Excerpt

Rural areas, along with urban ones, represent a major zone of land human use, as well as playing an important role for wildlife’s habitats. However, rural land uses are threatened by the rapid development of landscapes by people, particularly the development of private land (Theobald et al. 2000; Travis et al. 2002). There are several main topics that we, as researchers, must focus on to face these problems. The first is the policies that exist for rural resource management and land use in rural areas. These policies proposed by central and local governments will significantly impact the future development of the rural ecosystem; species’ habitats should be managed and protected by land-use policies. The second concern is sustainable economic development. In rural areas, sustainable development relies on sustainable economic activities. With that in mind, different stakeholders’ concerns have to be taken seriously in landscape management and planning procedures. The third, adopting theories for conceptual framework of studies and developing new technologies—such as cutting-edge monitoring systems, artificial intelligence, and big data—presents an opportunity to improve the rural environment. …
