Transition characteristics and driving mechanisms of different types of rural settlements in plain agricultural areas by QU Yanbo, HE Xinhan, DONG Xiaozhen, LIU Chunqiang, YANG Yong, LI Yuanchao

“…[Objective] Exploring the transformation characteristics of rural settlements can enrich the research system of land use transformation and is of great significance for promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas and the reconstruction of rural space. [Methods] Based on the differential manifestations of rural at the regional and village scales, This paper systematically analyzed the morphological characteristics, transformation process, and driving mechanisms of rural settlements from both the “point” and “plane” perspectives, furthermore, a comparative study was conducted on four typical villages in Fangsi Town, Yucheng City, the plain agricultural area in Shandong Province: urban-rural integrated, agglomeration-enhanced, characteristic development, and preservation-improvement types. …”

A Fourfold Bi-Filter and Permuted Bi-Quad-Wrapper Feature Selection Method for Finding Optimal Moments of Multi-Trajectory Transient Records in Transient Analysis by Seyed Alireza Bashiri Mosavi, Omid Khalaf Beigi

“…Fast and accurate transient analysis (TA) requires a meticulously explored nonlinear transient excursion space (NTES). Hence, designing a polyhedral feature selection scheme (FSS) to fix the TA bottleneck raised by feeding non-discriminative transient records into predictive models is a significant task to avoid discordant TA indices results. …”

The mechanism of urban-rural integrated development based on the “population-land-capital” factor flow: A case study of Jiangxi Province by YANG Jie, GE Dazhuan, SUN Pan, YUAN Ziyi

“…[Results] (1) The overall urban-rural integrated development level in Jiangxi Province exhibited an upward trend from 2000 to 2020, transitioning from relying on urban-rural ecological space development to achieving balance in economy, society, and ecology. (2) The urban-rural integrated development level in Jiangxi Province displayed significant geographical differences, with the economic integration level in northern Jiangxi surpassing central Jiangxi and southern Jiangxi; the social integration level in northern Jiangxi exceeding southern Jiangxi and central Jiangxi; and the ecological integration level in southern Jiangxi surpassing central Jiangxi and northern Jiangxi. (3) The flow of population factor, land factor, and capital factor all exhibited significant positive effects on urban-rural integrated development in Jiangxi Province, with population factor flow having the greatest driving effect. (4) Urban-rural factor flow can continuously optimize the urban-rural relationship, generating diffusion effects and spatial spillover effects, fostering the ongoing reconstruction and integration of urban and rural spaces in Jiangxi Province. …”
