区域产业布局优化及理论依据分析

目前关于产业布局的理论多强调其经济效益,在一定程度上忽视了环境效益和社会效益。从经济、社会与环境协调发展的角度对产业布局优化的内涵进行阐释,并论述实现区域产业布局优化的经济学、环境学及生态学理论依据。     

旅游供给的二维组合态势与创新开发模式--我国西部12省(区)案例

以省（区）为单元进行西部旅游资源丰度与区位度组合研究.以2002年和2003年西部12省（区）A级以上景区（点）为样本,计算旅游供给丰度与区位度及其排序.结合聚类与位序分析,发现其呈现出两种类型：低区位、低丰度类型和高区位、高丰度类型.基于二维组合,给出对应的旅游创新开发模式与转化策略.得出如下结论：1）通过对旅游资源丰度和区位的定量分析,可理性地提出准确的开发思路;2）西部旅游资源创新开发必须进行旅游生产力布局与建设.     

EXTERNAL CONTROL OF NONMETROPOLITAN INDUSTRY IN KENTUCKY

The organizational separation of management and other quaternary activities from production operations in American manufacturing has resulted in a divergent pattern of production and headquarter locations. We examine the external control relationships that arise from this separation between headquarter location and branch plant operations in nonmetropolitan Kentucky. Although corporate headquarters have diffused to the Sunbelt, no shift was found in the corporate control of branch plants in Kentucky. Nonmetropolitan manufacturing in Kentucky was oriented toward the metropolitan centers of the traditional manufacturing belt rather than the newer corporate centers of the South. Also control relationships are more likely to be local among smaller factories. Large plants having more autonomy in production or producing finished goods were more likely to be owned by a distant firm located in a large SMSA.     

改革开放以来广州办公活动的时空差异分析

选择广州作为研究对象,在分析办公活动增长趋势的基础上,对广州办公活动空间分布格局的变化特征进行了讨论。结果表明,改革开放以来办公活动整体集聚程度有所下降,但市中心的就业密度集聚上升,就业密度增长速度在空间上不连续。广州市办公活动空间分布呈现出与西方国家大都市办公活动空间分布不同的特征。进一步分析表明,政策是形成广州办公活动空间分布格局的关键因素,西方区位理论在目前阶段还不完全适用于中国的情况。     

On Methods of Teaching Geography

This study investigates the location and varying spatiality of questions in geography textbooks. The results show that study questions posed in page margins address the three components of spatial thinking—concepts of space, using tools of representation, and processes of reasoning—more than questions in other locations within the text. Three practices are particularly recommended to help students develop spatial thinking skills through answering textbook questions: (1) utilize page-margin questions; (2) select questions around spatial representations; and (3) focus on higher-level cognitive processes.     

The Myth of Location Privacy in the United States: Surveyed Attitude Versus Current Practices

In the United States, legal steps have been taken to protect personal privacy, which is viewed as an individual's fundamental right. Location privacy (i.e., protection of personal and location information), however, has not received equal attention in the legal system. Given the recent popularity of location-based services (e.g., cell phones), it is possible to obtain an individual's location information easily and precisely. An investigation of public perception of privacy in the United States indicated that survey responders (1) were unaware of legal implications of location privacy violation and (2) believed that there should be location privacy protection similar to that provided by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.     

中国民营企业对外直接投资区位选择研究--以温州民营企业为例

自上世纪90年代后半期开始,世界经济呈现一体化整合的态势,全球和中国对外直接投资的规模不断扩大,温州民营企业对外直接投资也快速发展,被商务部称为“走出去”的“温州模式”。本文基于全球生产网络理论,建立了民营企业对外直接投资区位选择的优势拓展因素、制度利用因素和优势寻求因素的分析框架。通过温州民营企业对外直接投资区位选择的实证分析结果来看,优势拓展因素仍起到重要作用,优势寻求型的技术创新资源、市场营销渠道、市场信息资源是区位选择新的重要因素,但制度因素的作用也不可忽视。
