县域城镇化水平综合测评及其动力构成分析——以河北省为例

构建县域城镇化综合测评指标体系,包含经济城镇化、就业城镇化、市场城镇化、人口和基础设施城镇化.运用熵值法测算了河北省县域城镇化水平,发现2001-2012年县域城镇化水平处在上升状态,主要表现为人口城镇化、基础设施和农村非农就业的改变,但城镇化发展并未提供较多的城镇就业岗位和促进工业企业营利能力的提升.从多年平均看,人口和基础设施子系统对县域城镇化水平贡献份额最大,市场子系统贡献份额最小,各子系统有不同的时段特征.采用多元回归模型分析了影响县域城镇化水平的动力因素,显示推动力呈现多元化特点,各种动力共同助推县域城镇化水平的提高,但动力大小有差异,依次表现为政府动力、市场动力、社会动力.

Identification of geologic contrasts from landscape dissection pattern: An application to the Cascade Range, Oregon, USA

This paper demonstrates the plausibility of inferring the spatial variability of geology from topographically derived landscape dissection patterns. This enables surveying large regions for spatial variability in geology, for which direct remote sensing is not feasible, by studying variability in dissection pattern, a feature extracted straight off from digital elevation model data. Dissection pattern is obtained automatically by a novel algorithm, especially designed to delineate the valleys with high accuracy in order to reflect spatial variability in dissection density. The dissection pattern is encapsulated by a continuous map of drainage density, a raster variable best suited for showing spatial variability of dissection. Such a map, constructed for the study area in the Cascade Range, Oregon, USA, shows a sharp discontinuity in the dissection pattern, indicating change in underlying geology. Possible factors controlling the dissection pattern such as climate, local and regional slopes, vegetation, and geology are examined, and geology has been found to be the dominant controlling factor. The dissection contrast coincides with the boundary between the Western and High Cascades, two geologic provinces with different rock ages and types. The older and less permeable Western Cascades are associated with denser dissection pattern, whereas the younger and more permeable High Cascades correspond to less dissected pattern. This new mapping method can be applied to locations where topography is the only readily available data, and the generated map could be used to extract previously unknown geologic or environmental information.     

基于环境因素约束的农户土地利用效率及影响因素分析 ——以河南省粮食生产核心区为例

在农户土地利用引起的环境问题日益严重的背景下,如果农户土地利用效率的测度只考虑“好”产出,而忽略“非意欲”的环境产出,可能造成测度结果不准确。因此,将“非意欲”产出引入农户土地利用效率评价模型,利用河南省粮食生产核心区农户抽样调查数据测度环境因素约束下的农户土地利用效率,并探讨其效率状况及影响因素。主要的结论如下：① 调查区域环境因素约束下的农户土地利用效率平均值仅为0.612,效率值总体不高,有较大的提升空间。不同规模农户的土地利用效率差异较大,二者呈现“U型”变化趋势。② 环境因素约束下的农户土地利用效率的影响因素来自多个方面。其中,农户生计方式兼业化在一定程度上降低了环境约束下的农户土地利用效率;种植结构调整虽然能够增加农户农业收入,但不利于环境因素约束下的农户土地利用效率的提升;农地经营规模扩大对环境约束下的农户土地利用效率产生正面影响,但现实中普遍存在的小规模化经营和土地细碎化消减了正面影响。土地产权的稳定性能够提升环境约束下的农户土地利用效率,但无论是集体土地产权还是承包经营权以及农户间非正式的土地流转产权关系稳定性较差,不利于环境约束下的农户土地利用效率的提高。     

杭州城区“最具出游力”人群休闲旅游障碍性因素的实证分析

休闲旅游作为一种旅游方式和休闲活动内容越来越受到重视，通过对杭州市“最具出游力”人群调查，运用旅游地理学分析方法发现，影响他们进行休闲旅游的因素最重要的是时间因素、交通因素和学习因素，传统观点中的经济因素地位明显下降；同时分析了不同职业、性别和年龄人员中各因素作用的差异。这种实证性的调查分析方法和结论对于休闲旅游理论和杭州市休闲产业的发展都有一定意义。     

边疆省域旅游效率空间分异及驱动因素——以云南省为例

旅游效率评价对区域旅游业提质增效发展具有重要意义。以云南省为实证,采用数据包络分析法(DEA)对其旅游业效率进行分析,运用空间自相关和趋势面等空间统计方法对旅游效率空间关联和整体趋势特征进行剖析,并借助地理探测器模型着重探讨了旅游效率的驱动因子。结果表明：1）云南省旅游综合效率总体水平较好,但州市间差距较大,纯技术效率对综合效率制约能力略强于规模效率;2）旅游效率呈现空间集聚态势,综合效率整体呈“南北两翼高中间低,东西平稳过渡”空间特征,高效区在滇西北“趋同集聚”;纯技术效率在南北方向呈“U”型趋势,东西方向上梯度递减;规模效率总体呈现“南北两翼高中间低,西高东低”趋势特征;3）旅游从业人数、交通网络密度和景区丰度是云南省旅游效率空间分异的主要影响因素,不同因子交互作用时均高于单独作用时的影响力。     

中国内地客源赴澳门旅游的空间差异及影响因素分析

中国内地已经成长为澳门最大的客源市场。论文依据澳门入境旅游统计数据,并运用计量地理学及因子分析相关方法综合分析中国内地客源赴澳门旅游的空间差异及影响因素。研究结果显示:中国东南沿海省区仍将是澳门的主要客源地,从2011至2016年内地客源赴澳门旅游的空间均衡重心点逐渐向北-向西移动,中国内地客源市场北方省区、中西部省区游客赴澳门旅游的市场潜力不断增大,内地客源赴澳门旅游的空间集聚程度日益离散,经济发展基础及消费能力是影响中国内地客源赴澳门旅游的主要因素。     

Farmland Abandonment Research Progress: Influencing Factors and Simulation Model

Farmland abandonment is a global problem and considered one of the most important areas in land use change research. Farmland abandonment research currently focuses on understanding the factors that affect farmland abandonment and developing scientific models to simulate farmland abandonment. The study reviewed the natural and political factors driving farmland abandonment and summarized the main models for farmland abandonment simulation together with their advantages and disadvantages. We discuss the main ecological effects of farmland abandonment and propose farmland abandonment research directions. The study found that: (1) the influence of labor cost change and ageing labor force on farmland abandonment needs further investigation, (2) simulation models for farmland abandonment must include the decision-making mechanism of individual farmers and focus on macro large-scale abandonment prediction models, and (3) the influence of farmland abandonment on landscape culture must be investigated in detail.     

REGIONAL VARIATIONS IN DENOMINATIONAL SWITCHING AMONG WHITE PROTESTANTS*

This study examines the hypothesis that the determinants of denominational switching vary regionally among white American Protestants. Data for the analysis are taken from the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey for 1974 through 1984. Using logistic regression, the analysis compares the determinants of switching among respondents residing in the nine Census regions of the U.S. Results reveal significant regional differences in the determinants of switching, especially in the effects of conversion, childhood affiliation and interdenominational marriage.
