“…We also focused on the assessment of six land-use types, yet in essence, a second-level classification will be needed to develop the appropriate regional land-use planning, subdividing into each second-level land-use type regulation. Furthermore, the importance of effective land-use planning for a reduction in earthquake catastrophe was highly stressed [ 50 ], and future analyses could calculate the numerical value of increasing or decreasing land-use area [ 51 ]. Although our endeavors to explore PLES structural adjustment could better benefit territorial spatial governance, suggestions in this paper remained derived from qualitative analysis, and there were no clear visual results to solve the issue.…”

Ecological conservation red line (ECRL) is gaining increasing academic attention as delimiting the minimum space scope of ecological protection and the bottom line of ecological security. Taking Nanjing as a case study, we divided the territory into ecological and non-ecological redline areas (ERAs and NERAs, respectively). This paper highlights two key research issues based on the 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2018 annual remote sensing data: (i) quantitative analysis of the Ecological Redline Policy (ERP) validity by conducting a horizontal comparison of the ERAs and NERAs; and (ii) exploration of the land-use transitions and spatial pattern changes affecting ecosystem service value (ESV). Results showed that delineating ECRL could effectively slow down the decline rate of ESV. The trend of eco-quality deterioration was greater than eco-quality improvement in Nanjing, presenting an ESV that declined slightly in the whole. According to our findings, we suggest that reasonably increasing eco-lands (woodland and water area) and decreasing construction land will enhance the regional ESV. Meanwhile, promoting the transition from production space to ecological space and depressing the encroachment of living space on other space types, will be instrumental in mitigating the ESV decline. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable implications for spatial planning and sustainable development in Nanjing.

“…For example, although China is the most dynamic economic region globally, China's rural population decline rate was 47% between 1960 and 2015, the second-highest among the BRICS countries [1]. The practice of rural revitalization of developed countries provides guidance for determining the key factors of rural development in developing countries, such as the "one village one product" strategy in Japan that focuses on the development of characteristic products [2,3], urban agriculture development aimed at efficient production of scarce agricultural resources in Singapore [4], and the Saemaul Movement of South Land 2021, 10, 455 2 of 20 Korea focused on "diligence, self-help, and cooperation" [5,6]. However, no country can fully apply foreign rural development strategies.…”

Rural revitalization is a global problem. The measures should be adjusted to local conditions to make targeted efforts. Natural and socioeconomic resource factors should be considered in rural revitalization. Therefore, this study focuses on the dike–pond system, which is an important traditional agricultural cultural heritage in the Pearl River Delta of China, to illustrate the importance of identifying the utilization mode of a certain land-use type in village integrated with socioeconomic factors to promote rural revitalization. The study used principal component analysis (PCA) and the variance inflation factor (VIF) to identify the main factors influencing the land-use modes of the dike–pond systems, systematic cluster analysis to identify the modes, and interpretive structural modeling to clarify the influence relationships and structures of the factors. We found that the seven modes reflected the different characteristics, organizational structures, and interaction relationships of the factors. There were significant differences in the ecological processes between the seven modes. More detailed village planning should be performed. Strengthening the economic affordability of the operator should be regarded as important in policy guidance and support measures. Agricultural support measures need to be adjusted to different land-use type systems, and localized resources should be revitalized by the theory of “human–earth–sphere”.

“…Additional challenges in UA governance research are focused on systematic comparisons of multiple parameters, including social-ecological interactions, across case studies. UA case studies can be aggregated at such levels as cities, countries, and world regions (De Bon et al, 2010;Taylor and Lovell, 2014;Lohrberg et al, 2016;DuŽí et al, 2017;Gray et al, 2017;Soulard et al, 2017a;WinklerPrins, 2017;Diehl et al, 2020). Comparing and contrasting developing and developed countries, or the Global North and Global South, shows the convergence of certain UA trends along with continued distinctness (Bryld, 2003;WinklerPrins, 2017;Gray et al, 2020).…”
