Effect of Farmers’ Perceptions of Sustainable Development Value on Their Willingness for Agricultural Land Secured Financing

Farmers’ perceptions of land value determine how land is used, which, in turn, can affect the ecological protection and sustainable development of land resources. This study constructed an index system of farmers’ perceptions of the sustainable development value of agricultural land in four aspects: economic value, security value, ecological value, and emotional value. Using data from 1652 farm households in Shaanxi Province, China, we empirically analyzed the influence of farmers’ perceptions of sustainable development value on their intention to obtain financing secured by agricultural land. Farmers’ perceptions of sustainable development value were found to have a significant negative effect on their willingness for agricultural land secured financing, and social capital played a negative moderating role in the relationship between the two. Further, we found differences between ordinary farmers and new management entities in their value perceptions of agricultural land; thus, there was heterogeneity in the effect on intention to obtain financing secured by agricultural land. Based on the findings, we suggested ways to promote the market development of agricultural land financing, including guiding farmers to form sustainable perceptions of agricultural land value, and innovating mortgages secured by agricultural land with new management entities as the main demanders.

Land Cover Classification from Hyperspectral Images via Local Nearest Neighbor Collaborative Representation with Tikhonov Regularization

The accurate and timely monitoring of land cover types is of great significance for the scientific planning, rational utilization, effective protection and management of land resources. In recent years, land cover classification based on hyperspectral images and the collaborative representation (CR) model has become a hot topic in the field of remote sensing. However, most of the existing CR models do not consider the problem of sample imbalance, which affects the classification performance of CR models. In addition, the Tikhonov regularization term can improve the classification performance of CR models, but greatly increases the computational complexity of CR models. To address the above problems, a local nearest neighbor (LNN) method is proposed in this paper to select the same number of nearest neighbor samples from each nearest class of the test sample to construct a dictionary. This is then introduced into the original collaborative representation classification (CRC) method and CRC with Tikhonov regularization (CRT) for land cover classification, denoted as LNNCRC and LNNCRT, respectively. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed LNNCRC and LNNCRT methods, the classification performance and running time of the proposed methods are compared with those of six popular CR models on a hyperspectral scene with nine land cover types. The experimental results show that the proposed LNNCRT method achieves the best land cover classification performance, and the proposed LNNCRC and LNNCRT methods not only further exclude the interference of irrelevant training samples and classes, but also effectively eliminate the influence of imbalanced training samples, so as to improve the classification performance of CR models and effectively reduce the computational complexity of CR models.

Criminal and legal protection of land resources in Ukraine and Latin America: comparative legal analysis

The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative study of criminal law protection of land resources under the law of Ukraine and Latin America states. Based on the results of such study, positive experience will be identified, which should be taken into account in the process of further improvement of domestic criminal law, as well as negative practices aimed at avoiding its implementation in Ukraine. During the course of covering legal framework in selected countries, proving the hypotheses, substantiating conclusions a wide range of scientific methods has been used. Among them are the following: comparative law, formal logic, philosophical (dialectical) nethods, methods of systems analysis and modeling. Based on the analysis, it has been concluded that when improving the current Criminal Code of Ukraine primarily those provisions of criminal law of Latin American countries can be taken into account, according to which possession of not only a whole all but also a part of land (real estate) constitutes a crime. At the same time, it has been proved that applying approaches of some states is inexpedient, where parliamentarians: 1) refuse to use aggravating elements, when constructing the relevant corpus delicti, which does not allow to ensure the implementation of the principle of differentiation of criminal liability; 2) provide for criminal liability for land crimes of “environmental” nature in the provisions of special laws on the regulation of liability for environmental crimes.

Problems of the impact of the use and protection of land resources in the agricultural sector on territorial development

Problems of the impact of the use and protection of land resources in the agricultural sector on territorial development

The evolution of land policies in China from 1980 to 2019: a policy-text based analysis.

