四川省内江市东兴区地质灾害的特征、成因及防治对策

东兴区地质灾害发育广泛,以崩塌(危岩)、滑坡和不稳定斜坡(高陡边坡)为主.其宏观发育特征有明显的分区性和季节性;灾害规模不大,但是影响人群较多,危害较大.崩塌(危岩)分布最为广泛,其主要受控因素是为水平状砂泥岩互层的差异性风化;滑坡和不稳定斜坡(高陡边坡)分布较少,降雨入渗和人工开挖坡脚是造成灾害的直接原因.在查明地质灾害成因机制和影响因素后,对不同类型地质灾害采取人工清除、填沟摸缝、砌支撑柱(墙)、避让搬迁等有针对性的措施,以达到切实可行而且经济的目的.     

重庆市乡村义务教育资源可得性差异及影响因素

以国家统筹城乡教育发展试验区的重庆市乡村地区为例,采用Densi-Graph城乡识别法进行行政区划内部格网尺度的精准识别,在此基础上探究义务教育资源可得性水平的空间差异及影响因素。结果表明：1)基于Densi-Graph城乡识别法的重庆市城乡差异显著,乡村区域面积达79 752 km²,占区域总面积的96.82%。城市部分面积为2 616 km²,占区域总面积的3.18%。2)重庆市义务教育资源可得性水平具有显著的空间集聚与关联特征,并呈现由中心城区向外递减的格局。3)政府重视程度、社会经济发展水平、交通设施水平、自然地理环境均与义务教育资源可得性水平具有显著相关性。4)交通站点密度与教育投入是影响义务教育资源可得性水平的主导因子,二者与各项因子的交互叠加作用增强效果显著;影响机制上,地形起伏度与坡度是乡村义务教育资源可得性水平的限制条件,社会经济是基础,交通是关键,教育投入是核心。     

Holiday in Cambodia: Perceived effects of a New Zealand high school international field trip on students

Using an exploratory case study approach, this research used semi‐structured interviews to investigate the motivations, expectations and experiences of high school students in New Zealand who travelled to Cambodia on a school supervised field‐trip. Findings suggest students are motivated by altruistic behaviour and the desire for unique experiences. Students had very high expectations, predicting the experience to be either life changing or incredibly important. Post‐trip interviews revealed that the volunteer work undertaken was perceived as positive and that experiences of poverty were challenging and influential. Finally, personal development and an increased sense of social responsibility were identified as important effects of the trip.     

Geography Deserts: State and Regional Variation in the Formal Opportunity to Learn Geography in the United States, 2005–2015

The formal opportunity to learn geography in the United States is unevenly distributed across space, creating possible geography deserts. Data on the number of exams taken in Advanced Placement Human Geography (APHG) and bachelor’s degrees earned in geography are mapped at the state and regional scales. Normalized rates are ranked and grouped into quintiles. For APHG exams, states in the southeastern region of the United States are in the uppermost quintiles while states in the northeastern region are in the lowermost quintiles. The pattern for bachelor’s degrees in geography is somewhat the spatial inverse of that for APHG.     

Fostering Environmental Sensitivity by Observing Everyday Environments

This study examined the effects of observing and reflecting on everyday environments in the development of environmental sensitivity, defined as a holistic capability composed of predisposition, knowledge, and behavior subdimensions. We encouraged participants to use diverse sources, such as texts, photographs, and animation, to record their observations and thinking. As a result, the activity in this study was beneficial in enhancing students’ environmental sensitivity. Students’ mean scores on the environmental sensitivity questionnaire improved, and their reflective journals reported increased interest in everyday environments, enhanced knowledge about diverse environmental elements, and strengthened will to act pro-environmentally. The usefulness of the geospatial platform was also reported.     

褚绍唐先生的学术思想与贡献

褚绍唐先生是中国著名的地理教育家,历史地理学家,华东师范大学地理系教授。褚先生的地理教育思想构建起了中国中小学地理教育教学与研究的基本框架,先生组织发起的地理教育学术组织和创办的学术期刊仍发挥着巨大作用,先生编写的中小学地理教学大纲和教材惠及数代人。褚先生对上海历史地理的研究颇有建树,对上海的城市发展过程、成陆过程,水系变化等有独特见解。褚先生对《徐霞客游记》的整理和校点工作具有划时代意义,同时,先生也是徐霞客研究领域的大师。此外,褚先生还在城市地理学、地图学、地理文献翻译等领域做出了贡献。     

我国海洋保护地现状、问题及发展对策

随着我国海洋经济的不断发展,沿海地区的海洋环境和生态系统面临的压力不断加剧。海洋保护地作为海洋生态环境管理的有效手段,近30年来被广泛应用于海洋生物多样性和生态系统保护,取得了显著的成就和效果。文章通过对我国海洋保护地的建设情况进行系统研究,阐述了海洋保护地的发展现状和管理体制,重点剖析了海洋保护地管理和建设过程中面临的缺乏顶层设计、管理能力和管护条件弱、管理人才和资金少、空间发展不平衡等问题,在建设以国家公园为主体的自然保护地体系的新形势下,为我国海洋保护地的发展提出了健全海洋保护地管理制度体系、构建海洋保护地网络体系、加强海洋保护地管理能力建设和加强海洋保护地宣传教育等对策建议。     

中国GIS产业发展问题与对策研究

虽然中国GIS产业比十多年前有了显著的进步,但是问题依然很多,集中表现为:GIS产业规模小、应用广度和深度不够;GIS产业服务体系不健全;GIS教育不能适应产业发展的需要;GIS标准化工作滞后。中国GIS产业的发展壮大,不仅需要地理信息技术的进步,GIS软件产品的创新,而且要建立相应的产业服务体系,加快GIS新型人才的培养。中国GIS产业发展过程中的一系列问题是环环相扣的,我们不应该就事论事、画地为牢,而是要“大处着眼、小处着手”,加强当前比较薄弱的产业环节。随着国家信息化进程的推进,特别是电子政务建设的兴起,中国GIS产业面临许多新的机遇。正视目前存在的问题,及时采取适宜的对策,中国GIS产业必将蓬勃发展。     

天文教育I: 万有引力与天体物理

分别从物理学和天文学角度引申出天体物理学科, 特别关注万有引力在其中扮演的关键角色. 无论在综合性大学亦或理工科院校, 天文教育均有益于提高学生的科学和人文素养, 而天体物理则是天文学的主要内涵. 介绍了作者讲授``天体物理''课程的相关信息以及个人认识. 最后, 以大气簇射mu子产生、啾质量、宇宙加速膨胀等教学案例结束, 侧面诠释了作者的``天体物理''教育理念.     

Sourcing Thai geography literature for ASEAN and international education

This study surveys the available English-language literature and learning resources covering the field of Thai geography, and provides historical review of Thai geography education and an inventory of relevant, accessible materials for ASEAN and international undergraduate students, educators and researchers. We note that the discipline and context of Thai geography has shifted toward new technologies, particularly geographic information systems, and this has left a void in practical and accessible text for high school and undergraduate students in gaining broad and traditional knowledge of the field. Our study finds that the accessibility of introductory English-language texts on Thai geography is limited, and that existing texts appear mainly in the grey literature or widely dispersed across various disciplines of study. The paper provides a platform to help future researchers and to facilitate future production of English-language textbooks and other study materials in the field of Thai geography.
