“…From 2006 to 2012, most of the lost farmlands were replaced by construction land. In line with the idea that urbanization is becoming an important factor in land use change (Olaniyi et al 2012), the impervious surface area (ISA) on the Zhoushan Archipelago increased significantly from 2006 to 2011 (Zhang et al 2013) as a result of urban construction and the development of transportation infrastructure. Zhang et al (2014) examined the coastline changes of the Zhoushan Archipelago and found noteworthy seaward (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020).…”

Recently designated as a new special economic zone in China, Zhoushan Archipelago is going through a rapid land use change that is expected to have significant impacts on ecosystem services. However, there is no baseline of ecosystem service value (ESV) of the Zhoushan Archipelago up to date, making it impossible to assess any impacts of land use changes. In this study, we adopted the concept of "equivalent value per unit area of ecosystem services in China" and computed the ESV for 2006, 2012, and 2020 of a representative district, Dinghai, on the Zhoushan Archipelago. We then analyzed the spatial and temporal patterns of land use changes and their impacts on ESV. The results indicated that the ESV of Dinghai District declined by 59.3 M Chinese yuan ($9.5 M US dollars) from 2006 to 2012 and would further decrease by an additional 30.9 M yuan ($5 M US dollars) by 2020 according to its planned land uses. These declines in ESV were primarily due to increases in buildup areas and losses in wetland, farmland, and water areas. The results imply that more attention should be paid to controlling urban growth and protecting coastal wetlands in order to preserve valuable ecosystem services of the Archipelago.

“…In other words, the suitability of any land for any use should be determined primarily on physical criteria, secondarily on agronomic criteria, and finally, on socio-economic criteria. However, various studies [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] have shown that socio-economic factors and variables have always played an important role in land use change. In that case, although socio-economic factors and variables may not have a direct and important role on determining the suitability of lands for agriculture or other uses, through their impacts on land use and cover changes they do affect it.…”

Land-use suitability is the ability of a given type of land to support a defined use. Analysis of land-use suitability requires the consideration of a variety of criteria, not only the natural/physical capacity of a land unit, but also its socioeconomic and environmental impact implications. As land suitability is assessed within a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment, it is formulated as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. The study was conducted in the Sangab Plain in northeast Iran. We investigated the study area's suitability for grassland and agricultural uses. A hybrid method of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and GIS methodology was applied to evaluate land suitability based on a set of criteria and sub-criteria. Results showed that 20% of the study area had high (rich), 65% had medium (fair), and 15% had low (poor) suitability for agriculture. In terms of grassland use, the comparable amounts were, respectively, about 7%, 23%, and 70%. The lands of the Sangab Plain have medium potential for agricultural use and low potential for grassland use. This paper used both qualitative and quantitative techniques.

“…The results of the logistic regression analysis for mangrove change in Hai Phong city is somewhat contrary to a case study in Kenya where road accessibility contributed to deforestation (Serneels and Lambin 2001); even with a case study in the coastal land use change in Malaysia where urbanization play a main role to the coastal land use change. It is common sense since the latter research considered biophysical and socio-economic data, however, it did not consider institutional factors (Olaniyi et al 2012).…”

This research examined mangrove management in Hai Phong city, Vietnam. A combination of logistic regression model data and field survey data were used to investigate the driving forces of mangrove changes. The results indicate that implementation of mangrove management investigated by the authorities, community or local people has affected mangrove change. The main driving force of mangrove loss is over expansion of shrimp aquaculture. The poorer families would like to participate in mangrove conservation activities more than richer households. Mangrove rehabilitation programs have been successfully managed by community-based forest management in cooperation with local authorities in some coastal communes. Nevertheless, the failure to convert shrimp culture from mangrove forest is recognized in other communities. These communes have to replant mangrove in abandoned shrimp ponds and follow the mangrove management used in former communes.
