One explanatory factor is that individuals residing in areas with high GDP per capita are likely to have more personal income compared with those in low GDP per capita areas.
As the per capita land area declines, the relative value of land rises, and land becomes increasingly a source of conflict among economic and social groups within the community.
With per capita land area decreasing consistently, various measures are being adopted to increase the agricultural production from these shrinking resources to meet the emergent demand of escalating population.
Crop diversification, following intercropping and agroforestry, has been reported to be a potential alternative for enhancing per capita (unit area and time) productivity in the context of shrinking land holding and increasing human and livestock population (Swaminathan 2001).
Given the "man-land relationship" defined by large populations with relatively little arable land in China, this paper constructs a theoretical model for farmland transition using the per capita farmland area (PCFA) metric, which consists of the temporal changes in PCFA and PCFA spatial transitions as elevations change.
Controlling for GNI per capita, land area and female adult literacy, they find that the combined density of doctors and nurses to population is positively and significantly related to coverage of the three vaccines.
The proportion of poor households, as classified by local authorities (based on national poverty line using per capita income, area of land and assets household possessed), was approximately 10%.
At the same time, per-capita floor area per house increased by nearly three-fold.
(3) Significant differences in the proportion of GS and per-capita GS area were identified among various residential land types.
The results revealed several trends: (1) Newer built-up areas had a larger proportion of GS, more diversified GS types, and larger per-capita GS area.
The present study illustrates a multivariate analysis of per-capita forest area (PFA) in mainland Attica, the urban region surrounding Athens, Greece.
