对推进城镇化健康发展问题的思考

城镇化是一个国家和地区经济社会发展的重要标志，也是人类社会走向文明和进步不可逾越的阶段，所谓城镇化（也称城市化、非农化），是指人类生产和生活方式由乡村型向城市型转化的历史进程，表现为乡村人口向城市人口转化以及城市不断发展和完善的过程。城镇化是我国现代化进程中必经的历史阶段。“十五”以来，我国城镇化取得了重要进展，但在加快城镇化发展中也出现了一些偏差。《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十一个五年规划的建议》提出，要“坚持大中小城市和小城镇协调发展，提高城镇综合承载能力，按照循序渐进、节约土地、集约发展、合理布局的原则，稳步推进城镇化”。     

Revisiting Sustainable Development of Dry Valleys in Hengduan Mountains Region

Dry valleys are a striking geographic landscape in Hengduan Mountains Region and are characterized by low rainfall, desert type of vegetation and fragile environment. Past efforts and resources have been concentrated mainly on rehabilitation of degraded ecosystem and fragile environment, particularly reforestation, while socio-economic development has been largely overlooked. Despite successes in pocket areas, the overall trend of unsustainability and environmental deterioration are continuing. It is important to understand that uplift of the Tibetan Plateau is the root cause of development of dry valleys, and development and formation of dry valleys is a natural process. Human intervention has played a secondary role in development of dry valleys and degradation of dry valleys though human intervention in many cases has speeded up environmental degradation of the dry valleys. It is important to understand that dry valleys are climatic enclaves and an integrated approach that combines rehabilitation of degraded ecosystems and socio-economic development should be adopted if the overall goal of sustainable development of dry valleys is to be achieved. Promotion of niche-based cash crops, rural energy including hydropower, solar energy, biogas and fuelwood plantation is recommended as the priority activities.     

玛多黄河源区生态环境治理:任重道远

黄河,发源于青藏高原巴颜喀拉山北麓。玛多县境是黄河源区的主要片区,这里因处于三江源区青藏高原腹地及其特殊的地理位置和高寒多风干旱的气候,生态环境十分脆弱。近20年来,由于大气环境的逐渐变暖和人类活动的加剧如草原开发和过牧等因素,玛多县境内黄河河段、湖泊、湿地及草     

AGGLOMERATION AND RADIATION EFFECT OF THE PULL OF URBANIZATION

In order to explore the train of thought for China‘s urbanizing development and coordinated rural eco-nomic development, and to find good ways of solving rural problems through urbanization, this paper absorbs the push-and-pull forces theory and the systematic dynamic theory in the traditional population migration theories, views urbanization as a dynamic system, makes research on the push-and-pull mechanism of urbanization. The pulling power of urbanization is analyzed according to two aspects, the agglomeration effect and the radiation effect of cities. The agglomeration effect provides continuous propelling force for urbanization, and the radiation effect further accelerates the urbanization process by pushing forward the development of rural economy. Of course, the slow de-velopment of urbanization can result in the hindrance to rural economic development.     

我国民营经济发生三大历史变化

全国工商联主编的2006民营经济蓝皮书预计未来5年，全部民营经济占全国GDP的比重将达3／4，私营企业数量将占全国企业总数的70％以上。     

利用历史有感地震目录（M≥3（1／2））研究华北地区地震活动性特征

对新编的华北地区历史有感地震目录（３（１／２）≤Ｍ＜４（１／２））的精度和可信度进行了讨论。认为该地震目录从１４８４年后的记载率较高，它的发震时间、震中位置和震级的精度基本可以满足研究历史地震活动性的需要。它与中国地震目录（Ｍ≥４（３／４））比较，补充了相当数量的３（１／２）≤Ｍ≤４（１／２）的地震。利用历史有感地震目录分析了华北北部部分６级以上的历史地震，结果表明，这些地震在强震发生前具有明显的空区、条带、地震活动性增强、平静等前兆特征，同时，也显示了某些强＊发生前的前震活动和主震之后起伏的强余震活动     

APPLICATION OF ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS TO ASSESSING THE ECOLOGICAL VULNERABILITY OF WETLANDS IN THE JIANGHAN PLAIN

Wetlands in the Jianghan Plain are important components of wetland types in lake area in the middle and lower reaches the Changjiang (Yangtze) River and they fulfill many uses and functions related to hydrology,waste assimilation, ecosystem productivity and biodiversity. Owing to natural factors and human activities, especially excessive reclamation from lakes, the shrinking process of the lakes has been accelerated. Wetland ecosystem has shown the characteristics of vulnerability. According to the analysis of wetland ecological function in the Jianghan Plain, this paper presented an index system related to productivity, stability and environmental capacity. By using the method of Analytic Hierarchy Process, we computed the values of the relative weights of the indexes, and evaluated the vulnerability level of the wetland ecosystem by the method of multi-indexes. The case study showed that the fragile extent of wetland ecosystem in the Jianghan Plain is 5.6. This means that the wetland ecosystem in the Jiang-han Plain is laid to the state of middle vulnerability. Therefore, the wetland conservation and eco-rehabilitation in the JiangJaan Plain should be paid attention to.     

一定要把人类的牧地变成鲸类的墓地？

谁操纵了鲸类的命运 鲸（Whale），地球上现存最大型的动物，也是最大型的哺乳动物，曾经广泛分布在世界各大洋的海洋霸主，但它们在用现代科技武装起来的人类面前，再也强大不起来了。如今，徘徊在灭绝边缘的鲸类除了面临海洋污染、船舶撞击、噪声污染、渔业误捕和渔网缠绕等因素造成的危险外，更主要的威胁来自于捕鲸船的围猎。
