Analysis of the coordinated evolution and driving mechanism of the coupling of tourism economy and urbanization in Southwest China
The coordinated development of the tourism economy and urbanization is one of the hot issues in the practice and research of regional development. Exploring the complex dynamic relationship between the two can promote new urbanization construction and sustainable regional economic development. This paper uses the coupled coordination degree (CCD) model and exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) model to study the spatiotemporal evolution charac…
Subnational protected areas in China experienced disproportional increases in anthropogenic activities from 2000 to 2020
Protected areas (PAs) are among the most effective means of protecting biodiversity. Effectively and sustainably managing PAs has become an urgent priority in China. However, there is currently a lack of comparable long-term quantitative understanding of anthropogenic activities across different levels of PAs in China. This study employs the human footprint (HF) as a comprehensive indicator, using various methods, including buffer analysis, piece…
Optimizing global protected areas to address future land use threats to biodiversity
Biodiversity faces heightened threats due to increasing global urbanization and land use intensity. Protecting global biodiversity through optimized protected areas is essential, yet current studies encounter challenges in measuring biodiversity, analyzing threat effects, and defining optimization pathways. We propose a framework to assess the impact of future land use changes on biodiversity in protected areas. By simulating biodiversity changes…
Natural Disasters and Local Governments' Fiscal Misconduct
Preventing fiscal misconduct associated with disaster‐aid related windfall revenue poses significant challenges for governments due to the unpredictable and often temporary nature of such income streams. This study examines how natural disasters affect fiscal misconduct among local governments by using five major earthquakes in recent China. Utilizing county‐level data compiled from five destructive earthquakes from 2012 to 2018 and a Difference …
The effect of grain size on the relationship between urbanization and bird diversity
Urban land expanded closer to protected areas in China
Various types of protected areas (PAs) are important for biodiversity conservation and essential for the 2050 Vision for Biodiversity. Rapid urban expansion affects the effectiveness of PAs in many ways. However, we still lack a clear understanding of the spatial relationship between urban expansion and different types of PAs in China during the last 30 years. Here, we analyzed the spatiotemporal changes in such relationship based on the boundari…

The current study examines whether acculturation stress influences migrant children's mental health through the mediators of the satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence. A sample of 484 migrant children is obtained in Kunming, China using a multi-stage cluster random sampling. Data are analyzed through structural equation model…
Coresidence with kin and subjective well-being in the transition to adulthood
Although residence patterns during the transition to adulthood are dynamic and have a high influence on subjective well-being, empirical studies are scarce, especially with regard to international comparisons. The way living arrangements during the transition to adulthood are normatively framed in bilinear, neolocal kinship cultures is very different from the way they are framed in patrilineal, patrilocal cultures. Thus, living arrangements such …

The transition to adulthood in China, Germany and the US
We explore cross-country differences in the transition to adulthood between China, Germany, and the USA. Using large-scale panel studies, we examine the timing of leaving the parental home, first marriage and first parenthood. For those born between 1933 and 1988, we observe a delay in the timing of first marriage in all three societies. But the delay is steeper in the USA than in Germany and China. The age at first childbirth is increasing in al…

Socio-economic Differentials in Birth Masculinity in China
This article examines the relationship between birth masculinity and socio-economic levels in China. Both 2000 and 2005 data suggest the presence of a non-linear relationship between the sex ratio at birth and socio-economic status, with a lower sex ratio at birth observed among both the poorest and the richest households. This inverted-U pattern is significantly different from what is observed in India and what has been assumed previously for Ch…
