“…The weather is hot and rainy in summer and mild and rainy in winter [ 41 ]. In terms of the topographic distribution, mountains and hills cover 70.4% of the total area, with the main mountain extending in a southwest–northeast direction [ 42 ]. There are 11 cities and 90 districts and counties in Zhejiang Province.…”

Human–wildlife conflicts are becoming increasingly common worldwide and are a challenge to biodiversity management. Compared with compensatory management, which often focuses on solving emergency conflicts, mitigation management allows decision-makers to better understand where the damage is distributed, how the species are distributed and when the species conduct their activity. Here, we integrated data collected from 90 districts/counties’ damage surveys and 1271 camera traps to understand the damage status, abundance, density and activity rhythms of wild boar (Sus scrofa) in Zhejiang, Eastern China, from January 2019 to August 2023. We found that (1) wild boar–human conflicts were mainly distributed in the northwest and southwest mountainous regions of Zhejiang Province (2) the total abundance of wild boar was 115,156 ± 24,072 individuals, indicating a growing trend over the past decade and a higher density in the western and southern regions; (3) wild boar exhibited different activity patterns across different damage regions, and the periods around 7:00, 11:00 and 16:00 represented activity peaks for wild boar in seriously damaged regions. The damage distribution, density, distribution and activity rhythms provide specific priority regions and activity intensity peaks for conflict mitigation. We believe that these findings based on the damage, distribution and activity could provide a scientific basis for mitigation management at the county level and enrich the framework of human–wildlife conflict mitigation.

“…Secondly, some studies have incorporated eco-environmental indicators in the assessment of livability, including temperature, hydrology, air quality (e.g. ambient concentration of NOx, PM2.5 and other pollutants), or waste management (Wang et al, 2020). Air quality is an important dimension in evaluating the livability of a city, mainly reflecting the average level of pollution concentration.…”

Urban livability has become a major policy and practice priority in many parts of the world, but its attainment remains challenging in many cities of developing and emerging economies. The lack of data with appropriate quality, coverage, and spatial/temporal resolution often complicates the assessment of livability in such cities, and the identification of priority areas for improvement. Here we develop an innovative framework to mobilize and synthesize open-source data to analyze spatially urban livability patterns in Shanghai. The framework brings together diverse open-source data such as housing prices, population distribution, transportation networks, and points of interest to identify city areas with low livability, and thus priority areas for improvement. Such findings can provide a comprehensive overview of the residential living environment in Shanghai, as well as provide useful information to urban planners and decision-makers. Furthermore, the developed method has the potential for application in other cities, subject to data availability.

“…Based on suitability of settlements, this paper discusses the sustainable development and planning optimization of settlements (Liu et al, 2020;Ru no et al, 2019;Ali and Ahmad, 2020). Suitability is the basis of the development and layout of settlements (Buruso, 2018;Fabrizio et al, 2019;Anand et al, 2020;Talukdar et al, 2020), which is closely related to the sustainable development of settlements (Wang et al, 2020;Megahed, 2020;Da Costa et al, 2018).…”

The comprehensive suitability of regional human settlements is of great significance to the development and spatial distribution of regional human settlements and regional social and economic development. In this study, based on the traditional evaluation of the natural suitability of the human settlements, this study adds humanistic indicators to comprehensively evaluate the suitability of the human settlements in Liaoning, China. In particular, we sought to uncover the spatial differentiation law of the comprehensive suitability of these settlements and its correlations with population density and GDP density, provide a theoretical basis for urban human settlements planning and governance. The main conclusions were as follows: (1) the natural suitability index in Liaoning Province presents the law of longitudinal spatial differentiation from northeast to southwest, which follows the direction of the mountains; (2) the highest to lowest humanistic suitability indexes were as follows: the central, eastern, and western regions; (3) the highest to lowest spatial differentiations of the comprehensive suitability of the human settlements were as follows: the central and coastal, eastern, and western regions;(4) the spatial distribution of population–economy density in Liaoning Province was basically consistent with the spatial distribution of the comprehensive suitability index of human settlements, The population economy is concentrated in the areas with the best and moderate human settlements. Ultimately, we found that the distributions of population–economy and human settlement suitability were relatively coordinated and that highly suitable land was already fully utilized.
