城市型目的地入境旅游市场演化差异研究——基于中国香港和新加坡市内部结构与外部规模分时段辨析   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

查瑞波  伍世代  孙根年 《地理科学》2018,38(10):1661-1669

借鉴区域交通网络建构中的O-D（Origin-Destination）模型提出一个能够从3个维度揭示入境旅游目的地内外部市场变化过程的旅游O-D对接模型,以中国香港和新加坡市为案例,分析了两地入境旅游市场结构与规模的变化。通过内外部多指标对比研究,辨析入境旅游市场集中化与多样性的利弊,比较小型城市型入境旅游目的地的内外部市场结构变化差异。利用2005~2016年相关统计数据,构建了市场重要度-市场偏好和市场偏好-市场占有率2个组合矩阵,取2005和2006年的平均值与2015和2016年的平均值,对中国香港和新加坡市的入境市场进行了比较。结果显示,从旅游目的地内部客源结构来看,10 a间香港入境旅游市场集中度高并呈现进一步集中化趋势,而新加坡入境旅游市场多样性高且相对稳定,这与香港2003年开放内地“自由行”而内地入港旅游持续增长有关;从目的地外部市场规模来看,中国是世界最大的出境游市场,出境游规模远超过印度尼西亚,导致香港旅游市场吨位指数也远大于新加坡。最后,结合已有研究进行文献对话讨论了市场集中化与多样化策略选择对不同规模入境旅游目的地的利弊,分析认为多样性的入境旅游市场策略有利于大型入境旅游目的地实现其全球政经战略需求等的目的。而对于小型城市入境目的地而言,集中性的入境旅游市场策略更有利于节约营销成本、获得稳定客源和实现入境旅游收入的长期稳定增长。  相似文献   

Future hydro-meteorological drought of the Johor River Basin,Malaysia, based on CORDEX-SEA projections     

Mou Leong Tan  Liew Juneng  Fredolin T. Tangang  Ngai Weng Chan  Sheau Tieh Ngai 《水文科学杂志》2019,64(8):921-933

Water scarcity issues in the Johor River Basin (JRB) could affect the populations of Malaysia and Singapore. This study provides an overview of future hydro-meteorological droughts using climate projections from an ensemble of four Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments – Southeast Asia (CORDEX-SEA) domain outputs under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios for the 2021–2050 and 2071–2100 periods. The climate projections were bias corrected using the quantile mapping approach before being incorporated into the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrological model. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI) were used to examine the meteorological and hydrological droughts, respectively. Overall, future annual precipitation, streamflow, and maximum and minimum temperatures are projected to change by about ?44.2 to 24.3%, ?88.7 to 42.2%, 0.8 to 3.7ºC and 0.7 to 4.7ºC, respectively. The results show that the JRB is likely to receive more frequent meteorological droughts in the future.  相似文献   

Beyond the spectacle of property windfalls in Singapore: Lefebvrian spaces of home against profit-making     

John Lowe 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2020,41(2):209-225

In Singapore, owners of private housing estates reaping windfalls through collective sales have been subject to the news media's sensational coverage of the topic. While collective sales will give rise to new developments that regenerate the country's landscape to reflect the image and identity of an entrepreneurial city, efforts to resist this wealth generating urbanism are subject to erasure. Instances of minority owners disinterested in profit-making using the courts to save their homes from the collective sale juggernaut are certainly emblematic of the inherent tension between one's home as housing and home as investment repository. Drawing upon ethnographical experiences from a housing estate built for public officials in Singapore, this article's use of the Lefebvrian theory of spatial production sheds light on how minority owners unmotivated by monetary windfalls (re)produce spaces of their homes that are overtly inimical to the impulses of majority owners to monetize their homes at high premiums.  相似文献   

‘Imagineering’ Asian emerging markets: Financial knowledge networks in the fund management industry     

Karen P.Y. Lai 《Geoforum》2006,37(4):627-642

This paper examines knowledge production networks in the fund management industry. Focusing on Asian emerging markets (EMs), I explore how fund managers, brokers and research analysts utilise a combination of texts, analytical structures, codified procedures, and social networks to generate interpretations and perspectives on Asian EMs. Utilising a process-based approach, I investigate how ‘EMs’ as an investment category is imagined and practiced by those in the fund management industry through knowledge networks and how such networks are produced and maintained. Discussions are drawn from interviews conducted with 22 EMs specialists in Singapore and London. I argue that Asian EMs have distinct characteristics that are acted upon and reproduced by finance workers in particular ways and that the acquisition and transfer of tacit knowledge takes on increased significance when codified knowledge structures are lacking. Actors in Singapore and London are also embedded in different knowledge networks, which offer different strategic advantages but, when taken together, form a complex and multi-layered knowledge production network of ‘imagineering’ Asian EMs from both within and outside of Asia.  相似文献   

Remote sensing mapping of the regeneration of coastal natural habitats in Singapore: Implications for marine conservation in tropical cities     

Y. H. Jonathan Tan  Jacqueline K. Q. Tham  Aayush Paul  Umair Rana  Hui Ping Ang  Nhung T. H. Nguyen  Alex T. K. Yee  Bryan P. I. Leong  Simon Drummond  Karenne P. P. Tun 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2023,44(1):130-148

