中国大城市蔓延指数的开发

城市蔓延已成为具有普遍意义的现象,然而,城市蔓延内涵的争议性和模糊性问题一直没有得到很好的解决。本文将城市蔓延定义为一种低效、低密度、无序的城市空间开发模式,这种开发模式与中国城市高质量发展的目标和要求是相违背的。为实现对城市蔓延的宏观管理和精准调控,有效遏制城市蔓延带来的负面影响,本文开发了一套多维度、可比较的,并且与城镇化质量紧密关联的城市蔓延指数。基于卫星影像与人口、经济统计数据,选取代表城市蔓延核心特征的多个指标,采用主成分分析法计算了全国主要大城市2014年城市蔓延指数。结果发现,经济效率维主成分对综合蔓延指数贡献最大（41.30%）,人口密度维主成分次之（20.49%）,空间形态维主成分贡献率排第三（12.35%）。值得注意的是,许多经济发展较落后的城市因为经济效率维度的短板效应显著而被列入最蔓延的行列。此外,不同维度城市蔓延指数空间分布差异明显,并且综合蔓延指数与城市规模呈一定的负相关关系。     

广州市的蔓延机理与调控

城市蔓延给城市的合理发展带来多方面的危害。广州市自20世纪80年代以来,城市蔓延日趋严重。大型项目的建设、城市机动化与快速交通的发展、外围地区房地产的发展以及行政区划的调整等多种因素,都不同程度地导致了广州的城市蔓延。广州现行的城市发展政策与空间策略并不能很好地起到控制城市蔓延的作用。要遏制城市的继续蔓延,需要运用精明增长的理念,注重提高增长的质量,尽快制定明确的城市增长边界,严格控制外围郊区大型房地产的发展,并防止城市的过度机动化。     

Invisible homelessness: anonymity,exposure, and the right to the city

The city of Denver, Colorado recently outlawed camping in all open space. Part of a broad effort to accelerate the profit potential of prime urban land through real estate speculation and commerce, the camping ban has dislocated homeless people from the city’s marginal spaces. Based on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Denver, this article develops a tripartite approach to public space—prime, everyday, and marginal—to analyze challenging ways in which people who are homeless in Denver must now manage their exposure to others in everyday public spaces. In addition to eliminating places of hard-won safety and security, this singular new code disrupts hygiene, mobility, and sociability routines, thus throwing already precarious lives into further disarray by rendering housing status visible. To demonstrate how everyday social justice springs from interaction between different people co-present in public space, we foreground the voices of Denver’s homeless people, those most impacted by quality of life laws. Evicting individuals from marginal spaces and rendering them visibly homeless in everyday and prime spaces, the ban deprives them of a fundamental right to the city: anonymity.     

2000-2009年长春、吉林城市蔓延特征、效应与驱动力比较研究

经济核心区是国家和地区经济增长、城市化发展的主要空间,也是城市蔓延最为严峻的区域。长(春)吉(林)一体化地区是中国图们江区域合作开发开放的先导区和东北地区的粮食主产区,肩负着“经济增长”、“人口城镇化”和“粮食安全”等多重责任。基于2000、2005、2009年的遥感图像和相关年份的统计年鉴,结合GIS和SPSS统计工具,对长、吉城市蔓延的程度、方式、效应与驱动力因子进行了比较分析。结果表明:用地扩展水平上长春市明显强于吉林市,且吉林市还表现出明显的阶段性特征;蔓延程度上,两市都表现出集约度低下、蔓延程度大的特性;蔓延方式上,长春市以“近域推进”式蔓延为主,吉林市以“轴带扩展”式蔓延为主;蔓延效应上,都带来了一系列负面效应,但长春市程度要重;在蔓延驱动力上,工业化和投资拉动是两者共同的主导影响因子,带有明显的政府导向性特征。文中提倡城市内部土地节约集约利用、区际培育城市群以形成合理的城市规模。

