“…Likewise, this study prioritizes the issue of employment represented by the SDI8 and SDI5. In this regard, SDI8 refers to the rate of labor formality due to the high labor informality in Medellin and in Colombia, which has been accentuated during the confinement of the Covid-19 pandemic (Han, et al, 2021), so it will likely continue to persist as a priority in upcoming quality of life surveys. In the case of SDI5, which refers to gender equity when measuring the percentage of women working in public positions, it is important to improve the values of this indicator because it presents values lower than those required by the United Nations, and lower than the national average, for which it is necessary to promote the participation of women so that they can be elected for public office.…”

“…For example, in Hunan, Province of China, a study showed that SDG priorities varied from urban to provincial, however, the trend shows that priorities focus on sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), life on earth (SDG 15), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) (Han et al, 2021). This study coincides with the work of Sánchez et al (2018) for different cities in Nordic countries, identifying the trend of prioritizing the SDGs is centered on SDG 11…”

This article proposes a governance approach for the prioritization of sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the city of Medellín (Colombia, South America). The governance approach proposed in this study stems from the articulation of technical and participatory approaches. The technical approach took as reference the document CONPES 3918, which defines the national sustainable development agenda in Colombia. The participatory approach was supported by the Medellín Citizen Perception Survey, which reflects the most important aspects of the quality of life for citizens. The results indicate that priorities for sustainable development in Medellín should be oriented to SDG 17, SDG 3, SDG 8, SDG 5, and SDG 4. The consistency test (CR) indicates the instrument applied is consistent.

“…With the rapid development of the social economy, the disposable income of farmers has been significantly improved, and its urbanization rate has increased from 29.75% in 2000 to 58.76% in 2020. However, due to the geographical conditions, the industrial structure and economic development of various regions in Hunan Province are quite different, resulting in the structure and functional space of RRL being significantly differentiated, which is mainly reflected in the scattered layout of RRL, a high degree of fragmentation, and obvious differences in hollowing (Tang et al, 2018;Han et al, 2021), especially in natural reserves and non-natural reserves. Therefore, this article selects Hunan Province with the characteristics of typical natural reserves and non-natural reserves as the research area, which has strong practical significance for the multifunctional promotion and coordinated optimization of RRL.…”

The rural residential land (RRL) in natural reserves has been deeply transformed due to the disturbance constrained by ecological protection policies. Exploring the distribution characteristics and driving factors of RRL in natural reserves and non-natural reserves will help to promote the governance of land space and alleviate the contradiction of land use. Therefore, taking 122 county-level administrative regions in Hunan Province as an example, this article analyzes and compares the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of RRL in natural reserves and non-natural reserves by using land use change dynamics, nuclear density analysis, the transfer matrix model, and the ordinary least-squares model and explores how the establishment of natural reserves affects the RRL area change. The results show that (1) the overall RRL area in Hunan changed from 171,162.27 hm2 in 2000 to 169,914.6 hm2 in 2020, with a total reduction of 1,247.67 hm2 and a decrease of 0.73%, and the distribution of the RRL area change presented a hot trend in the northeast and a cold trend in the southwest. (2) The occupation of urban construction land is the main reason for the reduction in RRL area, and the transformation of cultivated land and forestland into RRL is the main source of the increase in RRL area. (3) During 2000–2020, the overall RRL in natural reserves increased by 1,538.37 hm2, with an increase of 0.11%, while the overall RRL in non-natural reserves decreased by 2,786.04 hm2, with a decrease of 0.14%. (4) The establishment of natural reserves has a significant negative correlation with the area of RRL in 2000, 2010, and 2020, indicating that the establishment of natural reserves can limit the growth speed of the RRL area to a certain extent, but is affected by factors such as economic development and rural population growth; it cannot directly promote the overall reduction of RRL area. The results of this study can provide a reference for decision-making related to the spatial structure optimization of natural reserves and non-natural protected RRL and the coordinated development of urban and rural areas.

“…Hunan Province is located in central China, between the relatively poor western China and the relatively wealthy eastern China and has a relatively developed economy. However, there are obvious regional development imbalances in Hunan Province [55]. In 2018, the difference between the county with the highest per capita GDP in Hunan Province and the county with the lowest per capita GDP was 14.75 times.…”

Eliminating all forms of poverty in the world is the first United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Developing a scientific and feasible method for monitoring and evaluating local poverty is important for the implementation of the SDG agenda. Based on the 2030 United Nations SDGs, in this paper, a quantitative evaluation model is built and applied to all poverty-stricken counties in Hunan Province. First, based on the SDG global index framework and local index system of China, a local SDG index system for poverty-related goals is designed, and the weights of the indexes are derived using an entropy method. The scores obtained for counties and districts with data available are then taken as the true value for the poverty assessment. Second, using National Polar-orbiting Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP-VIIRS) nighttime light images and land use and digital elevation model data, six factors, including socioeconomic, land cover, terrain and traffic factors, are extracted. Third, we then construct multiple linear evaluation models of poverty targets defined by the SDGs and machine learning evaluation models, including regression trees, support vector machines, Gaussian process regressions and ensemble trees. Last, combined with statistical data of poverty-stricken counties in Hunan Province, model validation and accuracy evaluation are carried out. The results show that the R2 and relative error of the localized, multiple linear evaluation model, including all six factors, are 0.76 and 19.12%, respectively. The poverty-stricken counties in Hunan Province were spatially aggregated and distributed mainly in the southeastern and northwestern regions. The proposed method for regional poverty assessment based on multisource geographic data provides an effective poverty monitoring reference scheme for the implementation of the poverty eradication goals in the 2030 agenda.
