| Constraint types | Constraint conditions | Explanations |
|---|---|---|
| Total area | ${\displaystyle \sum _{i}^{i=\text{6}}{x}_{i}}=352,180.66{\text{km}}^{2}$ | The total area of all land use types is equal to the total land area of the YRD region. |
| Farmland area constraint (x1) | 156,929.47 km2≤x1 ≤160,638.37 km2 | Farmland area shall not be less than the guaranteed amount of farmland (127,261 km2) stipulated in 2020 overall land use planning (OLUP) and the farmland area in 2035 (156,929.47 km2) calculated according to the rate of farmland reduction from 1990 to 2018; The maximum shall not exceed the sum of the total area minus the minimum value of other types of land (160,638.37 km2). |
| Forest area constraint (x2) | 100,065 km2≤x2 ≤103,773.9 km2 | Forest area shall not be less than the guaranteed amount of forest (100,065 km2) stipulated in 2020 overall land use planning (OLUP); The maximum shall not exceed the sum of the total area minus the minimum value of other types of land (103,773.90 km2). |
| Grassland constraint (x3) | 9736.04 km2≤x3 ≤13,444.94 km2 | The minimum shall not be less than the grassland area in 2035 (9736.04 km2) calculated according to the grassland reduction rate in YRD region from 1990 to 2018; The maximum shall not exceed the sum of the total area minus the minimum value of other types of land (13,444.94 km2). |
| Water area constraint (x4) | 25,933.81 km2≤x4 ≤27,097.33 km2 | Due to the heavy precipitation in YRD, the water area continued to increase during the study period, so the minimum water area in 2035 should not be less than that in 2018 (25,933.81 km2). It shall not exceed the water area in 2035 (27,097.33 km2) calculated according to the increase speed of water area in YRD region from 1990 to 2018. |
| Construction land constraint (x5) | 47,357 km2≤x5≤ 59,489 km2 | The minimum shall not be less than construction land area in 2018 (47,357.00 km2); The maximum shall not exceed 110% (59,489.00 km2) of the demand for construction land under ID scenario. |
| Unused land constraint (x6) | 325.44 km2≤x6≤ 475.75 km2 | The minimum shall not be less than unused land area in 2018 (325.44 km2); It shall not exceed the unused land area in 2035 (475.75 km2) calculated according to the increase speed of unused area in YRD region from 1990 to 2018. |
