“…It is worth mentioning that the highway is a single linear project in this study, so the research method of buffer zone is also adopted. Oliveira et al 62 considered social and environmental factors, and used buffer and landscape index analysis to analyze the changes in the landscape pattern of the Rio Doce State Park in Brazil. They believed that the substantial reduction of farmland area should be given enough attention.…”

In China and other countries, many highway projects are built in extensive and high-altitude flat areas called plateaus. However, research on how the materialisation of these projects produce a series of ecological risks in the landscape is very limited. In this research, a landscape ecological risk analysis model for high-altitude plateaus is proposed. This model is based on the pattern of land uses of the surrounding area. Our study includes buffer analysis, spatial analysis, and geostatistical analysis. We apply the model to the Qumei to Gangba highway, a highway section located in the southeast city of Shigatse at the Chinese Tibet autonomous region. Through global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis, the spatial clustering distribution of ecological risks is also explored. Overall, our study reveals the spatial heterogeneity of ecological risks and how to better mitigate them. According to a comparison of the risk changes in two stages (before and after the highway construction), the impact of highway construction on the ecological environment can be comprehensively quantified. This research will be of interest to construction practitioners seeking to minimize the impact of highway construction projects on the ecological environment. It will also inform future empirical studies in the area of environmental engineering with potential affection to the landscape in high-altitude plateaus.

“…This study used China as a case study, and it also provided insights into the achievement of sustainable urbanization that could guide other developing countries. Problems caused by rapid urbanization commonly exist in cities in the developing world, such as India (Ramachandra et al, 2015), Brazil (De Oliveira et al, 2019) and Egypt (Abd-Elmabod et al, 2019). Although the specifics will probably differ between countries and spatial scales, the demand for detailed nation-scale assessments on the UDLs to support target setting are likely to be common.…”

“…The method of detecting various land covers at various times at the same spatial level is known as the land cover change dynamics [33]. Calculating the land cover area of each class in the GMbNP area and the GMbNP area + buffer area allows for the analysis of the dynamics of land cover change.…”

It is critical to consider all aspects of conservation areas, inside and outside, when maintaining them. Land cover dynamics in conservation areas mostly have not yet been considered in conservation area management practices, both geographically and temporally. The advancement of technology with cloud computing can speed up and simplify the acquisition of data and information on the dynamics of land cover changes. This study aimed to analyze the dynamics of land cover change in the Gunung Merbabu National Park (GMbNP) area from 1995 to the present. The method for determining land cover change dynamics was used and assessed by creating a code for land cover classification using the random forest classification algorithm on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The results showed that from 1995 to 2020, pine forests in GMbNP area decreased by 575.765 ha from the previous 1427,961 ha in 1995. The dynamics of land cover changes outside the area need to be the concern of area managers because agricultural land and built-up land are increasing of 5.42% and 113.2%, significantly beyond the area. Referring to those dynamic conditions, it should be a concern in planning and policy-making conservation management.
