The main aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze the dynamics of land use
and land cover (LULC) changes in the Bathinda region of Punjab, India, encompassing historical,
current, and future trends. To forecast future LULC, the Cellular Automaton–Markov Chain (CA)
based on artificial neural network (ANN) concepts was used using...

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
has presented unprecedented challenges to global health and economic stability. Intriguingly, the
necessary lockdown measures, while disruptive to human society, inadvertently led to environmental
rejuvenation, particularly noticeable in decreased air pollution...
The NH 58 area in India has been experiencing an increase in landslide occurrences, posing
significant threats to local communities, infrastructure, and the environment. The growing need to
identify areas prone to landslides for effective disaster risk management, land use planning, and
infrastructure development has led to the increased...
Home food production and sharing (home consumption) make up a local community-based food system that has become a custom closely tied to people’s daily life and culture across Japan. In this study, nationwide questionnaire surveys were conducted in 2015 and 2021 to investigate the status and trends of non-commercial home food consumption in Japan...
Stubble burning in Punjab, India, poses significant environmental challenges, particularly impacting air quality. This study aims to examine the spatial and temporal patterns of stubble burning events and their potential effect on ambient air quality from 2019 to 2022. High-resolution Sentinel-2 satellite imagery was employed to delineate the...
The production of commodity crops such as oil palm, sugarcane, cotton or cocoa has important ramifications for sustainability at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Food security is among the most heavily debated impacts of commodity crop production, especially in developing regions characterized by high rates of malnutrition and food insecurity...
Assessing heat-related health risks is important for sustainable urban development. Although fine-scale information (e.g., at the community/neighborhood or city block level) is ideal for identifying and mitigating these risks, previous studies have preferred to work at the administrative unit level. High-resolution Local Climate Zone (LCZ) maps, i...
Even though the mosaic of different land-use/land-cover types has long contributed to the resilience of socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes in Ethiopia, recent data indicate that their sustainability is under threat. This study aims to evaluate landscape resilience by adopting a set of indicators for enhancing sustainability in the...
Food systems are responsible for pushing human resource use past three thresholds of safe planetary operating space, yet the potential of agroecosystems to contribute to sustainability of food systems when managed for multiple benefits is underexplored. This gap has led to a call for food systems transformation. Previous reviews have acknowledged...
Commons were traditionally associated with rural societies, but socioeconomic changes have triggered new forms of commons linked with urban areas. Despite an emerging literature on these new commons and their connection to landscape management, more knowledge is needed. This study focuses on various forms of commons and their contribution to...
