The GIS and analysis of earthquake damage distribution of the 1303 Hongtong M=8 earthquake

Introduction The 1303 Hongtong earthquake is an important earthquake in the eastern China. There is a lot of information in historical documents about the earthquake and many traces destroyed by the earthquake in the southern Shanxi Province. Many scholars have studied the earthquake from dif-ferent aspects, but mainly limited the definitions of the isoseismal and three factors of the earth-quake. Owing to being limited by the analysis technique, many useful damage information of the earthqu…     

自然的社会建构：西方人文地理学对自然的再认识

自然的社会建构作为西方人文地理学界对自然的再思考,渐成为理解自然与社会互动的重要理论框架,并逐步成为推动人地和谐、可持续发展研究的新范式。通过梳理自然的社会建构研究理论源起并对西方涉及自然的社会建构的研究文献进行全面梳理发现,自然的社会建构并非单纯指基于建构主义视角考察自然的知识生产或价值与意义,还应该关注自然被生产与形构的商品化过程。现有议题主要聚焦于政治与自然、商品化与自然、社会情感与自然以及日常生活与自然四大方面。在此基础上,进一步提出了国内未来研究需要关注的重要方向。

America is embroiled in a culture war. National education standards have exacerbated the conflict. Supporters justify standards by adopting the rhetoric of globalization and national labor force preparedness. Opponents claim that standards threaten local control over value inculcation and social reproduction. This paper examines the “politics of scale” to hypothesize that conservatives have solicited Congressional support for local school choice and school prayer to subvert national education standards. Results from a multivariate analysis confirm that a significant link exists between Congressional opposition to education standards and support for school prayer and school choice.

农村居民点整理分区与模式研究——以山东省日照市为例

农村居民点整理是新农村建设的重要内容,对统筹城乡一体化发展具有重要意义。进行农村居民点整理分区与模式研究,对有序推进农村居民点整理具有重要现实意义。以山东省日照市为例,选择自然条件、用地特征和整理能力等指标,构建农村居民点整理分区指标体系,进行综合评价。结合人均居民点用地和综合评价值,进行农村居民点整理分区。同时,结合日照市农村居民点整理实践,提出农村居民点整理模式。     

Rural diversification in the Baltic countryside: a local perspective

Today “rural diversification” is high on the agenda in rural development. This article analyses rural diversification under conditions of post-socialist economic transition using case areas in Latvia and Estonia. The study shows that transition from centrally planned economy to market economy has had an enormous impact in the rural areas. Agricultural production and employment has decreased dramatically and rural unemployment is high. The conditions for rural diversification the first years after independence depended a lot on the local presence of non-farm activities before the split up of collective farming, in both production facilities but also in the skills and relations people had. Since independence, markets for traditional rural services and products have decreased. The extent to which local businesses find markets outside the local area and people have been able to integrate into the new labour market of service and construction jobs often in urban areas are essential for the diversification of the rural economy. Most rural inhabitants only have skills in large-scale agriculture and limited contacts to outside the local area which makes exploiting new opportunities difficult. The local capacity for withholding, developing and inducing new activities is weak. The challenge for rural development policy is to extend the possibilities of the rural inhabitants to exploit new opportunities.     

我国综合自然地理学的建立与理论拓展

回顾和评述了中国综合自然地理学的建立和发展过程。中国综合自然地理学经过几代地理学者的不断实践和理论概括,逐渐形成和蓬勃发展起来。相对于国外研究,中国综合自然地理在土地系统分级、结构、演变、系列制图、综合自然区划、自然地带划分、自下而上组合自然小区等方面有长足的进步与拓展。今后,现代综合自然地理学应在自然地域系统方面,把自然、人文、生态经济等各个要素进行系统综合,开展综合地理区划研究,进一步提高区划的理论性和实践性;在土地系统方面,把尺度、结构、过程结合起来,开展土地结构与演变研究,加强土地利用/土地覆被特点、驱动力和生态效应研究;在自然地理过程方面,把物理、化学、生物过程综合到土壤—植被—大气连续系统界面研究上来。     

Rural food accessibility: An analysis of travel impedance and the risk of potential grocery closures

This paper examines the potential spatial impact of grocery store closures and their impact on the food accessibility of the population of one rural county in Southern Illinois. Additionally, we offer public health officials a simple method for locating populations at particular risk of food inaccessibility in the event of a grocery store closure. A model is introduced for weighting different types of food outlets based on the types of food products offered to potential customers. By using a weighted system for measuring different types of food outlets, individual addresses, and a novel method of visualizing food access, we find an improved means of locating areas of risk in a fluid food-access landscape.
