This study takes the central urban area of Zhengzhou City as its research object, integrating remote sensing imagery, POI data, and OSM road network data. It employs kernel density functions and precise identification rules to accurately classify land use functional types, combining various spatial statistical methods and location entropy analysis to explore the aggregation and diffusion characteristics of urban functional land use and the patterns of functional succession from 2012 to 2022. The research findings indicate: 1) The evolution of land use types exhibits significant differentiation and hybridization characteristics. 2) There is a lack of synchrony between functional spatial expansion and construction land expansion. 3) The restructuring of functional spaces exhibits differentiated patterns of aggregation and dispersion. 4) The evolution of dominant functions reflects a parallel trend toward specialization and diversification.

Spatial justice is of great significance to maintain and protect the interests of each community tourism participants. Taking Baixiangju community in Chongqing as a case, this paper discusses the processes and mechanisms of community tourism participation in the game and negotiation based on different dimensions of spatial justice. The results show that the game and negotiation between residents and tourists in the dimension of spatial production justice is the boundary game between natural living space and tourism consumption space; Under the dimension of spatial allocation and spatial value justice, the game and negotiation between "participation-benefit" residents and "resistance-rights protection" residents revolve around the heterogeneity of economic benefit distribution and the value difference of community function positioning; Under the dimension of spatial power and spatial procedural justice, residents and governments have realized an ethical shift from resistance to collaboration based on the reconstruction of governance power and the reconstruction of procedural legitimacy; The whole game and consultation process presents a triple logical evolution of the transformation of "social living space" and "spatial social structure", the transformation of tourism activities into tourism formats, and the evolution of residential communities into tourism communities.

Promoting the coordinated development of manufacturing intelligentization and greenization is an important approach to achieve high-quality development of the manufacturing sector. Based on the establishment of the coordinated development between manufacturing intelligentization and greenization, this paper uses the coupling coordination degree model to measure the coordinated development of manufacturing intelligentization and greenization in China from 2010 to 2021, and explores the source and driving factors of the spatial differentiation of coordinated development with the help of Dagum Gini coefficient and geographical detector. The results show that: 1) From the perspective of measurement results, during the observation period, the level of coordinated development between manufacturing intelligentization and greenization in China has generally continued to rise, undergoing an evolution from a stage of mild imbalance to a stage of primary coordination. 2) From the perspective of spatial differentiation and origin, the coordinated development between manufacturing intelligentization and greenization showed an unbalanced pattern of "eastern leading and central and western catching up'' and the overall difference eased over time. The inter-regional difference is the primary source of the overall difference, especially between the eastern and central regions. 3) From the perspective of driving factors, the spatial differentiation of the coupled and coordinated development between intelligentization and greenification in China's manufacturing industry is influenced by various factors.

Amid growing interest in the psychological benefits of tourism, this study explores how red tourism serves as a cultural healing mechanism that fosters individual self-transcendence. Drawing on tourism therapy theory and employing grounded theory methodology, we conducted in-depth interviews with 21 participants who recently engaged in red tourism and experienced personal distress. Through a three-stage psychological transformation: "vexed mind–healed mind–recovered mind", the study uncovers how red tourism facilitates the emotional and cognitive shift from life frustration to personal growth. Findings indicate that red tourism activates a multidimensional awe experience, which includes shock and solemnity, admiration and reverence, as well as reflection and introspection. This experience emerges through the combined influence of three key scene elements: the physical environment, the cultural atmosphere, and social interaction. Awe serves as a core emotional mediator that connects scene stimuli with cognitive restructuring and prosocial behavioral intentions, ultimately leading to self-transcendence. This emotional journey is not a passive reaction but a dynamic process in which individuals reconstruct meaning, reaffirm their values, and develop a renewed sense of purpose in life. The study builds a theoretical model of "Perceived Dilemmas–Scene Activation–Self-Transcendence, " highlighting the mediating role of awe in the transformation from self-centeredness to collective orientation. Practically, the study proposes strategies at macro (target market positioning), meso (scene design), and micro (emotional-behavioral intervention) levels to support red tourism's shift from ideological education to deep emotional healing. These insights offer both theoretical advancement and practical pathways for designing transformative tourism experiences.