Land resources are indispensable for the development of a country, especially for a country such as China with a very high population relative to its land area. Since reforms were introduced and liberalization was adopted, many policies have been promulgated for the protection and utilization of land resources. In the present study, more than 2000 land policies that have been formulated and promulgated in China from 1980 to 2019 were examined and statistically analyzed to qualitatively and quantitatively introduce the evolution of these policies in China. This paper mainly studies land policy of China from three perspectives as follows: policy intensity, policy tools, and policy targets, and three principal observations emerged from these investigations. First, during the past 40years, the quantity of land policies introduced showed an increasing trend, while policy intensity became increasingly stabilized. Second, compared with regulatory policies and stimulative policies, it seems that China prefers to adopt guiding policies to manage land resources. Third, the main purpose of land policies issued during 1980-2019 is land market regulation, with subordinate policies for land resources protection.

Effect of Different Land Use Types on the Diversity of Soil Bacterial Community in the Coastal Zone of Jialing River

The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences in soil bacterial community diversity in different land uses in the coastal zone of the Jialing River and to provide theoretical reference for reasonable land development and resource protection of the Jialing River basin. Based on second generation high-throughput sequencing technology, the diversity, structural composition, functional types, and influencing factors of soil bacterial communities in different land use types were analyzed. The results showed that:① there were some differences in soil physical and chemical properties among different land uses. The nutritional indexes of agricultural land and soil wetland were significantly higher than those of natural forest land and sandy soil wetland (P<0.05). ②The Ace, Shannon, and Chao indexes of sandy soil wetland and soil wetland were significantly higher than those of natural forest land and agricultural land (P<0.05). The Simpson index of soil bacteria in different land use types was significantly different (P<0.05). ③ The dominant phyla of soil bacteria in the coastal zone of the Jialing River were Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriata, Acidobacteriata, and Chloroflexi, and the relative abundance accounted for more than 65%. The community structure of sandy soil wetland was similar to that of soil wetland and was significantly different from that of other land use types (P<0.05). ④ Primary functional metabolism was the core function of the bacterial community, accounting for more than 75%. Agricultural activities had the greatest impact on the community function, which significantly improved the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates, enhanced the utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus, reduced the metabolism of energy and coenzyme vitamins, and weakened the resistance of bacterial community to environmental impact (P<0.05). ⑤ Total phosphorus (TP) was the key influencing factor of the soil bacterial community. In conclusion, the construction of the wetland habitat in the Jialing River coastal zone is most conducive to the development of underground ecological diversity and the stability of the soil ecosystem.

Protection of Cultivated Land Resources and Grain Supply Security in Main Grain-Producing Areas of China

Land is a main factor in food production, and cultivated land resources provide opportunity for the national food security. This study empirically estimates the impact of farmland protection on the security of grain supply in major grain-producing areas of China. For this purpose, from 2010 to 2019, panel data was collected from 13 main grain-producing provinces of China. The results revealed that the protection of cultivated land resources in the main grain-producing areas with direct means, incentives, and technological progress, significantly and positively impacted the security of grain supply. Furthermore, a mismatch was found between resource conditions and their use for grain production in the Northern region, and the lack of protection of cultivated land resources in the Southern region, which leads to the insignificant positive promotion of grain supply security. The results of the study strongly suggest that central and national governments of China need to provide a proper policy for the protection of cultivated land resources with equal emphasis on quantity, quality, and sustainability to ensure food security.

Mechanism of protecting forest and land resources of Ukraine from illegal amber mining: legal aspect

