Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a call for papers for the Special Issue on “Optimization of Land Space for High-Quality and Sustainable Development”, focusing on high-quality in the Yellow River Basin.
The high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin is essential to China's socioeconomic development and ecological security, requiring balance between national land space and ecological restoration. This is the central theme of this Special Issue, associated with one session of the 2024 Annual Conference on Development Geography (https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hWIpMToMtNDuhehcsYni2w), held on 26–29 September at Nanjing University, in Nanjing, China.
We are particularly interested in articles on the topics below, with a particular emphasis on China as the primary region of study, including regions beyond the Yellow River Basin. We also wish extend a warm invitation to international scholars conducting comprehensive research and exploration of pertinent or analogous subjects within a global framework. The topics of interest are the following:
- Efficient land use planning;
- Ecological vulnerability and resilience;
- Smart land use planning and sustainable development;
- Wetland ecosystem services;
- New theories of land use modeling and simulation;
- Water–energy–food–environmental system coupling;
- Green transformation of industries;
- Green urban land utilization efficiency;
- Landslide sensitivity.
This Special Issue will be also open to submissions from authors who did not present at the conference. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
