Assessment of ecological security risk in rocky desertification area based on land-use change model

Social and economic development, production and living needs, other human behavior requirements and various ecological engineering construction are considered as the main influencing factors of land spatial pattern changes and land ecological security risks in rocky desertification areas. From the perspective of land-use spatial change, the impact of human activities and resource utilization on land ecological security risks can be more intuitively analyzed. Based on the land-use change survey data of Phase 4 of Honghe Prefecture, China, the study measures the characteristics of land-use transfer flow and land-use dynamic change, analyzes the main influencing factors and comprehensively constructs the land ecological security risk index model, on which the land ecological security risk is classified. The results showed that the land ecological security risk degree in the three stages of the study area from 2014 to 2020 was 2016–2018 > 2018–2020 > 2014–2016, and had obvious regional characteristics. Among many influencing factors, the different activities/projects (positive or negative) types, time and intensity affect the land-use transfer flow and dynamic change characteristics, resulting in corresponding changes in the risk of land-use ecological security. Among them, man-made destruction and construction activities have the most significant negative effects on land ecological status. The empirical analysis proved that building an ecological security risk index based on the direction, area, and rate of spatial changes in land-use can accurately reflect the degree of desertification risk in rocky desertification areas. The study results can provide important information on the impact of regional development and the environmental governance policies of the land-use change in rocky desertification areas.

The Growth of Service Sectors, Institutional Environment and Quality Development in China’s Manufacturing

The path of exploring the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry has become one of the focus issues in China. In terms of experience, the impact of service sector growth on the quality of China’s manufacturing industry is unclear. Therefore, institutional environment is incorporated in the research frame, and the Sys-GMM is used to estimate the relationship between them based on China’s provincial panel data from 2010 to 2020. The main results showed that: (1) Both the service sector growth and institutional environment can improve the quality of manufacturing development, and they have a significant interaction. (2) The impact of service sector growth on the quality of manufacturing industry decreases in the eastern, central and western regions of China. The expansion of foreign direct investment in services cannot significantly improve the quality development in China’s manufacturing, and there is no obvious interaction between SFDI and the institutional environment. However, the domestically funded service sector is the opposite. The main contribution of this paper is to empirically verify the impact of service sector growth on the quality of manufacturing development in China, and consider the differences in the impact of regional development of service sectors and the heterogeneity of investment subjects. In addition, from the perspective of system development, this article considers the influence of the institutional environment, so as to analyze the former’s impact on the latter in more detail.

Regional development and its impact on mexican society

Addressing the challenge of regional development in Mexico, a priority for authorities and society requires a holistic integration of economic and social policies geared towards sustainability. This research focused on deliberating about the impact of regional development on Mexican culture, adopting a qualitative paradigm, and conducting an exploratory study through a robust documentary review guided by a scientometric analysis. Databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect were accessed without language restrictions, using descriptors like 'regional development,' 'Mexican society,' 'impact of regional development,' 'regional problems', and 'regional inequalities', covering the period from 2000 to 2022. The thematic lines identified in the research on regional development in Mexico emphasize the consolidation of public and social policies, the identification of regional problems with a particular focus on vulnerable groups and poverty in Latin America, and propose solutions to social inequalities through collective action and the promotion of local development

Analyzing the Process of Land-Use Transfer Flow in the Suhai Lake Basin in China, 1980–2018

The Suhai Lake Basin has held major ecological status as a crucial component of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau’s ecological security barrier. The Suhai Lake Migratory Bird Nature Reserve’s safety and the livelihood of Kazakh citizens are now directly endangered by the frequent switching between land-use types and the decrease of ecosystem service functions caused by climate change and human activity. As a result, this work introduces the idea of land-use transfer flow. Through the application of interval level change and the land-use transfer chain, the process, affecting factors, and current issues of land-use change in the Suhai Lake Basin over the past 40 years are thoroughly investigated. The results showed that the intensity of land-use change was significant, at 0.055%, during the period 1990–2000, whereas the grassland area significantly increased, with a net increase of 23.07 km2, mainly from the conversion of saline-alkali land, swamp, and other unused land in the middle and lower reaches. The key factor influencing the growth of the grassland throughout this time has been the ecological management policy. As a result of the climate’s ongoing warming between 2000 and 2018, glacial meltwater and precipitation increased, the middle and lower ranges of the groundwater table rose, and the grassland degradation, swamp shrinkage, and soil salinization in the watershed all worsened. The degradation of grassland will result from both overgrazing and overprotection. Suhai Lake Wetland and Haizi Grassland Wetland are the most readily apparent examples of land-use changes in the Suhai Lake Basin from a spatial perspective. More consideration should be given to the ecological deterioration and land exposure in the glacier retreat zone of the upstream source region. The results can provide important information on the impact of regional development and the environmental governance policies of the changes in land use/cover in the Suhai Lake Basin.

