“…Regionally, contextual factors such as cultural preferences, biophysical characteristics, institutional arrangements, prevailing socio-economic conditions, and policy initiatives may mitigate the impacts of global drivers in rural areas and specifically in marginal territories [23]. For instance, Mack et al [26], in their recent research, found that indirect drivers such as migration and migrant money flow of remittances have a strong impact on land systems and consequently on land change. Another study of local drivers carried out by Tahmasebi [27] suggests that, in rural areas, other often neglected factors such as psychological drivers can also have a strong impact on how land users make their decisions about land practices.…”

This study examines the dynamics of land use and land cover change (LULCC) in the Gargano area (Southern Italy) to reveal crucial insights into the socio-economic and environmental impacts on its unique natural and cultural resources. This analysis was conducted using a mixed approach of GIS data and expert interviews to investigate significant changes in the Gargano area, from 2000 to 2018, and their drivers. Artificial surfaces gained 22% of their original surfaces, while heterogeneous areas and pastures lost 25% and 78%, respectively. Urbanization and deforestation emerged as major concerns, reflecting heightened sensitivity to these transformative processes. Agricultural intensification and support policies were perceived as potential pressure sources on specific natural components. Conversely, these drivers counteracted land abandonment. Drivers such as education level and agricultural extensification were seen as levers for a more desirable land cover dynamic. Identified actions include providing targeted support for agriculture within environmental constraints, addressing land ownership fragmentation, supporting agricultural extensification, and promoting environmental awareness.

“…To tackle the challenges posed by these distant causal relationships in land use changes, the telecoupling land system framework has been proposed since the 2010s [38,39]. Telecoupling land systems can be driven by various factors, including globalisation, migration, trade, and technological advances [28,40,41]. For example, Seto et al (2012) [42] introduced a conceptual framework for urban land teleconnections, which captures the reciprocal changes between urban and rural areas.…”

How Semi-Urbanisation Drives Expansion of Rural Construction Land in China: A Rural-Urban Interaction Perspective

The expansion of rural construction land in China has led to ecological consequences under the context of rural depopulation, despite government land use controls. While previous studies have investigated the local factors contributing to the expansion of rural construction land, the semi-urbanisation of urban immigrants distant from rural areas has received less attention. To better understand the connections between the semi-urbanisation in the urban areas and the construction land expansion in rural areas, this study constructed a network/spatial lag of N/X (N/SLX) model that incorporated the network lagged term of the socio-economic traits of semi-urbanised migrants to analyse how urban semi-urbanisation influenced rural construction land. Our findings suggest that both the income of rural-urban migrants and the difficulty of obtaining urban household registration are positively correlated with the expanding extent of rural construction land. Conversely, the living expenses of migrants and city economic development are negatively correlated with that of rural construction land. Considering our findings, we propose that policies facilitating the settlement and integration of rural out-migrants into cities and proceeding urbanisation based on county towns are crucial to curb the inefficient expansion of rural construction land.
