“…erefore, it is very important that the urban construction land interpreted by remote sensing is the basis for the scientific evaluation of GUEUCL. Secondly, most scholars only evaluate GUEUCL from a single land pollution indicator as the undesired output, which is not enough to comprehensively express the undesired output of urban construction land to scientifically evaluate GUEUCL [22,25]. erefore, this article comprehensively considers the wastewater, chemical requirements, ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, soot, and other pollutants in the land pollution as the pollution load index to express the unintended output of urban construction land, and more scientifically and accurately evaluates GUEUCL.…”

How to explore the allocation and green utilization level of urban construction land resources has an important role in the sustainable development of the city. Taking 47 counties and cities in Jilin Province as an example, this paper evaluates the green utilization efficiency of urban construction land (GUEUCL) in 2011 and 2015 by using the unexpected output super-SBM model and explores the spatial-temporal differentiation characteristics and influencing factors of GUEUCL by using GIS and machine learning methods. The results show that (1) the GUEUCL in Jilin Province is low, mainly distributed in small- and medium-sized areas, with significant positive spatial correlation. The L-L concentration area is mainly distributed in the eastern region, but the degree of spatial concentration is small, the spatial structure characteristics of the two periods are different, and the spatial heterogeneity is large; (2) the internal factor decomposition shows the impact of pure technical efficiency on the comprehensive efficiency and the restriction ability is stronger than the scale efficiency, that is to say, the factors such as management and technology have a greater impact on the comprehensive efficiency; (3) the relative importance of external factors has always been ranked as socioeconomic factors, urban development factors, and natural science and technology factors. This paper focuses on the temporal and spatial characteristics of each county and city and the influencing factors, which provides a certain value reference for the pilot of ecological construction and the development of ecoenvironmental benefit economic system in Jilin Province.

“…The interaction relationship between urban sprawl and economic growth has been a strongly debated issue for a long time. From the perspective of influencing mechanisms, several studies addressed the effects of urban sprawl on GDP growth and mainly paid attention to the macro panel data [8][9][10][11]. Several micro-level studies have examined the effects of land structure, land price, resource input intensity, and industrial clusters at different urbanization stages on GDP growth [12,13].…”

This paper investigates how urban sprawl and the quality of economic growth interact and further studies the spatial-temporal decoupling characteristics of both. To achieve this, a framework was developed to better explain both the different dimensional effects urban sprawl exerts on the quality of economic growth and their reverse feedback relation. A sample of 285 Chinese cities (2003 to 2016) were analyzed, employing both a decoupling model and spatial correlation analysis. The findings indicated that urban sprawl and the quality of economic growth are related via scale, structure, technological efficiency, and technological progress effects. In practice, with increasing quality of economic growth, the urban sprawl index decreases at the national level. At prefecture-city level, the types of decoupling between urban sprawl and the quality of economic growth showed clear periodical and unbalanced characteristics. Furthermore, decoupling showed a significant agglomeration effect in Chinese cities, which is mainly mediated by the types High-High and Low-Low. This study provides a significant contribution to the relevant acknowledge system by providing a comprehensive theoretical framework toward an understanding of how urban expansion interacts with the quality of economic growth. Furthermore, their decoupling types and spatial differences that are critical for the urban sustainable development have been identified, thus providing several important insights for both academics and urban policy makers.

“…The urban-rural spatial structure, a regional reflection of humans' social, economic, and cultural activities under specific circumstances, illustrates the spatial dichotomy between urban and rural areas. In addition, with the rapid development of urbanization, urban sprawl has brought great challenges to urban and rural eco-environments [6][7][8], especially in China [9,10]. How to protect and maintain ecosystem security during the process of urban growth, to resolve the contradiction between This study offers two contributions to knowledge: (1) This study attempts to construct an integrated simulation model to simulate urban-rural spatial structures; and (2) this study offers an analysis of Harbin's urban-rural spatial structure on a regional scale from an ecological perspective.…”

Due to their long-term dual structures and rapid urbanization, cities and villages in developing countries are undergoing the challenges of urban-rural integration and ecological security. This study aims to determine the pattern of urban-rural spatial structures under the circumstances of ecological security in the future to promote the integrated, coordinated, green, and sustainable development of urban-rural spaces. Using a quantitative evaluation method, the logistic-CA model, the LCP (least cost path) model, and a classification of ecological importance, this study constructed an integrated simulation model based on a green infrastructure assessment and applied the model to simulate and predict the urban-rural spatial structure of the Harbin city territory (Harbin) in 2035. The results indicate that the urban-rural hierarchical scale structure of Harbin comprises a central city, sub-central city, central town, major town, common town, central village, and general village. The urban-rural traffic network structure forms a pattern of “radiation + grid”, with Harbin city at the center of the structure. The urban-rural land use zoning structure consists of eco-spaces, agricultural spaces, and construction spaces. It can be concluded that in 2035, the urban-rural spatial structure of Harbin will show an increasing development tendency, where single-center, medium, and small cities in will Harbin develop, and traffic systems above the county level will also improve.