The impact of regional development towards the well-being of rural community

Since before the British rule, the issues and problems of urban transformation growth have continued until today, especially in rural areas and small towns. Rural communities also have undergone significant transformations in recent decades. There are positive and negative impacts on adaptation the growth of regional development that impact significantly on the rural community, which needs to be addressed to overcome the adverse effects on those that involved. This also included the changes in a case study of rural areas that have been chosen, which is located in sub-district that categorize under rural areas at Johor Bahru due to Iskandar Malaysia region expansions. Furthermore, the developmental transformation has mainly affected the changes in the socio-economic well-being of rural communities. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of studies on a factor of socio-economic well-being development in rural areas for creating a framework to measure the impact of regional development on the socio-economic well-being of the rural.

Insights into the ‘ecological economics’ of land degradation: A multi-scale analysis with implications for regional development policy and local mitigation measures

This study examines the intrinsic relationship between land degradation and the accumulation of wealth at various planning scales in Italy, a desertification hotspot in Southern Europe. Local development was scrutinized at four planning scales (administrative regions, provinces, economic districts, and municipalities) to verify if land sensitivity to degradation increases over time more rapidly in economically advanced contexts. Land sensitivity to degradation increased between the early 1990s and the early 2010s contrary to the level of income per-capita based on linear, squared, cubic, and fourth-grade polynomial specifications. Spatially implicit and explicit statistical approaches indicate linear models are the best fit at all planning scales. The income-land degradation relationship was negative, showing the role of both centralized and decentralized planning scales, and suggesting that developmental policies may have less impact on land degradation in specific territorial contexts. More suited local models displayed a negative socio-economic development impact in more affected Southern districts. Checking for spatial heterogeneity, multi-scale regressions provided insights into complex ecological-economic processes whilst also evaluating the impact of regional development at different planning levels contributing to design scalable mitigation policies against desertification.

Dynamic changes of land use/cover and landscape pattern in a typical alpine river basin of theQinghai‐TibetPlateau, China

AbstractLandscape heterogeneity is a comprehensive reflection of spatial patch and gradient, which is an important feature of landscape pattern. The China land use/cover dataset (CLUD) with 1 km spatial resolution was used in this study to investigate the dynamic changes of land use/cover in the Yarlung Tsangpo River basin (YTRB) of China from 1980 to 2015 through the land use transition matrix and dynamic degrees. The semi‐variogram model of the study area was constructed at different scales to determine the landscape characteristic scale of the YTRB. The traditional landscape index method and moving window method were used to investigate the watershed landscape pattern at the class and landscape levels, respectively. The results showed that the overall change in land use over the YTRB was not significant during the period 1980–2015, whereas the relative change in each type of land use was significant. Permanent glacier‐snow significantly degraded by 22.72%, while built‐up areas increased by 106.38%. The degree of the landscape fragmentation and diversity gradually increased from upstream to downstream. The unused land has the highest degree of fragmentation, and the agglomeration degree of urban land patches increased. The result of land use dynamic degree indicated that natural factors were the main causes of changes in land use during the first sub‐period 1980–2000, while human activities were the major drivers of changes in land use during the second sub‐period 2000–2015. The results can provide important information on the impact of regional development and environmental governance policies on the changes in land use/cover and landscape in Tibet.

Examining the impact factors of the water environment using the extended STIRPAT model: A Case Study in Sichuan.

China's rapid social and economic development has led to a significant deterioration in the water environment, which has limited sustainable regional development. Therefore, understanding the specific factors that affect the water environment is vital for future water conservation efforts. From a social economy perspective, this paper used population, the economy, urbanization, technological level, water consumption, and other factors to expand the STIRPAT model, after which partial least squares was applied to solve the model parameters and comprehensively analyze the impact of regional development on the water environment in Sichuan Province from 2007 to 2017. It was found that the main factors affecting the water environment were resident population, urbanization, service industry development, and industrialization, with the industrialization factor being found to have a reverse waste-sewage water discharge inhibition. In addition, it was found that during the study period, there was no environmental Kuznets curve between water resource environmental pollution and economic growth in Sichuan Province. Finally, some policy recommendations for improving the water environment were given based on the results.

