China's Urbanization and Its Ecological Environment Challenges in the 21st Century

Urbanization is a worldwide historical process. Although China's urbanization started late, it is fast, large in scale, high in resource and energy consumption, and leads to a series of water and thermal environment problems. This paper systematically sorted out the ecological environment challenges faced by Chinese cities under the dual pressures of global climate change and urbanization, such as water shortages and water pollution, increasingly serious urban heat island issues and ecological hydrological disasters. It proposed to solve the problem of urban ecological environment with the theory and means of urban ecohydrology, improve the quality of urbanization in China, and realize livable cities.     

Urbanization and desertification in the Sudan with special reference to Khartoum

Urbanization-desertification interactions in the arid zones of the Sudan represent a challenge for future management planners. Desertification leads to a considerable movement into the towns, thereby encouraging the urbanization process. However, due to the large pull effect of large urban centres which are limited in number and unevenly distributed over the area, most of the migration is oriented towards them. This tendency is strengthened, furthermore, by the present planning trends of growth pole centres. The result is overcrowding, negative over-urbanization diseconomies and more pressure on the natural resources in the immediate hinterland, thus further accelerating the desertification process. Some examples are given in the paper to show how the rapid increase of urban population and the rapid growth of urban centres have reflected themselves in difficulties in procuring wood fuel or naturally grown raw materials for traditional and small urban industries. The specific example of Khartoum, the largest urban centre in the Sudan with the highest rate of growth is treated in detail to show how rapid urbanization processes would result in intensified desert conditions and how ecological interactions and effects would be faster and more serious in a more vulnerable ecological location.     

Research Progress on the Impact of Urbanization on Climate Change

The world has been undergoing a remarkable process of urbanization, especially in developing countries in recent years. The urbanization process has brought about great urban development and large population agglomeration, changes in production and lifestyle, and man-made disturbances such as greenhouse gas and pollution emissions. As the global urbanization process continues to advance, its impact on climate change continues to strengthen significantly. This paper mainly reviewed and summarized relevant researches from two aspects: the influence of urbanization on climate change and the mechanism of influence of urbanization on climate change. Urbanization causes regional warming and urban heat island effect, extreme events such as high temperature, heat wave and heavy rainfall increase in frequency, and also leads to increased urban flood risk. The increase of pollutant emission in the process of urbanization is the main cause of air quality deterioration. Urbanization also has an indirect impact on air quality by changing urban climate. Urbanization has an important impact on climatic factors such as relative humidity, wind speed, sunshine and cloud cover. The impacts of urbanization on climate change are mainly realized through underlying surface changes, greenhouse gas and pollution emissions, anthropogenic heat emissions and urban high heat capacity. Urbanization not only directly affects the regional/local climate, but also indirectly affects the regional/local climate by promoting global climate change. Therefore, the impact of urbanization on climate change has a global and regional multi-scale superposition effect.

Socio-spatial differentiation and residential segregation in Delhi: a question of scale?

This paper focuses on the pattern of social-spatial differentiation and segmentation of the metropolitan area of Delhi. The main objective is to analyse the mechanisms of residential segregation and the factors that explain it both at the micro- and macro-level. In the context of the Indian society and its caste system traditionally associated with strong social and spatial segregation, we try to appraise the extent to which the metropolitanization process in Delhi engenders original forms of spatial segmentation or perpetuates and strengthens the traditional forms of socio-spatial divisions. At the level of the global spatial organization of the urban agglomeration, our objective is twofold: to analyse the factors that shaped the urban landscape and introduced spatial discontinuity, from physical barriers to the different historic periods and the impact of town planning; to analyse the residential pattern of different segments of the urban population, in order to detect whether certain economic and socio-cultural attributes generate a pattern of segregation. We then pursue a more detailed investigation at the level of a zone, based on the case study of Mayur Vihar-Trilokpuri in east Delhi. We analyse the residential practices developed by different socio-economic groups, their strategies as regards the occupation of the geographical and economic space, their tendency to residential clustering that leads to a pattern of social segregation at the level of the neighbourhood. In this perspective, the links between the urban policies at the macro-level and the individuals’ residential practices at the micro-level are also examined.

