  • Examining the mismatch between regulatory flood boundaries and actual flood extent

    Open AccessR K Singh, Risha Singh et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Disaster…2026

    Flood maps are fundamental tools for flood risk assessment as well as communication and are instrumental in determining flood insurance rates in various communities across the United States. However, limitations of flood maps have been highlighted in previous literature and through some of the recent flood events, as significant flood inundation and damage were located beyond the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain boundaries. A…

  • Who owns the flood plain? A parcel-level analysis of organizational form and flood risk

    Open AccessJesse Andrews, Jenny B Mason et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2026

    Regulatory flood maps define the geography of hazard but obscure the organizational structure of exposure. This study examines how regulatory flood exposure is distributed across owner-of-record forms and local portfolio footprints using the complete 2022 inventory of single-family residential parcels in Douglas County, Nebraska (N = 183,313). We classify owners into five organizational forms (including Individuals, LLCs, and Corporations) and di…

  • Assessing Social Media Communications of Local Governments in Fast-Growing U.S. Cities

    Ruopu Li, Md Mafuzur Rahaman et al.ARTICLEThe Professional Geographer2021

    With social media ubiquitous in our daily communication, local governments have increasingly relied on this new media platform for communicating and interacting with their citizens. It is still unclear, however, how to assess the effectiveness of social media communication efforts by local governments. Based on the Lasswell communication framework, this study proposes a new indicator, the Social Media Communication Index (SMCI), that can be used …

  • Urban expansion or poor productivity

    Open AccessBingwen Qiu, Xin Yang et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2020

    Cropland abandonment has long been recognized as a marginalization process in rural regions but recently also as a precursor to urbanization in peri‐urban regions. This study aimed to evaluate the relative importance of urbanization and poor productivity in cropland abandonment. A thorough investigation was conducted on 345 cities/towns at the prefecture level or higher in China using 500‐m annual maps for 2003–2016. Cropland abandonment was spat…

  • The Role of Local Leaders in Environmental Concerns in Master Plans

    Open AccessLei Zhang, Rachel M Tochen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2017Cited by: 4References: 14

    Limited research has explored the reasons behind the level of environmental concerns in master plans in China, where serious environmental degradation has caught the world’s attention and the planning regime is significantly different from those based on representative democracy. Analyzing eighty master plans of China’s large municipalities, we find that the education and age of local leaders have a significant effect on environmental concerns in…

  • Moving from agenda to action

    Zhenghong Tang, Samuel D Brody et al.ARTICLEJournal of Environmental Planning…2010

    Climate change is conventionally recognised as a large-scale issue resolved through regional or national policy initiatives. However, little research has been done to directly evaluate local climate change action plans. This study examines 40 recently adopted local climate change action plans in the US and analyses how well they recognise the concepts of climate change and prepare for climate change mitigation and adaptation. The results indicate…
