The role of spatial metrics in the analysis and modeling of urban land use change (2005, background): “…may also contribute to better representations of the spatial heterogeneity of urban land use structure, landscape features and socioeconomic phenomena, improving on the traditional models that often tend to reduce urban space to a uni-dimensional measure of distance (Irwin & Geoghegan, 2001).”
Mapping social–ecological systems: Identifying ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ dynamics based on characteristic bundles of ecosystem service use (2015, background): “Population density and distance to a city are variables representing the rural–urban gradient, and have been shown to be significant factors in land use change and resource use (Irwin and Geoghegan, 2001; Pfaff, 1999).”
Economics and Land‐Use Change in Prioritizing Private Land Conservation (2005, methodology): “These examples demonstrate one approach to modeling landuse change, and a broader discussion of land-use change models is available (Angelsen & Kaimowitz 1999; Irwin & Geoghegan 2001; Agarwal et al. 2002; Parker et al. 2003).”
Linking Land Change with Driving Forces and Actors: Four Conceptual Models (2010, methodology): “They are used either independently or in conjunction with other theories such as Chayanov’s theory of the peasant economy, Boserup’s thesis (Boserup 1965), and historical analysis (Angelsen 1999, Geoghegan et al. 2001, Irwin and Geoghegan 2001, Perz and Walker 2002, Walker 2004, Caldas et al. 2007).”
Theorizing Land-Cover and Land-Use Change: The Case of Tropical Deforestation (2004, background): “A number of authors have already provided useful reviews on the subject and summarized most of the work to date (European Space Agency 1994; Kaimowitz and Angelsen 1998; Geist and Lambin 2001; Lambin et al. 2001; Irwin and Geoghegan 2001; Geist and Lambin 2002).”
Environmental cognitions, land change, and social–ecological feedbacks: an overview (2013, background): “It often assumes that land managers make decisions in order to maximize their utility, with the utility function usually corresponding to profit, or labor productivity (Irwin and Geoghegan 2001), or a combination of subsistence goods production and leisure (Walker et al.”
Oil palm plantations in Colombia: a model of future expansion (2013, methodology): “Approaches that include a combination of general equilibrium models and multi-criteria analysis, such as those developed by Irwin and Geoghegan (2001) and Lotze-Campen et al. (2009) could be well suited to this end.”
Driving forces of tropical deforestation: The role of remote sensing and spatial models (2006, background): “Irwin and Geoghegan (2001) distinguish between empirical LUCC models and spatial economic LUCC models, indicating that while the former may ‘fit’ observed LUCC patterns reasonably well to spatial processes, they are less successful at explaining the human behaviour driving the observed patterns,…”
Middle-range theories of land system change (2018, background): “, parcel) land-use change stemming from individual decision-making (Irwin and Geoghegan, 2001).”