Rapid urbanization has resulted in the loss of coastal and marine habitats in cities worldwide. The effective conservation of urban coastal ecosystems requires detailed knowledge of their spatial distribution, necessitating high-resolution mapping. Our study produces a high-resolution coastal and marine habitat map and shoreline map for the tropical city-state of Singapore created through pixel-based supervised classification of satellite imagery, bathymetry data and expert ground knowledge. These maps can be used as a base reference for multiple applications including ecological research, conservation and urban planning. They also help identifiy trends in the extent of key coastal habitats, providing insight into their differing levels of vulnerability to loss and potential for restoration to ensure long-term resilience. The method used for mapping shoreline typologies and resulting insights gained, can guide other rapidly urbanizing coastal cities on strategies to assemble useful spatial knowledge for effective conservation of their urban coastal ecosystems.  相似文献   

中国企业赴新加坡上市格局的演变   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

潘峰华  夏亚博  徐晓红 《世界地理研究》2014,(1):140-150

企业海外上市的地点选择是金融地理学关注的重要问题。中国有大量的企业在海外上市,其中新加坡是最重要的海外上市地点之一,但是近几年其吸引力有所下降。本文首先分析中国企业在新加坡上市的时间、空间以及行业结构变化历程,在此基础上探讨新加坡成为我国企业海外上市重要目的地以及近期地位下降的原因。凭借与中国在地理、文化和语言等方面的邻近性及产业上的相似性、较为宽松的上市条件、证券交易所积极的市场营销、来自新加坡的风险投资机构的推动以及地方企业集群的模仿领袖效应,新加坡在很长一段时间都是我国企业海外上市的重要目的地之一。2007年以后,新加坡证券交易所对中国企业的吸引力明显下降,主要是由全球金融危机造成资本市场低迷、全球各大交易所间竞争加剧和中国概念股在新加坡金融市场融资不畅等原因造成。结论部分指出,新加坡原有的吸引中国企业前去上市的优势已逐步丧失,企业应理性对待上市。此外,海外上市对全球金融地理格局有深远影响,值得更多国内地理学者进行研究。  相似文献   

Rethinking graduated citizenship: Contemporary public housing in Singapore     

《Geoforum》2015

The ways in which citizenship and housing are implicated in states’ global city aspirations demonstrate significant path dependency and local contingency. This paper serves to broaden the literature that has been dominated by the Western neoliberal context. First, I argue that The Pinnacle@Duxton – a one-of-a-kind public housing project in Singapore – represents the developmental state’s attempt to graduate its homogeneous public housing landscape, providing for and subsidizing the aspirations of a segment of its increasingly affluent middle class to buy into the ideology of the global city. Second, I show how the graduation of public housing coupled with the exaggerated demand for such exclusive projects validates consumer preference pricing in contemporary public housing. This results in a geographical graduation of citizenship, where the bulk of the population is relegated to lesser options on the edges on the island, unable to fulfil their aspirations for global living. In so doing, I make two contributions to extant literature on housing and citizenship in the global city. One, graduating citizenship is not always a case of states realigning their relationship with their citizens to fit the terms of the market. Two, the denial of citizenship to the global city does not always manifest in terms of substantive rights. Appreciating the unique histories and ideologies underpinning housing policies in global cities is instrumental if the variegated meanings of global cities and the citizenships within are to be elucidated.  相似文献   

Revisiting gateway cities: connecting hubs in global networks to their hinterlands     

Sören Scholvin  Moritz Breul  Javier Revilla Diez 《Urban geography》2013,34(9):1291-1309

Gateway cities have received much attention from urban geographers. In spite of outstanding contributions being made, we think that the concept needs to be revisited with regard to regional development implications. Bringing together research on global production networks (GPNs) and world cities, this article shows that gateway cities are critical for development in networks, generating impulses for peripheral locations by engaging them in processes of “strategic coupling.” Yet, gateway cities also concentrate segments of GPNs to the detriment of their hinterlands. We conceptualize gateway cities with the aid of five features: logistics and transport, industrial processing, corporate control, service provision and knowledge generation. Our concept allows for an understanding of cities in global and regional economic processes beyond corporate headquarters, corporate services and governance – that is, beyond the boundaries of existing research. It unsettles traditional understandings of strategic coupling and world cities, filling a lacuna on city–hinterland connections.  相似文献   

Mapping spectral tropicality in The Maid and Return to Pontianak   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Sophia Siddique Harvey 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2008,29(1):24-33

Contemporary, postcolonial Singapore has tamed, managed, and essentially disavowed its tropicality, aptly captured symbolically as the 'air-conditioned nation'. This essay traces how two recent Singapore horror films, The Maid (2005) and Return to Pontianak (2001), evoke the 'return of the repressed' as a form of haunting that I call 'spectral tropicality'. The films image and imagine this spectral return through unruly bodies (citizen subjects, female domestic workers, ghosts and vampire-ghosts) and uncanny landscapes (the jungle and city). In particular, the films and this analysis examine two sociocultural spectres lurking beneath Singapore as a tropical urban city-nation: the female domestic worker ( The Maid ) and ethnoracial folk beliefs ( The Maid and Return to Pontianak ). The Maid features the Hungry Ghosts Festival in the Chinese religious calendar, ghost marriages and an engagement with yin and yang energies, while Return to Pontianak deals with Malay folk beliefs of semangat ('life force'), and the pontianak, a female vampire-ghost. The Maid attempts to integrate Chinese folk beliefs into contemporary Singapore's cityscape, particularly the architecturally conserved Chinatown shophouses, while Return to Pontianak displaces Malay folk beliefs onto the tropical forest, which is mapped as a threatening other(ed) space and serves as Singapore's tropical doppelganger. Both films suggest that these folk beliefs have an unruly presence within the state's seemingly harmonious and meritocratic ethnoracial ideologies.  相似文献
