“…According to the “Special Report on Climate Change and Land” released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2019, agriculture, forestry, and other land types account for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions, and the carbon dioxide absorbed by natural land processes is almost equivalent to 1/3 of the carbon emissions released by fossil fuels and industry [ 2 ]. The use of land, its structure, and the intensity of use are closely related to socioeconomic development and this profoundly impacts the ecological environment and the well-being of humans in a region [ 3 , 4 ]. Therefore, rational regulation of land use to achieve carbon reduction goals becomes an important measure for sustainable development in countries around the world.…”

Human activities and land transformation are important factors in the growth of carbon emissions. In recent years, construction land for urban use in China has expanded rapidly. At the same time, carbon emissions in China are among the highest in the world. However, little is known about the relationship between the two factors. This study seeks to estimate the carbon emissions and carbon sequestrations of various types of land based on the land cover data of 137 county-level administrative regions in Shandong Province, China, from 2000 to 2020.The study estimated the carbon emissions for energy consumption using energy consumption data and night-time light images, hence, net carbon emissions. The Tapio decoupling coefficient was used to analyze the decoupling between the net carbon emissions and construction land, and where the model for the decoupling effort was constructed to explore the driving factors of decoupling. The results showed that net carbon emissions in Shandong Province continued to increase, and the areas with high carbon emissions were concentrated primarily in specific districts of the province. The relationship between net carbon emissions and construction land evolved from an expansive negative decoupling type to a strong negative decoupling type. Spatially, most areas in the province featured an expansive negative decoupling, but the areas with a strong negative decoupling have gradually increased. The intensive rate of land use and efficiencies in technological innovation have restrained carbon emissions, and they have contributed to an ideal decoupling situation. Although the intensity of carbon emission and the size of the population have restrained carbon emissions, efforts towards decoupling have faded. The degree of land use has facilitated carbon emissions, and in recent years, efforts have been made to achieve an ideal decoupling. The method of estimation of net carbon emissions devised in this research can lend itself to studies on other regions, and the conclusions provide a reference for China, going forward, to balance urbanization and carbon emissions.

“…From the existing research direction of ecotourism, most of the research focuses on the development mode of ecotourism, existing problems, and countermeasures. Many studies classify the characteristics of ecotourism resources, but most of them integrate and reorganize the existing materials and resources, mostly focusing on the introduction of ecotourism-related situations [29,30]. ere is relatively little literature evaluating ecotourism from the perspective of practical statistical data.…”

The comprehensive evaluation of ecotourism resources in the Qinling Mountains scenic spot using the AHP method can provide a reference for the sustainable construction and development of ecotourism resources, as well as the development of other tourism areas. Based on the analytic hierarchy process, the evaluation system of Qinling Mountain Ecotourism Resources is constructed, and the construction system is used to evaluate tourism ecological resources. The results show that, among the subtarget levels, the highest score is the interaction of tourism areas in the same region and the second is the applicability of regulations. These two indicators have a high impact on the score of Qinling Mountain Ecotourism Resources. In the project layer, the source of passenger flow has the largest weight, which is 0.1717, and the distribution of resource types has a smaller weight. At the index level, participation needs to be considered for tourism participation design. The Qinling scenic area has high historical and cultural value, diverse resource types, good tourist source market conditions, and great tourism development potential. However, problems exist, such as low resource aggregation and imperfect tourism supporting facilities development. It is necessary to develop ecotourism resources on the premise of ensuring environmental quality while taking into account the in-depth excavation of the experience and ornamental values of tourism resources, establishing the tourism characteristics of scenic spots from many aspects, such as improving tourism participation.

The high land conversion rate to other sectors has led the government to issue Law No. 41 in 2009 concerning Protection of Sustainable Agricultural Land (SAL). The study aims to identify the distribution of sustainable agricultural land uses and determine agricultural land-use changes from 2016 to 2019 and determine farmers' understanding of sustainable agricultural land control in the strategic area of Garut Regency. We overlaid the land use maps of Garut Regency in 2016 and 2019 and conducted a survey using an online questionnaire with a Google form. The research location is in five districts in Garut Regency. The results showed no land conversion in the area of existing sustainable agricultural land in Garut Regency. The total rice field area is 6,081 hectares, with about 24% is sustainable agricultural land. From 2016 to 2019, the rice field area decreased by 12 hectares. The farmers' awareness of SAL tends to be more likely aware of the sustainable agricultural land area, as many as 39% of farmers aware of sustainable agricultural land. The incentives given to farmers who control sustainable agricultural land are tax deduction, agricultural infrastructure supply, agricultural production facilities subsidies, and land certification facilities. The majority of the respondents are aware of these incentives. In conclusion, no sustainable agricultural land is converted, even though changes occur in non-sustainable agricultural land. The impact of this study is for recommendations to the government in sustainable agricultural land management.
