滨海旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力测度及协调发展研究

基于恢复力视角,从脆弱性和应对能力两个层面构建评价指标体系,引入可变模糊识别模型,对辽宁省滨海旅游地2006—2015年的社会-生态系统恢复力进行测度,揭示其时序变化与空间差异特征,并对各子系统相互作用机制及协调发展状况进行探究。结果表明:(1)社会-生态系统恢复力总体呈平稳上升趋势,大连始终处于较高水平,其他均处于中等水平。社会子系统恢复力上升趋势较为平稳,经济子系统具有一定波动性,生态子系统恢复力较低且增速缓慢。系统总恢复力受社会、经济子系统影响较大,但长远来看生态子系统恢复力的提升最为关键。(2)经济-生态、社会-生态、社会-经济三类二元系统协调发展度以波动上升为主,三元系统协调发展度则与二元系统协调发展度的变化密切相关,空间维度上以大连最高,盘锦和营口最低。     

大别山贫困区旅游地社会—生态系统脆弱性时空演变与影响机理

旅游地社会—生态系统脆弱性主要由社会、经济、生态子系统要素和旅游发展所带来的相关变化要素构成,是社会脆弱性、经济脆弱性和生态环境脆弱性的综合体现。以大别山区9县（市）为例,基于SEE-PSR模型构建理论研究框架和综合评价体系,探讨贫困山区旅游地社会—生态系统脆弱性时空演变及影响机理。结果表明：① 2009-2016年,区域系统脆弱性综合指数由0.52波动降至0.41,其中经济子系统脆弱性指数呈持续下降趋势,社会子系统与生态子系统呈稳定态势且对区域系统脆弱性综合指数贡献率达到76%,目前区域整体属于较低脆弱并朝着利好方向发展。② 空间差异上,2009-2016年脆弱性综合指数低值县域随时间变化呈波动下降且变异系数较小,脆弱性综合指数高值县域于2013年开始下降逐步演变为较低脆弱等级且变异系数较大;县域间脆弱性空间差异呈现连续波动上升趋势,县域间差异有所增大。③ 阻碍旅游地社会—生态系统脆弱性降低的主要因素由旅游收入增长率、工业增加值占GDP比重、城乡收入差距、旅游总收入占GDP比重及耕地面积比率转变为旅游经济密度、游客密度及城镇化率,区域整体由状态主导型脆弱演化为压力主导型脆弱。     

秦巴山区社会-生态系统恢复力权衡-协同关系及驱动力——以陕南地区为例

秦巴山区是中国重要的生态功能区,面临生态环境保护与社会经济发展的双重压力。探究秦巴山区社会-生态系统相互作用关系对推动区域高质量发展具有重要的现实意义。目前已有研究受限于系统复杂性,仅聚焦于社会-生态系统恢复力的整体性评价,缺乏对各子系统之间的权衡与协同关系的讨论。本文以陕南地区为例,从社会、经济、生态子系统,脆弱性与应对能力两个维度建立恢复力指标体系,使用TOPSIS模型对陕南地区2005—2020年社会-生态系统恢复力进行测度,通过相关性分析衡量社会-生态系统恢复力各子系统间权衡与协同关系,并识别其主要驱动力。结果表明：(1)2005—2020年陕南地区社会、经济、生态系统和社会-生态系统恢复力均有不同程度的提升。(2)生态系统脆弱性分别与生态系统应对能力、社会系统脆弱性之间存在权衡关系,其他子系统之间主要表现为波动变化的协同关系。(3)与权衡关系相关的主要障碍因子为农村居民生活水平、地形破碎程度和垃圾处理能力;与协同关系相关的主要贡献因子为第一、二产业发展水平、地方财政实力、农村居民生活水平、垃圾处理能力以及教育发展水平。本研究从权衡与协同关系的问题视角出发解析社会-生态系统恢复...     

