“…Chinese and foreign scholars have conducted wide-ranging research on the ILUE, including evaluation methods, regional differences in the ILUE, and factors affecting the ILUE [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Evaluation methods for the ILUE need to be quantitative.…”

“…Evaluation methods for the ILUE need to be quantitative. Existing methods include DEA, the Cobb-Douglas production function, stochastic frontier analysis, multicriteria decision-making theory, geographic information systems, the direction distance function, and the Malmquist-Luenberger index [50][51][52][53][54][55]. For example, Zhao et al (2016) used stochastic frontier analysis to measure the technical efficiency of inputs and outputs based on provincial panel data for China from 2007 to 2013.…”

The Chinese government is committed to its goal of building a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society (RES). The hope is that establishing an RES will accelerate social and economic development, improve resource utilization, and transform industrialization. This paper focuses on the Changsha–Zhuzhou–Xiangtan urban agglomeration (CZTUA) in Hunan Province, which is a pilot for the RES, as an example. A slack-based measure model based on data envelopment analysis was used to evaluate industrial land use efficiency (ILUE), which includes undesirable outputs. We collected panel data from 2003 to 2018 and used the difference-in-differences method to investigate whether the ILUE in the CZTUA has improved since the implementation of the RES in 2007. The results showed that: (1) the ILUE in the CZTUA increased from 0.25 in 2003 to 0.48 in 2018; (2) from 2007 to 2018, the establishment of the RES increased the ILUE in the CZTUA by 24.6%; (3) gross domestic product and the secondary industry structure ratio had key roles in improving the ILUE in the CZTUA; (4) there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic development and the ILUE in the CZTUA; (5) since the establishment of the RES, the pollution emission index of the CZTUA has clearly decreased each year. These findings not only provide a reference for the Chinese government for following up the formation of the RES and its promotion in other regions of China, but may also contribute to sustainable economic development in other transitional countries in the world.

“…In 2016, the total area of urban industrial land in China reached 10,250.60 square kilometers [2], an increase of 5409.06 square kilometers over the area in 2000 [3]. The rapid expansion of urban industrial land has produced a series of negative externalities while meeting the needs of urban economic development [4][5][6][7][8]. A large number of the industrial land developed has led to the conversion of the cultivated land, which is accompanied by some serious negative social and ecological impacts, such as the loss of farmland, decline of rural areas, reduction of biodiversity, and emergence of ecological degradation.…”

Can Market Reforms Curb the Expansion of Industrial Land?—Based on the Panel Data Analysis of Five National-Level Urban Agglomerations

As China entered marketization in the late 1980s, it soon established a market economy system and implemented tax-sharing reforms. Driven by the marketization, local governments have rapidly developed the economy under the pressure of fiscal competition caused by the reform of the tax-sharing system. Industrial land is an important factor of local economic development, and it enables local governments to invest heavily in the industrial sector to promote economic development, leading to urban expansion. In order to shed light on the relationship between the market reforms implemented by the Chinese government and the expansion of urban industrial land, this paper used the data of 77 prefecture-level cities in China’s five national-level urban agglomerations as research samples from 2007 to 2018. We first constructed the marketization rate of industrial land (MIL) and used the panel data model to examine whether China′s market reform will curb the expansion of industrial land. The results showed that: (1) land market reform can restrain the scale of industrial land expansion, and the impact is different in different urban agglomerations; (2) under the effect of marketization, foreign direct investment (FDI) has restrained the expansion of industrial land to a certain extent. The amount of industrial investment (AII), the ratio of secondary industry to GDP structure (RSG), and the number of industrial enterprises (NIE) will aggravate the expansion of industrial land. We suggest that the Chinese government should deepen the reform of land marketization and develop a differentiated land market mechanism. It is also necessary for local governments to develop stock land, improve the efficiency of industrial land use, increase the investment in advanced technology, and improve the intensive utilization of industrial land. The research provides a reference for other countries in the world that are developing in a transitional period to restrain unlimited land expansion and save land resources in the process of economic development.

“…Intensive land use assessments have achieved insights for the academic community, and the following notable progress has been made: (1) From the perspective of evaluation scales, this type of assessment generally includes a macro evaluation (comprehensive evaluation of national, regional or urban intensive land use) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], a medium evaluation (in fact, it is a classified evaluation or thematic evaluation of land use) [16][17][18][19], and a micro evaluation (enterprise and plot evaluation) [20][21][22][23][24]. From the macro perspective, intensive land use assessment focuses on status evaluations, policy discussions and impact factor analyses of industrial land use [8,[25][26][27][28]. Among these, the evaluation results of intensive land use in development zones are extremely rich, and such studies are mainly based on the "Evaluation Procedures for Intensive Land Use in Development Zones" [29].…”

Free trade zones represent an important system innovation space to realize economic agglomeration advantages with high-level openings. However, its evaluation of land intensive use has not received enough attention. The goal of this paper is to build a land use performance evaluation index system in line with the development trend of industrial economy and the characteristics of mixed land use in the free trade zones. An evaluation index system is constructed based on the three factors of land use status, land use efficiency and pilot free trade zone influence. Using the Delphi method and the entropy method, an empirical evaluation of the intensive land use level in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone is conducted. The results show the following: (1) integrating new indicators such as the free trade zone influence, social and ecological benefits into the evaluation index system show a characteristic and innovative land use evaluation; (2) in terms of the level of intensive land use, the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone has the highest intensity, followed by the Yangshan Free Trade Port Zone, and the Pudong Airport Comprehensive Free Trade Zone has the lowest intensity; and (3) development time, degree of land use, differences in leading functions, industrial land structures, and the diversification of employment structures are important factors that influence the differences in the levels of intensive land use in the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone. This study also expands the performance evaluation of industrial land to the performance evaluation of construction land and provides references for industrial transformation and urban renewal of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone.
