Cultural policy and place promotion: Swansea and Dylan Thomas

As former industrial cities have experienced radical changes to the bases of their economies, the imperatives of finding new roles and functions has often led to the adoption of cultural policies. These are diverse and partial but have become part of place promotion policies designed to attract visitors and investors. The connection with a literary figure offers one exploitable quality and this paper explores the adoption of Dylan Thomas, poet and writer, as an icon for Swansea. What emerges is the existence of a diversity of interested individuals and groups, who start from different positions but work towards a common goal. The tensions about the life and works of the poet, evident over the 50 years since his death are still there but the key players, including the City and County of Swansea, are finding ways of reconciling their differences in the ‘production’ of Dylan Thomas. This use of a writer and his local connections forms part of the more general process of making a cultural policy for the city.     

Testing spatial patterns and growth spillover effects in clusters of cities

 This paper analyzes the spatial patterns of households' distribution in clusters of cities and the effects on regional growth using spatial exploratory techniques and a model of growth that incorporates spatial location. Our empirical analysis shows that, over the 1980–1990 period, in Southern New England, patterns of spatial clustering of households did create heterogeneous growth rates in the region. Also, there is evidence that clusters of cities and isolated cities created spillover growth effects in bordering towns. Received: 5 September 2001 / Accepted: 2 August 2002     

中国国家地质公园空间结构与若干地理因素的关系

到目前为止，中国已建立了85处国家地质公园。最邻近点指数判别表明：国家地质公园在空间分布上属于凝聚型，受中国大地构造控制，形成了东部沿海带、武夷山带、太行山一巫山一雪峰山带、环青藏高原带、秦岭带、南岭带6个集聚带。进一步分析国家地质公园与区域经济水平没有明显的耦合关系，但与城市发展水平的空间耦合关系明显。说明国家地质公园的建立不仅依赖于地质遗迹资源，而且还与周边区域的城市发展水平有关。由于我国广大中西部地区地质遗迹资源丰富，因此随着这些区域城市发展水平的不断提高，在广大中西部地区建立更多的国家地质公园对大西部开发和中部经济崛起具有重要的战略意义。     

Study on evaluation of cities ability reduc-ing earthquake disasters

Introduction At the end of last century, the Committee of International Decade for Natural Disaster Re-duction had called on evaluating the ability reducing earthquake disasters of cities. However, since efficient method to assess earthquake loss of cities does not exist, the proposition did not come true. In 1994, China government put forward that the cities with dense population or developed economy and the areas off the seashore should have the ability to resist earthquake (M=6). Un-dou…