Purpose. To determine a legally established mechanism of criminal-legal protection of forest and land resources on the territory of Ukraine where illegal amber mining is carried out. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is a system of general and special methods of cognition: the dialectical method was used to learn the essence of such a phenomenon as the protection of public relations for environmental protection and rational use of natural resources during amber mining; system-structural method when separating the social relations of the constituent elements protected by the law within the specified structure; when analyzing the forms of socially dangerous acts of crimes under Articles 240-1, 239 and 245 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; logical-dogmatic method during the interpretation of certain terms used in the sciences of geology, administrative and criminal law, contained in the provisions of current legislation; comparative law method - in the study of the relationship of objective signs of acts under Articles 201-1, 239 and 245 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Findings. It is established that the criminal law protection of Article 240-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine covers public relations for the protection and rational use of amber resources, forest and land resources. The former ones are the main direct object of the crime, the latter ones are the direct additional objects of this crime. The range of objects of this crime is established amber, forest and land resources. The collision of norms of Articles 240-1 and 245 and Articles 240-1 and 239 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Originality. It is established that the object of the crime under Article 240-1 of the Criminal Code includes the main direct object public relations for the protection and rational use of amber resources and two direct additional objects of crime: public relations for the protection and rational use of forest and land resources. It is determined that damage to forests due to illegal amber mining must be further qualified under Part 1 of Article 245 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine if illegal mining is carried out in a generally dangerous manner. This crime must be further qualified under Part 1 of Article 239 of the Criminal code of Ukraine if illegal extraction of amber is carried out with violation of special rules of treatment of substances, waste or other materials. Practical value. From a practical point of view, the results of the study will contribute to the correct qualification of practitioners of illegal amber mining in Ukraine.

Land Use/Land Cover Change and Their Driving Factors in the Yellow River Basin of Shandong Province Based on Google Earth Engine from 2000 to 2020

As the convenient outlet to the Bo Sea and the major region of economic development in the Yellow River Basin, Shandong Province in China has undergone large changes in land use/land cover (LULC) in the past two decades with rapid urbanization and population growth. The analysis of the LULC change patterns and its driving factors in the Shandong section of the Yellow River Basin can provide a scientific basis for rational planning and ecological protection of land resources in the Shandong section of the Yellow River Basin. In this manuscript, we analyzed the spatial pattern of LULC and its spatial and temporal changes in the Shandong section of the Yellow River Basin in 2000, 2010, and 2020 by using the random forest classification algorithm with the Google Earth Engine platform and multi-temporal Landsat TM/OLI data. The driving factors of LULC changes were also quantified by the factor detector and interaction detector in the geodetector. Results show that in the past two decades, the LULC types in the study area are mainly farmland and construction land, among which the proportion of farmland area has decreased and the proportion of construction land area has increased from 19.4% to 29.7%. Based on the results of factor detector, it can be concluded that elevation, slope, and soil type are the key factors affecting LULC change in the study area. The interaction between elevation and slope, slope and soil type, and temperature and precipitation has strong explanatory power for the spatial variation of LULC change in the study area. The research results can provide data support for ecological environmental protection, sustainable, and high-quality development of the Shandong section of the Yellow River Basin, and help local governments take corresponding measures to achieve coordinated and sustainable socioeconomic and environmental development.

Evaluation and Improvement of Cultivated Land Leisure Service Function Based on Multisource Spatial Data

The leisure service function is an important component of the derivative function and non-market function of cultivated land. Therefore, exploring the strength of the cultivated land leisure service function with the help of spatial information technology is significant in guiding the proper utilization and protection of cultivated land resources. This paper constructed an evaluation system based on the three dimensions of ecological landscape, social activities, and economic performance, explored the spatial difference of the cultivated land leisure service function in Yuanyang County, the major grain-producing area along the Yellow River through spatial weighted overlay, classified the hot spots of leisure services and presented suggestions for improvement. Results show the following: (1) the landscape resources in the northern part are relatively monotonous, while those in the southern part are rich and evenly distributed. Spatial accessibility presents a distribution of “one core with multiple subcores”. The distribution of leisure service supply capacity is characterized by “multiple cores and multiple circles.” (2) The hot spots of the cultivated land leisure service function are the Urban Agricultural Central Area and the Ecological Agriculture Core Area in the middle of the county, and the Suburban Agritourism Development Area, the Yellow River Agritourism Transitional Area, and the Leisure Agriculture Connection Area on the periphery of the county. (3) The agricultural landscape should be fully protected and utilized in the Urban Agricultural Central Area. The spatial accessibility and regional reputation of the Ecological Agriculture Core Area need to be improved. The landscape diversity and landscape quality should be improved in the Suburban Agritourism Development Area. The Yellow River Agritourism Transitional Area needs to overcome the loss of tourists. The Leisure Agriculture Connection Area should increase the number of leisure and tourism facilities.

