ABSTRACT
Land use conflicts are spatial manifestations of human-land contradictions that threaten the region's
sustainable development. To alleviate pressure on land resource utilization and guide the governance
of land use conflicts, we drew on the ecological risk assessment conceptual framework and theories in
landscape ecology. We then constructed a land use conflict identification model. In addition, land use
conflicts under the food security constraint in 2030 were simulated and measured using the GMOP-PLUS
coupled model from the sustainable development perspective. This was done under three scenarios:
the natural development scenario, the high-quality development scenario, and the ecological protection
scenario. The results showed that land use conflicts in Shenyang demonstrate an overall exacerbating
trend and their spatial patterns remain relatively stable. They were characterized by low intensity in the
core urban areas and high intensity in other areas. Compared to 2019, the intensity of land use conflicts
in Shenyang will decrease under three scenarios in 2030, with significant alleviation observed under
the ecological protection scenario. The impact of socio-economic policies and ecological governance
policies on alleviating land use conflicts in Shenyang shows significant differences. This study offers
significant contributions to understanding land use conflict governance and regulation.
