“…Most of the research paradigms on rural habitat issues are based on two major frameworks: one is the study of the natural suitability of rural habitat based on the perspective of rural tribes; the other is the study of the natural suitability of rural habitats based on the perspective of rural tribes. The analysis focuses on the dominant factors affecting the natural suitability level of the rural habitat, such as hydrological conditions, climatic conditions, topographic conditions and natural disasters [17][18][19]. The study reveals the natural evolutionary pattern of the rural habitat level.…”

Taking China’s Qilian Mountains Nature Reserve as an example, entropy, hierarchical analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis methods were combined with geographically and temporally weighted regression to construct an evaluation index system of a rural habitat environment. The spatiotemporal characteristics of the evolution of the rural habitat environment in the Qilian Mountains Nature Reserve from 2000 to 2020 were revealed, and the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of factors affecting the evolution of the rural habitat environment in the Qilian Mountains were analyzed. The results show that during the research period, the rural habitat environment of the Qilian Mountains Nature Reserve obviously improved. The advantaged areas, such as Liangzhou and Shandan, are located mainly on flat terrain, with perfect supporting resources and convenient transportation. The disadvantaged areas, such as Qilian and Menyuan, are concentrated in the mountainous areas with poor natural conditions and inconvenient transportation. The rural habitat in the Qilian Mountains Nature Reserve shows an obvious positive spatial correlation, and areas with similar habitat are adjacent to each other. From 2000 to 2015, the high–high agglomeration area was located in Liangzhou, and the low–low agglomeration area was located in Menyuan. The rural habitat environment in the Qilian Mountains Nature Reserve is influenced by the average temperature, investment in fixed assets, the proportion of secondary and tertiary industries, PM2.5 concentration and CO2 emissions. The influence of various factors on the rural habitat showed obvious spatial and temporal heterogeneity. In rural revitalization, it is necessary to allocate resources to local conditions to promote the continuous improvement of the rural habitat environment in nature reserves.

The study is focused on gathering information to monitor sustainable land development and biodiversity. The article discusses the objectives and measures required to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 15 “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”. This paper shows the results of the analysis of key indicators and values for Ukraine. It also contains the developed conceptual diagram for managing the sustainable development of ecosystems and biodiversity. There were identified the main sources of statistical information, including traditional enterprise-level data and big data, and analyzed changes in indicators for monitoring the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at micro level under section “Environmental area”. The study also identified potential sources of information for calculating the presented indicators and explored the use of big data to develop an information base for monitoring, evaluating, and policy development related to sustainable land development and biodiversity. Further research and studies are needed to determine the algorithms of data processing, modelling and constructing of integrated indicators.

“…Urban land expansion affects sustainable development and is closely related to social and economic growth. The rapid expansion of urban land has led to serious social and environmental issues, such as the reduction of croplands [34] and irreversible damage to natural habitats and biodiversity [35,36]. Numerous scholars have extensively explored the social, economic, and environmental consequences of urban land expansion from a global perspective [37,38].…”

Coordinating the interrelationships among economic growth, land resource utilization, and carbon emissions is critical for promoting high-quality economic growth and achieving sustainable urban progress. According to the gravity model and the Tapio decoupling model, this study examined the decoupling relationships of economic growth with land expansion and carbon emissions in Zhejiang Province during the period of 2002–2017. We found that (1) The economic gravity center and the built-up area gravity center generally shifted towards the northwest; however, the carbon emission gravity center initially shifted towards the northwest and then towards the southwest. The spatial coupling between the economic gravity center and the built-up area gravity center exhibited a tendency of ‘first weakening, then strengthening, and last weakening’, whereas the spatial coupling between the economic gravity center and the carbon emission gravity center displayed a tendency of ‘first strengthening and then weakening’. (2) The decoupling of economic growth and land expansion is weak at every stage with effective controls on land expansion. However, in recent years, the phenomenon of ‘expansive negative decoupling’ has become prevalent in counties and cities surrounding the central city. The decoupling of economic growth and carbon emissions steadily increased at each stage, first ‘expansive coupling and expansive negative decoupling’, then ‘weak decoupling’, and finally ‘strong decoupling’. The urban low-carbon transformation effect is remarkable. (3) Zhejiang Province should prioritize addressing the regional imbalance and state instability in the decoupling relationships. It is crucial to comprehensively consider the natural resource endowment, macro-policy factors, and urban development orientation of counties and cities while implementing differentiated planning and control strategies, which will promote regional coordination and comprehensive, high-quality development in all areas.
