“…In this kind of land system, farmland and rural housing land are tightly inter-related with human production activities, and are treated as the two most important land-use types depicting urban-rural development in China (Long et al, 2009). Currently, farmland and rural housing land change in China has attracted the interest in academic circles, ranging from farmland loss due to urbanization and farmland preservation (Tan et al, 2009(Tan et al, , 2011Wang et al, 2010;Gong et al, 2012;Xi et al, 2012), rural settlement and housing land expansion (Peng et al, 2008;Su et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2010), spatio-temporal dynamic pattern of land-use change (Tian et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2008Liu et al, , 2010aLong et al, 2009), to driving forces analysis and simulation (Xie et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2010b;Zhan et al, 2010). However, the research on the coupling interaction of farmland and rural housing land transition has found much less attention.…”

Abstract:Land use transition refers to the changes in land use morphology (both dominant morphology and recessive morphology) of a certain region over a certain period of time driven by socio-economic change and innovation, and it usually corresponds to the transition of socio-economic development phase. In China, farmland and rural housing land are the two major sources of land use transition. This paper analyzes the spatio-temporal coupling characteristics of farmland and rural housing land transition in China, using high-resolution Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) data in 2000 and 2008, and the data from the Ministry of Land and Resources of China. The outcomes indicated that: (1) during 2000-2008, the correlation coefficient of farmland vs. rural housing land change is -0.921, and it shows that the change pattern of farmland and rural housing land is uncoordinated; (2) the result of Spearman rank correlation analysis shows that rural housing land change has played a major role in the mutual transformation of farmland and rural housing land; and (3) it shows a high-degree spatial coupling between farmland and rural housing land change in southeast China during [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008]. In general, farmland and rural housing land transition in China is driven by socio-economic, bio-physical and managerial three-dimensional driving factors through the interactions among rural population, farmland and rural housing land. However, the spatio-temporal coupling phenomenon and mechanism of farmland and rural housing land transition in China are largely due to the "dual-track" structure of rural-urban development.

“…Sarvestani et al [27] use remotely sensed imagery and GIS to quantify and map the spatial dispersion of Shiraz, Iran from 1976 to 2005. Overall, the literature addressing land resource impacts from both developed and developing countries are comparable in their methodologies with remote sensing and GIS tending to play a prominent role [3,17,18,20,27,37,51,55,63].…”

“…These articles typically adopt a longitudinal approach when describing or analysing urban sprawl [18,33,37,48]. The land conversion aspect of sprawl is often a central concern, which in part explains the increasing popularity of remote sensing and scenario analysis as research methods.…”

“…[57] We were able to identify fewer articles from developing country contexts that focus on land resources. Two articles [37,38] consider outward growth from cities in China as a threat to farmland along the fringe, while Fazal [18] documents similar patterns of prime farmland loss around Saharanpur City in northern India. Sarvestani et al [27] use remotely sensed imagery and GIS to quantify and map the spatial dispersion of Shiraz, Iran from 1976 to 2005.…”

“…Küçükmehmetoğlu and Geymen [34] contend that a lack of planning and enforcement of existing regulations designed to protect water supply watersheds has led to sprawling development within the Istanbul metropolitan area. In China, a lack of planning is not generally considered to be an underlying driver of urban sprawl, but rather the result of the inability of central planners to consider the full range of impacts associated with development decisions [14,37]. As these studies attest, policy decisions can have far-reaching and unanticipated consequences with uncoordinated or otherwise inadequate planning efforts as commonly cited contributors to sprawling development across geographic contexts.…”

The Environmental Impacts of Sprawl: Emergent Themes from the Past Decade of Planning Research

Abstract:This article reviews studies published in English language planning journals since 2001 that focus on the environmental impacts of sprawl. We organise our analysis of the reviewed literature around: (1) the conceptualisation or measurement of sprawl; (2) a comparison of research methods employed and findings with respect to four categories of environmental impacts-air, energy, land, and water; and (3) an exploration of emergent and cross-cutting themes. We hypothesise that the trend towards breaking down silos observable in other areas of planning scholarship is also reflected in the recent sprawl literature and structure our review to test this proposition. International in scope, our work demonstrates how focusing on outcomes can facilitate balanced comparisons across geographic contexts with varying rates of urbanisation and affluence. We find that the sprawl research published in planning journals over the past decade frequently engages with broader themes of resilience and justice, increasingly considers multiple environmental outcomes, and suggests a convergence in the way sprawl is studied that transcends national boundaries as well as the developing-developed country dichotomy.

The process of compact development of rural settlements in the North China Plain is influenced by centralised control of planning spaces and a deficiency of self-built spaces, thereby resulting in a crisis of spatial characteristics. This essay considers the mutually driving effects of top-down planning spaces and bottom-up self-built spaces as well as the corresponding dynamic mechanisms of unified construction and self-help construction formed in spatial system evolution. The goal is to explore a method applicable for the organisation, evolution and generation of compact rural settlements. Furthermore, the essay defines generative rules governing planning and self-built spaces in spatio-temporal evolution for a model applicable to rural settlements. It is a co-evolution model accompanied by suitable algorithms and codes so that initial information and relevant rules can be inputted in Python. Automatically generated spatial data are outputted to visual software for generative design.
