Utilisation and Management Changes in South Kyrgyzstan＇s Mountain Forests

Using political ecology as its conceptual framework, this paper focuses on the changes in forest utilisation and management of South Kyrgyzstan＇s walnut-fruit forests over the last century The aim of this study on human-environment interactions is to investigate the relationship between actors on the one side, their interests and demands, and the forests and forested lands on the other. Forest resource utilisation and management - and even the recognition of different forest products as resources - are connected with political and socioeconomic conditions that change with time. The walnut-fruit forests of South Kyrgyzstan are unique, characterised by high biodiversity and a multiplicity of usable products; and they have been utilised for a long time. Centralised and formal management of the forests started with the Russian occupation and was strengthened under Soviet rule, when the region became a part of the USSR. During this era, a state forest administration that was structured from Moscow all the way down to the local level drew up detailed plans and developed procedures for utilising the different forest products. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the socio-political and economic frame conditions have changed significantly, which has brought not only the sweeping changes in the managing institutions, but also the access rights and interests in the forest resources. At present, the region is suffering from a high unemployment rate, which has resulted in the forests＇ gaining considerable importance in the livelihood strategies of the local population. Political and economic liberalization, increased communication and transregional exchange relations have opened the door for international companies and agents interested in the valuable forest products. Today, walnut wood and burls, walnuts, wild apples and mushrooms are all exported to various countries in the world. Scientists and members of various international organisations stress the ecological value of the forests and are trying to establish nature conservation areas. Nevertheless, it is to fear that a multiplicity of interrelated factors - the present transformation and globalization processes, the appearance of new actors, the local population＇s insecure economic situation and the erosion of managing institutions - are all leading to an intensified and unregulated exploitation of the forests, resulting in their degradation.     

煤矿沉陷区废弃地的再生利用之探索

土地是人类赖以生存的基础，是工业生产活动最基本的生产要素之一。十分珍惜、合理利用每一寸土地是我国的基本国策，也是人类应尽的义务，浪费每一寸土地都是在犯罪。当前，土地资源的开发、保护、管理已纳入各级政府的重要日程，对土地资源的合理利用已成为社会广泛关注的焦点。就煤炭工业城市而言，采煤后沉陷区内废弃和闲置的土地如何进行再生利用，如何变废为宝，造福子孙，成为我们不容忽视的重大课题。解决好这一难题，既是促进地方经济发展的迫切需要，又是建设资源节约和环境友好型社会的必然要求。

“宁波帮精神”与海洋文化情结

“宁波帮”是我国十大商帮之一，作为商帮，百年经久不衰，很有些值得探讨，究其原因是“宁波帮”从小受到独特的宁波城市文化熏陶。宁波城市文化是把中国传统的儒家文化和宁波海洋文化有机地结合起来。正是这种独特的宁波城市文化，才哺育出“宁波帮精神”。