贫困区旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力时空分异研究——以安徽境内大别山区12个贫困县（市）为例

基于可变模糊识别模型分析 2008—2017年安徽境内大别山区12个贫困县（市）社会-生态系统恢复力的时空演变过程,采用障碍度模型揭示恢复力影响因素和特征。研究表明：① 时序变化上,社会-生态系统恢复力呈现稳步上升趋势,但总体仍处中低阶段。其中,社会子系统恢复力整体微升,局部年份有突变;经济子系统恢复力发展逐年提高;生态子系统恢复力“上升-下降-上升”反复波动,整体呈下降趋势;② 空间变化上,社会-生态系统恢复力总体上呈“极低-较低-中等”递进发展,各县（市）由分化到趋同,中部最快,南北均衡并进。其中,社会子系统恢复力空间关联性相对较弱,部分相邻区域阶段一致,总体北部快于南部;经济子系统恢复力空间关联性较强,连片提升,进度相似,总体南部快于北部;生态子系统恢复力空间关联性居中,部分区域短时间内步调一致,总体南慢北快。③ 旅游发展、人地关系、生态环境是贫困区旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力的主要影响因素。各县（市）越临近,影响因素相似度越高,但随地势复杂性增加,相似度由北至南递减。     

区域社会-生态系统恢复力协调发展时空演变研究——以陕西省为例

在人口增长、资源开发、城镇化等多因素驱动下,恢复力为区域社会-生态系统可持续发展提供了新的研究视角。以陕西省为研究区,基于社会、经济、生态3个子系统,综合考虑系统的脆弱性与应对能力构建指标体系,通过集对分析法对陕西省107个县级行政单元的社会-生态系统恢复力进行测度,根据恢复力测度结果,运用耦合协调度模型分析二元（社会-经济、社会-生态、经济-生态）及三元（社会-经济-生态）子系统的协调发展程度,从区域层面揭示其2000—2020年的时空演变特征,然后引入双变量空间自相关模型进一步探究二元与三元子系统协调发展度变化的数量及空间关联特征。结果表明：（1）研究期间陕西省社会、经济恢复力增长显著,生态恢复力呈微弱的下降趋势,社会-生态系统恢复力由0.303上升至0.779。（2）子系统协调发展度均呈上升趋势,社会-经济子系统南高北低的协调发展差异减弱,社会-生态、经济-生态子系统形成中部低南北高的协调发展格局,社会-经济-生态子系统协调发展度整体维持南高北低的空间分布特征。（3）二元子系统协调发展变化在数量及空间上与三元子系统协调发展变化有较大的正向关联性,以高-高、低-低类型评价单元在省域...     

干旱区文化旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力年际变化及影响因素——以甘肃省敦煌市为例

文旅融合背景下,分析文化旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力年际变化及影响因素,能够为文化旅游地可持续发展提供较好的理论和实践指导。以敦煌市为典型案例地,从社会、经济、文化和生态环境4个方面构建文化旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力评价指标体系,运用灰色关联TOPSIS、耦合协调度模型、BP神经网络等方法,探究了2007—2018年案例区社会-生态系统恢复力时序变化及影响因素。结果表明：（1） 2007—2018年敦煌市社会-生态系统恢复力处于较良好的状态且可划分为波动-缓慢增长-快速上升阶段。（2） 文化和生态环境子系统在决定敦煌市社会-生态系统恢复力程度方面起到主导作用。（3） 社会-生态系统及各子系统间的耦合度和协调度均呈上升趋势,子系统间对系统总体的协调度普遍起正向推动作用且作用强度随时间推移不断增大。（4） 各因子的贡献率大小为敦煌百度指数>敦煌研究院研究生数量>各类文物保护单位>旅游业碳总排放量>文化产业经营单位。     

