1990年以来辽宁省环境与经济协调度评价

环境与经济协调发展是实现可持续发展的重要途径。关于环境与经济协调发展程度的定量评价方法和理论目前尚未成熟,从环境与经济协调发展及其协调度的概念出发,利用因子分析与相关分析相结合的方法设计了一套环境与经济协调度的定量评价方法,并对1990年以来辽宁省环境与经济协调发展状况进行了定量评价,结果表明:1990年以来辽宁省环境与经济协调状况经历了从失调向初级协调的转变过程,环境与经济协调度的发展大致呈“V”型趋势变化,“九五”时期是协调状态由失调向初级协调的过渡阶段,1997年以后环境与经济处于初级协调状态。对辽宁省环境与经济协调度的限制因子进行了分析,指出能源和水资源短缺、工业三废排放量大、局部地区生态环境问题突出、区域经济差距扩大等因素将长期制约辽宁省环境与经济协调发展。     

关于中国地理学中的区域综合研究

综合性与区域性是地理学的两大基本特点。随着区域发展成为人们关注的热点,跨学科综合研究成为学科发展趋势,我国的区域综合研究势在必行。我国地理学的发展历程和当今研究现状亟须区域综合研究的根本性突破,才能更好地为全球层面上的全球环境变化、国家层面上的可持续发展以及地区层面上的社会经济发展服务,才能推动地理学理论创新,真正实现黄秉维先生所倡导的"综合指导下分析,分析基础上综合"的方法论应用。最后,依据我国地域特征,拟定8个典型区域作为近期综合研究区,并提出加快研究云贵高原喀斯特地区的倡议。     

Agricultural policy reforms and sustainable land management: a New Zealand case study

This paper examines the link between poverty and land management within the context of New Zealand's almost total removal of subsidies to agriculture since 1984. The impact of these policy changes is explored through the findings from a detailed study of sixteen farms in the North Island hill country. Stress is identified as a primary link between social damage and environmental degradation. This link reinforces the impact of other linkages expressed in reduced production, lower stocking rates, and reduced capital inputs. Deregulation is claimed to be good. This paper shows that in certain circumstances this is not so.

Changing poverty distribution in Bolivia: the role of rural–urban migration and urban services

Bolivia is a country with high levels of poverty and inequality among its peoples and regions. For the nation and its urban and rural areas, trends in the social and spatial distribution of poverty (and extreme poverty) are identified from 1976 to 2003 using UBN data with minor support where appropriate from poverty lines. The main survey between 1992 and 2001 uses composite and selected UBN to track detailed poverty change for the country’s nine departments, its ten largest cities and a selection of other smaller urban and rural municipalities. Because of rising background increases in population in the various surveyed administrative units, many instances of relative reductions in poverty are accompanied by rising absolute increases. Marked spatial variations in poverty and development in the country over the last several decades are identified as the main driver for the country’s quickening pace of rural–urban migration. As a result, the paper concludes by assessing two different but closely related views. One investigation tests the notion that because more poor people have been living in Bolivia’s cities than in its rural areas since the mid to late 1990s, rapid rural–urban migration has simply shifted the locus of poverty from the countryside to the cities in a process called, the ‘urbanisation of poverty.’ A second, more challenging, investigation assesses the view that the flow of poor rural people to the better serviced urban areas of Bolivia has actually acted to alleviate national poverty levels.     

宁夏回族自治区湿地生态旅游可持续开发研究

宁夏回族自治区的湿地类型丰富多样,拥有典型的湿地生态旅游景观和丰富的湿地动植物资源,且大多数湿地主要分布在银川市以及经济较发达的宁夏沿黄城市带,湿地旅游资源的开发具备了良好的基础和前景,但目前湿地面积不断缩小,湿地动植物资源遭到严重破坏,科学地和可持续地开发宁夏丰富的湿地旅游资源显得尤其紧迫。在调查评价宁夏湿地生态旅游资源的基础上,进行该区湿地生态旅游可持续开发的SWOT分析,提出开发的对策和建议,着重保持生态平衡,改变当地社会经济增长方式,形成人与自然和谐共处的局面,既是防止宁夏现有湿地资源进一步破坏,实现湿地生态旅游资源可持续利用的有效方法,又是加快宁夏旅游业发展的必要措施。     

A wind shift: Integrating curriculum for education for sustainable development

Abstract:  For seven years, trainee teachers in the Pre-Service Secondary Teacher Education Programme at Massey University College of Education, Albany campus, have integrated their curriculum areas to model the processes school students could follow in environmental education and education for sustainable development using Motutapu, an island adjoining Rangitoto in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, as the context for their actions. Evaluation of the programme indicates that it is empowering to learn about connections between subject areas and the potential for school students to have a hand in creating a sustainable future and to participate in real world concerns.
