中国第21次南极考察雪龙船实时航迹图

采用新编《系列世界地图》成果,与GIS和计算机网络技术相结合,于2004年11月首次实现了我国南极考察雪龙船航迹的实时跟踪服务,并由“中国南北极信息网”向全社会实时发布。“实时航迹图”使我国南极考察与社会公众的沟通能力得到提高,并为进一步建立“中国历次极地考察航线显示系统”做好了技术准备。     

气象服务发展框架、方向与青年人的参与——基于WMO气象服务相关战略及计划的分析与思考

本文以综合分析世界气象组织(World Meteorological Organization,WMO)气象服务发展战略的实施、相关计划活动的组织以及有关国家气象部门的成功示范为基础,结合近一段时间参与未来气象服务战略的制定与推动工作的实践,从五个方面阐述了其发展方向、主要内涵与重点。其中包括:(1)关于WMO气象服务战略及实施的思路;(2)强化与促进在政府应急管理(ERA)和防灾减灾(DRR),构建社会抗灾能力(Resilience)中作用的发挥;(3)鼓励与推动建设气候服务用户交互平台(UIP)与综合天气、气候、水和环境相关服务系统的实践;(4)鼓励与指导以无缝隙业务技术[各种专业领域如海洋气象、各类预报预测技术(次季节-季节预测技术)等]为支撑的新型服务业务的发展;(5)鼓励与推动构建智慧(Smart)型公共服务体系的建设。重点论述如何充分应用现代信息网络与通信技术,建立智能化信息平台,通过气象信息提供方式的变化,增强信息提供的技术含量及提供的个性化与互动能力;发挥社会资源及媒体在气象服务中的重要作用与积极作用;体现"以人为本",关注健康、关注环境、关注出行、关注安全等的理念,实现气象服务社会价值,体现气象服务群体的社会责任等内容。与此同时,本文还从青年人的担当与责任的角度,阐述了(1)青年人的社会责任,勇当服务先进文化的践行者;(2)努力学习,积极创新,做好应用气象的技术准备与技能储备,发挥好新型服务的主力军作用;(3)勇于创业,在未来政府气象管理、社会化、市场化气象服务中建功立业;阐明了对如何发挥青年人在新型气象服务社会架构中的作用的意见。     

Conflict in Common: Heritage-making in Cape York

The outstanding natural and cultural values of Cape York have been acknowledged for decades, but those decades have been characterised by deep conflict. Non-government organisation intervention in local politics has seen a forceful push for nominating some or all of the Cape York Peninsula as a World Heritage Site. We illuminate the authorised heritage discourse at work in heritage-making, and highlight contested issues of ownership, governance, authenticity, and value. These themes contribute to the possibility of marginalising the voices of local people who wish to contribute to heritage-making in Cape York. Politics infuses all aspects of heritage-making in Cape York, and the specific experiences on Cape York reflect larger political processes occurring in World Heritage discourse. The paper draws on interviews undertaken in May and June 2012.     

Braiding process and bank erosion in the Brahmaputra River

The present work explores relations between stream power,braiding intensities and bank erosion in certain stretches of the Brahmaputra River.In this paper,an objective approach is presented to enable quantitative assessment of spatio-temporal behaviour of channel braiding process of the Brahmaputra River by using the Plan Form Index and corresponding estimation of stream power to establish a behavioural pattern of variability of potential energy expenditure.The braiding index is compared for discrete years to understand the morphological behaviour.Subsequently,a real time estimation of stream power for certain stretches of Brahmaputra River is done in order to analyse its variability in braiding intensity and bank erosion.The paper presents the dynamic behaviour of the channel pattern of the Brahmaputra River System in Assam valley of India over a time span of 18 years.The procedure addresses the selection of input parameters from digital satellite images,comprising scenes for the years 1990,1997 and 2007 with specific dates,from Dhubri near Indo-Bangladesh Border to Upper Assam.Deployment of GIS technique has been made to extract the required parameters to derive Plan Form Indices for the entire study reach.Stream power estimation is done for corresponding latest floods and for corresponding dates of image scenes.The study indicated that due to consistent aggradation of riverbed inducing temporal declination of stream power,there is an occurrence of wide spread braiding.This in turn incurs substantial yearly land loss due to bank erosion,caused by flow concentrations due to temporal evolution of multiple channels in the Brahmaputra River.     

Graduated incarceration: The Israeli occupation in subaltern geopolitical perspective

This paper highlights the importance of analysis of the microgeographies of occupation, and the spatially-differentiated means that the Israeli Occupation Forces use to maintain the occupation and create spaces of graduated incarceration for Palestinians. Using the examples of the hinterlands of Qalqiliyah and the old city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) in the occupied West Bank, this paper exposes the microgeographical differentiation the occupation mobilizes in its attempt to enact a panoptic sovereignty over the population, in the process of dispossession. This study challenges geopolitical formations of the state as primary actor, and focuses instead on narratives of Palestinians describing their own experiences of occupation by a hostile state. By relying on popular media, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation, this paper seeks to incorporate a Palestinian vision of life under occupation to challenge traditional geopolitical visions of the Palestinian Israeli conflict, in effect creating a subaltern geopolitical narrative.     

基于绿色管理的世界遗产地旅游管理模式研究

近年来,世界各地对世界遗产地旅游资源的开发步伐不断加快,随之而来的出现了很多问题,而其中如何持续有效的经营与管理世界遗产资源已成为亟待解决的首要问题。在对有关世界遗产地管理模式文献梳理的基础上,分析了中国现有世界遗产地管理模式以及存在的一些问题。针对这些存在的问题,笔者以绿色管理为基础对世界遗产地旅游管理模式进行了重构,并且列举了绿色管理在世界遗产地旅游管理模式中的作用,进而凸显绿色管理在世界遗产地管理中的重要性。

上海世博会对周边城市旅游辐射效应研究

为了研究上海世博会对上海周边城市的旅游辐射效应以及对该地区旅游经济产生的影响,引入旅游辐射场强模型、旅游断裂点、旅游集中系数进行量化分析,结果表明:1)世博会使上海对周边城市的旅游辐射效应明显增强;2)世博会对周边城市的旅游辐射效应分布并不均匀,不同城市之间存在较大差异;3)上海在对周边城市的旅游辐射中占优势地位,世博会的举办使这种优势得以加强;4)世博会使上海及其周边地区的旅游经济趋于集中发展。
