Mapping and assessing the multifunctional demand for agricultural land based on the “P-E-F” framework: A case study of Hangzhou City, China by Qian Yu, Shan He, Chenxia Hu, Shixue You, Lin Lin, Yue Su, Congmou Zhu, Chenhe Zhou

“…Finally, we comprehensively analyzed the demand variations among land use types and agricultural functions to explore more precise information. The key findings are that 1) despite high MAL demand was generally concentrated near the downtown, some remote rural areas were also characterized by significant demand for cultural function; 2) compared to that of ecological and cultural functions, the production demand was less scale-dependent with a more aggregated distribution pattern; 3) agricultural land with compounding demand was clustered in the plains adjacent to cities, and hotspots of MAL demand in remote mountains were less frequently observed; 4) demand level for paddy field was outstanding among other agricultural land use types. …”
