Capturing the processes of rural transformation
Evaluating the Coupling Adaptability of the Food System in China From an Integrated Food Security Perspective
Against the backdrop of intensifying global challenges—including climate shocks, dietary globalization, and escalating food insecurity affecting hundreds of millions—the sustainable transformation of food system has become a paramount concern for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This imperative demands integrated approaches that move beyond siloed analyses to holistically address the complex interactions within f…

Infrastructuring planetary rural geographies
This commentary responds to Wang et al.'s (2025) call for planetary rural geographies by attending to the neglected infrastructural dimensions. In so doing, we show how China's rural construction movement demonstrates Wang et al.'s (2025) three geographies of planetary rurality: as spaces of crisis, conflict, and hope. Simultaneously, we address how planetary rural thinking can foreground infrastructural geographies and their destabilization of u…

Collective action improves elite-driven governance in rural development within China
Rural areas are at the forefront of achieving sustainable development goals, and elite actors tend to be the most influential local decision-makers in rural development. Nevertheless, improving the effectiveness of governance by elites and avoiding or redressing “elite capture” remain key challenges for sustainable rural development globally. This research integrates a large-scale quantitative dataset consisting of 604 villages in seven counties …
Sustainable use of gully agricultural land and water resources for sustainable development goals
In the context of global advocacy for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), agriculture and rural areas as the main carrying place of human production activities, is not only the focus area of SDGs, but also the focus point for the implementation of SDGs. Gully agricultural land and water resources (GALWR) sustainable use in China's Loess Plateau is vital to the evolution law of human–earth relationships and agricultural multi‐functional transfor…

Investigating multi-way impacts of transportation on human footprint
Changing collaborative networks and transitions in rural sustainable development
Promoting rural sustainable development requires improving rural systems’ self-organization to reduce dependence on external resources, which is inherently difficult in peasant economies due to low rural household income. Bottom-up collective action can help address these issues. However, few studies have examined how networks of elite and non-elite actors influence collective action and system transitions toward sustainability. This study scruti…

Urban–rural transformation in relation to cultivated land conversion in China
The paper aims to investigate land conversion as a result of urban-rural transformation in the Chinese context. Theoretical analysis and empirical study of the Bohai Rim region find strong connections between the land conversion rates and urban-rural transformation intensity in the period 2000-2010. Rapid land conversion normally takes place in counties/districts of low initial level of urban-rural transformation. However, places of high initial …

Impacts of land consolidation on rural human–environment system in typical watershed of the Loess Plateau and implications for rural development policy
Gully land consolidation (GLC) could contribute to the optimization of land use structure and landscape pattern. • GLC could also help to guarantee the ecological security of watershed. • Limited development capacity and collective action could restrict local community’s social-economic response to GLC. • Land consolidation should be seen and evaluated in a broader rural development context. • The theory of human-environment system provides new p…

Beyond government-led or community-based
Discussions of China's hollowed village reconstruction (HVR) program tend to divide initiatives into community-based model (CBM, led by local actors which is also called bottom-up model) and government-led model (GLM, driven by policy makers which is also called top-down model). In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework, which goes beyond these two models. Then, we take three typical villages which experienced different models of HVR in r…

Rural transition in the loess hilly and gully region
The loess hilly and gully region of China supports a fragile ecosystem that has been subject to serious water loss and soil erosion in recent decades. In response, ongoing soil and water conservation and ecological restoration efforts have been conducted. A review of the region's development history indicates that the utilization mode of cropland in rural areas played an important role in the course of soil and water conservation and socioeconomi…

The Haze Nightmare Following the Economic Boom in China
This study aims to expand on a deeper understanding of the relationship between rapid economic development and ensuing air pollution in China. The database includes the gross domestic product (GDP), the value added of a secondary industry, the per capita GDP (PGDP), greenhouse gases emissions, and PM2.5 concentrations. The results indicate that China's PGDP has continued to rise over the past decade, and the rate of PGDP slowed down from 1980 to …
The spatio‐temporal change of China's net floating population at county scale from 2000 to 2010
China's total floating population exceeded 245 million at the end of 2013 and is the largest mobile population in the world. This paper explores the spatial distribution pattern and change characteristics of the net floating population at county scale from 2000 to 2010 using census data. The results show the following: (1) the net floating population increased by 120 million over 10 years, and the mobility of the population had enhanced in this p…

Theoretical and practical research into excavation slope protection for agricultural geographical engineering in the Loess Plateau
The Loess Plateau is one of the most vulnerable areas in the world as it is extremely susceptible to soil erosion and ecological destruction. Recently, the local government carried out the “Gully Land Consolidation Project” (GLCP) in the Loess Plateau region to increase farmland area, improve rural production and living conditions. Among all the GLCP engineering constructions, slope protection engineering plays an important role in ensuring the s…

Who Benefits From Development? Analyzing the Stakeholder Contestations in a Traditional Settlement of Malaysia
Urban–rural renewal is an instrument not only to manage urbanization but also for sustainable development. In this process, major stakeholders are affected differentially. The case studied here shows how the most vulnerable stakeholders are deprived of benefits in the urban–rural renewal process. Through an analysis of Mantin, a small Malaysian town, the study depicts conflicts among stakeholders. Beyond the traditional stakeholder analysis frame…
