  • Making room for vernacular planning despite hyperurbanization

    Wossen Gebreyohannes Balcha, Anton Van Rompaey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Affairs2026Referências: 12

    Urbanization in the Global South is caught between the homogenizing waves of planetary capitalist transformation and speculation and localized differentiations due to acts of everyday survival. Despite the conceptual illumination planetary urbanization brought on the territorially omnipresent mechanisms of urbanization, transversal and confrontational qualities of Global South urbanization differentially hybridize those mechanisms. Within similar…

  • Predicting Future Evolution of Rural Out-Migration

    Open AccessSamuel Tumwesigye, Lisa-Marie Hemerijckx et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2025

    Rural out-migration is a development issue shaping rural-urban interaction in the global south. Population re-distribution from rural to urban areas has development consequences for both the source and the destination areas. At destination, this phenomenon contributes to rapid population growth, while at origin, it contributes to labour drain. To support integrated rural and urban development, it is imperative to predict rural out-migration flows…

  • Barriers to municipal solid waste management policy implementation. A case study in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

    Open AccessRubia Korstanje, Katarzyna Janusz et al.ARTICLESouth African Geographical Journal2024

    While literature extensively examines waste management issues in urban areas, limited attention has been given to rural developing waste contexts. This paper aims to understand the policy/implementation nexus between national and local government within the rural waste management context in two rural municipalities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The research utilizes a directed deductive content analysis applying a framework proposed by Pollans.…

  • African food system and biodiversity mainly affected by urbanization via dietary shifts

    Open AccessKoen De Vos, Charlotte Janssens et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2024Citada por: 3Referências: 10

    The rapid urbanization in Africa profoundly affects local food and ecological systems. According to earlier research, urbanization may cause food production and biodiversity losses as agricultural or natural lands are absorbed by expanding cities. Land-use displacement effects may buffer agricultural production losses or may lead to additional biodiversity losses but are often overlooked. Moreover, impacts of dietary changes associated with urban…

  • Spatial patterns of urbanisation in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Samuel Tumwesigye, Matthias Vanmaercke et al.ARTICLEDevelopment Southern Africa2023

    Sub-Saharan Africa is rapidly urbanising. This urbanisation may contribute to socio-economic development as more people participate in the urban economy. Nevertheless, rapid urbanisation is not always sustainable. Primary cities often grow fast, leaving secondary towns lagging behind with weaker economies. Viable strategies for sustainable urbanisation may therefore also need to focus on developing secondary towns. Nevertheless, very few studies,…

  • Socio-spatial analysis of regime shifts in Addis Ababa's urbanisation

    Open AccessAmanuel Weldegebriel, Meron Tekalign et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2023

    The urbanisation of Addis Ababa is a product of multilayered socio-spatial processes in temporal dimensions. To understand urbanisation, we employed a theoretical framework relevant to the developing world. The theoretical aspects were also supplemented with empirical evidence obtained from satellite images from 1974, 1991, and 2020. These years mark the end of three recognised regime shifts (imperialist, socialist, and contemporary globalised). …

  • Modeling Production-Living-Ecological Space for Chengdu, China

    Open AccessQi Cao, Junqing Tang et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Cities worldwide are facing the dual pressures of growing population and land expansion, leading to the intensification of conflicts in urban productive-living-ecological spaces (PLES). Therefore, the question of "how to dynamically judge the different thresholds of different indicators of PLES" plays an indispensable role in the studies of the multi-scenario simulation of land space changes and needs to be tackled in an appropriate way, given th…

  • Spatial Analysis of Intra-Urban Land Use Dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessAmanuel Weldegebriel, Engdawork Assefa et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2021Citada por: 1Referências: 13

    Currently, circa 30% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa resides in cities, and this figure is expected to double in 2040. The recent literature describes the urban expansion processes of African cities in much detail. However, the urbanization wave in Africa also leads to important intra-urban land use dynamics, which have important consequences on the quality of life within existing cities, which has received less attention. This study aims…

    This paper analyses built‐up area expansion and socioeconomic segregation within the Greater Paramaribo Region, Suriname. Built‐up expansion between 1987 and 2015 was assessed via time‐series analysis of Landsat images. By identifying visible spatial residential characteristics in Google Earth © images, the residential built‐up area was differentiated into rich, middle, middle to low, and poor residences, signifying different socioeconomic groups…

  • Daily Mobility, Livelihoods and Transport Policies in Kampala, Uganda

    Open AccessKatarzyna Janusz, Christian Kesteloot et al.ARTICLETijdschrift voor Economische en…2019Citada por: 1Referências: 30

    In order to construct a suitable transport policy, based on the needs of the inhabitants and city users, planners have to be aware of the needs of urban residents. In this research, Hägerstrand’s space‐time geography is used to understand constraints that individuals from contrasting livelihoods experience regarding their daily mobility in Kampala. To carry out economic activities, both poor and non‐poor face the need to travel, but moving in the…

  • Comparing Regional Patterns of Individual Movement Using Corrected Mobility Entropy

    Open AccessMaarten Vanhoof, Willem Schoors et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Technology2018

    In this paper, we propose a correction of the Mobility Entropy indicator (ME) used to describe the diversity of individual movement patterns as can be captured by data from mobile phones. We argue that a correction is necessary because standard calculations of ME show a structural dependency on the geographical density of observation points, rendering results biased and comparisons between regions incorrect. As a solution, we propose the Correcte…

  • Addressing the determinants of built-up expansion and densification processes at the regional scale

    Open AccessAhmed Mustafa, Anton Van Rompaey et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2018Citada por: 4Referências: 59

    An in-depth understanding of the main factors behind built-up development is a key prerequisite for designing policies dedicated to a more efficient land use. Infill development policies are essential to curb sprawl and allow a progressive recycling of low-density areas inherited from the past. This paper examines the controlling factors of built-up expansion and densification processes in Wallonia (Belgium). Unlike the usual urban/built-up expan…

  • Impacts of Resettlement Programs on Deforestation of Moist Evergreen Afromontane Forests in Southwest Ethiopia

    Open AccessKefelegn Getahun, Jean Poesen et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2017

    Severe land degradation and the consequent series of drought and famine episodes have caused major waves of human migration in Ethiopia over the past 5 decades. The main objective of this study was to assess the impacts of consecutive resettlement programs (spontaneous and planned) on the forests in southwest Ethiopia. The spatial distribution and extent of forest cover were mapped for the periods 1957, 1975, and 2007 based on visual interpretati…

  • Spatiotemporal Analysis of the Controlling Factors of Forest Cover Change in the Romanian Carpathian Mountains

    Open AccessSteven Vanonckelen, Anton Van RompaeyARTICLEMountain Research and Development2015

    Forest cover change is driven by complex processes that depend on political, conservation, and biophysical conditions. At present, mountain areas worldwide are undergoing intense forest cover change. Local-scale studies exist, but policy makers lack reliable and consistent information at the regional scale about long-term trends, controlling factors, and the success of existing policy measures. Long-term forest cover change data based on advanced…
