“…Si bien existen antecedentes, a nivel mundial y nacional, que sistematizan y analizan las prácticas de MST desarrolladas a nivel local en diversos ecosistemas, estas se han concentrado principalmente en territorios rurales, sin prestarle mayor atención a las particularidades de los territorios de interfaz urbano-rural e irrigados-no irrigados (Rubio et al, 2021;Sales et al, 2022;SAyDS, 2019). El abordaje de estas áreas comprende un enfoque relativamente nuevo para el MST.…”

Desde hace varias décadas, la urbanización en Latinoamérica se caracteriza principalmente por presentar un patrón disperso. Particularmente en este artículo, resulta de interés indagar los territorios de interfaz conformados por la expansión urbana sobre territorios rurales teniendo en cuenta el concepto de 'frontera' como anclaje teórico. En este contexto, surgen interrogantes acerca de las singularidades que caracterizan las áreas de interfaz de las fronteras urbano-rurales y cómo identificar estas particularidades de manera empírica. Por esto, el objetivo del presente trabajo es elaborar una propuesta en la que se definen criterios básicos para abordar las áreas de interfaz urbano-rural en tierras secas. Para esto, se seleccionó como caso de estudio el distrito Vertientes del Pedemonte, Luján de Cuyo, localizado en el piedemonte del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza (Argentina). Se adoptó una metodología mayormente cualitativa ya que se combinaron técnicas documentales, conversacionales y observacionales. Se realizaron salidas a campo, relevamientos in situ, notas de campo y conversaciones informales con habitantes locales para identificar dimensiones y criterios socioambientales. Se sostiene que la definición de criterios socioambientales para el abordaje de los territorios de interfaz en la frontera urbano-rural es una herramienta útil para las políticas públicas de ordenamiento territorial. Palabras clave: tierras secas; ordenamiento territorial; periurbano; expansión urbana; actores sociales.

“…Mapping at a more detailed level is pivotal to extrapolate the results of studies to the scale needed by farmers to decide how to manage their lands. In this way, technical and socioeconomic constraints can be reduced, while incentives for community participation in sustainable land management initiatives can be promoted, as made possible by a recent initiative from Argentina [168,169]. Their methodology combined collective mapping with GIS-and RS-derived parameters, including LULC.…”

Mapping South America’s Drylands through Remote Sensing—A Review of the Methodological Trends and Current Challenges

et al. 2022

The scientific grasp of the distribution and dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) changes in South America is still limited. This is especially true for the continent’s hyperarid, arid, semiarid, and dry subhumid zones, collectively known as drylands, which are under-represented ecosystems that are highly threatened by climate change and human activity. Maps of LULC in drylands are, thus, essential in order to investigate their vulnerability to both natural and anthropogenic impacts. This paper comprehensively reviewed existing mapping initiatives of South America’s drylands to discuss the main knowledge gaps, as well as central methodological trends and challenges, for advancing our understanding of LULC dynamics in these fragile ecosystems. Our review centered on five essential aspects of remote-sensing-based LULC mapping: scale, datasets, classification techniques, number of classes (legends), and validation protocols. The results indicated that the Landsat sensor dataset was the most frequently used, followed by AVHRR and MODIS, and no studies used recently available high-resolution satellite sensors. Machine learning algorithms emerged as a broadly employed methodology for land cover classification in South America. Still, such advancement in classification methods did not yet reflect in the upsurge of detailed mapping of dryland vegetation types and functional groups. Among the 23 mapping initiatives, the number of LULC classes in their respective legends varied from 6 to 39, with 1 to 14 classes representing drylands. Validation protocols included fieldwork and automatic processes with sampling strategies ranging from solely random to stratified approaches. Finally, we discussed the opportunities and challenges for advancing research on desertification, climate change, fire mapping, and the resilience of dryland populations. By and large, multi-level studies for dryland vegetation mapping are still lacking.

“…The existing research results mainly focus on the land use, changes in coverage, land use planning and its implementation evaluation, sustainable development of oasis cities, population growth, and human activities in drylands and deserts. The achievements made in the research include dynamic tracking of land use and coverage changes in multi temporal and spatial scales [28,29], establishment of land use dynamic simulation and urban expansion prediction models [30,31], analysis of the impact of urbanization and income level on vegetation coverage [32], simulation and planning of land use changes based on the conversion of land use-mondo model [33], investigation of the impact of property rights on land use change patterns [34], the impact of land use and coverage changes on regional sustainable development and regional development policies [35], analysis of the role of land use planning in the sustainable development of drylands and deserts [36], and research on the sustainability of garden city development in deserts [37].…”

Population migration is a major event of optimizing the allocation of production factors and a key way to construct regional relations and promote spatial reconstruction. However, there are few papers published on population migration that have a direct impact on the sustainable development of deserts owing to the more sensitive and complex man–earth relationship. Therefore, it is important to study the laws and characteristics of population migration in such regions. The study of Egypt by Zipf’s law shows that the spatial distribution of migration population size conforms to the law of power function with fractal characteristics of different types. The migration population is generally in a “Pareto” state in spatial distribution. Decentralization power is the leading driving force of spatial distribution, and scale-free regional distribution shows significant spatial agglomeration and gradient. Limited by research scope and “heavy tail” factors, Zipf’s law is not completely applicable. The spatial pattern and flow field characteristics of the migration population are analyzed in this paper by the conversion from “structural fractal” to “spatial fractal” based on scale-free geographic projection, providing the reference for the formulation of population governance policies and spatial planning strategies in Egypt and more desert countries.