The future of informal settlements: lessons in the legalization of disputed urban land in Recife, Brazil

The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between legalization of land tenure and people's capacity to compete for and sustain their stake in the urban land market. Two aspects of land regularization are taken into account: the benefits of land regularization (as collateral for investments); and the perverse aspects of disputes over improved land (due to increased scarcity of illegal, but affordable housing land). Most research on illegal urban land has systematically investigated how to legalize illegal settlements to improve the effectiveness of service provision, whilst attracting public investments. But, few understand the underlying factors motivating people to improve and consolidate their houses where no legal tenure exists. The absence of substantial understanding about people's perceptions of their tenure security has encouraged most research to conclude that improving tenure security leads to higher levels of housing consolidation. What this paper shows is that the relationship between people's perceptions of land tenure security and housing consolidation is much more malleable and complex than conventionally assumed. The subtle difference between tenure of the land and tenure of the house indicates that people are willing to invest in their housing conditions almost irrespectively of their land tenure situation. This finding challenges the orthodox views of the property rights school of thought. In addition, this paper contends that what legalization is really doing is to reduce the available land stock for the poorest families, because legalization decreases the amount of illegal land (illegal land is undesirable, but affordable for the poor). The orthodox legal system needs to be revised to include the poorest families in the urban society of the new millennium.     

虹桥商务区核心区域地质灾害隐患预防监测与分析

上海地区深基坑工程、轨道交通等重大工程集聚地,大型商业CBD、城市功能中心等是地质灾害易发区。地质灾害应急管理工作考量区域建设活动和人工活动的强度和密度,选择开发程度高、项目类型多、地下空间开发力度大、人工活动频繁的区域,作为典型区域进行地质灾害隐患预防监测,对于研究典型区域内地质灾害隐患发展趋势,掌握区域地质灾害隐患长期发展规律,完善区域地质灾害隐患预防措施十分必要。本文以2012—2014年虹桥商务区核心区域的监测数据为基础,以地表沉降数据为主进行研究,发现大量地下工程同时施工,对区域地质环境影响明显,导致的地面沉降危害逐渐显现,危害程度逐渐增大。     

大尺度无管流数据城区SWMM构建及模拟——Ⅱ.模型参数校验及暴雨径流模拟分析

目前,中国城区大多缺乏实测管道流量数据,给城市水文模型构建及精细化模拟带来了挑战。在北京亦庄经济开发核心区下垫面精细数字化的基础上,以典型点的最大径流深为验证要素,以实地踏勘为主、经验率定为辅,分别选取2012年"7·21"和2011年"6·23"两场典型大暴雨径流过程,完成了区域SWMM(Storm Water Management Model)模型的参数率定和验证;并就不同重现期设计暴雨下,不同典型用地子汇水区的产汇流响应特征及内涝交通拥堵风险进行了分析及评估。结果表明:随着重现期的增加,道路与交通设施用地对暴雨增幅的响应速率远高于公园绿地的响应速率,前者的内涝交通拥堵风险亦远高于后者;间接反映了不同下垫面条件造成产汇流响应的差异程度。相关成果可为区域城市洪涝管理与预警提供决策参考。     

