Abstract:
... Research on construction land use efficiency with carbon emissions provides valuable insights for effective regulation of land use planning and low-carbon development. This study explores construction land use efficiency (CLUE) in China and the USA by employing a slack-based measure (SBM) that incorporates carbon emissions as undesirable output to evaluate CLUE at the provincial/state level. The a ...

Abstract:
... A fundamental challenge of land use management is to sustain the production of food, energy and fiber whilst preserving biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Some promising solutions to current resource-use conflicts are rooted in (agro) ecological intensification, which proposes that ecosystem functions provided by natural habitat can largely replace agrochemical inputs. Here, we evaluate how nat ...

Abstract:
... In public management, it is common to face conflicting objectives, particularly in relation to land use. Adequate land use management requires a valuation of land that incorporates the value of all its characteristics. That is, in addition to the traditional direct use value, it must incorporate the non-use value (existence and legacy), as well as the indirect use and option values. The analytic h ...
