BORDER PORT MANZHOULh URBAN FUNCTION AND SPACE DEVELOPMENT

Manzhouli is the largest land port city on the Sino-Russia border, transit cargo through the land port amount-ed to 5.95 million tons, transit tourists were 304 500 in 2000. It stands at the joint place of China, Mongolia and Russi-a, faces to Siberia area of Russia, receives direct support from the Northeast China and Bohai Sea Rim Area, and possess-es priorities in geographical location, land port infrastructure, water resources, coal resources, tourist resources andgreat potentiality in economic cooperation with Russia. The future urban function is a key port on the First Eurasia Continen-tal Bridge. Manzhouli Port will keep its first place between China and Russia land transport, and it is forecasted that thetransit amount through Manzhouli Port will go up to 10 million tons in 2005 and 20 million tons in 2010. It will be construct-ed to be a trade center of the peripheral area extending to Russia and Mongolia, a key export-oriented processing industri-al zone supported by industries such as export processing industries, export agriculture, trade services, technology trad-ing and the other service industries. It keeps being a well-known touring city for trade, shopping, sightseeing, vocation,local food, recreation and cultural events. To build Manzhouli Export Processing Industry Zone will improve city econom-ic structure, and the main sectors are organic food processing, livestock products processing, garment and furniture indus-try. Moreover, Manzhouli Export Processing Industry Zone will eventually be upgraded to be a border free trade zone.The city functional transition will inevitably affect urban spatial restructure and its expansion. The city space transforma-tion will develop as such: one development axis of No. 301 highway paralleling with Bin - Zhou(Harbin - Manzhouli) rail-way which cuts through central part of Manzhouli City, and links Zhalainuocr District with central city; three urban unitsincluding central city, Zhalainuocr District and Manzhouli Interchange Trade Zone; cohesion with Aoerjin and Cuogangpastures; regional dual-nuclei structure of Hailaer City and Manhzouli City; and the Manzhouli-Zabaykalsk Free TradeZone.     

A CASE STUDY ON CONCENTRATION AND DECENTRALIZATION：BEHAVIOR AND DYNAMIC MECHANISM OF SPATIAL EVOLUTION IN METROPOLITAN AREA，NANJING，CHINA

In rapid socio-economic development,the process of concentration and dispersal of various elements tends to be more dramatic,tremendously influencing the shaping and transformation of the space in metropolitan area.Survey of spatial concentration and decentralization has thus become a basic method in examining metropolitan spatial evolution.In this research,three elements were selected as the essential indicators of the process:demographic density distribu-tion,employment density distribution and business office location.Performance of these elements in Nanjing City was exam-ined historically.As Nanjing City could be regarded as a representative of metropolitan areas in China,its situation large-ly suggestes the general characteristics in similar areas of China.Hence based on the investigation of Nanjing City,four general implications were highlighted.First ,metropolitan areas in China are in a violent process and shift of spatial concentra-tion and decentralization.Second,from now to at least the near future,concentration will continue to be the central fea-ture.Third,the landscape of metropolitan areas basically exhibits a dual structure character.The gap in environmental and ecological qualities among different districts will continue for a long time.Fourth,Central Business District (CBD) is playing an important role in helping to convert the traditionally single-centered city structure into a polycentric one.     

城市化进程中土地资源配置的认识误区

按照经济学的观点，城市化就是人口在地理上的集中，一是城市人口的增多，在总人口中的比重上升，二是城市建设规模的扩大，是一个从农村经济转变为具有基本对立特征的城市经济变化过程。这种变化既是人口、市场、企业、基础设施在地理上的集中过程，也是工业化发展引起经济发展的一个必然现象。在这种现象的背后，即工业化各种因素的“集中”特点，最直接的效果就是对土地资源的再配置提出了紧迫的要求。作为认识问题，尤其是对于国家土地资源管理部门来说，消除城市化进程中土地资源配置的认识误区，显得尤为重要。

印度洋与南亚、西亚沿海的海洋战略角逐（下）

美国对印度洋地区的掌控能力明显增强 在冷战时期，美国就在印度洋地区布有海外军事基地。美国印度洋基地群以迪戈加西亚基地为核心，辐射至印度洋沿岸各港口，特别是阿拉伯湾、波斯湾和红海地区。迪戈加西亚地处印度洋中心位置，是印度洋空中和海上交通枢纽，战略地位十分重要。自1971年美国海军从英军手中接管以来，     

中部地区主要城市工业用地的地价杠杆作用

1经济发展和工业用地价格状况 我国经济政策上的中部地区就主要包括山西、河南、湖北、湖南、江西、安徽等6省。中部6省土地面积为102．7万km^2，人口3．63亿，分别占全国的10．7％和28．1％。近年来，在国家政策的大力支持和自身努力下，中部地区城市经济都取得了长足的发展，经济发展同时也带动了土地价格的上涨，但工业用地的价格并没有相应上涨。