In the second half of the 20th century, considerable resources and efforts have been devoted to revitalizing American central cities. In these redevelopment processes, however, the common byproduct of physical upgrading is social upgrading, the displacement of many of the original residents, who are often low-income and minority, from their traditional neighborhoods. This article explores the various processes of physical and social upgrading—including locally driven urban renewal, private sector "blockbusting," and gentrification—occurring in late 20th century Houston, Texas. This research also examines the neighborhood characteristics and demographic patterns that influence the occurrence of specific upgrading processes. One location of particular interest in the study is Houston's historic African American community of Freedmen's Town, which has experienced decades of conflict over land and space. Most recently, Freedmen's Town has been at the focus of Houston's urban revival, where physical upgrading has been accompanied by the displacement of the community's traditional population and the destruction of this historic neighborhood.     

Time,Territory and Man: A Geographic,Instructional Approach to Growth and Change in China

Abstract

China, despite its failure to modernize in step with Europe's industrial revolution, has a long and rich history of commerical and economic growth, development, and integration. Economic growth and environmental change are presented here, and two dimensions—space and time—are invoked to describe the process as it took place in mainland China. The objectives are to present generalized abstractions of the Chinese earth space and environment within a chronological framework of growth and change in China. Three salient phases of progression are noted:

1) A traditional transition

2) A Western and Japanese influenced Commercial/Industrial transformation

3) A Socialist planned development

At each stage of the sequence, significant landscape and environmental changes have been imposed, and these are explored in order to determine key themes and alterations at a local, regional and national scale. Such a sequential model should permit the accurate simplification and increased cross-national understanding of complex phenomena and facilitate presentation of these phenomena in classroom situations.     

Everyday Ecologies: Cities,Nature, and leaching Urban Ecology

Abstract

Conventional geographical approaches to the city tend to place the study of urban form and urban space squarely within the political-economic and cultural branches of geography. Geographic pedagogy has tended to assume, therefore, that nature is absent from the city or exists only as a backdrop or stage on which urban economic and cultural activities take place. In contrast, there has been a recent groundswell of interest—originating in places as diverse as environmental activism, environmental history, landscape architecture, and environmental education—in reinterpreting the city as a space intimately connected with nature. This article examines the possibilities for integrating this rethinking of the relationship between city and nature into undergraduate education. Specifically, it outlines the rationale, objectives, and design of a course on urban ecology and examines the benefits and challenges of doing urban ecology as part of geographic education.     

MORALITY,SPACE, AND THE POWER OF WIND‐ENERGY LANDSCAPES

ABSTRACT. Most of us have not known—or cared—where our electricity comes from. Our attitude is changing, however, as we turn toward wind energy, now the fastest‐growing renewable energy resource in the world. Because we cannot extract and transport the raw energy of the wind, reaping its many environmental benefits requires that we cope with the landscape presence of its development wherever it occurs. Sometimes this interferes with the value of open space, and sometimes it may be close to subdivisions. It is the immobility and very visibility of wind power that makes its presence unavoidable. In that regard it cannot be hidden underground, stored in tanks, or moved by trains. It is an energy resource that reminds us that our electricity comes from somewhere. The more we wish to tap the power of the wind, the less we will be able to avoid the responsibilities that our demand for energy brings. This necessary bargain, first evident near Palm Springs, California, is now being experienced wherever wind power is being developed.     

Suburbanization and sustainability in metropolitan Moscow

Although Soviet-era urban-growth controls produced relatively sustainable metropolitan development patterns, low-density suburban sprawl has accelerated markedly in modern Russia. Distinctive features of Moscow's development history are its greenbelt, which dates from 1935 and is becoming increasingly fragmented, proliferation of satellite cities at the urban fringe, conversion of seasonal dachas into full-time residences, the very exclusive Rublevo Uspenskoe Highway development, and today's crippling traffic congestion. The recent economic crisis has slowed development and actually increased the supply of “economy-class” single-family homes, for which there is much pent-up desire but insufficient credit availability to meet the demand. A renewed commitment to sustainability's triple bottom line—environmental quality, equity, and economic prosperity—will require greater government transparency and fairness, stronger planning controls, and an expanded public transportation system.     

