“…Therefore, formal and informal training in the management of natural resources is a factor that influences the behaviors of entrepreneurial farmers in Chinese forest zone. However, the average educational level for these farmers tends to be lower than the average level in the world [45]. As such, the central state and local governments should build an incentive structure to improve the educational level of farmers in China.…”

Abstract:Following the collective forest tenure reforms in China, many households pursued entrepreneurial activities creating substantial pressure on the environment. This study examines data collected from 462 informants in 10 provinces in Southern China to understand how changes in attitudes toward ecological protection behavior occur. The internal mechanisms of ecological attitudes were explored using structural equation modeling to obtain a function path. Ecological emotion has a direct effect on ecological protection behavior by acting as an intermediary between ecological knowledge and ecological protection. Perceived ecological severity mediates between ecological knowledge and emotion influencing entrepreneurial farmers' ecological protection behavior. The perception of individual effect is mediated by perceptions of ecological severity and ecological emotion, eventually affecting ecological protection behavior. A model of cognition-emotion-practice is proposed based on the findings.

“…Chinese urbanization faced serious issues like food security (Yang et al, 2000), urban sprawl (Jiang et al, 2016), open space loss (Mcdonald et al, 2010), and environmental degradation (Stern et al, 1996). Meanwhile, this urbanization process also caused rural migration , hollowed villages , arable land fallow (Long et al, 2009), socio-economical declined (Li et al, 2015) in wide rural areas. These urban and rural problems desiderate to be solved by implementing new urbanization policies and development model, and finally break the urban and rural dual structure and integrate urban and rural development.…”

“…During this period, Chinese urbanization entered a rapid development stage that caused a series of social, economic and environmental problems. These problems include a faster urbanization rate of land than of population (Lu, 2007), the over-consumption of ecological resources (Yao et al, 2011(Yao et al, , 2012, the depopulation of rural areas Liu, 2007), hollowed villages Long et al, 2009), and the decline of rural economic, industrial, and environmental conditions (Li et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2014a). To slow and eliminate these problems, the Chinese government promulgated the "National New Urbanization Plan (2014e2020)" to transform the urbanization model (Lu and Chen, 2015;Yao et al, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper aims to investigate the spatial patterns, temporal processes and driving mechanisms of urbanrural land use transformation (URLUT). Empirical study of Xuanhua district of Hebei province from 1996 to 2012 showed that urban-rural land use transformation index (URLUTI) decreased linearly with increasing distance to central downtown (DCD), and the gap between central and edge areas increased during 1996e2012. Spatial autocorrelation showed an accelerating clustered pattern, and the hot spots shifted from decentralization to centralization and then back to decentralization. Industrialization and urbanization were the basic driving factors of URLUT, and local, regional and national social and economic transformation deeply and widely affected its development. The study highlights that the regional development should implement correct urban-rural transformation strategy and plan according to its location and nature resources conditions, and obey the spatial laws of urban-rural transformation for improving the efficiency of land use and promoting urban-rural integration. Furthermore, the government's intervention to economic development should be reduced and let the market play more roles in the allocation of resources.

“…There are significant spatial variations in the experience and impact of economic and social restructuring in rural China (Li et al, 2015). Whilst rural income levels have improved in many regions, especially those close to large urban centers, urbanerural inequalities in income and uncoordinated urbanerural development have increased in more developed regions Liu et al, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tThis multidisciplinary special issue examines the contemporary rural restructuring in China, focusing on spatial restructuring, economic restructuring and social restructuring and the key challenges for rural areas, whether at local, regional, national or international level. The contributions to this special issue provide conceptualetheoretical and empirical takes on rural restructuring in China. However, the volatility and complexity of rural restructuring in China will present ongoing challenges for further research on the restructuring of rural China. In view of this, this themed edition makes a compelling call for more systematic research of rural restructuring based on extensive disciplinary interaction. This special issue is published to coincide with the 33rd International Geographical Congress (IGC) of IGU in Beijing.
