历史文化名城文化多样性保护的景观生态学视角——以佛山市为例

历史文化名城负载着丰富的文化物种,对名城的保护是城市发展的重要任务,而文化多样性保护是名城保护的基础.以佛山市为例,用景观生态学视角,从文化景观斑块、文化景观廊道和文化景观基质的角度对名城的文化传承、文化物种和文化生态多样性进行研究.并结合城市文化生态系统的动态性,从文化景观的文化适应、文化传承、文化创新等方面探讨了景观规划和管理的方法和景观模式,这有助于拓展历史文化名城保护研究的视野,并通过名城文化多样性保护的景观格局实现,以达到历史文化名城的可持续发展.     

基于乡村文化景观二元属性的保护模式研究

文化景观是人文地理学的核心概念,近年来,乡村旅游在促进乡村文化景观保护的同时,也使两者矛盾空前地尖锐化。为解决两者矛盾,从地格理论出发,探索适合我国乡村旅游促进文化景观开发与保护的模式体系。基于乡村文化景观具有的二元属性———乡村性和遗产性,提出了3种以乡村旅游促进文化景观保护发展的模式。研究认为:生态博物馆、乡村大舞台和景观嘉年华模式不仅有利于乡村社区和本土文化的结合,而且能够促进乡村旅游发展和文化景观保护。     

名城文化旅游开发的文化生态思考——以梅州市为例

文化旅游是名城旅游开发的核心,名城文化旅游开发中的文化环境问题是普遍存在的问题,以梅州市为例探讨名城文化旅游开发中的文化环境与文化生态.文化环境问题是客家文化旅游开发中存在的主要问题,通过对"客都"的文化内涵及其在环境感应下的客家文化生态特性的分析,提出名城文化生态的旅游开发理念:尊重名城文化生态要求,保护好名城文化生态,以文化生态的旅游开发方式科学展示名城文化.     

广州水文化景观及其意义

位处珠江口河海交汇点城市的广州,其母亲河命名、建筑和布局、方言中采词、龙蛇图腾、南海神和妈祖神崇拜,以及江海社会族群蛋民生产生活等,充分表现了广州城市水文化景观,以及多元、开放、重商、开拓、兼容等广州文化风格.这应作为一种宝贵历史文化资源加以保护、开发和利用,为构建名城广州文化品牌服务.     

梅州客家文化旅游资源的开发构想

旅游文化内涵是旅游开发的灵魂,梅州素有"世界客都"之称,引发了梅州市政府推动客家文化与旅游相结合的思路和政策导向.从3个层面分析了梅州客家文化旅游资源的基本内涵及开发现状,提出梅州市"一都三品"的开发构想及近期开发的切入点和从旅游者不同层次的不同需求来开发客家文化旅游产品.最后提出从点、线、面上整合优势资源,突出梅州客家文化与自然生态相互交融的特色.     

文化景观的内涵及其研究进展

文化景观作为文化地理学的一大研究主题 ,吸引了许多学者的关注。本文从景观和文化景观的内涵出发 ,从文化景观起源和变迁、文化景观感知和解释、文化景观组成、文化景观类型、景观生态、景观保护和规划等六个方面 ,深入探讨了文化景观研究的近今进展。     

基于景观基因“地域机制”的客家文化保护与传承开发——以湖南省炎陵县为例

根据客家文化景观基因理论及其"地域机制",以客家扩展聚居区炎陵县为例,结合历史文献查阅和实地调研,发掘分析该县客家文化的景观基因。研究结果表明:(1)迁徙由来、地域背景分别是客家文化景观的共同基因、本土基因;(2)由共同基因以"反客为主"的作用方式与本土基因形成了地方客家景观本质特性的主体基因;(3)保护与传承意识形态是决定其主体基因能否在世代遵循并坚守着"原汁原味"文化传统和文化精神传承过程中的人为基因。基于这些独特基因构成内在相关联的地域机制而所表达的特征,提出了应加强客家文化景观基因的数字化保护管理、传承开发政策等对策。     

文化景观研究回顾与展望

文化景观已被列为第4种世界遗产类型,虽然文化景观的研究取得了丰硕成果,但景观、文化景观和景观文化的基本概念仍未达成一致,阻碍了文化景观研究的深入。对文化景观的起源与变迁、感知与解释、构成与类型、保护与利用4方面的理论方法进行综述,认为国内外文化景观研究仍处于初步阶段,国内的研究不仅落后于自然景观,而且与国际研究水平有较大差距。建议从文化景观基础研究、方法研究、内容研究、研究氛围和注重对实际问题的解决5方面推动文化景观研究的深入。     

江淮圩堡文化景观旅游开发研究——以肥西县四大圩堡为例

江淮圩堡是由淮军名将营造的具有军事防御功能的民居建筑,具有典型的历史文化价值和地域特色.作为一种文化景观,江淮圩堡有其独特的特征、构成要素和景观结构.论述四大圩堡文化景观的开发现状及其旅游开发存在的主要问题,分析江淮圩堡文化景观旅游开发价值,提出圩堡文化景观旅游开发的建议:注重圩堡资源的保护;利用刘铭传的影响加强与海峡两岸交流基地的结合;探索圩堡旅游开发的独特模式;合理规划圩堡群旅游开发的空间格局.     

中国历史文化名城旅游研究进展

通过对1994年以来相关研究文献的检索统计,从研究学科、研究内容与研究阶段特征等方面对当前中国历史文化名城旅游研究现状进行了回顾;分析表明研究内容集中在名城旅游资源与环境质量评估研究、名城旅行测量与影响研究、名城旅游市场与形象研究、名城保护与旅游开发研究及其他研究等领域,研究方法应定性为主、定量较少;今后应在充分借鉴国外研究成果的基础上,重视基础理论的总结,不断创新研究方法,强化名城旅游利用的研究,名城旅游管理体制与经营机制、游客行为与感知态度及非物质文化旅游是今后研究的重点。

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.