Geoinformation support for the management of lands of the nature reserve fund within the Kyiv region

The nature reserve fund and other protected areas that have this status are of great importance for the purposes of rational use and protection of land resources. In this context, the main purpose of the study presented in this article was the formation of scientific approaches to the effective management of the lands of the nature reserve fund based on the use of modern geographic information support. It is emphasized that the area of lands of the nature reserve fund and other nature protection purposes has a low percentage and requires bringing their share to at least 15%. An important problem is the lack of projected boundaries of the lands of the nature reserve fund for most of these objects with their subsequent inclusion in the National cadastral system.An approach is proposed according to which a geospatial database is formed, which contains a set of information about all objects of the nature reserve fund and other nature conservation purposes within the territory of the Kyiv region and the results of completed land management projects on the organization and establishment of their boundaries. It is established that the formed verified geospatial data of the objects of the nature reserve fund open the possibility to improve the quality of management processes and gradual transition to decision-making based on analytical information.

ОСНОВНІ АСПЕКТИ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ УПРАВЛІННЯ ВИКОРИСТАННЯМ ЗЕМЕЛЬНИХ РЕСУРСІВ

The article examines the main aspects of the management of the use of land resources. It was found that the organization of effective and durable land management systems requires long-term investments and constant state support. Thus, a protected legal status and an efficient land market result in more credit and investment, which leads to higher productivity and economic growth and, accordingly, to higher incomes and higher living standards. It is emphasized that the basis of the management organization of the use of land resources is the state land cadastre. The use of the state land cadastre as the main tool for the management of the use of land resources has the following meaning: guarantee of ownership and its protection; support for land and real estate taxation; provision of loan guarantees; development of land markets and their monitoring; protection of land resources and support for environmental monitoring; assistance in land management of state lands; reducing the number of land disputes; promotion of land reform and development of rural areas; improvement of urban planning and infrastructure development; obtaining statistical data on land plots. It is proposed that when organizing the management of the use of land resources, we suggest taking into account such characteristics as systems formed according to the principle of contradictions, in particular: first, ensuring the sustainability of the land resources management system, which is dynamic in itself; secondly, the credibility and transparency of the land management system, as well as the confidentiality and protection of personal data; thirdly, taking into account the "human factor" in the automation of the land resources management system; fourth, the universality of land resource management systems with the uniqueness of each of them. The specified characteristics were formed using one of the methods of scientific thinking and the principles of the laws of logic - the principle of contradictions. Contradiction as such does not ensure development. However, philosophical dialectic consists precisely in the ability to feel, reveal, realize the depth of the contradiction and find the possibility of a complex solution.

ІННОВАЦІЇ В СОЦІАЛЬНОМУ ПІДПРИЄМНИЦТВІ ЯК НЕСТАНДАРТНИЙ ПОГЛЯД НА ПРОБЛЕМИ

The research concerns the positioning of social entrepreneurship as an innovative form of business, its ability to innovate, economic and social solutions to social problems, including poverty, support for vulnerable groups, environmental protection, human rights, energy security, conservation and restoration of land resources, uneven distribution of capital, etc. The lack of resources in the state budget and funding of the social sphere on a residual basis encourages people and communities to intensify and seek innovative approaches to solving their problems. Social entrepreneurship is perceived as an unconventional view that rethinks the essence of the problem that changes people's lives, improves their living environment, increases welfare, creates conditions for vulnerable groups to access the benefits of the modern world. In many parts of the world, social entrepreneurship initiatives often outpace the state's response to current challenges, create millions of jobs, generate significant financial capital and tax and public investment in state and local budgets, proving their competitiveness against alternative models of socio-economic development. development. The development of the concept of social enterprise involves in-depth analysis of social problems and building cost-effective business solutions based on business modeling, the main purpose of which is a reliable, clear and simple description of the future company during enterprise development. social enterprises. road map for social entrepreneurs. To overcome the crisis, it is important to innovate, promote competitive products and develop the high-tech market. It is the innovative approach that can be the impetus for restoring the country's economic situation. Thus, an effective mechanism for ensuring the creation of innovations is a socially responsible startup, ie a startup created for social purposes. In Ukraine, social entrepreneurship is a fairly new field of activity that is of great interest to various groups of concerned citizens and entrepreneurs. In modern realities, social entrepreneurship is becoming one of the important and effective tools for solving social problems of both civil society and small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine and a leader in various sectors of the economy of any developed country.

