Groundwater Function Zoning for Groundwater Management Based on RSF, EEF, and GEF in the Plain of the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration, China

open access: yesWater, 2023
Groundwater function zoning is an important means to ensure that groundwater plays its various functions, which can provide a scientific basis for the protection and development of groundwater resources. Water resources are scarce in the Central Plains Urban Agglomeration (CPUA), so it is of great significance to evaluate groundwater vulnerability and ...

Green urbanization efficiency of 18 urban agglomerations in China: Evidence from spatial–temporal evolution

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
As a highly developed spatial form of integrated cities, urban agglomeration has become an important fulcrum for promoting economic development and regional growth. Green urban efficiency is the key to achieving green growth in a country.

Labor-Force Heterogeneity as a Source of Agglomeration Economies in an Empirical Analysis of County-Level Determinants of Food Plant Entry [PDF]

open access: yes
Results of this study show that a heterogeneous labor force serves to attract new food manufacturing investment. We conduct analysis for SIC 20, Food and Kindred Product Manufacturing, and disaggregate analysis on all nine three-digit SIC food industries.

Spatiotemporal evolution and the driving factors of PM2.5 in Chinese urban agglomerations between 2000 and 2017

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) threatens public health severely, which, luckily, can be governed by referring to its spatiotemporal distribution and key driving factors. However, very few explored it in the long-term, broadly, and systematically.

Matching and learning in cities: urban density and the rate of invention [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper examines the role local labor markets play in the production of innovations. The authors appeal to a labor market matching model (á la Berliant, Reed, and Wang 2004) to argue that in dense urban areas, workers are more selective in their ...

Sponge roads: the permeable asphalt pavement structures based on rainfall characteristics in central plains urban agglomeration of China

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2019
Abstract Permeable asphalt pavement should be selected according to the rainfall characteristics of the project site, so as to improve the permeable performance and ensure the bearing capacity of the pavement structure. Therefore, taking a city in the central plains urban agglomeration of China as an example, the characteristics of the ...

Spatial correlations and risk transmission of virtual water flow at city scale: A case study of the Yellow River Basin

open access: yesGeography and Sustainability
By introducing virtual water (VW) flow correlation coefficients and risk indicators, this study examines the VW transmission relationship between urban agglomerations and cities in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) and its impact on regional water resources ...