Four decades of urban sprawl and population growth in Teresina,Brazil

The expansion of medium-sized cities in Brazil has increased significantly since the 80–90's decades. In that period, most of the urbanization process was represented by the agglomeration of the population in the major metropolitan areas such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Nowadays, the rural-urban movement in Brazil is predominantly affecting cities with less than 1 million inhabitants, located particularly in the Center-West and in the Semiarid Northeast regions. The city of Teresina, the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Piauí, is one example that has shown an accelerated process of urban development. In this context, this paper seeks to discuss the urban sprawl of Teresina over the last four decades (1974–2014), associating its trends of urban expansion and population growth with their social and environmental implications. The results of our work indicate that urban sprawl in Teresina has been continuous over the years and getting faster in the 2010–2014 period. High demographic density areas are located mostly in peripheral zones, where the low-income population dominates. The population density varies across the city, and it is far from the standard proposed by the urban legislation. Thus, urbanization in Teresina is characterized by the sprawl of its municipal boundaries, intra-urban densification and verticalization, and an increase in population, especially in areas of low-income neighborhoods.

大都市空间扩展的周期性特征——以美国华盛顿-巴尔的摩地区为例

针对大都市区城市化快速发展中, 景观替代具有区域相关性和时序变化的基本特点, 以美国华盛顿-巴尔的摩地区200年都市化发展史为例, 以逻辑斯蒂增长模型为基础, 引进2种景观类型的空间增长模型。研究表明, 华盛顿-巴尔的摩都市区的增长具有明显的30~40年周期性, 分为3个大周期和6个半周期。在有限空间容量下, 本区采用大面积发展城市森林的手段, 缓解城市空间扩展与环境恶化的矛盾。运用竞争系数0.1和0.2条件下的增长模型对这一过程进行模拟。     

小城镇住宅用地扩张案例研究--以湖北省通城县隽水镇为例

以实地问卷调查为主,政府部门资料为辅,采用对比分析方法,以湖北省通城县隽水镇为例,研究小城镇住宅用地扩张规律。研究表明：小城镇住宅用地无论在扩张时序、扩张影响因素上均与大城市存在很大差异,以私房为主的住宅建设模式使小城镇住宅用地扩张呈现低效率;城镇化进程的推进与流动人口的涌入直接或间接地影响着小城镇住宅用地扩张,是今后导致小城镇住宅用地扩张的持续推动力。     

北京城市蔓延的测度与分析

针对现阶段我国城市用地快速扩张和无序蔓延的现实问题, 以北京市在1996~2004 年期间的城市扩展作为研究案例, 提出可以从城市扩展形态、扩展效率和外部影响等三个方面来判识城市蔓延现象, 并提出基于地理空间指标体系的城市蔓延测度方法, 主要由涉及人口、经济、土地利用、农业、环境和城市生活等方面的13 项指标所组成。实证分析结果表明, 该方法可以有效地测度和量化研究区城市蔓延的特征: ① 建设用地斑块具有明显的破碎化和不规则化趋势, 缺乏良好的规划控制, 不连续开发、条带式开发和跳跃式开发特征明显, 扩展形态不尽合理; ② 新增建设用地的建设密度和容积率较低, 并且新增用地的人口密度和经济产出水平均低于原有用地绩效, 扩展效率不高; ③ 城市蔓延占用大量的耕地和开敞空间、加重了交通负担, 对农业、环境和城市生活存在显著的负面影响。     

