“…There are different "topic modeling techniques" used in literature. While some researchers used LDA (Boussalis and Coan, 2016;Jiang et al, 2016) method, some of them employed "auto correlation maps" (Sunikka and Bragge, 2012). Brainstorming is another method used in topic modeling (Jourdan et al, 2008).…”

“…Similarly, the trends in carbon market from 1992 to 2011 were described by Du et al (2015), according to their findings, the focus of carbon market related studies were "climate change" and "carbon emissions". Bibliometric analysis and topic modeling approach used by Jiang et al (2016) to establish academic concerns of the Three Gorges Project (TGP) which is world's largest hydropower project. In the study 8240 abstracts of Chinese articles from 2001 to 2013 in aforementioned topic were used as inputs (Jiang et al, 2016).…”

“…Regional land use change under the influence of a large dam reservoir construction is of particular interest especially in the TGR area, as shown by an increasing trend of published literature from 2001 to 2013 (Jiang et al 2016). Tremendous modifications to land use can result from reservoir construction projects due to reservoir impoundment, population migration and resettlement, and the reconstruction of counties and towns (Jackson and Sleigh 2000;Li et al 2001;Tullos 2009;Seeber et al 2010;Zhao et al 2013).…”

The impact of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) construction on land use change has attracted worldwide concern. However, quantitative evidence is lacking for the drivers of land use change resulting from the TGR during and after construction. We used the Pengxi River basin, located upstream of the Three Gorges dam, to evaluate the effects of large-scale hydrological engineering on land use. Landsat remote sensing images from 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 covering the main construction period of the TGR were obtained. The largest changes were the conversion of land to water bodies and built-up areas, corresponding to reservoir impoundment and population resettlement during TGR construction. These changes were more intensive downstream of the TGR and closer to the river. Compared with 2000-2005, the expansion in water bodies during 2005-2010 moved from lower to higher elevations. The distribution of built-up land during the two periods was similar, mainly because the planned resettlement zones were fixed and spatially concentrated. Geographical and environmental factors, such as elevation, slope, location, soil type and precipitation, still controlled land use patterns. Land use pattern in 2020 under two scenarios was simulated using a multi-criteria evaluation cellular automata-Markov model. Scenario 2 was more realistic and helpful for management decisions. The scenarios highlighted the indirect influences of TGR construction on land use change after 2010. Indirect driving forces were mainly reflected through related policies or plans, especially from the perspective of water conservation in the newly built reservoir.

There is a knowledge gap and practical demand to understand the relationship between capitals for developing sustainable livelihoods to realize poverty reduction and sustainable development, in particular for the smallholder farmers. This paper intends to make sights into an important livelihood challenge faced by smallholder farmers, which also aims to find out strategy (ies) in accelerating smallholder farmers' poverty reduction and achieving sustainable development. More specifically, we used a hybrid approach by adopting both qualitative and quantitative methods along with the concept of sustainable livelihood approach to reveal six capitals of farmers' household capacity and their potential relationships. Based on an analysis of Grounded Theory for smallholder farmers, we proposed a newly built framework for smallholder farmers' sustainable livelihoods by taking the Psychological capital (Psycap) into the sustainable livelihoods' assets. With a total sample of 796 households representing 26 counties in Three Gorges Reservoir Region (TGRR) in China, we adopted the Structural Equation Modelling using partial least squares (PLS‐SEM) to explore the key factors and key paths affecting smallholder farmers' sustainable livelihoods. Results indicate that Psycap can effectively promote the performance of Human capital (Humcap) and Physical capital (Phycap), with both significant direct and significant indirect effects on sustainable livelihoods; Phycap and Humcap have significant impacts on the new sustainable livelihood index. Finally, this paper proposed corresponding policy recommendations for poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihoods of smallholder farmers. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
