A PRIMARY APPROACH TO CHINESE STRATEGIC INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM
Fang Chuanglin, Dong Suocheng, Wu Wei
1996, 6(3): 193-200.
Abstract:
Generally speaking, strategic industry sectors of a country or an areahave such characteristics as relatively higher growth rate, higher la[)'>ur productivity, higher rate of employment, higher technological level, higher rate of technologicalimprovement, more obvious competitive advantages, stronger power and biggerscale, higher demand flexibility and better economic benefit compared with that ofother industrial sectors. Theoretically, each industry can become a strategic industrydepending on strategic task, goal of a given economic development stage and nationalor regional conditions. So, establishing strategic industrial system, as output of thedevelopment of social labour division, is of great significance in both constructing national or regional industrial structure and making out national regional industrial policy. In this paper, the authors made a detailed study on China's strategic industrialsystem by using Weaver-Thomas Model.
DEVELOPMENT, TERRITORIAL DIFFERENCE AND SPATIAL EVOLUTION OF TOWNS IN CHINA ──A DISCUSSION ON THE VIEWS OF ANTI-URBANISM IN CHINA
Gu Chaolin
1996, 6(3): 201-211.
Abstract:
Growth of Chinese small towns is a continuing process of urbanization.By analyzing regional disparity and comprehensive development level of Chinese smalltowns, it is considered that town development depends mainly on the regional agriculture and social development level. Their spatial distribution is restricted by population distribution and regional economic development level. Chinese urbanization, justthe same as urbanization in developed countries, is a sign of socio-economic vigourand prosperity, and is not related to social and political systems. Thus, it is worth todiscuss China's anti-urbanism with abroad scholars.
THE SYSTEMATIC STRUCTURE OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCES OF THE HUANGHE RIVER DELTA
Xu Xuegong
1996, 6(3): 212-222.
Abstract:
On the basis of characteristics of the physical geographic environmentand natural resources of the Huanghe(Yellow)River Delta, this paper studies theintegral structure of the environment and resources system of the region with the Interpreting Structure Model(ISM). This paper chooses 9 environment factors, 7 superior resources and 6 disastrous or restrictive elements to make the structure matrixseparately. And by using the ISM to tidy up the relations among the elements, threesystem structure graphs are obtained. Then they are integrated into a great environment-resources system of the Huanghe River Delta. The structure of the environment and resources system is an entirety. It should be studied and perfected with acomprehensive and systematic view. In regional development, the resources exploitation often occupies the key position. In the Huanghe River Delta, oil and land resources should be exploited first. This can bring about the comprehensive development of other resources. The region will finally be built into an oil energy base, anoil and salt chemical industrial base and bases of agriculture, animal husbandry andfishery. In the territorial management of the Huanghe River Delta, great attentionmust be paid to the root, middle links, result and appearance which constitute theresources and environment of the region. The harnessing of the Huanghe River Deltashould focus on the river's mouth, ground water, saline-alkali land and ecologicalfragility. The final goal is to transform and overcome the bad conditions to promote agood cycle of the environment and resources system.
EVOLUTION OF RAPIDS OF CREEK MOUTH-BAR AT GEZHOUBA RESERVOIR AND THE IMPACTS ON NAVIGABLE CHANNEL IN THE UPPER REACHES OF THE CHANGJIANG RIVER
Lin Chengkun, Gao Xizhen
1996, 6(3): 223-230.
Abstract:
Almost at every mouth of the tributary creek of the Three Gorges inthe Gezhouba Reservoir, the alluvial fans or alluvial cones formed the rapids, whichare called rapids of creek mouth-bar. They are composed of pebble bed load with d>20 mm. Based upon geological and geomorphological investigations, the authors detect that the pebble bed load at the Gezhouba Re3ervoir comes from two sources, namely, the region mainly with limestone and The region mainly with pyrolith, andtheir converging area is within the Gezhouba Project. percentages of the pebble bedload are calculated. The calculated result stows that, 65% of pebble bed load comesfrom the region mainly with limestone, and 93% of the rapids of creek mouth-bar isdistributed in the region mainly with limestone. Considering the water level fluctuations, the rapids of creek mouth-bar can be divided into 3 types i. e. flood waterones, medium water ones and low water ones. Due to the rise of water level afterbuilding the Gezhouba Reservoir, the navigable channels in the area of rapids ofcreek mouth-bar within varied back water region are improved, taking up 50% of all12 rapids. But the rapids of creek mouth-bar in the tail region where the water levelrises less than 1 m, the conditions of navigable channels are little improved and evendeterioration, because of the continuous supply of pebble bed load. Therefore, thoserapids must be regulated before the completion of the Three Gorges Project.
