Evolution Process and Land Use/Land Cover Response of Urban–Rural Space in Wuhan under Polycentric Structure

open access: yesLand
Polycentric development facilitates urban–rural spatial reshaping and land use/land cover (LULC) protection. Previous studies have predominantly focused on urban areas, with spatial delineation methods biased towards the macro-level, lacking a holistic ...

Unveiling spatial heterogeneity in urban underground space development patterns and mechanisms for differentiated planning: A points of interest‐based study of Shanghai

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigated the spatial patterns and development mechanisms of urban underground space (UUS) in Shanghai using underground points of interest data. It revealed distinct development mechanisms between the main city and suburbs, highlighting the need for differentiated UUS planning and policies to optimize underground space resources ...

Successful Implementation of Environmental Policy and Governance: Understanding and Modeling Micro Governance

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Successful implementation of environmental policy and governance highly depends on the capacity to know about, build new and utilize existing governance structures. However, the theoretical tools and available methods to assess the complexity of emerging or existing structures are rather limited.

Water Management on the Island of IJsselmonde 1000 to 1953: Polycentric Governance, Adaptation, and Petrification

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2012
One of the central tenets of adaptive management is polycentric governance. Yet, despite the popularity of the concept, few detailed case studies of polycentric governance systems exist. In this paper, we aim to partly fill this gap.

Evaluation of Polycentric Spatial Structure in the Urban Agglomeration of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) Based on Multi-Source Big Data Fusion

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
The rapid development of the urban city has led to great changes in the urban spatial structure. Thus, analyses of polycentric urban spatial structures are important for understanding these kinds of structures.

Institutionalizing Advisory Bodies in Climate Governance: Between Transparency, Accountability and Efficiency

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The implementation of effective climate governance increasingly relies on advisory bodies that monitor the effectiveness of policies and management mechanisms. Despite their strategic importance to institutionalizing climate governance, limited attention has been paid to the roles, trajectories, and effectiveness of these advisory bodies ...