Analysis model of regional development impact indicators and its impact on building systems protocol

Le développement durable n’est pas uniquement associé aux sujets environnementaux. La politique de développement porte sur toutes les questions liées au bien être humain, incluant l’aspect économique, social et environnemental. Certaines publications des Nations Unies, telles que le document final du Sommet Mondial de 2005, reconnaissent ces trois points importants comme « piliers interdépendants qui se renforcent mutuellement » et sont à la base de la déclaration des Droits de l’Homme dans le monde entier. Cependant, même à l’ère de la mondialisation, les différentes disciplines environnementales génèrent leur propre paradigme selon la région et la culture, sans considérer que le développement durable est une question transversale dans toutes les disciplines. Selon ces perspectives, des propositions méthodologiques ont été mises en place afin d’évaluer, ce qui est durable et ce qui est non durable. Les contradictions culturelles ont fait des expressions visibles de ces nouveaux scénarios socio-économiques, générant des changements profonds dans la façon dont les sociétés abordent la question de l’épuisement des modèles de développement sans pouvoir en définir une nouvelle. Il est clair que la différence entre ce qui est et n’est pas durable dépend des aspects physiques et biologiques, mais ce qui détermine le concept final sont des variables socio-économiques. Le débat sur la manière d’interpréter et d’aborder les problèmes sociaux causés par la migration, la pollution de l’environnement et l’épuisement des ressources naturelles est un sujet d’intérêt pour tous les gouvernements. Ils s’efforcent d’inciter les agents sociaux et économiques à mener des activités et des comportements qui favorisent la conservation de l’environnement. Cela implique comment promouvoir la capacité à fournir des facteurs matériels et économiques sans épuisement de la base des ressources naturelles et mettant toujours l’accent sur les aspects critiques que toutes communautés a besoin pour sa survie, comme le maintien de la base de ressources naturelles qui fournit à la société de l’eau de base et de la nourriture prestations de service. Cependant, la façon dont chaque communauté s’est concentrée sur cette question a changé au fil du temps, selon la façon dont chacun d’entre eux comprend sa réalité, son environnement et la façon dont les gens s’y rattachent. Depuis la révolution industrielle, l’intérêt de chaque société a changé historiquement. Cela représente un changement dans la perception de la réalité, qui est déterminante pour la manière dont la société interagit avec l’environnement. Cet article présente une analyse des différents modèles de développement sous l’angle des ressources naturelles, de la gestion intégrée des bassins hydrographiques et de la notion de durabilité. Les deux premiers thèmes ont été essentiels à de nombreuses propositions de développement, tandis que le concept de durabilité fait partie de l’agenda des organisations internationales, comme les Nations Unies, et est le cadre conceptuel qui détermine une partie du discours et des politiques publiques au Mexique.

THE EFFECT OF CORRIDOR BOGOR - SUKABUMI INTER-URBAN TRANSPORTATION ON REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A CASE CIGOMBONG DISTRICT, BOGOR REGENCY, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA

Inter-urban transportation which connects cities has significant impacts to the regional development of the surrounding area. Regional development used to be measured by its economic development, population growth, availability of living supporting facilities, and land use change. These variables may also be used to measure the regional development impact by the availability of inter-urban transportation. Cigombong District in Bogor Regency has a very strategic location due to it passed through by various inter-urban transportation routes namely railway (Pangrango Train) with a station (Cigombong Station) and regional roads (state and provincial roads) connecting Bogor City and Sukabumi City. The plan to construct the Bocimi (Bogor-Ciawi-Sukabumi) toll road which will pass through with exit gate located in this district is predicted to push the regional development in this district even further. This study aimed to understand the regional development in Cigombong District impacted by the availability of inter-urban transportation. This research used method of the population growth, Weighted Centrality Index (WCI). of available facilities, and the land use change. Results of this research show that high growth rate of population, rapid development of facilities centers, and rapid change of land use from green area become residential area took place in the area surrounding inter-urban transportation routes (road network as well as train station) namely Cigombong, Tugu Jaya, Ciburuy and Ciburayut Villages. It can be concluded that the development of Corridor Bogor-Sukabumi inter-urban transportation had effect on regional development that can be identified by population growth, residential facilities centers, and land use change. In turn, it can be used by the local government as one the input for formulating policy for enhancing resilience of the region.

