Open AccessWerenfrid Michael Tarimo, Malumbo Chipofya et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2026
Pastoral and non-pastoral land use coexistence across time and space has implications for the capacity of communities to sustain themselves. This study employed a mixed-methods approach to characterise the trends of land tenure and land use land cover (LULC) in relation to land use coexistence between pastoralists and non-pastoralists. The study was conducted in the Mvomero district of Tanzania, among the districts with high land use conflicts be…
Impact of Construction Land Transition on Staple Crop Diversity in China
Open AccessXiaowei Yao, Xiaozhou Yao et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2026
Construction land transition (CLT) under rapid urbanization persistently alters regional land‐use patterns, significantly affecting cropland allocation and agricultural production structures. As a critical indicator of safeguarding food security, staple crop diversity (SCD) is both essential for preserving biodiversity and for balancing its relationship with sustainable urbanization, yet its impact by CLT has been overlooked. To address this gap,…

Competing frames and policy change: Greece's land administration reform from the mid-1990s to the economic crisis (2009–2018)
Open AccessEvangelia Balla, J A Zevenbergen et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2025References: 32
Land administration is a multidisciplinary process that records and manages spatial and legal data about land to improve tenure security. However, current land administration literature lacks in-depth analysis of how diverse actors frame policy problems and solutions during state-led land administration reforms, particularly under financial duress and external pressure due to policy conditionality. This study addresses that gap by examining the H…

Auditing Flood Vulnerability Geo-Intelligence Workflow for Biases
Open AccessBrian Masinde, Caroline M Gevaert et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2024
Geodata, geographical information science (GISc), and GeoAI (geo-intelligence workflows) play an increasingly important role in predictive disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), aiding decision-makers in determining where and when to allocate resources. There have been discussions on the ethical pitfalls of these predictive systems in the context of DRRM because of the documented cases of biases in AI systems in other socio-technical syst…
Impact assessment of the governance principles in the implementation of dam-induced involuntary resettlement on host communities: The case of the Bui Dam in Ghana
Open AccessEmmanuel Junior Adugbila, D Todorovski et al.ARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2024
Any form of resettlement of people requires applying some governance processes to guide its implementation processes. Resettlement and governance – are entangled because acceptability and ownership of a resettlement programme by community members are associated with the manner of application of good governance principles. Several studies have focused on the impact of resettlements on affected people and communities, however, little is known about…

Implementing data exchange and interoperability on Ladm country profiles using the ISO framework for enterprise interoperability standard
Open AccessPeter Oukes, Clifford Okembo et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2024References: 22
For a complete, harmonized and modernized land administration processes, seamless data exchange among departments within an organization, and among organizations is a fundamental requirement. Interoperability is therefore crucial and should be based on a well-developed Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) country profile for the implementation of a Land Administration System (LAS). This paper, through a research synthesis type of literature re…
Urban land management under rapid urbanization: Exploring the link between urban land policies and urban land use efficiency in Ethiopia
Open AccessNesru H Koroso, J A ZevenbergenARTICLECities2024Cited by: 9References: 78
Ethiopia's rapid urbanization over the past two decades has led to the conversion of agricultural land to urban use. However, this expansion has been largely unplanned, resulting in numerous urban land management challenges. These gaps have hindered efficient urban land use, a critical component of sustainable urban development. This study examines the impact of current institutional environment on urban land use efficiency (ULUE) in Ethiopia and…
Group-Privacy Threats for Geodata in the Humanitarian Context
Open AccessBrian Masinde, Caroline M Gevaert et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2023
The role of geodata technologies in humanitarian action is arguably indispensable in determining when, where, and who needs aid before, during, and after a disaster. However, despite the advantages of using geodata technologies in humanitarianism (i.e., fast and efficient aid distribution), several ethical challenges arise, including privacy. The focus has been on individual privacy; however, in this article, we focus on group privacy, a debate t…
Toward 3D Property Valuation—A Review of Urban 3D Modelling Methods for Digital Twin Creation
Open AccessYue Ying, Mila Koeva et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2022
Increasing urbanisation has inevitably led to the continuous construction of buildings. Urban expansion and densification processes reshape cities and, in particular, the third dimension (3D), thus calling for a technical shift from 2D to 3D for property valuation. However, most property valuation studies employ 2D geoinformation in hedonic price models, while the benefits of 3D modelling potentially brought for property valuation and the general…
The unintended consequences of Egypt's institutional land regime on unplanned settlement growth in the Nile Valley
Open AccessMahmood Abdelkader, Richard Sliuzas et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2022Cited by: 2References: 23
Egypt has been facing substantial unplanned human settlement growth on agricultural land since the 1950s. Although plans to better manage future settlement growth are ongoing, a full understanding of unplanned settlement growth on agricultural land remains lacking. This study investigated why and how unplanned human settlement growth occurs in Assiut Governorate, the Nile Valley. A mixed-method approach combining the institutional resource regime…

Urbanization and urban land use efficiency: Evidence from regional and Addis Ababa satellite cities, Ethiopia
Open AccessNesru H Koroso, Monica Lengoiboni et al.ARTICLEHabitat International2021Cited by: 9References: 54
Ethiopia has experienced rapid urbanization over the past three decades. Several cities expanded rapidly and many satellite towns sprung up around the major cities. The high rate of urbanization and urban growth resulted in high demand for urban land, mainly for industrial, commercial, and residential purposes. In order to meet the demand, an enormous amount of land has been made available for urban use, mainly through land conversion. However, w…
Urban land use efficiency in Ethiopia: An assessment of urban land use sustainability in Addis Ababa
Open AccessNesru H Koroso, J A Zevenbergen et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2020Cited by: 15References: 39
In Ethiopia, since 1993, urban land lease policy has been in place to facilitate land transfer for residential, commercial and industrial purposes. As a result, many cities, including Addis Ababa, have witnessed enormous boundary expansion mainly through farmland conversion. Over the past two decades, though Addis Ababa experienced rapid spatial boundary expansion, very little is known about urban land use efficiency (ULUE) of the city. This pape…
