Relationships among village spatial form, electricity use, and photovoltaic potential: Evidence from 120 villages in Huaiyuan County, China

Village areas cover 94.7% of the land in China and are carriers for energy use and renewables. To support national decarbonization strategy, it is essential to devise proper village decarbonization measures. Understanding the relationships among village spatial form, electricity use and photovoltaic potential is critical to provide empirical references. However, due to the scarcity of spatial form and electricity use data, previous studies have been mostly conducted by simplified simulation models, making it difficult to reveal actual relationships accurately. This study proposed a framework to explore the relationship among spatial form, socioeconomic factors, and comprehensive energy use and photovoltaic potential. Electricity use, socioeconomic status, and 3D models of 120 villages in Huaiyuan, China, were collected by investigation and oblique photography. These villages were clustered into three types by the k-means. Photovoltaic potential was analyzed by numerical models upon 3D spatial forms. Quantitative analysis of spatial form, electricity use intensity, electricity generation intensity, net energy use intensity (NEUI) in each cluster were carried out. The average electricity use intensity is 1.87 GWh/m2/y, and the highest energy generation intensity reaches 9.67 GWh/m2/y. Cluster A showed the best performance in NEUI and had the greatest potential for photovoltaic deployment. Average building height, registered resident population, and average building width were the relevant factors to the NEUI in Clusters A, B, and C. The findings provided a framework for other regions to explore factors related to energy use based on actual data, and a reference for low-carbon village policy in China.

Design for policy strengthening: Analysis of forest fire disaster mitigation governance through ecotourism development integration in Siak Regency

This study aims to explain the design of policy strengthening in forest and land fire disaster mitigation governance, through the integration of ecotourism development in Siak Regency. Based on the research topic, this study employs a qualitative approach to describe governance conditions and the design of policy strengthening in ecotourism-based disaster mitigation governance. Data analysis is performed using Nvivo 12 Plus software. The results of this study indicate that forest and land fire disaster mitigation governance based on ecotourism development still has shortcomings that need to be addressed in the principles of conservation, economy, and community involvement. Then, the design of a policy to strengthen ecotourism-based disaster mitigation governance includes three crucial policy recommendations, namely: the need for special regulations related to forest and land fire disaster mitigation prevention based on the integration of ecotourism principle development, the need for a balance of roles between actors in determining and implementing ecotourism-based disaster mitigation policies, and the need for effective and efficient implementation of ecotourism-based disaster mitigation policies through increasing the involvement of strategic actors. Substantially, the handling of forest and land fire disasters in Siak Regency can be combined with ecotourism activities, especially in tourist village areas, by developing policies to strengthen the utilization of village-owned disaster mitigation facilities such as reservoirs, lakes, or ponds that are converted into water supplies during the dry season for forest and land fire disaster prevention activities and local economy-based tourist destinations. Our findings are a strategic effort to raise awareness among actors and highlight the need for policy-strengthening design in ecotourism-based disaster mitigation. These findings can also contribute to the literature that will be useful for all stakeholders in developing future long-term disaster mitigation governance policies. This study relies heavily on information from key informants, who represent only the perspectives and expertise of the stakeholders encountered. However, it still refers to important elements based on the informants’ knowledge capabilities in the disaster and tourism sectors. Therefore, we propose to conduct future studies on a comprehensive analysis of sustainable ecotourism-based disaster mitigation governance to promote and accelerate the idea of disaster and tourism in the future.

A Spatial Landslide Risk Assessment Based on Hazard, Vulnerability, Exposure, and Adaptive Capacity

Landslides threaten human life, property, and vital infrastructure in most mountainous regions. As climate change intensifies extreme weather patterns, the landslide risk is likely to increase, resulting in challenges for disaster management, sustainability development, and community resilience. This study presents a comprehensive framework for assessing landslide risk, integrating advanced machine learning models with the Iyengar–Sudarshan method. Our case study is Son La province, the Northwest region of Vietnam, with data collected from 1771 historical landslide occurrences and fifteen influencing factors for developing landslide susceptibility maps using advanced ensemble machine learning models. The Iyengar–Sudarshan method was applied to determine the weights for landslide exposure, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity indicators. The resulting landslide risk map shows that the highest-risk districts in Son La province are located in the central and northeastern regions, including Mai Son, Phu Yen, Thuan Chau, Yen Chau, Song Ma, and Bac Yen. These districts experience high landslide hazards, exposure, and vulnerability, often affecting densely populated urban and village areas with vulnerable populations, such as young children, the elderly, and working-age women. In contrast, due to minimal exposure, Quynh Nhai and Muong La districts have lower landslide risks. Despite having high exposure and vulnerability, Son La City is situated in a low-susceptibility zone with high adaptive capacity, resulting in a low landslide risk for this region. The proposed framework provides a reference tool for mitigating risk and enhancing strategic decision making in areas susceptible to landslides while advancing our understanding of landslide dynamics and fostering community resilience and long-term disaster prevention.

Names of village parts based on the onomastic material from ALR II

This paper analyses the names of village parts in the onomastic material recorded in the inquiry notebooks for ALR II and published by Doina Grecu, Ion Mării and Rodica Orza, being an attempt at their classification according to different linguistic criteria. Under the generic name of parts of the village, both communication routes (roads, streets, paths) and residential areas on the territory of the village (around the centre or on the outskirts of the village, clusters of isolated houses, hamlets) are identified. From the point of view of their origin, the names of village parts collected during ALR II investigation can be classified into three categories: 1. names based on a group name; 2. names based on other topical names; 3. names whose structure includes orientation landmarks. The names of com­munication routes are treated in a different category, because they often contain, in addition to an anthroponym, group names or toponyms, some orientation markers: downhill/from below, uphill/from above, etc. The second part of the article approaches the toponymic material according to the structure of the toponyms.