IMPACT OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT

Scholars from the USA, Western Europe, Russia and other countries (H.W. Richardson, Y. Butenko, Ph. Kotler, K. Asplund, I. Rain, I. Haider and others) have worked out theories of regional development that serve as grounds for planning, researching and forecasting changes in the country region. Theories of regional development reflect methods of spatial economics. „Space as limited resource” should be planned since necessary for people space utilization in the particular way precludes another, alternative mode of space usage. The economical aspect of space utilization – development of the spatial segments, their interrelation and their impact on the development of the common space, for instance, the influence of Latvian county economics on the whole region or country. While choosing the location enterprises have to take into account the optimal structure of space for all economic activities. Where is the best location for the stable development of enterprise? Where are the best conditions for the enterprise existence? The sequence of spatial location can begin from the particular region, from the specific place in this region. The result of the search for the spatial location is the result of the more or less successful decision of the single entrepreneur. Purpose of the present research was to study the impact of regional development on the development of enterprise environment. In order to implement the aim the authors had to investigate theories of regional development and study the indicators of environment development in two cities of national level in Latvia – Valmiera and Jekabpils. The research was implemented with the following methods: analysis of theoretical literature, statistical data analysis, document analysis. The primary conclusions were as following: When researching territory, economical aspects of the space utilization shall be taken into consideration; National orientation criteria should be considered when choosing the enterprise location.

The geography of job creation in high growth firms: the implications of ‘growing abroad’

In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest by policy makers in high growth firms. Interest in these dynamic firms has primarily been driven by their prodigious ability to create new employment. Despite this, very little is known about the complex corporate geographies of these firms and their internationalisation processes. Using quantitative and qualitative data, this paper explores this issue by examining Scottish high growth firms. High growth firms were found to adopt more aggressive forms of international expansion, such as overseas acquisitions, than their non-high growth firm counterparts. As a result of these complex growth processes, a large proportion of high growth firm employment growth is generated outside Scotland. The paper concludes that the regional development impact of high growth firms for small peripheral economies in the UK is more limited than originally envisaged. The implications of the study for further research and public policy are examined.

Natural Resources Investment of Oil and Gas and Regional Development Impact on Community Empowerment

This study was done in Bekasi district, at West Java, Indonesia, with the aims to analyze the management of upstream activities (exploration and production) of oil and gas industry and its impact on improving the quality of infrastructure, the equal benefits proportion for the corporation, local government and society, and CSR programs that would affect the community empowerment. The analysis would be calculated based on the per capita income, the number of medical personals, and the number of teachers. Based on that calculation, this study analyzed the impact of oil and gas activities to the regional development of the area under this study. Analysis of regional development was calculated through number of industry in the area, the economic growth, and local government revenue that affects community empowerment in Bekasi.Analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM), the results showed that: (1) management of upstream oil and gas activities in this area have a positive influence, but no significant effect on community empowerment; (2) management of upstream oil and gas activities have a significant positive impact on regional development; (3) regional development has a significant positive impact on community empowerment; (4) management of upstream oil and gas activities have a greater positive influence towards community empowerment through regional development, because of the multiplier effect of the development of the region.

Impact of regional development on carbon emission: Empirical evidence across countries

Global warming is recently an urgent issue worldwide. The increase of carbon emissions induced by human economic activities has become a major driving force behind global climate change. Thus, as a matter of social responsibility, reasonable carbon constraints should be implemented to ensure environmental security and sustainable development for every country. Based on a summary of studies that examined the relationship between carbon emissions and regional development, this paper shows that human activity-led carbon emission is caused by the combination of several influencing factors, including population size, income level, and technical progress. Thus, a quantitative model derived from IPAT-ImPACT-Kaya series and STIRPAT models was established. Empirical analysis using multivariate nonlinear regression demonstrated that the origins of growing global carbon emission included the increasing influencing elasticity of the population size and the declining negative effect of technical progress. Meanwhile, in context of classification of country groups at different income levels, according to the comparison of fluctuating patterns of the influencing elasticity, technical progress was found as the main factor influencing carbon emission levels in high-income countries, and population size might be the controlling factor in middle-income countries. However, for low-income countries, the nonlinear relationship between carbon emission and its influencing factors was not significant, whereas population growth was identified as an important potential driving force in future carbon emissions. This study can therefore provide a reference for the formulation of policies on carbon constraints, especially to develop more efficient carbon mitigating policies for countries at different income levels.
