“…The IS method operates broadly as follows: choose suitable indicators to set up a plan index system, and confirm the target for each indicator; then choose a suitable model to synthesize these indicators and evaluate whether the overall target fulfills the requirement of land ecological balance. Some researchers choose indicators on the basis of the composition of available land resources, such as water, soil and biology [4]; others set up an index system that relies on an assessment of the integrated natural/social/economic complexity of the ecosystem [5]. For example, urban sprawl analysis using the index methods of Shannon entropy (SE) in information theory were carried out in Asmara, Eritrea [6]: variables such as SE, the urban sprawl index (USI), the land consumption rate (LCR), and the land absorption coefficient (LAC) related to urbanization revealed interesting facts about that city [7].…”

Abstract:In recent years, changes in land use resulting from rapid urbanization or urban sprawl have brought about many negative effects to land ecosystems, and have led to entropy increases. This study introduces the novel ideas of a planning regulation coefficient for sustainable land-use planning in order to decrease entropy, combined with the CLUE-S model to predict land-use change. Three scenarios were designed as the basis for land-use projections for Guangzhou, China, in 2015, and the changes in the land ecological service function for each scenario were predicted. The results show that, although the current land-use plan is quite reasonable, it will be necessary to further strengthen the protection of farmland and important ecological service function areas.

“…The important ecological projects in Hubei Province, such as the Three Gorges Reservoir and South-to-North Water Transfer Project, which makes the ecosystem security of Hubei Province of great significance to China [49]. The land with the ecological function (e.g., EL, EPL and PEL) accounted for 92.41% of the total area of Hubei Province in 2014, especially the EL was the largest of ELPL.…”

Ecological-living-production land (ELPL) is gaining an increasing attention of governors, planners and scholars to alleviate ecological deterioration on the premise of ensuring regional sustainable development in China. This paper has built an ecological-living-production land classification system (ELCS) by the reclassification method, and further analyzed the spatio-temporal characteristics and evolution mechanism of ELPL from 2009 to 2014 with a case study of Hubei Province of Central China. The results show that (1) land with an ecological function held a dominant role in Hubei Province. Ecological land (EL) and production-eco land (PEL) covered the largest areas. The area of EL was the largest in Western Hubei Eco-cultural Tourism Circle (WHETC), and the area of PEL accounted for the largest proportion in Wuhan Urban Circle (WUC). (2) Land with an ecological function was decreasing continuously, while the land with living function expanded rapidly. Additionally, the intensity of ELPL changes in the WUC was higher than that in the WHETC. (3) The changes of ELPL threatened the food and ecological security and adversely affected the sustainable development. The factors of population growth and GDP increase were the main driving forces of ELPL change. The results of this study provide valuable information for planning decision makings (e.g., the ELPL spatial pattern optimization).

“…Implementing this tactic requires farmland expropriation-compensation balance that may result in quality decrease of newly increased farmland, that is, some farmlands with good quality were expropriated for urban and rural construction while newly increased farmlands with poor quality were used for the occupied farmlands compensation (Yu et al, 2010;Zheng & Shen, 2007). In addition, northeast China is the most important grain production base and implementing such a tactic may lead to decrease in both farmland quantity and quality, which endangers national food security.…”