Analysis on Scientific and Technological Innovation of Grain Production in Henan Province Based on SD‐GM Approach

A sustainable growth of grain outputs mainly relies on improving output per unit area through scientific and technological innovation. From the perspective of scientific and technological innovation, taking the grain production process as the research object, a systems model of scientific and technological innovation in grain production is constructed based on the relevant data of Henan Province from 2010 to 2019. Firstly, the internal mechanism of grain production scientific and technological innovation is explored, and the feedback loop of grain production scientific and technological innovation is then established. Secondly, system dynamics and grey system theory are combined to construct table functions and logistic functions to establish the grain production scientific and technological innovation system model. Through testing the model, the stability and feasibility of the model are demonstrated, and the simulation and prediction of the innovation system of grain production scientific and technological in Henan Province are carried out. Thirdly, in order to explore the impact of feasible policy schemes on grain production, seven policy plans are designed to simulate grain production policy scenarios from the perspective of scientific and technological innovation. The results show that: (1) The adjustment of individual policies, especially the adjustment of the protection policy of scientific and technological innovation in grain production or the subsidy policy of agricultural materials, has a weak influence on the improvement of grain output. The progress of agricultural technology is the main support for improving the comprehensive grain production capacity. (2) The future grain growth potential of Henan Province should focus on increasing the yield per unit area, and the protection of cultivated land resources should not be ignored. (3) The combination of policies has mutually reinforcing effect, which leads to an ideal system simulation effect. Finally, from the perspective of the composition of scientific and technological innovation system in Henan Province, this study puts forward countermeasures and suggestions for the implementation of the strategy of “storing grain in technology” in Henan Province.

Land taxation as a tool to ensure sustainable development of rural areas in the context of decentralization

The article considers land taxation as one of the tools to ensure the sustainable development of rural areas in the context of decentralization. Included land tax and rent for land plots of state and communal property and a single tax for agricultural producers as land tax payments has been proposed. It was found that the land fee is the second-largest source of tax revenues to local budgets. It was revealed that during 2009–2020 there is a tendency to increase revenues from land fees to local budgets of Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the fact that there is an increase in rent payments by legal entities and individuals in parallel with a decrease in its share in the payment for land, which is caused by an increase in land tax revenues during the analyzed period by 4.5 times. It was found that the largest amounts of revenues from land fees are payments from legal entities (86–88 % of the total revenues). It was found that the number of revenues from land tax and rent for land plots of state and communal property paid by individuals increased 4.5 times, and the number of revenues from similar taxes from legal entities increased 3.6 times. As a result of the study, attention is focused on the fact that since 2015 the payment for land has been transferred from the status of a national tax to a local one. It is proved that to tax the regulation of agricultural land use and promotes the development of agriculture and rural areas in 1998, a fixed agricultural tax was introduced. It was found that the number of receipts of the single tax paid by agricultural producers in 2015 increased 17 times compared to 2014. The sharp increase is caused by the introduction of the annual indexation of the tax base for agricultural enterprises, and a threefold increase in tax rates is justified. To achieve the goals of sustainable development of rural areas, it is proposed to carry out such measures as the application of increasing coefficients for irrational use of agricultural lands, provision of benefits for organic agricultural producers, implementation of the full inventory of agricultural lands, improvement of normative monetary valuation of land use for land and/or the single tax of the fourth group for the implementation of measures for the protection and reproduction of land resources, which will increase employment in rural areas, overcome poverty, develop social infrastructure, ensure the livelihood of rural residents, food, economic and environmental security, reduce destructive effects on the environment, protection and reproduction of natural resource potential.

