From data inconsistency to reliable SDG 11.3.1 monitoring
This study assesses the reliability of land use efficiency (LUE) as a primary Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 11.3.1, the land consumption rate to population growth rate, using six built-up area datasets and four population datasets for 176 countries during 2000∼2020. Specifically, this study aims to answer (1) How consistent are global LUE estimates across different built-up and population datasets? and (2) Which data sources and me…
Research on the tourist market of Beijing 5A scenic spot based on social media data
Studying the tourist market structure is essential for understanding regional differences in travel preferences and mobility patterns. This study examines the spatiotemporal distribution and driving factors of domestic tourist flows to Beijing’s 5A scenic spots from 2019 to 2023, based on multi-source data including over one million records from Sina Weibo, Point of Interest (POI) datasets, and official statistical yearbooks. Grounded in time geo…
A hybrid framework for assessing outdoor thermal comfort in large-scale urban environments
Sky view factor shows the strongest correlation with outdoor thermal comfort. • During hot summers, 74.8% of urban areas in Hong Kong experienced strong to extreme heat stress. • Most individuals perceived slight cold stress to neutral during the coldest conditions of Hong Kong. • High levels of thermal stress were noted in urban layouts with low-rise buildings. • In both LCZs 3 and 6, over 90% of areas experienced strong to extreme thermal stres…
Global variations of urban form
A globally applicable modular urban form modeling framework is proposed to provide a refined and comprehensive perspective for characterizing urban form variation. • The Modular Urban Local Form (MULF) comprises 21 distinct categories—three natural types and eighteen artificial types—that are identified through systematic analysis. • The Modular Urban Form Prototype (MUFP) offers a valuable approach for understanding the variation of urban spatia…
Spatiotemporal analysis of underlying factors in urban transformations
Urban planning has widely become a key policy tool for managing urban growth. However, understanding the role of urban planning in shaping land development and directing urbanization is still contentious across various socioeconomic and geographical contexts. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of urban spatial transformation in Austin, Texas across three distinct periods: the pre-planning period (1992–2001), the Envision Central Texas (ECT)…
Asian heat stress variations in a changing climate
The changing climate has intensified the occurrence of extreme heat events, posing a huge challenge for sustainable development and necessitating the implementation of suitable measures to address these issues. Large scale disparities in heat stress over the selected geographic and climatic regions of Asia and the different urban-rural population exposure to heat stress under different climate change scenarios is not well understood. Here, using …
An ANN-based method for population Dasymetric mapping to avoid the scale heterogeneity
A comprehensive understanding of population distribution is critical for assessing socio-economic issues. However, the widely used dasymetric mapping method relies on models built at a coarse administrative scale and estimates population at a fine-gridded scale. This difference in scale between the training and estimating domains results in significant heterogeneity in data distribution. To address this issue, we proposed a scale heterogeneity-av…
Monitoring diurnal dynamics of surface urban heat island for urban agglomerations using ECOSTRESS land surface temperature observations
Extreme heat exposure at the regional scale is warranted for special attention due to the changing global climate yet notable regional disparities in the effect of warming. NASA's latest ECOSTRESS mission generates LST images with a swath width of about 400 km and a 70-m resolution for varying times of day/night and provides a new opportunity for regional SUHI studies. Here we demonstrated the capability of ECOSTRESS data for studying spatiotempo…
Shift in controlling factors of carbon stocks across biomes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (TP) accumulated a large amount of organic carbon, while its size and response to environmental factors for the whole area remain uncertain. Here, we synthesized a dataset to date with the largest data volume and broadest geographic coverage over the TP, composing of 7196 observations from multiple field campaigns since the 1980s, and provided a comprehensive assessment of the size and spatial distribution of carbon po…
Post-War Urban Damage Mapping Using InSAR
Urban infrastructures have become imperative to human life. Any damage to these infrastructures as a result of detrimental activities would accrue huge economical costs and severe casualties. War in particular is a major anthropogenic calamity with immense collateral effects on the social and economic fabric of human nations. Therefore, damaged buildings assessment plays a prominent role in post-war resettlement and reconstruction of urban infras…

Extracts of Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge on the cytokines of rat endometriosis models
Endometriosis is a common mysterious and fascinating gynaecological condition with diverse clinical manifestations, highly variable and unpredictable clinical course with decreased quality of life. Clinically, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SMB, Chinese Danshen) has been applied to treat endometriosis and get satisfactory results. The present study was aimed to explore the effects of the extracts of SMB (ESMB) on the serum levels of cancer antigen 12…

A survey of image classification methods and techniques for improving classification performance
Image classification is a complex process that may be affected by many factors. This paper examines current practices, problems, and prospects of image classification. The emphasis is placed on the summarization of major advanced classification approaches and the techniques used for improving classification accuracy. In addition, some important issues affecting classification performance are discussed. This literature review suggests that designi…
Estimation of land surface temperature–vegetation abundance relationship for urban heat island studies
An approach to evaluation of sustainability for Guangzhou's urban ecosystem
Guangzhou has ambitions to build itself into a world class metropolis by 2010. Sustainable development is the only way to achieve this magnificent goal. Based on the ecological perspective of sustainable development and the principles of ecosystem integrity, this paper develops an approach for evaluation of sustainable development in Guangzhou between 1986 and 1995. A hierarchical evaluation system of four tiers of sustainability indicators was e…

Guangzhou's Growth and Urban Planning, 1960–1997
This paper examines urban land development in Guangzhou in different periods of time between 1960 and 1997 using aerial photos and Landsat Thematic Mapper images. Results indicate that urban land development has been spatially and temporally uneven. Urban growth was sluggish and constrained in the period from the 1950s to 1970s. However, it has shown an accelerated rate after the 1980s, and eastward expansion replaced the traditional southern and…

Human-environment interactions in agricultural land use in a South China's wetland region
Local Impacts of the Post-Mao Development Strategy
The spatial impacts of the post-Mao development strategy are examined at the local level from various perspectives using the Zhujiang Delta, southern China as a case. The findings of this article suggest that the overall growth performance during the period from 1978 to 1992 has been extremely strong, in spite of fluctuating and uneven development between industrial and agricultural sectors. As a result of economic reform and the open door policy…
