“…China's land development is changing from production space-oriented alone to coordinated mode of production-living-ecological space development. Land use and cover change (LUCC) reflects the changes in spatial pattern due to coupled interactions between the human and environmental systems (Faludi et al, 2009;Fan et al, 2013;Pelucha et al, 2013). To optimize the land use, it is imperative to understand the evolution of ecosystems at geo-graphical landscapes and at different economical levels and stages as a proportional measure of structure to functional space.…”

Hengduan Mountains offer land space for a variety of ecological services. However, the sustainable development and management of land space has been challenged by increased human activities in recent years. This paper performs the spatial pattern analysis of the quantitative and structural changes of various landscapes at different altitudes, and uses the land use data in 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2015 to reveal how various land patterns have changed. The results show that, within the production-living-ecological space schema, the ecological space dominates Hengduan Mountains, while the production and living space was mainly distributed in south region. During 1990-2015, the production-living-ecological spatial changes had been gradually accelerated and the regional differences had become more prominent. The agricultural production space had continuously decreased by 1132.31 km 2 , and the industrial and mining production space had rapidly increased by 281.4 km 2 during 1990-2015. The living space had steadily increased, and the ecological space had increased with fluctuations. The land space pattern in Hengduan Mountains was greatly restricted by the terrain, such as altitude and slope. The implementations of China Western Development Strategy and the Returning Farmland to Forest Program had favorably promoted the changes of land spatial pattern in Hengduan Mountains.

“…While the share of less favoured areas (LFAs) in the Czech Republic is lower than in the majority of EU28 countries, 42% of all Czech municipalities (Pelucha et al, 2013) and almost one half of the agricultural areas are located in LFAs (Giannakis and Bruggeman, 2015): see Fig. 1.…”

“…This is notwithstanding the fact that for Southern Europe, cropland abandonment was found to be a complex phenomenon that might also have positive aspects for soils and biodiversity (Rodrigo-Comino et al, 2017). Both earlier and more recent sources (Cooper et al, 2006;IfLS, 2012;Ministry of Agriculture, 2016;Pelucha et al, 2013) are consistent in upholding the synergistic effect of the LFA support with the agri-environment and farm competitiveness measures, with plausible benefits for the environmental value of permanent grasslands.…”

Subsidy to less favoured area (LFA) farms is central to rural development policy in the European Union. Here, three categories of LFA support are assessed: farm competitiveness measures, LFA measures, and agri-environment measures. These categories of measures are complementary to safeguarding land management and delivering ecosystem benefits. Based on historical data for the Czech Republic, this paper endeavours to illustrate potential methods for assessing the LFA subsidies. In sum, rigorous methods to evaluate LFA evidence are still at their very starting point, even as they are necessary in order to ascertain the Community's capability, alongside the local, regional, or national institutional capability. A positive trend has been identified with regard to stabilizing the available rural development budget for the policy priority "Restoring, preserving and enhancing agroecosystems".
