Summary
Natural resource supervision initially hinders construction land use efficiency but improves it under specific conditions. It significantly boosts efficiency in cities with a natural resource supervision agency, aiding economic development.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Economics
- Urban Planning
- Public Administration
Background:
- Construction land use efficiency is crucial for sustainable urban development.
- The impact of natural resource supervision on land use efficiency is complex and warrants detailed investigation.
- Existing research often overlooks the nuanced effects of regulatory bodies on land market dynamics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To empirically assess the realistic and potential effects of natural resource supervision on construction land use efficiency.
- To explore the mediating mechanisms through which natural resource supervision influences land use.
- To identify factors that moderate the relationship between natural resource supervision and land use efficiency.
Main Methods:
- Difference-in-Differences (DID) method to analyze the realistic effect.
- Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to evaluate the potential effect.
- Analysis based on data from 286 cities.
Main Results:
- Natural resource supervision initially reduces construction land use efficiency in cities with a natural resource supervision agency (NRSA), with the effect diminishing over time. It can indirectly promote illegal land management.
- Supervision enhances efficiency in cities with an NRSA when vertical financial asymmetry is high, but hinders it when fiscal decentralization, regional competition, or economic development levels are high.
- Cities without an NRSA show declining efficiency, while those with an NRSA experience significant improvements, enabling them to catch up.
Conclusions:
- Natural resource supervision has a complex, context-dependent impact on construction land use efficiency.
- Reforming supervision systems and land market regulations is essential for high-quality economic development.
- The findings offer valuable insights for perfecting local government incentive mechanisms.

Topographic surveying is critical for documenting the Earth's surface, focusing on capturing elevations, slopes, and natural and man-made features. It is essential in construction planning, water resource management, and land-use analysis. The primary outcome of such surveys is a topographic map, which uses contour lines to visually represent the shape and slope of the terrain, providing valuable insights into the landscape's characteristics.Contour lines are fundamental to understanding the...

Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

01:27Types of Surveys
170
Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...
