“…Capital, labor and other production factors are invested in a certain area of urban land and generated economic output. The added value of the secondary and tertiary industries per unit of built-up area is the mainstream index to represent the ULUE [2,3,50,51]. Hence, this paper calculated the ULUE by the following formula:…”

The construction and operation of high-speed rail (HSR) has become an important policy for China to achieve efficiency and fairness and promote high-quality economic growth. HSR promotes the flow of production factors such as labor and capital and affects economic growth, and may further affect urban land use efficiency (ULUE). To explore the impact of HSR on ULUE, this paper uses panel data of 284 cities in China from 2005 to 2018, and constructs Propensity Score Matching-Differences in Differences model to evaluate the effect of HSR on ULUE. The result of entire China demonstrates that the HSR could significantly improves the ULUE. Meanwhile, this paper also considers the heterogeneity of results caused by geographic location, urban levels and scales. It demonstrates that the HSR has a significantly positive effect on ULUE of Eastern, Central China, and large-sized cities. However, in Western China, in medium-sized, and small-sized cities, the impact of HSR on ULUE is not significant. This paper concludes that construction and operation of HSR should be linked to urban development planning and land use planning. Meanwhile, the cities with different geographical locations and scales should take advantage of HSR to improve ULUE and promote urban coordinated development.

“…Land use efficiency (LUE) refers to an increase in the output of a unit land area related to regional social and economic activities [22,23]. LUE is a representative concept adhering to the sustainable development paradigm [24,25] and is the result of dynamic processes driven by economic, social, traffic, and political factors [26].…”

Inefficiency in urban land use is one of the problems caused by rapid urbanization. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) indicator 11.3.1 is designed to test urban land use efficiency. This study employed geospatial and statistical data to compute land use efficiencies from 1990 to 2015 with five 5-year and ten 15-year intervals in Wukang, center of Deqing County, China. A flowchart was designed to extract the built-up lands from multiple data sources. The produced built-up lands were demonstrated to provide good accuracy by constructing an error matrix between the extracted and manually interpreted built-up lands as classified and reference images, respectively. By using the model provided by UN metadata to calculate SDG 11.3.1, the land use efficiencies from 1990 to 2015 were identified in Wukang. Our results indicate that the land use efficiency in Deqing County center is lower than the average of cities around the world, primarily because our in-situ study focused on a county center with larger rural regions than urban areas. Over the long term, urban land use becomes denser as the population grows, which will have a positive impact on the sustainability of urban development. This work is helpful for the local government to balance urban land consumption and population growth.

“…It was found that the influence of urban form on land use efficiency varies significantly with the region and city size. Although high patch density and large urban patch size have a positive effect on large-scale urban land use efficiency, it is not conducive to the improvement of land use efficiency in small cities [35].…”

This paper corrected the long-term misunderstanding of the land utilization efficiency concept. The Undesirable-Window-DEA model, Dagum Gini coefficient, and spatial panel autoregressive model with fixed effect were used to explore the spatial heterogeneity and influencing factors of urban construction land utilization efficiency in China from 2004 to 2016. The results show the following: (1) China’s overall utilization of urban construction land is still at a low level. It decreased first and then rose, with a “flat V-shaped” evolution pattern. (2) During the study period, the Gini coefficient of urban construction land utilization efficiency for all provinces decreased first, then rose, and decreased again. The utilization efficiency Gini coefficients within provincial grouping were eastern region (0.063), central region (0.101), and western region (0.128). The Gini coefficients within provincial grouping were central versus western (0.121), eastern versus western (0.161), and eastern versus central (0.168). For the contribution to overall inequality of land utilization efficiency, the inequality within groups contributes the most (57.57%), and the inequality between groups accounts for about 25.62%. The overall efficiency is improved, with an evolution pattern of “difference narrowed–differences expanded–difference narrowed.” (3) “economic development,” “industrial structure,” “research development investment,” and “land urbanization level” have significantly positive effect on urban construction land utilization efficiency, while other factors have a negative effect, including “urbanization level of population,” “urban population density,” “cultivated field resources level,” “government influence level,” “land urbanization level,” and “financial dependence level.” This study could provide theoretical support for the implementation of cross-provincial/regional urban construction land quotes reallocation and differential construction land management policies.
