Understanding the role of land attachment in the emergence of hollow villages based on the agent-based complex system framework

Rural hollowing and land attachment This study aims to understand the emergence hollowed villages with the abandonment of cropland and homestead with a spatially explicit agent-based model. The process of rural hollowing can be explained by social-ecological feedback between land use and labor migration.
