As peri-urbanisation becomes widespread, quantitative methods for identifying peri-urban areas (PUAs) are increasingly abundant. This study aims to quantitatively compare the differences in the results obtained from multiple PUA identification methods within the same study area and to analyse the spatial patterns of the PUAs. The Threshold Method, Breakpoint Clustering, and Multilayer Perceptron were chosen to compare the identification results of PUAs in Zhengzhou City, China.

After 1990, the process became extremely intensive and transformed the compact form of cities into more decentralised and dispersed urban structures. Therefore, the study aims to identify the main trends in land-cover transformation caused by urban sprawl in peri-urban areas of three Central and Eastern European cities (NUTS 3 level: the Pest County, Bratislava Region, and Krakowski subregion).

- During urbanization in developing countries, green infrastructure is fragmented, causing a mismatch between supply and demand for urban ecosystem services, particularly in Zhengzhou, China.
- The study evaluated excessive demand for six ecosystem services, highlighting that CO regulation is the most needed, particularly in older neighborhoods facing poor urban infrastructure for flood management.
- The analysis identified eight priority areas for green infrastructure development and revealed positive correlations between population density and demand for ecosystem services.