Mechanism of financial support of natural capital reproduction

Abstract. The article proves the need to review theoretical approaches to financial support for the reproduction of natural capital in the context of the aggravation of problems of rational land use, which are caused by an increase in anthropogenic load on natural ecosystems. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and applied foundations of the functioning of the financial mechanism for the reproduction of agricultural land and substantiate measures to increase the role of financial instruments of agricultural land use in the formation of a stable financial base for the reproduction of natural capital. It is proved that the financial mechanism focused on the reproduction of natural capital should take into account tools that are designed to help protect land resources from depletion, ensure the reproduction of economic fertility and protect land resources from pollution and its prevention (environmental reproduction). The purpose of the financial mechanism for the reproduction of natural capital is determined, which consists in balancing the financial and economic aspect of land use with agrophysical, agrochemical and biological ones. Possible sources of financial support for the reproduction of natural capital are indicated and it is established that the land tax is the main source of formation of financial resources for the reproduction of natural capital. Key words: Finance of nature management, financial support, financial mechanism, reproduction of natural capital.

Evaluating urban ecological civilization and its obstacle factors based on integrated model of PSR-EVW-TOPSIS: A case study of 13 cities in Jiangsu Province, China

Conducting urban ecological civilization (UEC) evaluation and identifying its key obstacle factors will help to formulate regionally differentiated ecological civilization promotion paths. From three dimensions of “pressure-state-response” (PSR) and four aspects of “Economy-Resources-Environment-Society”(ERES), this paper constructs an extended PSR index system of UEC to reflect the interactive relationship between humans and nature, and integrates the exponential variable weight (EVW) method, technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) model and obstacle degree (OD) model to evaluate and diagnose the regional differences and obstacle factors of UEC in Jiangsu Province. The results show that the performance of UEC in each city shows an increasing trend during the inspection period, but there are significant regional differences. The performance of UEC construction in Jiangsu Province has improved year by year, but the increase in its response index is relatively small, indicating that the response capacity of UEC in Jiangsu Province needs to be strengthened urgently, and its fundamental lies in reversing the GDP-oriented performance evaluation model. The key obstacles to the construction of UEC vary depending on the uneven regional development, but there are some common obstacles in the construction of UEC, such as clean energy investment, urban residents’ water supply, foreign capital utilization, land resource protection, population education quality, etc. It is recommended that local governments improve the top-level system design of UEC construction, avoid a one-size-fits-all governance model, and adopt differentiated ecological civilization control measures according to local conditions.

Visualizing clustering characteristics of multidimensional arable land quality indexes at the county level in mainland China

The evaluation of the arable land ecosystem services capacity and arable land use intensity is important for recognizing regional key factors that impact the change of arable land attributes. A chronic lack of cooperation persists between these two fields of study, which makes providing sufficient information to support developing arable land use management and control policies difficult. In this study, the clustering characteristics of four arable land quality indexes have been assessed using the K-means algorithm to indicate the regional coordination between arable land resource protection and arable land use. The clustering results have been visualized using circular cartogram. This study can contribute to the identification of key regional challenges in China's arable land use and help to build the framework of other countries’ arable land protection policies.

Improvement of Public Control over the Use of Land Resources as an Important Aspect of Modernisation of the Ukrainian State in the XXI Century

For the rational use and protection of land, the issue of effective implementation of land reform remains relevant. An important aspect in increasing the importance of this reform is the state's interest in land use. It is the main subject of land use control and protection. However, the consolidation of provisions on land protection in the Constitution of Ukraine demonstrates that the preservation of land resources in all spheres of public relations constitutes an important component of the legal policy of Ukraine in the land sphere and the constitutional obligation to protect land not only to the state but also to citizens, legal entities, and local communities. The purpose of the study is to analyse the legislative practice of compliance with the rules of rational use and protection of land resources. The main research methods were general science - analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. The study considers the role of the state, people, local governments in the management and control of land resources. The main statutory documents governing the use of land resources were considered. Amendments to the legislation of Ukraine in the field of land ownership were proposed to delegate the powers of control of land resources between the state and local communities. The possible expansion of the land powers of the self-government bodies of the united territorial communities was considered. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using results in the development of projects to improve public control over the use of land resources.
