Coupling Coordination Development Between Cultivated Land and Agricultural Water Use Efficiency in Arid Regions: A Case Study of the Turpan–Hami Basin by Yue Kong, Abdugheni Abliz, Dongping Guo, Xianhe Liu, Jialin Li, Buasi Nurahmat

“…A coupling coordination degree model was constructed to evaluate their coordinated development level, with spatial autocorrelation and other methods used to examine spatiotemporal patterns. Key findings include: (1) The overall utilization efficiency of both resources was relatively low, with mean values of 0.516 and 0.596, showing a fluctuating upward trend and significant spatial heterogeneity; (2) The mean coupling coordination degree (CCD) ranked as follows: Barkol Kazakh Autonomous County (0.587) > Yiwu County (0.563) > Gaochang District (0.494) > Shanshan County (0.437) > Tuokexun County (0.417) > Yizhou District (0.342), with an annual growth rate of 4.6%; (3) Regional disparities were dominated by intra-regional differences (42.0%), followed by transvariation density (30.64%). …”

New commercial behaviour as a reason of social and economic changes of divided towns on the Polish-German and Polish-Czech borders by Katarzyna Kulczyńska, Roman Matykowski, Elżbieta Bilska-Wodecka

“…This process involves, among other things, a heavy outflow of inhabitants, primarily young and better educated, to western lands and a steep slump in the total fertility rate. Still, the most important changes observed in the split towns over the last two decades have been consumer behaviour patterns determined, among other things, by differences in prices in the neighbouring states. …”
