“…Urbanization percent had increased from 35.4% in 1990 to 50% in 2001 (Xu et al, 2009). This research analyzed the dynamic change in agricultural land use in response to the rapid urbanization and industrialization to better understand the interaction between government's polices and farmer's economic interests.…”

“…Therefore, measurement of land urbanization is as important as population urbanization. The dynamic evaluation of land urbanization focuses mainly on measuring the quantity, speed and change of land-use structures Wang and Li, 2011;Deng et al, 2009;Xu et al, 2009;Tang, 2009;Feng and Chen, 2010;Zhang et al, 2010;Dong et al, 2011). However, most of the research is based on single or limited cases, which are unfavorable for inter-city comparisons.…”

Abstract:Land urbanization plays an important supporting and restriction role in the rapid and sustainable development of urbanization in China, and it shows distinctive spatial heterogeneity. Applying urban area as the basic research unit and urban construction land area as the core indicator, this paper establishes the conceptual framework and calculation method for the quantity and rate of land urbanization process. The study evaluates the spatial differentiation pattern of absolute and relative process of land urbanization in 658 cities in China from 2000 to 2010. The spatial distribution of cities with rapid land urbanization process is discussed, and the contribution rate and its spatial heterogeneity of major land use types are examined with the aid of GIS. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Land urbanization in China shows a clear spatial difference. The greater the city scale, the faster its land urbanization. The cities with rapid land urbanization show a significant pattern of central distribution in coastal regions and a scattered distribution in the inland regions. (2) Over the last 10 years, the average quantity of land urbanization in the 656 cities was 3.82 km 2 , the quantity of land urbanization is differentiated by administrative grade. The average rate of land urbanization was 6.89%, obviously faster than the speed of population urbanization. The rate of land urbanization reveals a pattern of differentiation between coastal and other cities. (3) In the past 10 years, the two primary land use types associated with land urbanization in China are residential and industrial, with a combined contribution rate of 52.49%. The greater the scale of the city, the more significant the driving effect of industrial land. In small-and medium-scale cities of the western and central regions, the growth of residential land is the primary driver of land urbanization, while in coastal urban agglomerations and cities on important communication axes, the growth of industrial land is the main driver. (4) Overall, urban population agglomeration, industrial growth and investment are the three drivers of land urbanization in China, but cities of different scales have different drivers.

“…In spite of many international and national efforts to ensure sustainable management of coastal areas especially after 2000s throughout various seas, the coastal countries still face severe pressures and problems which threaten coastal resources (Vivero and Mateos, 2005;Brennan, 2007;Shipman and Stojanovic, 2007;Burak et al, 2004, Xu et al, 2009Stuart, 2010;Musaoğlu et al, 2015). The importance of such areas is widely recognized, since anthropogenic pressures are becoming more and more intense like tendency to settle on the shores, changing agricultural production systems, industrial development, expanding transport infrastructure, and rising tourism.…”

Functional zoning of Akcakoca District located along the Western Black Sea Coast of Turkey is achieved by implementing the 'Methodology for Spatial Planning for the Coastal Zone' developed by European Union for coastal areas. The aim of applying the methodology was to realize functional zoning of the district that will eventually lead to spatial planning. In this technique, a typical base map at an appropriate scale and thematic layers are prepared for each of the environmental components for further analyses. The possibility to overlap different layers according to a specified procedure and to realize new theme mapping is a considerable factor while using GIS for the functional zoning. Identical grading system has been applied to each layer formed in order to achieve the overall importance and vulnerability maps of especially the natural components of the district. Functional zoning map is further developed through comparing different layers and current land-use information obtained from satellite imagery coupled with the findings of both the importance and vulnerability analyses. This attempt of applying such a methodology was a significant study as it addressed the decision makers on the multi criteria analyses through the visualized maps of different layers.