灌丛对流动沙地土壤特性和草本植物的影响

通过对流动沙地灌丛内外土壤特性、土壤养分含量、土壤种子库和草本植物群落特征的差异性调查,分析了灌丛对沙地土壤特性和林下草本植被的影响。结果表明,在流动沙地0—20 cm土壤中细沙、极细沙、粘粉粒、有机质、总氮和总磷、有效磷和土壤水分含量,小叶锦鸡儿灌丛下分别较灌丛外高17.3%、4.4%、 49.5%、43.8%、40.0%、23.1%、16.3%和10.8%,黄柳灌丛下较灌丛外分别高3.5%、21.3%、0.0%、20.0%、16.7%、8.3%、10.6%和28.1%。小叶锦鸡儿、差不嘎蒿和黄柳灌丛下凋落物蓄积量要比灌丛外分别高18.3倍、365.2倍和15.5倍。差不嘎蒿灌丛下土壤种子库密度较灌丛外高10.9倍。原为半固定、半流动沙地优势种的多年生草本植物白草,不仅能在流动沙地灌丛下存活,而且具有较高的密度、高度、盖度和地上生物量。结果还表明,从灌丛中心到灌丛边缘,凋落物产量、土壤种子库密度、草本植物密度、盖度、生物量均存在明显的递减梯度,在灌丛外不远处消失。这些结果说明,在流动沙地,灌丛具有明显的“肥岛”效应和“保种”作用。

北京郊区女性居民一周时空间行为的日间差异研究

伴随城市空间向郊区急剧扩张,郊区已成为快速城市化过程中疏解城市人口和功能的重要空间。作为兼顾工作与家庭的双重工作者,郊区女性居民的日常生活面临着新的挑战。基于2012年北京居民日常活动与交通出行调查的第一手资料,采用时间地理学研究框架,以一周的活动日志数据为基础,从时间节奏和时间分配的角度分析郊区女性的时间利用特征,并通过标准置信椭圆对GPS轨迹数据进行了活动空间刻画,探讨不同活动在城市不同空间中的发生日间差异。结果表明,在时间上,郊区女性的日常生活具有规律性、丰富性和细碎性的特点;工作日的时间分配以工作活动为中心,从周一到周四的差异性不显著;休息日的时间分配以家务和休闲活动为主,并且在休息日内部出现周日出行时间相对较少的差异。在空间上,大部分郊区女性居民选择在郊区附近就业,日常生活中的购物、休闲活动也主要在郊区空间发生;在休息日,购物活动向城区空间内延伸,休闲活动的空间范围虽然相比于工作日有所扩大但仍主要在郊区空间内部完成。     

The Perception and Impact of Natural Hazards on Fishing Communities of Kutubdia Island,Bangladesh

Natural hazards lead to unexpected and often dire situations for people who have few resources and little control over the environment in which they live. Kutubdia, an island in the southeastern part of Bangladesh, experiences frequent natural hazards that impact the livelihoods of its people and put them in vulnerable situations. The research elaborated here is the result of 300 household surveys collected from persons in Kutubdia's fishing communities. The surveys investigated the perception and consequences of natural hazards on the fishing communities. The results indicated that the experience of natural hazards—cyclones, erosion, and flooding are examples—have increased over the years. Coastal erosion displaced seventy‐two (24 percent) fishers, forcing them to relocate their houses several times and imposing multiple challenges on their lives. Literacy was not associated with perceptions of environmental changes or changes in fishing. However, young fishers—less than forty years of age—perceived that environmental changes had affected fish catch more than their older colleagues.     

'Water all around, you cannot even drink': the scaling of water in James Bay/Eeyou Istchee

Since the 1970s, the reconfiguration of the La Grande River into a hydroelectric complex has radically altered the James Bay region and brought about new scales of identification and exchanges between peoples and places. Through this process, water emerged as an increasingly globalized entity while at the same time being captured as a local icon of cultural identification both by the Eeyouch (Eastern James Bay Cree) and the Québécois. Using an historical and discursive approach, this paper explores the intersection between the rescaling of water and the rescaling of the nation for each community. The removal of the river from the traditional places of production of the Eeyouch to redirect it into electricity-generating facilities that put every drop of water to work has dramatically changed the meaning of 'here' and 'there'– as well as 'us' and 'them'– for the Eeyouch and the Québécois, indicating that a theory of the differentiation and hierarchical organization of space needs to inform collaborative efforts toward environmental management in the region.
