摘要

The interface between rural and urban areas, often referred to as the rural–urban fringe, is a dynamic and evolving landscape. This transition zone is characterized by a blend of rural and urban features, where the impact of urbanization is particularly pronounced. As urban areas expand, the dynamics of the rural–urban interface change, leading to significant environmental, social, and economic consequences. The changing dynamics along rural–urban interfaces have profound impacts on the environment, society, and economy. Urban expansion leads to the loss of agricultural land, biodiversity decline, and water resource challenges, while also bringing improved infrastructure and services to rural areas. Social impacts include community displacement and cultural changes, as well as increased housing demand and urban sprawl. Economically, the rural–urban interface presents both challenges and opportunities, affecting land values, agricultural productivity, and economic diversification.
