“…There is no doubt that rapid growth of the urban area and population will bring a great deal of urban and environmental problems. The rapid economic development and frequent human activities in Hangzhou boost the urbanization, as various infrastructures were built so as to be compatible with the development of different industries [37,38]. For example, railways, airports, and highways were required to be upgraded, or the number of these infrastructures had to be increased [39].…”

As one of the rapidly-developing mega cities in China, Hangzhou has experienced great land use change during the past three decades. By analyzing land use change in designated period, it is beneficial to understand urbanization process in Hangzhou, and undertake further urban management and urban planning. In this study, the land use change from 1990 to 2017 in Hangzhou urban area was detected by a method of supervised classification with Landsat TM images from 1990, 1997, 2004, 2010 and 2017, and analyzed by a Markov matrix. The results show that from 1990 to 2017, a great deal of rural areas transformed into built up areas in the Hangzhou urban area. Consequently, the urban area of Hangzhou increased eight times over the period from 1990 to 2017. This may imply that such a change should be directly related to the Chinese government policy, of which the main factor is rapidly-developing urbanization in China, such as in Hangzhou. Thus, it is believed that China’s land use change is going to be small in the following decades. This may indicate that China’s urban construction is slowing down, while its urban planning is being shifted from construction to management.

“…The Economic corridor connects China and Europe in a web of roads, ports, high-speed rails, power lines, pipelines and other infrastructures with the goal of increasing peace, cooperation, and mutual benefits for developing countries in between (Fallon, 2015;Guo et al, 2017). Largescale projects, such as railways and highways, usually cause an extensive LULCC (Xiong, Beckmann, & Tan, 2018). In most instances, studies have focused on the strategic and economic potential of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) program (Blanchard, Blanchard, & Dreyer, 2017;Brewster, 2017;Chung, 2018;He, Huang, & Zhang, 2016;Huang, 2016;Leverett & Bingbing, 2017;McBride, 2015;Peyrouse & Raballand, 2015;Pomfret, 2019;Sleeter et al, 2018).…”

Large-scale projects, such as the construction of railways and highways, usually cause an extensive Land Use Land Cover Change (LULCC). The China-Central Asia-West Asia Economic Corridor (CCAWAEC), one key large-scale project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), covers a region that is home to more than 1.6 billion people. Although numerous studies have been conducted on strategies and the economic potential of the Economic Corridor, reviewing LULCC mapping studies in this area has not been studied. This study provides a comprehensive review of the recent research progress and discusses the challenges in LULCC monitoring and driving factors identifying in the study area. The review will be helpful for the decision-making of sustainable development and construction in the Economic Corridor. To this end, 350 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, as well as book chapters were analyzed based on 17 attributes, such as main driving factors of LULCC, data collection methods, classification algorithms, and accuracy assessment methods. It was observed that: (1) rapid urbanization, industrialization, population growth, and climate change have been recognized as major causes of LULCC in the study area; (2) LULCC has, directly and indirectly, caused several environmental issues, such as biodiversity loss, air pollution, water pollution, desertification, and land degradation; (3) there is a lack of well-annotated national land use data in the region; (4) there is a lack of reliable training and reference datasets to accurately study the long-term LULCC in most parts of the study area; and (5) several technical issues still require more attention from the scientific community. Finally, several recommendations were proposed to address the identified issues.

“…By 2024, global air traffic volume will reach 7.2 billion passenger movements, which represents an average annual growth rate of 3.7%. In this global aviation market, China is expected to become the largest player, with both the expansion of airlines and its airport infrastructure [1]. In 2016, the market share of China's civil aviation industry was 50.4%, exceeding the global market by 50% for the first time [2].…”

A Network Modelling Approach to Flight Delay Propagation: Some Empirical Evidence from China

This paper examines flight delay propagation in air transport networks. Delays add to additional costs, inefficiencies, and unsustainable development. An integrated flight-based susceptible-infected-susceptible (FSIS) model was developed to analyse the flight delay process from a network-based perspective. The probability of flight delay propagation was determined using a translog model. The model was applied to an airline network consisting of thirty-three routes involving three airlines. The results show that the propagation probability is network-related and varies across different routes. The variation is related to the flight frequencies at airports, route distances, scheduled buffer times, and the propagated delay time. Whereas buffer time has a greater impact on smaller airports, flight movement has a greater impact on larger airports. Having a better understanding of how delays happen can help the development of strategies to avoid them. This will lead to less costs, higher efficiencies, and more sustainable airport and airline development.