风场变形误差对北京降水记录及变化趋势的影响

风场变形误差是降水观测误差最主要的来源之一,其不仅影响观测值的准确性,也可能导致长期降水变化趋势中隐含虚假成分。结合北京地区20个气象站点1976-2015年逐日观测资料及前人研究成果,评估了风场变形误差对降水记录及其长期变化趋势的影响,结果表明:①近40年来北京地区平均降水捕获率为90%~95%,上升趋势较明显,但空间分布不均匀。城市化进程导致的风速减小是近10年来北京城、乡降水捕获率差异加大的主要原因。②北京地区风场变形误差存在明显的年际及季节差异。近40年来年均降水量订正值为23.1 mm,观测值较实际降水量年均低估了4.0%。订正后年均降水强度从实测的7.9 mm/d增加到8.3 mm/d,年降水量的下降速率从34.4 mm/10 a变为37.0 mm/10 a,观测值将降水强度低估了约4.8%,且将降水量的下降趋势低估了约7.0%。③对于强度越大的降水过程,风场变形引起的观测误差也越明显。对比发现,城市站点的风场变形误差年际振幅要大于乡村站点,弱降水过程中乡村站点的低估比城市站点明显,对大雨及以上强降水过程则相反,城市站点的低估比乡村站更显著。

氮迁移转化对地下水硬度升高的影响

城市地下水硬度升高是一个普遍的环境问题,研究表明地下水硬度高值区与硝酸盐污染在空间上的分布具有一致性。通过室内土柱试验和化学热力学模拟,讨论了污水入渗过程中氮迁移转化对水土系统钙镁迁移的影响。结果表明：在连续入渗条件下,阳离子交换作用是控制地下水硬度升高的主要过程;在间歇入渗条件下,硝化作用改变了土水系统的酸碱条件,使钙镁难溶盐溶解,导致地下水硬度升高。     

Vulnerability assessment of urban groundwater resources to nitrate: the case study of Mashhad,Iran

Groundwater vulnerability assessment of urban areas is a challenging task in the fast trend of urbanization around the globe. This study introduces a new approach for modifying well-known parameters of common vulnerability indexes to adjust them for urban areas. The approach is independent of a specific weighting system. The aquifer of Mashhad city, contaminated by domestic wastewater, is selected as a case in this study. In order to evaluate the aquifer vulnerability due to anthropogenic activities, at first, parameters of depth to groundwater, recharge, land use, and soil are modified based on their basic concepts and their influences on contamination attenuation. Then, the modified parameters are used simultaneously in several index methods to investigate the capability of the modified parameters to increase correlation coefficient of all employed index methods with the measured nitrate concentration. Accuracy of the modified methods is evaluated by Spearman nonparametric correlation. It is shown that considering the wastewater discharge into recharge parameter leads to an increase of 20% in correlation coefficient. Also, level difference technique shows that more than 70% of the vulnerable areas are predicted correctly in all utilized methods. The accurate prediction in all employed methods indicates that these modifications are independent of the type of index method. Moreover, sensitivity analysis reveals that the recharge and the land use are both the most significant parameters for evaluating the vulnerability.     

中国土地利用/覆盖变化的生态环境安全响应与调控

中国从20世纪70年代末实施了前所未有的改革开放政策，巨大的境外投资、有偿转让使用与土地联产承包政策在广大城乡的推行，引致了快速的城市化与经济增长过程，城市化水平增长15%，GDP平均每年增长超过9%，城市化土地面积增长2%。与此相应，严重的生态环境灾害相继发生，1994年淮河特大污染事件；1997年黄河断流227天；1998年发生长江、嫩江流域特大水灾；2000年发生严重影响中国首都北京及韩国、日本的12次沙尘暴；2004年，淮河流域再次发生严重污染事件。综合分析表明，土地利用/覆盖格局的巨大变化、城市化过程的加速、乡镇企业的迅猛发展成为其主因。一些案例研究表明，重建生态环境安全条件下的中国土地利用/覆盖格局，制定与生态环境安全水平友好的国家土地利用政策，不仅有利于改善中国生态环境安全水平，还将促进其可持续发展，并有益于亚洲及世界生态环境的改良。     

