“…The changes in land use in the Denpasar region not only show expanding settlement areas but also expanding forestland due to the conversion of water and other land use types in the southern part of Denpasar and reclamation areas in Serangan Island. The clear land use change in this tourism city is consistent with the studies of Kytzia et al [71], Xi et al [72], and Mao et al [73]. However, the process of greenspaces changing into settlement areas in Denpasar is very fast compared to that in other cities in Indonesia and the world.…”

Understanding the changes in gross primary production (GPP), which is the total carbon fixation by terrestrial ecosystems through vegetation photosynthesis, due to land use conversion in a tourism city is important for carbon cycle studies. Satellite data from Landsat 5, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 and meteorological data are used to calculate annual GPP for 1995, 2003 and 2014, respectively, using the vegetation production model (VPM) in the tourism city Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Five land use types generated from topographic maps in three different years over the past two decades are used to quantify the impacts of land use changes on GPP estimation values. Analysis was performed for two periods to determine changes in land use and GPP value as well as their speed. The results demonstrated that urban land development, namely, the increase of settlement areas due to tourism activity, had overall negative effects on terrestrial GPP. The total GPP of the whole area decreased by 7793.96 tC year −1 (12.65%) during the study period. The decline is due to the conversion of agriculture and grassland area into settlements, which caused the city to lose half of its ability to uptake carbon through vegetation. However, although forest area is declining, forest maintenance and restoration by making them protection areas has been helpful in preventing a drastic decline in GPP value over the past two decades. This study provides information that is useful for carbon resource management, tourism, policy making and scholars concerned about carbon reduction in a tourism city.

“…The relationship between population growth and regional GDP and land use change was also described by Wu et al [80] in the Yangtze River Basin, China. Moreover, an increase in the number of tourists can affect the land needs associated with their activities [72], and similar results were presented by Allen et al [81] in South Carolina.…”

“…Urbanization in the tourist resort areas promotes the formation of residential-space differentiation. As a result, the characteristics and trends affecting residential-space differentiation in tourist resorts embody a tourism urbanization effect that reflects the speed and deepening degree of economic development in this tourist resort, at least to a certain extent (Pons and Rullan, 2014;Stylidis et al, 2014;Xi et al, 2014).…”

Based on SPOT5 satellite remote sensing images and land use data in five time phases covering the period 1988-2012, the distribution characteristics, spatial differentiation processes, and driving mechanisms affecting the residential land of the Jinshitan Tourist Resort were studied. The work included a combination of GIS technology, adoption of the differentiation index D, and the multi-group differentiation-measure model D (m). The results provided a basis for the following conclusions: 1) From 1988 to 2012, the degree of differentiation of the rural residential land first decreased, and then increased. The general residential, commercial residential and garden-house land-types all showed declining trends, of which the garden-house type presented the most intense volatility. 2) The overall background of the traditional residential land type was gradually replaced by a new residential land type, and the total area of residential land increased year by year, significantly improving the overall residential conditions. The areas of the new residential land type showed growth, and were increasingly widely distributed in the coastal tourist resorts, transportation corridors, and scenic areas. 3) Government policy, social differentiation, market mechanisms, and individual choices (along with other factors) were mutually promoted, although still restrained. However, all of these factors interacted to constrain the developmental direction and the processes affecting tourism real estate in the Dalian Jinshitan Tourist Resort.

“…There were no significant differences in the scale and expansion speed of settlements, especially in rural settlements, although these could be considered the ultimate form of settlement in the agricultural economy before 1980 [26]. Since the implementation of reform and a more open policy, significant changes have taken place in the social economy of China; land use types and spatial patterns have changed dramatically [27], and some new development types in rural settlement are emerging [28,29]. It has been verified that both the agriculture-dominated rural settlements and tourist rural settlements have experienced settlement expansion [29,30].…”

Understanding the process of settlement expansion and the spatiotemporal variation of driving forces is the foundation of rational and specific planning for sustainable development. However, little attention has been paid to the spatiotemporal differences of driving forces among different counties, especially when they are representatives of different development types. This study used Guanyun, Kunshan and Changshu as case studies, and binary logistic regression was employed. The results showed that the expansion rates of Kunshan and Changshu were 5.55 and 3.93 times higher than that of Guanyun. The combinations and relative importance of drivers varied with counties and periods. The change in the number of driving forces can be divided into three stages: increasing stage, decreasing stage, and stable stage. In the relatively developed counties, Kunshan and Changshu, the importance of population is decreased, while it remain an important factor in the less developed county, Guanyun. In addition, the effect of GDP stays the same in Kunshan while it becomes the most important factor in Changshu. The distance to the main road and the distance to town are increasingly important in Kunshan and Guanyun, and distance to town has been the only common factor in the last period, indicating the discrepancy is increased. The relative importance of distance to a lake in Kunshan and Changshu increased, reflecting the role of increasing tourism in accelerating settlement expansion.
