TL;DR: In this paper, a well-designed questionnaire was used to interview 720 farm households from six districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to determine the main factors that affect the choice of adaptation strategies of the farm household.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors established the analytical framework of the driving mechanism of land use transitions on urban-rural integrated development and quantitatively analyzed the methods of kernel density and spatial analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the worldwide trends in rural depopulation scientific production over time in the main levels of analysis: sources, authors, and documents, and developed a bibliometric analysis to analyse a final sample of 1150 articles published between 1979 and 2018.

TL;DR: Considering the provincial panel data in China during 1978-2017 as the research units and taking agriculture in broad sense as the study object, the agricultural eco-efficiency (AEE) was measured by the Super-SBM Model, and the influencing factors were screened out from agricultural basic condition, agricultural industrial structure, agricultural development potential and agricultural input strength as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariate probit model was used to analyse the determinants of strategies adopted for adapting to climate change in a sample of smallholder rice farmers in south-west Nigeria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and analyse the incentive policies used by several municipalities to promote the installation of green roofs and/or green walls and classify them into six different categories: tax reductions, financing, construction permit, sustainability certification, obligations by law and agile administrative process.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the spatial spillover effects of regional economic integration on urban land use efficiency in the core development zones and the restricted development zones from 2001 to 2015.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a spatiotemporal appraisal of poverty in relation to LULC change and pluvial flood risk in the south western embanked area of Bangladesh.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed and mapped the supply and demand of three ecosystem services (water provision, climate regulation, and outdoor recreation) along an urban-rural gradient in the Madrid region (Spain) from 1990 to 2012.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the influence of land transfer marketization on green total factor productivity (green TFP) and its mechanisms and empirically estimated the impact of LTM, the rationalization and optimization of industrial structure and their interactions on green TFP further.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multistage sampling technique was used to collect data of 384 crop growers by using well-structured questionnaire from two main cop zones of Punjab province of Pakistan.

TL;DR: In this article, the concept boundary object is used to explore the cohesive and fragmenting powers of the nature-based solutions (NBS) concept, and discuss its future role in green space governance.

TL;DR: The relationship between politics and livestock farming in Brazil is detrimental to environmental conservation as mentioned in this paper and politicians are introducing measures that facilitate the expansion of this type of farming, which in turn provides inputs for the food industry, thus producing a dangerous cycle in forest conservation.

TL;DR: Based on the theoretical analysis framework of China's farmland transition (FT), the authors established an evaluation index system for quantifying FT from two dimensions, the dominant transition and recessive transition, and uses K-means clustering to quantitatively divide the phases of FT in China over the past four decades.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial effects of urban form on land-use efficiency were investigated in 336 Chinese prefecture-level cities located in 31 provinces and four regions, and five landscape metrics (patch density, mean patch size, edge density, patch shape index and patch cohesion index) were used to characterize urban form.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and temporal differences in urban land use efficiency in provincial China, and examine the impact of undesirable output (e.g., industrial pollutant emissions) on ULUE using a one-stage stochastic frontier analysis (SFA).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the evolution and spatio-environmental impacts of rapid urbanization in two major metropolitan regions of Ghana (Accra-City Region and the Greater Kumasi Sub-Region) using Landsat satellite data and landscape metrics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent literature to provide a brief update on developments in the science and practice of landscape approaches, primarily in the tropics, and highlight important challenges and opportunities for landscape approach implementation, particularly related to bridging sectorial and disciplinary divides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that improvements in land governance in Brazil, and particularly in the Amazon region, have been the main pre-condition enabling reductions in deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an overview of rural evolution worldwide and attempt to explore alternative approaches for enhancing rural sustainability by establishing a conceptual framework and analyzing the rural evolution paradigm from a geographic perspective.

TL;DR: In this paper, a threshold model was used to evaluate the impact of household labor migration on rural land transfer in China, and the results showed that labor migration has a significant impact on land transfer, but when it is greater than 0.125, its impact is not significant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the dynamics of LULC change trends and its driving factors in Jimma Geneti District (JGD) for the year 1973-2019 and revealed that the total of forest land cleared between 1973 and 2019 was estimated to be 2985.27 ha (7.22 %).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored how land use regulation affects urban land values through the systematic lens, including the construction land quota, constraints on the allowed floor area ratio (FAR) of each land transaction parcel, and land supply restrictions.
