多民族聚集地区的乡村聚落时空演变特征研究——以云南宾川为例

运用遥感技术提取居民点数据,以人口数量比重划分汉族、白族、彝族和傈僳族聚落,采用景观格局指数、最邻近分析、核密度分析等定量化方法分析聚落斑块、空间形态、空间分布和不同尺度的变化等方面特征,并提出多民族聚集地区乡村振兴策略。结果表明:各聚落斑块特征、等级存在明显差异性和分层现象;各聚落空间形态呈现集聚型特征,但集聚方向存在差异性;各聚落主要以点状、线状和带状分布;各聚落在高程、坡度、道路和水域等尺度变化量不同;在各聚落时空演变特征的基础上,结合多民族聚集区地域性特点,提出"三态融合"的乡村振兴策略。     

欠发达地区聚落景观空间分布特征及其影响因子分析——以安徽省宿州地区为例

以欠发达地区——皖北宿州地区的聚落为研究对象,采用景观格局分析软件FRAGSTATS计算了5个景观格局指标。用ArcGIS软件计算了形状指数、景观类型空间邻接比例、最邻近指数、最近距离以及聚落的耕作半径,分析了该区聚落景观的空间格局特征及影响因子。结果表明:耕地是宿州地区的景观基质,聚落是宿州地区分布最广、斑块数目最多的景观类型;耕地是影响农村聚落分布格局的重要因子;农村聚落分布受中心城镇影响明显;用缓冲区的方法求取耕作半径在耕地分布均匀地区较为实用。

基于集聚与生态价值组合特征的乡村聚落重构——-以福州山区为例

明确乡村聚落重构模式与方向是统筹城乡协调发展、促进区域乡村振兴的重要环节。本文基于福州山区2015年遥感影像解译数据,划分“三生空间”用地类型,提取乡村聚落斑块,运用核密度估计、生态系统服务价值评价等方法分析其乡村聚落空间分布特征,构建基于集聚与生态价值组合特征的乡村聚落重构方向识别方法和差异化重构思路。结果表明:(1)福州山区乡村聚落空间分布以高生态中密度组合特征区为主,面积216.39 km2,占研究区总面积的29.53%,多集中于乡镇中心、道路和河流沿线,整体集聚与生态价值适中,但西南部乡村聚落生态建设有待加强;(2)运用成本加权距离测算中心区乡村聚落可达性等级,以此作为边界参考,结合集聚与生态价值组合特征,将研究区划分为A^J共10个不同特征的重构范围区;(3)依据各重构范围区表征出不同的集聚与生态价值组合特征,提出了城镇集聚型、中心村建设型、内部协调型和生态保护型等4种乡村聚落重构模式与空间重构方向,并探讨了差异化重构思路。研究结果为福州山区乡村聚落转型发展及城乡融合提供了科学依据和理论基础。     

陇中黄土丘陵区乡村聚落的空间格局——以甘肃省通渭县为例

基于2008年SPOT-5遥感影像解译得出的乡村聚落矢量数据,采用密度图、热点识别、数据探测与空间统计相结合的方法,深入分析了通渭县2008年乡村聚落的密度特征和空间分布模式.结果表明:通渭县乡村聚落斑块点集呈“南疏北密、东疏西密、距县城距离近的密”的空间分布格局,空间差异显著.东北部为乡村聚落斑块密集核心区,并以此为中心向外呈阶梯状递减趋势.乡村聚落斑块密度与海拔、人口分布具有一定的相关性,但也存在高海拔区人口密度虽小、但乡村聚落斑块密度却较高,低海拔区人口密度大、但乡村聚落斑块密度却较低的特殊现象.此外,基于热点识别、半变异函数、Voronoi地图和最近邻距离的分析,得出通渭县乡村聚落分布模式呈聚集-随机的分布模式.总体来看,通渭县乡村聚落的空间格局具有明显的空间依赖性.     

宁波四明山区农村聚落空间格局及影响因素

在国家乡村振兴战略下,理解农村聚落格局和影响因素对合理利用土地资源,促进城乡协调发展具有重要意义。基于此,以宁波四明山区为例,综合运用景观格局指数、核密度分析、Voronoi图的变异系数及GIS空间分析等方法,定量分析了农村聚落的空间分布特点及影响因素。研究结果表明:宁波四明山区农村聚落呈现明显的空间分异特征,在空间上呈现北部和东部集聚,主要受海拔、坡度、河流、道路、耕地等因素影响沿线错落分布。以梨洲街道、陆埠镇、河姆渡镇、横街镇为主是高密度区,向西部和南部依次为以溪口镇、四明山镇为主的低密度区。该研究可为宁波四明山区农村聚落的土地整理及规划提供新依据,也能为生态功能区建设提供借鉴意义。     

青藏高原高寒牧区聚落时空演化及驱动机制——以藏北那曲县为例

以青藏高原北部牧区那曲县为研究对象,基于多时相高清遥感影像精确提取的2005、2010和2017年3期聚落斑块数据,综合运用GIS分析技术定量测度了那曲县聚落演化的总体特征和空间指向特性,并进一步探讨了聚落格局及演化的驱动机制。结果表明：① 2005~2017年,那曲县聚落规模和密度均呈增大态势,由数量增长型扩张转变为规模增大型扩张;聚落形态演变表现出阶段性差异,由空间无序向规整有序转变;聚落以小型为主,面积小于1 hm ²的斑块数占比高达69%,在时间演化上小聚落向大、中型聚落晋级趋势明显;聚落规模空间相关性显著,大斑块集聚区以县城所在地为中心沿青藏公路向西南方向延伸,小斑块集聚区长期围绕那曲镇外围呈“环形”分布。②特殊的自然本底塑造了那曲县聚落低山缓坡趋向和亲水近路特征,受生存环境和生计方式影响,聚落布局呈现避灾特性,聚落演化的优质草场指向性明显,随着高原乡镇经济职能的日益强化,聚落演化逐渐呈现出与内陆城镇化地区类似的乡镇中心地指向。③高海拔、破碎地貌、自然灾害多发易发、草场禀赋差异及水系纵横等自然环境因素塑造了那曲县聚落大范围小规模沿河谷阶地零散分布的基本格局,而政策、市场化与人口增长、区位条件、管理制度及文化观念等社会人文因素是推动聚落演化的主要动力。

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.
