“…The capacity of urban space to support the population is the foundation for sustaining the functioning of the living system. Meantime, with rapid socioeconomic development, the development of non‐agricultural industry and transport infrastructure efficiently ensures people's living standards (Cumming et al, 2014; Hutchings et al, 2022). Additionally, the recreational potential of living function is a vital requirement to safeguard the physical and mental health of people and enhance the overall living quality (Tibesigwa et al, 2020).…”

Construction land expansion greatly affects the supply and interaction of distinct land use functions, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas. However, existing research rarely focuses on the urban–rural gradient role of different construction land expansion processes in affecting the interactions between land use functions, which limits the refined high‐quality development of territorial space. Using the main urban area of Hangzhou as an example, this research analyzed the spatiotemporal transmission process of trade‐offs/synergies among distinct functions between urban and rural regions from the living‐production‐ecological function perspective, and probed the differences in the impact of distinct urban and rural construction land expansion processes on them across different urban–rural gradients, thereby proposing the urban–rural spatial development pathways for promoting synergistic territorial spatial patterns. The results showed that the changes in different functions had an obvious urban–rural gradient difference. During 2000–2020, the trade‐off between living function and other functions increased continuously, and regions with a higher trade‐off primarily shifted from urban development areas to urban–rural transition areas. The infilling and edge‐expansion of urban construction land were more favorable to the increased synergy between distinct functions; the infilling and edge‐expansion of rural construction land in urban development and urban–rural transition areas greatly reduced the functional trade‐off level, while its leapfrogging in rural development areas strongly affected the synergy between distinct functions. These findings can help to restrict unreasonable urban and rural construction land expansion processes as well as promote synergistic territorial space patterns in rapidly urbanizing regions.

“…In other hand, Peri-Urban turbulence explains how urban settlement can led to vulnable population and high rates of poverty through the process of rapid change due to population increase. As most of this emerging cities are found in Global South, increase pressure for high population densities can led to increase of calamities such as floods, drought, soil erosion and diseases (Hutchings et al, 2022). As the impact of heterogenous activities that can be traced every where in peri-urban Africa,in one space you can find farming, mining, squatter settlement, factories and transportation activities are going on.…”

“…The theory also commend that, world population will continue to grow and more peri-urban will emerge troughtout Global South, this will led to an increasingly urbanized planet, cities are expanding and will expand outwards to incoparate land around them (Hutchings et al, 2022). Peri-urban cities experience impacts in social, economic, and ecological angles; this led in disruption on provision of social services and social infrastructure, good example is availability of safe and clean water, also raise the question on sustainable human settlementas per sustainable development goals particularly goal number eleven.…”

This study assesses urbanization implications in water management around Lake Victoria in Mwanza. The study was conducted in Nyamagana and Misungwi districts by the use of data collected from April 2020 to June 2021. A total of 200 respondents participated in this study. The findings showed that, urbanization which is associated with various socio-economic activities caused destruction and pollution of water sources and the general ecosystem around Lake Victoria ecosystem. It concluded that, there was a direct relationship between urbanizations, pollution and degradation of the physical environment around Lake Victoria. The study recommended that land use plan and management must be applied to mobilize, facilitate and motivate local community based groups for participatory waste and overall water and land resources management around Lake Victoria basin

This study analyzed the socio-economic impacts of water projects on community livelihood in peri-urban Tanzania. It employed a cross-sectional research design, and a survey questionnaire was distributed to 353 households that were randomly selected by probability sampling procedures. Data were analysed using the logistic regression model. This study was guided by theory of Peri-Urban Turbulence (PUT) which is founded on the idea of changes in the balance and magnitude of natural and caused infrastructure and local and distant established arrangements during the transition, primarily in fast-growing urban areas of the Global South. The findings suggests the respondents’ year of schooling positively affect household access to water. Having one additional year of schooling may increase the chance to access to water facilities. Furthermore, the average household head’s monthly income was a significant explanatory variable at a one percent level of significance. Besides, non-farm activities were significantly associated to access to water. Nevertheless, the study identified the four major economic activities that the community engaged in as a result of water accessibility; male and female hair saloon salons, petty trading in village open auctions, vegetable gardening, and motorbike riding. Among of the four major economic activities performed, petty trading in the village open auction business is the most practiced. One can conclude that, the existence of water projects promotes socio- and economic development.