PERMAFROST DEGENERATION IN THE EAST OF QINGHAI-XIZANG PLATEAU
Zhu Linnan, Wu Ziwang, Liu Yongzhi, Li Dongqing
1996, 6(3): 231-238.
Abstract:
The zoning' boundaries of permafrost are theoretically determined fromthe relation between permafrost and modern climate in this paper. The boundary elevations are given in a profile. There are many phenomena demonstrating a commondegeneration, such as buried frozen soil, pseudo-permafrost land forms, variations ofpatchy permafrost table, multigelation, and vegetation changing in different regions.The important conclusion is that a basic trend of the permafrost changing in theplateau is degeneration.
CLIMATIC TREND INDICATED BY VARIATIONS OF GLACIERS AND LAKES IN THE TIANSHAN MOUNTAINS
Hu Ruji, Yang Chuande, Ma Hong, Jiang Fengqing
1996, 6(3): 239-246.
Abstract:
Under the control of geographical environment and the influence ofmodified west air mass, the mass balance of glaciers in the Tianshan Mountains hascontinously decreased since the 1970s. However, the lake level has increased gradually duo to the increase of precipitation. The interaction between temperature andprecipitation resulted in a normal and slightly more total amount of water resources inthe areas of the Tianshan Mountains. It is estimated that this climatic trend will lastto the early stage of the next century.
WATER RESOURCE IN QILIAN MOUNTAINOUS REGION AND ITS INFLUENCE ON ECO-ENVIRONMENT OF HEXI CORRIDOR
Chen Changyu
1996, 6(3): 247-258.
Abstract:
Based on the water resources of the Shiyang, Heihe and Shule riverbasins in the Hexi Corridor and their original runoff volume, the actual annual waterresources in the oasis of every county and town of the Hexi Corridor are calculated indetail. From the point of view of ecological balance, the ecological water requirementin oasis and farmland in this region are determined. Then, to basically keep the natural ecological balance of every county and town, the proper oasis area and farmlandarea are given.
EMISSIVENESS AND DESTINATION CHOICE BEHAVIOR OF SHANGHAINESE IN THEIR WEEKEND RECREATION
Wu Bihu, Fang Fang, Yin Wendi
1996, 6(3): 259-271.
Abstract:
Based on questionnaire survey and cross-tabulation analysis, the authors discussed relationships between emissiveness and socio-economic elements ofShanghainese in their weekend trips, including emissivenesses of different age group, income per month, occupations, education and family structure. Visiting rates ofrecreationists to destinations demonstrated different levels even being under a same emissiveness. In the second part of the paper, the authors described three differentspatial scales of destination choice behavior of Shanghainese to tourist sites fromwhich situated in urban area, to which located in suburb area and in neighboringprovinces. The authors also observed the perceptive evaluation of Shanghainese tothose sites they had visited or would visit in the future. Some proposals abollt sustainable urban tourism development were put forward at the end of this paper.
A FRACTAL STUDY ON URBAN SYSTEM IN NORTHEAST CHINA
Liu Jisheng
1996, 6(3): 272-281.
Abstract:
The paper made a preliminary study on the spatial structure of urbansystems which take Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin as centers respectively innortheast China. A law is found that the spatial stracture becomes gradually loosewhile the level of aggregation' tends to rise from the south to the north based on themeasurement and calculation of fractal dimension and fractal structure factor. Theauthor discussed how the spatial patterns formed and lastly put forward suggestionsto improve the supervision of the urban systems in northeast China.
THE ORIGIN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GLACIAL DEBRIS FLOW IN THE DUKU HIGHWAY OF TIANSHAN MOUNTAINS, CHINA
Xiong Heigang, Liu Gengnian, Cui Zhijiu, Song Changqing
1996, 6(3): 282-288.
Abstract:
Debris flow is one of the most serious natural hazards in the TianshanMountains. According to trigger agent, the debris flow can be divided into stormtype which is caused by flood, and glacial type which is caused by flood from meltingof snow and glacier in hot weather. At present, debris flow causes damage mainly totransportation, sometimes to mining and residents in mountainous area. The catastrophic process and the forming condition of the debris flow show regional regularity, therefore, the research of its distribution, processes, and environmental condition isuseful in mitigating the natural hazard.
