THE ARTIST AS GEOGRAPHER: RICHARD LONG'S EARTH ART

The sculptor Richard Long practices a variety of art based largely on taking walks around the countryside. He documents his expeditions by making his route on a map, taking a representative photograph, or making a word “poster.”Assemblages of rocks or other materials are exhibited in galleries. His work shows a subtle understanding of esthetic aspects of the landscape in developing an artistic sense of “place”from which geographers may learn much about perception.     

无界性的历史生态——也谈文艺学的边界危机

文艺学作为一个学科，从理论初建之始，就存在对象不一、范围不定的问题。文艺学研究的是人的一切，西方的诗学传统和中国的“诗之为学”理论发展都证明了这一点。这种历史生态说明．无界性是文艺学本身的一个特性。当前中国文艺界需要的是反省而不是纷争。     

Using Paintings for Problem-solving and Teaching Physical Geography: Examples from a Course in Coastal Management

Abstract

Use of paintings in undergraduate courses is discussed to show their value in interpreting landscapes from the viewpoint of the physical sciences. Issues of realism and ways to distinguish evocative value from information value are evaluated. Paintings are used to (1) enliven lecture material, (2) test student knowledge and preconceptions, and (3) form the basis of term projects. Paintings reveal historic uses of coastal resources and changing cultural preferences and human values, and they reveal alterations that are of such small scale or local significance that they would be difficult to find in narrative accounts. Student projects evaluate landscape alterations revealed in works by the same artist or the artist's contemporaries or trace differences in alterations through time.     

国际城市地下空间开发利用现状、趋势与启示

城市地下空间开发是缓解“城市病”、实现城市可持续发展的重要举措。欧美等发达国家和地区已经积累了丰富的城市地下空间开发的经验和教训。通过调研国际上一些主要城市的地下空间开发利用状况,剖析了当前国际城市地下空间开发的现状、问题及发展趋势,以指导我国城市地下空间开发。目前,国际城市地下空间开发形成了以缓解城市交通拥堵、扩大城市生存空间、建立集约型城市、构建舒适宜居城市环境为导向的开发模式,并以建设绿色、智慧的立体化城市为未来的发展趋势。我国应在充分吸收和学习国际上城市地下空间开发的经验和教训基础上,结合自身城市特点,高质量开发城市地下空间。     

Applying VGI to collaborative research in the humanities: the case of ARTL@S

ABSTRACT

Using Artl@s as an example of a project that relies on volunteered geographic information (VGI), this article examines the specific challenges that exist, beyond those frequently discussed in general VGI systems (e.g., participants’ motivation and data quality control) in regard to sharing research data in humanities: (1) most data from the humanities is qualitative and collected from multiple data sources which are often inconsistent and unmappable; (2) data is usually interconnected with multiple relationships among different tables which creates challenges for both mapping and query functionality; (3) data is both geographical and historical. Consequently addresses that no longer exist have to be geolocated and visualized on historical basemaps and spaces must be represented diachronically; (4) the design of web map application needs to balance both sophisticated research requirements and a user-friendly interface; (5) finally contributors expect their data to be cited or acknowledged when used in other studies and users need metadata and citation information in order to reuse and repurpose datasets.

In this article, we discuss how Artl@s, a project which developed a georeferenced historical database of exhibition catalogues, addresses these challenges. Artl@s provides a case study for VGI adoption by digital humanities scholars for research data sharing, as it offers features, such as flexible batch data contribution, interrelated spatial query, automatic geolocalization of historical addresses, and data citation mechanisms.     

地质和岩土工程光电传感监测研究新进展——第六届OSMG国际论坛综述

第六届地质(岩土)工程光电传感监测国际论坛于2017年11月3~5日在南京大学顺利召开。本届论坛主题为"基础设施监测技术前沿及应用",共设置了35场特邀报告,来自近20个国家和地区的350余位代表参会。本届论坛显示,近几年来国内外地质和岩土工程光电传感监测领域的研究工作又取得了很多新进展:(1)光电感测解调技术不断成熟和完善,监测信噪比、空间分辨率等指标也突飞猛进;(2)国际上出现了一系列适用于地质与岩土工程监测的新型光电传感器,如聚合物光纤土工织物等;(3)光电传感器及其监测系统成为保障隧道、堤坝、核电站、桥梁等基础设施安全运营的有力工具,为这些设施的健康状态诊断和损伤识别提供了数据支撑;(4)光电传感监测技术在地质灾害监测预警中扮演了越来越重要的角色。未来的研究热点主要集中于3个方面:(1)高性价比的分布式光纤传感解调技术的研发;(2)匹配地质和岩土工程监测需求的新型光纤传感器及其布设工艺的研发;(3)基于人工智能的监测数据处理和灾害预警系统的开发。     

Estimation on Aesthetic Value of Tourist Landscapes in a Natural Heritage Site： Kanas National Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China

Most world natural heritage sites are designated partly by reason of their prominent aesthetic values in accordance with Article Ⅶ of World Natural Heritage Convention.In this paper, the aesthetic values of Kanas National Nature Reserve, which has potential for such designation, was analyzed quantitatively using scenic beauty estimation(SBE).The landscapes of 19 representative scenic spots in the Kanas National Nature Reserve in summer and autumn were selected as the objects of evaluation.The contributions of different landscape factors to the aesthetic value of the Kanas National Nature Reserve were revealed using a multivariate quantitative model.The main factors affecting the aesthetic value were waterscapes, vegetation, mountains, folk culture and the tourist environment.The t-test and F-test results are extremely significant.According to the results, some suggestions were given for conserving the landscapes in the Kanas National Nature Reserve.

风景旅游城市地名变更现象透析

近年来,在旅游业的蓬勃发展中,旅游城市的更名是一种值得关注的现象。文章从地名学、心理学、历史学、文化学等不同角度出发,对这种看仅时尚实则混乱的现象进行剖析,认为旅游城市的更名要兼顾历史与现实,不能盲目地更名,否则全顾此失彼,以至产生认识、实用及管理方面的混乱。
