Enhancing Ecosystem Service Value Through Land Use Optimization
Integrating ecosystem service value (ESV) into land use optimization is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals. Unlike traditional “post-evaluation” approaches that assess ESV after generating land use plans, this study pioneers a “goal-oriented” method by embedding ESV as an objective to guide land use optimization. A multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) framework, which incorporates ESV with land quantity error, spatia…
Attitudes toward outgroups in online intergroup contact during the initial phase
Despite empirical findings of the positive effect of online contact on outgroup attitudes, these studies mostly relied on Western samples and experimental designs. The current study used the “TikTok refugee” phenomenon on Xiaohongshu (RED), a widely used social media platform in China, to examine whether and how online intergroup contact shapes outgroup attitude in a naturalistic setting. We conducted sentiment analysis on the comments (n = 8268)…
The impact of rural settlement expansion on educational accessibility
Rural educational accessibility is crucial for achieving equitable education, reducing urban-rural disparities, and fostering inclusive and sustainable human settlements, which are key sustainable development goals (SDGs). Besides increasing educational facilities, the migration of rural settlements also influences educational accessibility. This study adopts a patch-scale perspective to measure the expansion patterns of rural settlements in 2867…

The Interpersonal Trust Characteristics of 4–6‐Year‐Old Children in the Trust Game
Interpersonal trust, a key factor in early social development, reflects children's expectations of others' reliability in social exchanges. However, existing research has not sufficiently characterized its dynamic mechanisms in preschoolers. Through three consecutive trust games ( N = 128, 128, and 142 children aged 4–6 years), this study systematically examined factors influencing trust in young children, including mechanisms of trust establishm…
Learning geographical information systems through first principles of instruction – effects on student experiences and geocapabilities
Relationships between parental involvement in homework and learning outcomes among elementary school students
BACKGROUND: Parents are often involved in their child's homework with the goal of improving their child's academic achievement. However, mixed findings were observed for the role of parental involvement in homework in shaping students' learning outcomes. AIMS: The present study examined whether and how the effect of parental involvement in homework on students' performance in science and math varies across sociocultural contexts by considering th…
Entertainment Education and Citizens’ Participation in Covid-19 Pandemic Response
(1) Background: Chinese citizens using entertainment education (EE) strategies on social media have played a pivotal role in responding to the COVID-19 crisis, especially when facing insufficient government support. Thus, this research aims to study the adoption of EE strategies on social media by Chinese citizens and its affordance for crisis responses. (2) Methods: We implemented a qualitative case study by analyzing the vlog series Wuhan Diary…
Towards a Core Set of Landscape Metrics of Urban Land Use in Wuhan, China
In this study, we investigate the urban landscape patterns in Wuhan, China based on the land use data in the vector format. Using the approach of landscape metric analysis, we calculate forty-four vector-based landscape metrics and then reduce redundant ones through a combination of Spearman correlation analysis and factor analysis, in order to extract a core set of characterizing landscape metrics. We find that the urban landscape can be depicte…
Understanding higher education students' developing perceptions of geocapabilities through the creation of story maps with geographical information systems
The technical skills of using geographical information systems (GIS) are often taught in different higher education disciplines apart from geocapabilities or geographic disciplinary expertise. Theorised to include capabilities such as spatial thinking, geographical imagination and structured ways to explore places, the concept of geocapabilities has been developed from educator perspectives but student perspectives have yet to be empirically exam…
Examining the Relationship between Death Anxiety and Well-Being of Frontline Medical Staff during the Covid-19 Pandemic
To examine the well-being of medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a survey of 705 medical staff who were involved in anti-epidemic work in China from 20 February to 16 March 2020. The findings of the present study showed a "psychological typhoon eye" effect in which the medical staff in areas with a high contagion rate showed a significantly lower level of death anxiety than those in low-contagion regions. We also found a sign…
An Improved Accessibility-Based Model to Evaluate Educational Equity
Limited studies focus on educational equity from the spatial accessibility perspective. This study combines survey data and big data and proposes a multi-mode Huff two-step floating catchment area (MMH2SFCA) method to calculate accessibility while considering multiple travel modes and school attractiveness. This method can also calculate education quality by extending the accessibility in each community. Results show that our proposed method can …

An environmental justice study on spatial access to parks for youth by using an improved 2SFCA method in Wuhan, China
Designing Matlab course for undergraduates in cartography and geographic information science
Participation of undergraduate students in research helps them nurture critical thinking, develop research skills, enhance self-confidence, and clarify their education or career paths. The curriculum is central to integrating teaching and research, and is a primary source for providing undergraduate research experience. This study designed a MATLAB course for undergraduate students in Cartography and Geographic Information Science. This course in…
Influence of emotional valence on perceived psychological distance depends on emotional intensity
Previous findings regarding the relationship between emotional valence and psychological distance were mixed. The current research examined whether emotional intensity moderates the influence of emotional valence on psychological distance. We manipulated intensity and valence by asking participants to describe a positive or negative event from either a high intensity or low intensity perspective. Studies 1 and 2 revealed that negative events were…
