Impacts of Land Use Pattern in Metropolitan Area
Summary
This review examines empirical studies on how land use patterns in metropolitan areas affect socioeconomic and environmental indicators including GDP, housing prices, carbon storage, and microplastic concentrations, applying new data sources such as mobile phone signaling and spatial interaction modeling.
Owing to the increased associations between land use patterns and economic, social, and environmental systems in metropolitan areas, the exploration of the impacts of land use is of great importance for more efficient land use in spatial planning and policy-making. This reprint contains mainly empirical studies focusing on the effects of land use attributes on a series of socioeconomic and environmental indicators, such as gross domestic product, entrepreneurship, housing prices, street-level pedestrian volume, carbon storage and emission, and microplastic concentrations. New data such as mobile phone signaling data and new approaches such as spatial interaction modeling are applied in the studies included in this reprint to describe land use patterns and the impacts of land use.

The urban microplastic footprint: investigating the distribution and transport
Researchers investigated the distribution and transport of microplastics within an urban environment, mapping the 'urban microplastic footprint' to understand how city infrastructure and land use patterns drive the spatial distribution and downstream export of plastic particles to receiving water bodies.
Associations between microplastic pollution and land use in urban wetland sediments
This study examined microplastic pollution in urban wetlands and found that land use patterns -- particularly the proportion of impervious surfaces and proximity to urban infrastructure -- strongly predicted microplastic concentrations in wetland sediments.
Spatiotemporal changes in land use and residential satisfaction in the Huai River-Gaoyou Lake Rim area
Researchers used two decades of satellite data to track land use changes and ecological risks in China's Jiangsu Province, focusing on shifts between agricultural, urban, and wetland areas. Land use changes alter how plastic waste and microplastics are transported and deposited in freshwater ecosystems.
Impacts of land use/land cover on water quality: a contemporary review for researchers and policymakers
This review examines how different land uses, from farming to urban development, affect water quality through diffuse pollution. Natural vegetation acts as a protective buffer against contamination, but more research is needed to determine how much vegetation is required to effectively filter pollutants. The findings are relevant to microplastic pollution because urban runoff and agricultural land use are major pathways by which microplastics enter drinking water sources.
Systematic review of ecological research in Philippine cities: assessing the present status and charting future directions
This systematic review of 105 ecological studies in Philippine cities found that research is concentrated in Metropolitan Manila and relies heavily on survey questionnaires and remote sensing techniques. The findings highlight gaps in understanding how rapid urbanization in developing countries affects local ecosystems, which is relevant to microplastic pollution since fast-growing cities are major sources of plastic waste.
