Some wildlife creatures, such as carnivores, disease-carrying mosquitoes, and virus, encroach into a city and harm human lives, but they are important for biodiversity. This paper studies land use policies for biodiversity conservation as well as protection of human lives in a continuous...

To explore the effect of the encroachment of wildlife into cities on equilibrium land use and its efficiency, we develop an equilibrium theory of land used for humans and wildlife...

In a continuous city with three distinct land use zones consisting of firms, condominiums and detached houses, we derive the formulae – composed entirely of observable variables – which design simultaneous optimization of regulations on building size, lot size and zonal boundaries under the...