Fractured space: a geographical reflection on the digital divide

What does it mean to reflect upon space in connection to telecommunications? If we start with a conception of urban space as being fully integrated, including on an equal footing both information and communication technologies (ICT) and mobility techniques, as well as the founding notion of copresence that we find at the heart of all urban organization, we might then be able to examine the notion of the ‘digital divide’ in a new light. This clearly experimental approach is conducted by a research group called ‘Urbatic’, which is composed of geographers who, for the last three years, have been conducting theoretical research whose objective is to take into account two fields of social science: the theory of urbanity and the theory of telecommunication. Surveys conducted in this perspective focus on the analysis of the choices people make between the different means they can use to cope with distances (copresence, mobility and telecommunication) with a view to constructing their own space. The analysis of these choices leads us to propose a new theorized interpretation of the ‘digital divide’.     

Estimating potential direct runoff for ungauged urban watersheds based on RST and GIS

Estimating the potential direct runoff for urban watersheds is essential for flood risk mitigation and rainwater harvesting. Thus, this study aims to estimate the potential runoff depth based on the natural resources conservation service (NRCS) method and delineation of the watersheds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. To accomplish this objective, the geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing technique (RST) data were integrated to save time and improve analysis accuracy. The employed data include the digital elevation model (DEM), soil map, geology map, satellite images, and daily precipitation records. Accordingly, the hydrologic soil groups (HSG), the land use/land cover (LULC), and curve number (CN) were determined for each watershed in the study area. The results of this analysis show that the study area can be delineated into 40 watersheds with a total area of 8500 km². Furthermore, the dominant HSG is group D, which represents about 71% of the total area. The LULC maps indicate four major land types in the entire study area: urban, barren land, agricultural land, and roads. The CN of the study area ranges from 64 to 98, while the weighted CN is 92 for the city. The rainfall-runoff analysis shows that the area has a high and very high daily runoff (35–50 and >?50 mm, respectively). Therefore, in this case, the runoff leads to flooding, especially in the urban area and agricultural lands.     

Urban Planning in Hong Kong and Integration with the Pearl River Delta: A Historical Account of Local Development

This paper shows the importance that urban planning plays in the development of Hong Kong. This leads to a reassessment of the role of the government, which is the sole proprietor of the land, in the economy – while it acknowledges the importance of market forces. The first part shows how, since 1945, Hong Kong authorities have been obliged to intervene more in urban planning and local development, despite their liberal ideology. The second part focuses on the interaction between government action and market forces, and their influence in this development. The third part deals with the question of the economic integration between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta (PRD) after China started its economics reforms in 1978. The deconcentration of Hong Kong industries to China was mainly due to market forces, but provided a new role for the government. This role is analyzed through its transportation policy – the domain with the most visible governmental intervention before and after 1997. It indicates the preference of the government to develop the territory rather than better integration with the PRD, because of the internal economic problems that may emerge from this integration. Nevertheless, for political and economic reasons, this integration is also seen as necessary. The future of Hong Kong’s economy lies in the answers the authorities will give to this dilemma.

Engineering geological data in support of municipal land use planning—a case study in Analandia, southeast Brazil

This paper presents a method for transforming the information of an engineering geological map into useful information for non-specialists involved in land-use planning. The method consists of classifying the engineering geological units in terms of land use capability and identifying the legal and the geologic restrictions that apply in the study area. Both informations are then superimposed over the land use and a conflict areas map is created. The analysis of these data leads to the identification of existing and forthcoming land use conflicts and enables the proposal of planning measures on a regional and local scale. The map for the regional planning was compiled at a 1:50,000 scale and encompasses the whole municipal land area where uses are mainly rural. The map for the local planning was compiled at a 1:10,000 scale and encompasses the urban area. Most of the classification and operations on maps used spatial analyst tools available in the Geographical Information System. The regional studies showed that the greater part of Analandia’s territory presents appropriate land uses. The local-scale studies indicate that the majority of the densely occupied urban areas are in suitable land. Although the situation is in general positive, municipal policies should address the identified and expected land use conflicts, so that it can be further improved.
