Debate about whether national forests should produce timber and rural economic opportunities, or pursue other objectives such as ecological restoration and recreation, generally ignore...
متن کاملOpen Space Policies and Urban Spatial Structure
There is widespread public support for open space provision and for efforts by government to limit sprawl. We demonstrate that open space policies should not be viewed as independent of—or necessarily compatible with—growth management goals. We examine the impacts of open space designation on the urban landscape in a spatial city model with two important and empirically-relevant features: (1) r...
متن کاملIsolation Trends of Urban Open Spaces
Urban open spaces are invaluable assets in maintaining ecological health in a highly developed urban matrix. Unfortunately, habitat values and ecological quality of these areas are often challenged by consecutive urbanization. The assessment of changing structure and function of an urban open space system is crucial in maintaining livable cities. General characteristics and types of open spaces...
متن کاملOpen space, residential property values, and spatial context
We use hedonic analysis of home transaction data from the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area to estimate the effects of proximity to open space on sales price. We allow the effects of proximity to vary with demographic and location-specific characteristics and include fixed effects to control for observed and unobserved neighborhood characteristics. We find that the value of proximity to op...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal trends of urban heat island effect along the urban development intensity gradient in China.
Urban heat island (UHI) represents a major anthropogenic modification to the Earth system and its relationship with urban development is poorly understood at a regional scale. Using Aqua MODIS data and Landsat TM/ETM+ images, we examined the spatiotemporal trends of the UHI effect (ΔT, relative to the rural reference) along the urban development intensity (UDI) gradient in 32 major Chinese citi...