黄土高原社会-生态系统恢复力时空变化特征与影响因素分析

社会-生态系统恢复力理论为可持续发展研究提供了新视角。从社会、经济、生态三大子系统,脆弱性和适应能力两大要素着手,建立社会-生态系统恢复力评价指标体系,采用集对分析法测度黄土高原2000—2018年各子系统及社会-生态系统恢复力,利用探索性空间数据分析法进行时空演变格局分析,并甄别社会-生态系统恢复力的主要影响因素。结果表明：（1） 2000—2018年社会-生态系统恢复力由0.522增强至0.721。社会恢复力由0.548增强至0.629后减弱至0.525;经济恢复力由0.401持续增强至0.850;生态恢复力由0.725减弱至0.607后增强至0.734,子系统恢复力演化趋势均不协同,经济系统与社会-生态系统恢复力演化趋势协同。经济系统恢复力的增强对于社会-生态系统恢复力增强具有显著促进作用。（2） 社会-生态系统恢复力出现显著空间集聚趋势,较高地区除省会城市和包头等能源富集区外,关中平原地区始终呈现高-高（H-H）集聚格局,其余地区恢复力普遍相对偏低。（3） 2000年以来黄土高原地区社会-生态系统恢复力生态维度障碍度始终高于社会和经济维度,不同地区指标层首要影响因素为人均GDP。     

基于SPA的中国沿海旅游城市经济系统脆弱性评价

运用集对分析法从经济敏感性和应对能力两方面对中国29个典型沿海旅游城市经济系统脆弱性进行测度.结果表明:1)沿海旅游城市经济系统脆弱性呈现出一定的区域差异:绍兴、南通、唐山、宁波为低脆弱性区域,而广州、秦皇岛、三亚、深圳、海口为高脆弱性区域;2)经济敏感性和应对能力共同决定沿海旅游城市经济系统脆弱性程度;3)根据障碍因素分析,总游客量增长率、旅游外汇收入占旅游总收入比重、旅游业增长弹性系数、旅游从业人员占总从业人员比重等敏感性因子及实际利用外资占全市GDP比重、教育支出占地方财政支出比重、人均GDP、产业结构多样化指数等应对能力因子是制约系统脆弱性降低的关键障碍因素.     

基于耗散结构理论的千岛湖旅游地演化过程及机制

从耗散结构理论的视角,认为千岛湖旅游地是以外部自然与社会经济环境为支撑,以吸引物子系统、设施子系统、服务子系统和支持子系统为基础的旅游地耗散结构系统(TDSS)。分析了其演化过程,认为从1959 年新安江水库建成到1981 年“富春江-新安江”被确定为国家首批重点风景名胜区,千岛湖旅游系统处于萌芽状态,各子系统尚未完善成形;1982 年至1994 年为系统形成期,各子系统发展逐渐完善,旅游系统整体效应开始初步显现;从1995 年起,千岛湖旅游地系统进入发展期,各子系统基本上发育成熟完善,子系统之间相互作用明显,系统的整体效应显著;2000 年以后,千岛湖旅游地系统处于优化发展状态,各子系统之间进一步协调发展,旅游系统整体效应大大增强,并推动了旅游地的转型发展。探讨了其演化机制,认为旅游地系统演化的本质是耗散结构的负熵输入过程,系统要素的非线性作用是其演化动力,并通过基于外部环境和政府主导的中心控制的系统他组织与基于供给与需求、人地关系、区域协调以及利益主体平衡四类非线性作用的系统自组织而实现。     

乡村旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力演化差异及影响机理——基于长三角核心-边缘区比较实证

基于适应性循环理论和核心-边缘理论,利用集对分析法、向量自回归、系统动力学仿真等多元集成方法,对比分析核心-边缘区乡村旅游地社会-生态系统恢复力演化机理和路径差异。研究发现：(1)旅游业能够推动核心-边缘区乡村旅游地恢复力一体化均衡发展,恢复力差距呈逐渐缩小趋势。(2)核心-边缘区乡村旅游地恢复力系统内部复杂交互、协同有序发展。社会、经济和生态子系统互为非线性动态因果关系,在此非线性复杂自组织力作用下子系统之间的耦合协调度呈良好发展趋势。(3)通过复杂系统多情景模拟,核心区乡村旅游地发展路径以协调发展型或生态保护型为主,边缘区以旅游优先型为主。(4)驱动核心-边缘区乡村旅游地恢复力演化的要素系统具有差异性。在系统层面,生态系统对核心区影响程度最高,社会系统对边缘区的影响程度最高;在因素层面,生态因素是影响核心-边缘区乡村旅游地的共同要素,核心区能够通过生态修复提升生态韧性,边缘区能够利用生态优势转化为发展优势,进而均能显著提升乡村旅游地恢复力。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
