“…Xochimilco and conservation of Oryzomys fulgens. In past, the Basin of México featured a landscape dominated by five large lakes, which would merge during the rainy season into one continuous water body, all surrounded by imposing mountains that impeded water drainage (Candiani 2014;Manley et al 2022). The major lakes in the area were Lake México-Texcoco, Lake Xochimilco, and Lake Chalco, with Zumpango and Xaltocan being smaller in size.…”

“…This five-lake water system has undergone countless anthropogenic alterations over two thousand years (Narchi 2014;Manley et al 2022). Humans have occupied the Basin of México in the last 20,000 years BC, and the population grew significantly with the rise of Tenochtitlan and even more with the arrival of the Spanish from the 13th to the 17th centuries.…”

“…Humans have occupied the Basin of México in the last 20,000 years BC, and the population grew significantly with the rise of Tenochtitlan and even more with the arrival of the Spanish from the 13th to the 17th centuries. Later, there was accelerated growth in the middle of the 20th century (Narchi 2014;Voss et al 2015), until it became the fifth largest urban area in the world with more than 22 million people, concentrating a large part of México's industrial, commercial, and political activity (Manley et al 2022;UN 2018). This rapid urban growth has multiple consequences at different scales, including: 1) Reduction of the original vegetation cover area, substituted by urban areas or cultivated fields (Ezcurra et al 1999;Merlín-Uribe et al 2013).…”

The rodents belonging to the genus Oryzomys are among the most widely distributed groups inhabiting North America. Currently, 13 species with continental, peninsular, or insular distributions are known. However, this genus also faces significant conservation challenges, primarily due to climate change and other human-related activities. One such enigmatic species is Oryzomys fulgens. Its main challenge lies in the fact that it was originally described from an imprecise type locality, simply labeled as "Mexico." Fortunately, recent research has delimited its range to the Basin of México. Nonetheless, the lack of comparison between its holotype and other specimens of the genus in México has hindered the accurate assignment of its name to any known taxon, despite being one of the oldest names within the genus, O. fulgens has rarely been used since its original description. During our research, we collected two specimens of O. fulgens from Xochimilco, México City, a remnant wetland situated within the Basin of México, nestled within one of the largest and most urbanized cities globally. To properly assess its taxonomic status, we compared our specimens with the holotype of O. fulgens, as well as with other species from southern and western México. The considerable morphological differences we observed in O. fulgens, coupled with its distinct and unique habitat as the sole species of the genus occupying temperate regions at high elevations, lead us to propose that it is indeed a distinct species, separate from O. mexicanus and O. albiventer. Historically, its distribution was likely limited to the Basin of México. Today, O. fulgens faces serious conservation problems, mainly due to the restriction of its current distribution, as far as we know, confined to Xochimilco. Although the ancestral agricultural system known as "chinampas" might provide an ideal environment for sustaining populations of this species, it remains under significant pressure from various human activities, predators, and competition with invasive species like the black rat. Urgent conservation efforts are needed to safeguard the unique habitat of O. fulgens and protect this enigmatic species from further decline.

Land use/land cover change (LULCC) is crucial for social and economic systems. For detecting LULCC, remote sensing technology has become crucial. This paper illustrated the use of remote sensing to monitor LULCC, with particular emphasis on urban planning and the ecological environment which is currently in the news, and the limitations of remote sensing. Remote sensing performs well in urban land cover change, urban growth analysis and urban heat island monitoring, giving these areas a effective way to solve problems. In ecological environment monitoring, it develops some new methods combined with computer science in vegetation monitoring. Meanwhile, more and more researchers focus on the wetland monitoring and ecosystem service evaluation. Remote sensing is anticipated to support the monitoring and study of LULCC in the future. This paper provides an overview of current study and developments in the application of remote sensing to track LULCC.

“…Moreover, many rural people migrating to urban areas (Giyarsih et al, 2013)which lead to rising legal and illegal slums. As a result, the changes in land use happening in urban areas also decrease settlement space (Akinwande & Hui, 2022;Manley et al, 2022;Tariq et al, 2022;Zheng et al, 2021). This reality must be faced by metropolises in Indonesia, including the Special Region of Yogyakarta.…”

Rapid urban growth often causes housing problems resulting from diminishing settlement areas. Rent flats is therefore considered to be the solution for utilizing small spaces. This research investigates how dynamic psychological prosperities affect residents of average-rent flats. Specifically, this research aims to achieve housing well-being by identifying the primary needs of housing well-being to encounter prosperous psychological problems. The present research is conducted in Region of Yogyakarta rent flats, Rusunawa Dabag and employed an action research approach to resolve the main questions answered by six steps. They are the entrance, taking diagnosis, action planning, action taking, evaluation, and reflection. The result of the data analysis finds that the problems of social control and a sense of community in interacting dynamically between individuals and their residences implicate cognitive, affective, and attitude processes. Based on the process and the result of the research, prompts are needed to achieve a harmonic situation to live in a vertical residence for aspirant residents, representative residents as a community, and administrators. The prompts are in the form of training aimed at developing preparation in understanding changes in living habits from landed houses to vertical flats for new residents. Furthermore, this research also revealed that the tenants of Dabag Rusunawa apply guyub (alliance), rukun (cordiality), and, tertib (orderly) as the main indicators in providing a sense of Pomah (a sense of comfort and prosperity at home).
