“…It is authoritative, comprehensive, strategic, regional, and restrictive [ 2 ]. The current planning system in China is complex and imperfect, and there have been some problems such as conflicts of various types of planning content, poor linkage of various departments, and complex work processes [ 3 , 4 ], resulting in prominent human-land conflicts, unbalanced development of urban and rural areas, low efficiency of land space development, and insufficient ecological protection, among others [ 5 – 7 ]. The newly proposed national spatial planning integrates the functions of various planning departments and improves the coordination mechanism among various departments.…”

With the rapid global urbanization, the unlimited increasing transportation infrastructure has met the needs of urban expansion, but it has caused a series of ecological problems lacking consideration of ecological conservation. The land suitability assessment for supporting transport planning based on carrying capacity and demand for construction is an effective way to promote urban socioeconomic development and ecological conservation. Therefore, we constructed a logical framework of resources and environment supporting, traffic construction demand driving, and ecological protection red line and basic farmland constraining, and applied the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), GIS, three-dimensional magic cube method, and gravity model to evaluate the suitability of expressway development in Sichuan Province, China. The results showed that the spatial difference in the carrying capacity of resources and environment and the demand for expressway construction was relatively high in Sichuan, and those in eastern cities were even higher. The land suitability for supporting transport planning was relatively high, and the suitable areas with a grade from 8 to 10, accounted for 20.77% of the total study area, which could almost meet the demand for transportation infrastructure construction. The land suitability performed a circle structure with Chengdu as the core and gradually decreasing to the periphery. Overall, this study adds new insights to transport planning reform in other similar regions around the world and can provide important references for regional development planning and environmental protection.

“…The method for landslide susceptibility mapping could be applied as one of the metrics of intrinsic environmental vulnerability of mountain areas in environmental impact assessment. In particular, the development of an integrated mapping tool can complement other methods already available from the literature and be applied to the sustainable development of projects and planning, due to its ability in evidencing the vulnerability of a territory with a sufficiently high spatial resolution and accuracy [75,76]. A further integration with other online tools could also serve as a basis for information sharing along the process of policy implementation by applying a bottom-up approach, as already suggested by the literature [77].…”

This work investigated the susceptibility factors that trigger shallow landslides. In particular, the objective of the research was the implementation of a method to determine the relevant factors that can trigger shallow landslide events. However, with respect to the existing methods, the integration with historical datasets and the inclusion of spatial factors displaying dynamics in the same characteristic timescales were specific features of the developed tool. The study area included the watersheds of the Sessera and Strona rivers in the alpine area of the Province of Biella (Piedmont, NW Italy). The method was developed and tested from two sub-datasets derived from an integrated dataset that referred to an intense event, involving the same area, that occurred in 1968 (2–3 November). This allowed the implementation of an integrated representation of landslides’ predisposing factors and the identification and classification in different groups of the areas susceptible to geo-hydrological instability processes. The previously existing databases were verified and integrated into a geographic information system (GIS) environment, giving a potentially sharable source of information for planning purposes. The obtained maps represent a metric of one of the possible intrinsic environmental vulnerability factors for the area under study. Consequently, this method can represent a future instrument for determining the intrinsic environmental vulnerability dependent on landslides within an environmental impact assessment (EIA), as required by the most recent European regulation on EIA. Moreover, the shared information can be used to implement informed policy and planning processes, based on a bottom-up approach. In particular, the availability online of landslide susceptibility maps could support the generation of augmented information—useful for both local administrators and planners as well as for stakeholders willing to implement specific projects or infrastructure in vulnerable areas, such as mountains.

“…For individual land-use types, many of them have correlation coefficients r > 0.5, except for grass, wheat, rice, and water and tide land. Rice land is generally quite flat (with suitable slopes of less than 3 • [50]) and can be assumed to have constant elevations in a given geographical area (for example, in Lianyungang). Despite a low correlation (r = 0.109), other measures in Table 2 show low absolute errors observed for rice land.…”

The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal-Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER GDEM) is important to a wide range of geographical and environmental studies. Its accuracy, to some extent associated with land-use types reflecting topography, vegetation coverage, and human activities, impacts the results and conclusions of these studies. In order to improve the accuracy of ASTER GDEM prior to its application, we investigated ASTER GDEM errors based on individual land-use types and proposed two linear regression calibration methods, one considering only land use-specific errors and the other considering the impact of both land-use and topography. Our calibration methods were tested on the coastal prefectural city of Lianyungang in eastern China. Results indicate that (1) ASTER GDEM is highly accurate for rice, wheat, grass and mining lands but less accurate for scenic, garden, wood and bare lands; (2) despite improvements in ASTER GDEM2 accuracy, multiple linear regression calibration requires more data (topography) and a relatively complex calibration process; (3) simple linear regression calibration proves a practicable and simplified means to systematically investigate and improve the impact of land-use on ASTER GDEM accuracy. Our method is applicable to areas with detailed land-use data based on highly accurate field-based point-elevation measurements.
