Features: This book is Volume 5 of the "General Outline of China's Sustainable Development." It comprehensively elaborates on the history, current status, and existing problems of land resource utilization in China from two levels: general theory and regional analysis. From the perspective of efficient and sustainable land resource utilization and its coordinated role with other resources in supporting economic and social sustainable development, the book explores the relationship between land resource utilization and sustainable development, proposing several strategic countermeasures for the sustainable utilization of land resources. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is the General Theory of China's Land Resources and Sustainable Development, including nine chapters on the introduction to China's land resources and sustainable development, as well as the utilization and sustainable development of eight first-level categories of land resources such as cultivated land, garden land, forest land, grassland, wetlands (water areas), transportation land, residential and industrial land, and unused land. The second part is the Regional Analysis, including thirteen chapters on the national land use zoning and the sustainable development of land use in twelve regions.
This book can serve as a reference for decision-makers, planners, and managers at all levels, as well as researchers from various international organizations, research institutions, enterprises, and university students and faculty engaged in theoretical research and practice of sustainable development. At the same time, as one of the major literature collections of the "General Outline of China's Sustainable Development," it will be an ideal choice for book collections both domestically and internationally.
