The Impact

Undistorted factor markets are a perquisite for efficient allocation of resources and growth in production. In Oman by 2013, only 16% of households have reported agriculture as the main occupation and 53% have reported nonagricultural government employment as the main occupation. This situation is hypothesized to be related to the labor market; where government legislated higher remuneration in the nonagricultural government sector vis-a-vis agricultural sector, influences Omani farmers to move to nonagricultural employment, causing reduced cultivated area and farm production. The study uses operations research methods to quantify the impact of labor market policies on agricultural employment, farm gross income and land use intensity (proxy for farm production and food security). It is found that the shift of Omani labor from agriculture is influenced by higher wages in the nonagricultural sectors. The agricultural land use intensity is thereby decreased. The policy of allowing hiring of expatriate labor is beneficial in overcoming labor scarcity. However, in the long-run both farm productivity need to improve to be competitive with legislated income receivable from nonagricultural employment and ideally labor markets need to operate freely, to enhance food security and assure employment of Omani labor in agriculture.

The Impact

To further study the effects of public service facilities on the land use intensity at regulatory planning level and enhance the scientific determination of land use intensity, this paper expounds the influence mechanism and factors of the public service facilities on land use intensity in regulatory planning, and conducts quantitative evaluation of the influence factors through theoretical analysis, mathematical analysis and analytic hierarchy process etc. The results show that the influence mechanism of public service facilities on the land use intensity goes throughout all three levels of regulatory planning. Different characteristics of public service facilities on each level determine their different influence factors and take effect on the land use intensity index of the corresponding level, thus affecting the determination of the block floor area ratio. Based on this, this paper proposes a method to determine the land use intensity in regulatory planning under the restriction of public service facilities and completes the test in practice, which may provide a reference for determining the land use intensity in regulatory planning.

Abstract This study investigates the relationships between urban morphology and summertime urban heat island in Hong Kong. A total of 33 urban design parameters describing complex high-rise high-density urban morphology are proposed and categorized into three groups, i.e., land-use intensity, built form, and space enclosure. A process combining the python script and the geoprocessing function is proposed to quickly calculate the morphological parameters for 10 sites and 160 points. Microclimate data were collected using onsite measurement equipment. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis are conducted to quantify the impact of each parameter on urban heat island (UHI) intensities at 3 pm (UHI_3pm) and 9 pm (UHI_9pm). 16 parameters are found to be statistically correlated with UHI_3pm and 9 parameters with UHI_9pm. Results show land-use intensity parameters have the highest correlation with UHI, followed by built form parameters and then space enclosure parameters. Furthermore, it is found that site-level parameters can better explain UHI variation compared to point-level parameters. This research paves the path for quickly extracting urban morphological parameters and enhances the understanding of the impact of complex high-rise high-density urban environment on summertime UHI. The results can inform policy makers with the guidelines to create more comfortable urban environment.

The Impact

The aim of this article is to analyse the variability of the intensity of the land use in agricultural enterprises farming in different natural conditions in the years 2001–2006. The main reason for this analysis is the diminishing intensity of agricultural production in the Czech Republic in the nineties as well as in the past decade. This article is a part of the research with special focus on the sings of the extensive and intensive systems of agriculture in the developmental differentiation of agricultural enterprises.As the data source for the analysis made in this article has been used the group of companies NUTS II Southeast in the period 2001–2006, i.e. in the time before and after our joining the EU. The group of companies includes legal entities with agricultural area under cultivation over 1 000 ha and average agricultural area 1 680 ha.The results show that the decrease in the agriculture intensity in the years 2001–2006 reached 179 Czech crowns per hectare and the average Earnings from Produce per hectare is 26 792 Czech crowns per hectare.Beside the variability of the intensity of the agricultural land use, there was also focused how the different natural conditions influence the land use intensity in the enterprises.The results in this article show that there is significant and deepening inter-enterprise differentiation of the level of intensity of farming, but it is also necessary to say, that the impact of various agro-ecological conditions on the development of intensity of farming is not dominant.
