Systems approaches to human settlements [PDF]

Papers of the Regional Science Association, 1977
Regional and urban policies always have consequences for the whole of the national territory, whether or not they were intended to do so. Thus policy makers should have a reasonably good grasp of the structure of human settlement systems and of the nature of the processes that underlie evolving settlement patterns.

Driving Force–Pressure–State–Impact–Response-Based Evaluation of Rural Human Settlements’ Resilience and Their Influencing Factors: Evidence from Guangdong, China

Sustainability
During urbanization, rural human settlements experience dual pressures from both ecology and culture. Strengthening resilience can enhance the system’s ability to withstand external pressures and restore equilibrium, providing a new research perspective ...

Influence of human settlements factors on the spatial distribution patterns of traditional villages in Liaoning province

Humanities and Social Sciences Communications
Traditional villages embody China’s long-standing farming culture and are the carriers for the inheritance and development of traditional culture in rural China. However, because of the continuous erosion of rural space due to China’s rapid urbanization,

Ancestral sea gardens supported human settlements for at least 3,800 years on the Northwest Coast of North America

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The relationships between clam gardens and human settlement throughout the millennia reflects the inseparable links among human demographics, marine management systems, and the social-ecological contexts in which they are embedded.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

A framework for the management of human settlements: Nigeria and South Africa as cases

Town and Regional Planning, 2021
Since 1965, the United Nations has underscored the vital role of human settlements management in creating a sustainable living environment, stating that the building of houses alone does not bring the desired change, as it does not significantly improve ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
