“…In this study, we presented the overall increasing trends in both the developed land area and the associated NTBIs of China's 36 key cities, visually reflecting the urbanization process and developmental inequality between different regions [43]. Benefiting from their role in national prefecture ranks, most of these key cities are the preferred destination for intra-and inter-provincial migrators, and international investors, therefore dominating the overall patterns of population agglomeration and capital flow within the national prefecture framework [48]. There were considerable variations in the growth patterns of the developed land area and the associated NTBIs among these cities.…”

The satellite-observed nighttime light emission (NTLE) data provide a new method for scrutinizing the footprint of human settlements. Changing NTLEs can be attributed to the direct/ indirect influences of highly complex factors that are beyond the ability of simple statistical models to distinguish. Besides, the relatively coarse resolution of the NTLE products combined with light from human settlements may produce misleading results, as the relationship between spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the growth of developed land (e.g., urban and rural residences, shopping centers, industrial parks, mining plants, and transportation facilities) and the associated NTLEs has not been adequately analyzed. In this study, we developed a total nighttime brightness index (TotalNTBI) to measure the NTLEs with the defense meteorological satellite program/operational linescan system (DMSP/OLS) nighttime light data enhanced by sharpening the edges of the pixels. Thirty-six key cities in China were selected to investigate the relationship between the total developed land area and the associated TotalNTBI from 2000 to 2013 using panel regression and a simplified structural equation model (SEM). The results show that the overall trend in TotalNTBI agreed well with that of the total developed land area (mean adjusted R 2 = 0.799). The panel regression models explained approximately 71.8% of the variance of total developed land area and 92.4% of the variance in TotalNTBI. The SEM revealed both the direct and indirect influences of independent variables on the total developed land area and the associated TotalNTBI. This study may provide useful information for decision-makers and researchers engaged in sustainable land development, urban management, and regional developmental inequality, focusing on recent issues, such as retrospective analysis of human footprint with sharpened nighttime NTLE products, the loss of natural and semi-natural land due to the sprawling developed land area indicated by intensively lit area, and the low efficiency of land development indicated by the anomalies of developed land area and associated NTBIs. global change, as the role of humans will affect the earth's future [2,3] and eventually determine the fate of human society.Compared with the conventional census approach with its shortcomings of data scarcity, bias, and uncertainty, the remote sensing of nighttime light emissions (NTLEs) provides a new view method for scrutinizing the footprint of human activities. Nighttime light emissions signals captured by on-board sensors, such as those onboard the defense meteorological satellite program/operational linescan system (DMSP/OLS) in 1992-2013 and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) since 2012, have accumulated 26 years of nighttime light data. Together with survey and census data, archived nighttime light data effectively reflects the trajectory of human settlements associated with socioeconomic evolution, with a focus on population estimation [4,5], monitoring urban expansion and peri-urb...

“…Raising inequality and spatial concentration has been created a considerable social concern and scholarly interest, particularly in urban areas (Wei et al 2017). In pursuit of a sustainable management plan and establishment of urban environmental sustainability, the concerning authorities such as the local government should maintain a database related to ecological, economic and social values (Aziz et al 2019).…”

The impact of neighborhood services on land values: an estimation through the hedonic pricing model

A strong need exists to increase the knowledge and recognize the values of neighborhood services. This paper makes an attempt to examine the impact of neighborhood services on land values, through analysis based on results obtained from multi linear regression analysis. This case study was done in area of dense urban settlement to check the consequence of neighborhood services through the hedonic pricing model base variables which include the structural, locational, community and neighborhood services. The regression coefficient was checked at (p \ 0.05) level of significance for each variable. The primary data was collect through the questionnaire filling by random sampling and Punjab Urban Gazette was used for the verification of land values in study area. The results found a valuable potential on land and property values of neighborhood services through the regression analysis results express through R (0.926), R 2 (0.856) and coefficient tables to represent the effect of each individual variable on property and land values. Every individual variable play role in defining the values of land and property based upon its utilization such as larger the structure of a property, more the covered area, larger size of a property more the land area higher price. Similarly, for locational factor study in geography, a piece of land adjacent to the road have high land values 50-70% compare to those located at distance. Very less attention has been paid on such issues in the world due to lack of effective urban planning and research on such crucial issues. If empirical studies on such issue has been done, effective way can be obtained for urban planning.

“…For example, large cities were granted more political power, received more investment, and enjoyed more freedom in managing local development. As a result, the economical developed large cities experienced rapid urban expansion and attracted more migration from the agricultural population [54]. Such uneven urban expansion and rural-to-urban migration intensifies the regional gaps in urban development.…”

Analyzing the Decoupling between Rural-to-Urban Migrants and Urban Land Expansion in Hubei Province, China

et al. 2018

Rapid urbanization in China has caused a large number of rural-to-urban migrants (RUMs) and rapid urban land expansion (ULE). Understanding the relationship between RUMs and ULE has important implications for urban sustainable development. This study explored the spatial patterns of RUMs and ULE in Hubei Province from 2009 to 2014, and analyzed the relationship between the two using a decoupling model. The results show that: (1) a large proportion of the rural population migrated to urban areas in Hubei Province from 2009 to 2014, and the distribution of RUMs was uneven: developed areas attracted more RUMs than undeveloped regions; (2) the urban land in Hubei Province increased rapidly from 2009 to 2014, and the urban land use in Hubei Province was extensive and inefficient; (3) the decoupling types between RUMs and ULE in Hubei Province were dominated by expansive negative and weak decoupling; (4) according to the changes in per capita urban land area and decoupling types, the coordination relationship between RUMs and ULE in Hubei Province was divided into eight types, and while the relationship between RUMs and ULE in most areas were coordinated and beneficial to urban land intensive use, the rest were uncoordinated. Finally, reasonable implications for urban sustainable development and new land use policy were put forward.