How new regional industrial paths emerge constitutes one of the core issues in evolutionary economic geography. Recently, evolutionary economic geographers have recognized that a singular structural perspective is insufficient to explain the development processes of new regional industrial paths. By integrating concepts from innovation systems theory, transition studies, and institutional research, they emphasize the critical role of actors and their agencies in shaping new regional industrial paths. However, current research remains fragmented and has yet to develop systematic literature reviews or comprehensive syntheses. Thus, this study distinguishes between structural and agency perspectives in evolutionary economic geography, delineates how different types of agencies influence new regional industrial path, clarifies the strategic actions of diverse actors and their exercised agencies, and underscores the critical role of collective action and collective agency in regional new industrial path. Building on existing research, this paper argues that future studies should prioritize agency research within the Chinese context, clarify the roles of reproductive agency and peripheral actors in new regional industrial path, and differentiate types of agencies involved across distinct path development models.

In the context of digital transformation in tourism, tourism live streaming (TLS) has emerged as a novel virtual tourism experience, enabling participants to interact in real time with hosts/KOLs and scenic destinations. Drawing on dual-process theories of emotion, this study develops and validates a conceptual model of emotional and sentimental experience in TLS, integrating both explicit (verbal, self-reported) and implicit (facial expression-based) expression processes. Using a convergent mixed-method design, multimodal data from 41 tourism live streaming informants were collected, including facial emotion recognition via FaceReader software and semi-structured interviews. The results show that implicit expressions effectively captured short-lived and often negative emotions, such as anger or sadness, which were frequently underrepresented in verbal responses. In contrast, participants' self-report tended to highlight positive emotional memories, such as satisfaction, happiness, and inspiration. Dynamic temporal analyses further revealed distinct emotional patterns across three key phases of livestreaming experience: an anticipatory beginning, a peak interaction phase with high emotional volatility, and a reflective ending. These patterns suggest that emotional experience in TLS is phase-dependent and socially constructed through both interaction quality and content resonance. Furthermore, sentimental outcomes are reflected in core dimensions such as "enjoyment and autonomy", "inspiration and arousal", and "existence and identity".

Cross-border commuting is a defining feature of economic globalization and regional integration. This study examines mainland Chinese migrant workers commuting between Zhuhai and Macao in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a representative cross-border commuting region in China, to uncover the specific mechanisms by which "institutional" migration infrastructure shapes cross-border commuting patterns. Adopting the paradigm of historical institutionalism, this study emphasizes the historical evolution of institutional migration infrastructure and the socioeconomic outcomes produced at each stage of its development. We use document analysis as the primary research method, involving an in-depth examination of official legal documents, policy files, and various labor force related data from the Macao Special Administrative Region government archives since 1980. This method allows for a comprehensive analysis of how specific institutional migration infrastructures influence distinct patterns of cross-border commuting over time, capturing the underlying mechanisms that create, sustain, and transform these commuting patterns. Findings from this study reveal that institutional migration infrastructure changes have driven an evolution in migrant workers' commuting patterns, unfolding across three distinct stages: "no cross-border commuting, " "small-scale cross-border commuting, " and "large-scale cross-border commuting."

In the backdrop of solidifying gains achieved in poverty alleviation and intensifying support efforts in post-poverty regions, there's an urgent need to strengthen the sustainable development capacity of relocated communities for poverty alleviation. This imperative aligns closely with the national strategy aimed at propelling rural revitalization and attaining equitable prosperity. Drawing upon sustainable development theory, this study lays out a conceptual framework for the sustainable development of these relocated communities. The research conducts a thorough evaluation of the sustainable development effectiveness and obstacles encountered by these communities. By analyzing the spatial differentiation characteristics of sustainable development, a classification system is proposed for sustainable development pathways across various regions. Findings reveal that: Overall, the sustainable development effectiveness of relocated communities for poverty alleviation in Shuicheng district is moderately satisfactory, with minimal variation observed across communities but significant disparities in obstacles. Particularly noteworthy is the distinct 'coreperiphery' hierarchical structure observed in the sustainable development of relocated communities for poverty alleviation. Based on variations in sustainable development effectiveness and obstacles across communities, and considering local resource endowments, environmental conditions, and socio-economic attributes, this study proposes three distinct pathways for sustainable development: consolidation and expansion, enhancement and optimization, and leadership and deepening.
