Spatiotemporal change of land use for deceased in Beijing since the mid-twentieth century

The land use for the deceased is not only for the dead but also for the living relatives. It competes with land use for living populations in urban areas through occupying a specific space of land. This article looks at this shared interest in humankind by mapping the land use for the deceased in th...
