civilization that has taken place since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution were to be summed up in no more than three words, there are few possibilities that are more appropriate than urbanisation, industrialization, and globalisation. These three aspects are intertwined and interdependent on one another. Industrialization results in the direct output of economic growth, which, in turn, provides additional impetus to a vigorous process of urbanisation in both
