“…The use of buffer would require five times analysis for each distance including 60, 150, 500, 1000, and 4000 meters. There is another study performing multiple ring buffer analyses for five different distances (Jensen et al, 2019); however, in this study, not only point features but also original shapes of mines are considered; therefore, the ring buffer is not selected as an analysis method. Thus, the choice of near or buffer analysis should vary depending on the aims and scope of studies.…”

“…The proximity between mines and urban or rural land uses is not always caused by the expansion of mines but also caused by the expansion of urban in the direction of the pre-existing unwanted land uses (Jensen et al, 2019). Besides, the process that workers of mines move to the areas with close proximity to mines is described as "in-migration and return-migration around mining operations" (Andrews et al, 2017).…”

“…Indeed, remote sensing has been a tool for the analysis of mining lands. Some studies performed land use and land cover change analysis and comparing two or more years in terms of land uses affected by mineral extraction in their case studies including certain mines (Paull et al, 2006;Matejicek and Kapockova, 2010;Petropoulos et al, 2013;Li et al, 2015;Mondal et al, 2016;Jensen et al, 2019). Examples of GIS-based studies monitor the changes in the impacts around a mine site in Maharashtra (Sinha et al, 2019) and calculate the mining density and its change in time and distances from dwelling in a region of Poland (Blachowski, 2015).…”

The proximity of mineral extraction sites to settlements is a conflicting issue for urban studies. This study aims at exploring the change in the proximity of mines to settlements in Turkey between the years 2012 and 2018 and determining the cities which continue to be near mineral extraction sites. For this aim, analysis tools of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used with the mineral extraction sites and urban settlements layers of the Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) land cover data of Turkey for these years. The findings of this study showed that the area of mines adjacent to settlements is increased from nearly 19905 hectares to nearly 21305 hectares and the area of mineral extraction sites within 1 and 500 meters to the nearest settlements is increased from nearly 16421 hectares to nearly 19967 hectares from 2012 to 2018.

“…Based on the above analysis, as a unit connecting the countryside and the city, the town area can well reflect the characteristics of the countryside and study the rural development from the microperspective [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. As the carrier of rural landscape, rural production, and life, the characteristics of rural land use are also indicators of rural development.…”

Rurality highlights the intrinsic differences between urban and rural communities. The comprehensive rurality evaluation index system is difficult to obtain indicators that reflect purely rural or urban characteristics; in addition, most of the data used in the evaluation index system come from statistical data, and the authenticity of the data cannot be guaranteed. Taking 25 towns in Lixia County and Shanghe County in Jinan city as the study area and using land use data and economic statistics data, the rurality evaluation system based on the land use transformation was constructed, the changes of the rurality index and intensity from 2009 to 2015 were calculated, and the driving factors of the rurality were analyzed. The results showed that, from 2009 to 2015, the rurality difference among towns in Lixia County decreased, the rurality difference among towns in Shanghe County increased, the rurality intensity of Lixia County was lower than that of Shanghe County, and the rurality index gap between the two counties was increasing. In 2009, the rurality grade of Lixia County was dominated by weak intensity (84.62%), and the rurality of the county changed greatly in 2015, with a large proportion (76.92%) still being weak intensity. In 2009, the proportion of relatively strong intensity was dominated (33.33%) in Shanghe County; in 2015, weak intensity accounted for a large proportion (41.67%). Changes of rurality intensity in Lixia County and Shanghe County were different. There was a significant correlation between the rurality index and geographical elevation, GDP, and the distance from the center of the town government, the road construction level, the urbanization level, and the education level. This paper can provide an empirical reference for rurality index research.

“…On the other hand, urban fringe areas, as potential resources for urban reconversion and regeneration, have been the subject of typical development strategies [11,12]. Over time, in some situations, these spaces have become areas/spaces of contestation, for which housing activism and several civic initiatives have risen and been manifested.…”

Housing Activism Initiatives and Land-Use Conflicts: Pathways for Participatory Planning and Urban Sustainable Development in Bucharest City, Romania

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents a geographical perspective of the phenomena of housing activism and land-use conflicts per se. It focuses not only on their spatial manifestations, but also on the complexity of the perceived meanings, values, and the power relationships among the involved parties, rooting into activist geographies. The research methodology was based on two complementary methods: frame analysis to observe the emergence, sources of land-use conflicts, and nature of the relationships between the actors involved; and discourse analysis to explore the social interactions and power relations between structures and practices related to housing activism. For a more inclusive perspective on the sources of land-use conflicts and housing activism initiatives in Bucharest, we used a combination and triangulation of various sources and modes of data collection. Compared with other European cities with active civic engagement, this phenomenon is still emerging in Bucharest. Although conflicts are numerous, the civic initiatives are still fragmented and fail to generate a vision and implementable public policy. However, multiple assaults on urban spaces (green areas, historically protected areas) have resulted in more actions and actors (individual or organised) becoming civically engaged. The article contributes to the environmental debates that stress housing activism as a pathway to participatory planning initiatives.
