“…Combined with the analysis of the micro-configuration calculation results for green innovation efficiency in Table 4, Type 1 indicates that there are no isolated nodes connected by green innovation and the number of instances belonging to this structure has dropped significantly. This reflects the fact that more urban nodes are included in the green innovation network, which is intuitively manifested by the improvement of network density.…”

“…The Yangtze River Economic Belt is an important part of the "T"-shaped spatial structure of China's land development and strategic planning, and it is also an important channel connecting China with other countries around the world. Its superior geographical location and policy support make it one of the most active areas for innovation and development in China [1][2][3]. In 2019, investment in science and technological research and development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt reached 8466.30 billion yuan, accounting for 34% of total investment.…”

This study puts forward a logical framework for green innovation network analysis, which includes a spatial dimension, a relational dimension, and a systems dimension. Here, we put forward some basic research ideas concerning the optimization and regulation of green innovation networks in terms of the systems dimension and we investigate the micro-dynamic mechanisms of green innovation network expansion using a spatial econometric model. Our main research results are as follows: The efficiency of green innovation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has improved significantly, however, the gap between cities has gradually increased, and a problem of efficiency regression has emerged. The green innovation network has changed from the primary stage dominated by Edge Network to the rapid growth stage dominated by Supporting Network, and formed a complex network pattern with diversified hierarchical structure. Node symmetry is helpful in forming more extroverted connections and promoting the expansion of green innovation networks. Node proximity and connection symmetry inhibit the growth and development of networks, and knowledge flow cooperation networks can accelerate the evolution of green innovation networks. Finally, this paper holds that we should combine the actual development needs, emphasize the basic principles of differentiated development, and construct the development pattern of regional collaborative innovation. This can also provide a theoretical reference for enriching our understanding of green innovation networks while narrowing the gap between cities.

“…Decades after post war has seen the size and speed of urban sprawl escalate and the main driving forces of urban sprawl are much more diversified. Guan et al (2020) quantified the urban sprawl index of the Yangtze Economic Belt. The study defined urban sprawl as driven by economy, population and land.…”

The concept of urban sprawl spans multiple dimensions indicating how urban built-up land cover adds up throughout exurban landscapes. These different dimensions of urban sprawl require a reexamination of definitions and their driving forces because certain policies were formulated from the proposition of informed knowledge and have implicitly gratified urban sprawl into adjoining urban peripheries. This article aimed to offer an alternative perspective on urban sprawl, contributing to a better comprehension of its definition and driving forces. The revision of urban sprawl definitions into six categories have been done based on their repercussion, unaesthetic design, driving force, undesirable pattern, extended character, and their consequences to the environment, to assist in giving an in-depth understanding of urban sprawl in order to implicate effective policy actions. A revision of the driving forces of urban sprawl into various socioeconomic, institutional, demographic, market and technological factors further support the research on spatial planning and urban growth. It is conducted through a detailed discussion and analysis of evidence retrieved from wide-ranging urban studies literature. An informed decision through understanding the driving force of urban sprawl and addressing the root cause can produce a twofold benefit of socio-environment wellbeing and growth-friendly policy initiatives.

“…In terms of the decision‐making process, the importance of landscape planning will be to best allocate what activities should be developed with the remaining available land (i.e., between agriculture, urbanization, and industrial activities). This process is vital for the sustainable development of Markazi Province (Getu & Bhat, 2021; Guan, He, He, Cheng, & Qu, 2020) and aids in facilitating sound decision‐making for future generations. To help with this effort, a suitability analysis for urban growth is considered to identify the best urban growth locations (Biney & Boakye, 2021; Lan, Zheng, & Li, 2021).…”

Markazi Province has high potential for residential development due to its geopolitical location in the central part of Iran. This study investigated the possibility of residential area development in Markazi Province using a GIS‐based analytic network process. ArcGIS Version 10.6.1 and Super Decision Version 3.2 software were utilized for the zoning and assessment of criteria. All criteria, and their sub‐criteria, and limitations were gathered using national standards, literature review, and experts. According to the final residential area land suitability map, 16.74% of Markazi Province is highly or very highly suitable for urban development, even though 57.55% of the province's area (i.e., 30% of its current cities) are located in the exclusion zone. Results suggested that most parts of the province do not have desirable conditions for residential zoning. Further attention and deepened GIS monitoring over an extended period would be beneficial before future development is considered. In particular, the natural limitations in the region—such as slope—impede development potential. The study provides an alternative quantifiable and verifiable approach for sustainable urban planning from a land use policy perspective.
