A new paper in the Journal of Land Use Science looks at research avenues that will promote a more socio-ecological systems perspective to the study of driving forces of landscape change.
One Earth – a new journal from Cell Press – publishes high-impact research that seeks to understand and address today’s environmental grand challenges. The inaugural issue focuses partly on land, and features pieces by many members of the GLP community. Check out Voices, Commentaries, Reflection, and Perspectives sections for more.
GLP Member Anna Hersperger and colleagues have published an article in Global Environmental Change with a research agenda formulated to establish a truly theory-based approach to describe and model the role of spatial planning in urban land-use change.
Findings published in Sustainability by GLP Member Anna Hersperger and colleagues indicate that the distance between objectives and outcomes can be attributed to differences in countries’ spatial planning approaches, which should also be placed into the wider economic, institutional and legislative context. The study provides valuable insights for the integration of time series of spatial data into the evaluation procedure.
