Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Special Issue on “Urban Land Use Planning and Evaluation of Environmental Carrying Capacity”, is being organized.
Environmental carrying capacity (ECC) is considered as a significant yardstick for guiding the progress towards sustainable regional and urban development, and it helps measure the interaction between human activities and environmental systems. Urban land-use planning plays a significant role in ECC through shaping human–land relationships, and exerts positive or negative impacts on ECC. Planners have long been searching for various methods and strategies to improve ECC by providing guidance for government intervention, human behavior, and market investment through land-use planning and management. Understanding the impacts of land-use planning on ECC is beneficial for contributing new theoretical and methodological insights into addressing environmental issues while we are facing a more and more complex regional and urban system. Meanwhile, policy tools of improving ECC can be designed for sustainable regional and urban development.
This Special Issue is open to the subject area of land-use planning and environment performance. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
