AN ANALYSIS OF THE RANGE AND SPATIAL GRADIENT OF URBAN RECREATIONAL HINTERLANDS     

《The Professional geographer》2013,65(3):261-266

Because medical geography is a dynamic and developing area of thought, a number of conceptual and empirical problems are, as yet, relatively unexplored. This essay constitutes an attempt to delimit these problems, which include the application of geographical analysis to ascertaining disease causation, the prediction of future disease patterns and disease diffusion, and evaluation of the importance of maximizing geographical access to health care facilities.  相似文献   

A Debt to the West: Recent Developments in the International Financial Situation of East-Central Europe     

《The Professional geographer》2013,65(3):260-271

East-Central Europe is undergoing a rapid political and economic transformation. The unprecedented depth and speed of the economic reforms have produced serious questions about the stability of the region, and its future relations with western Europe and the world economy. This paper surveys and evaluates the size and character of existing debt stocks owed to the West by Hungary, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. The future political and economic stability of East-Central Europe and the European Community depends, to a large extent, on the ability of the Western financial system to respond to the long-term needs of the region.  相似文献   

Metropolitan growth and the mobility and immobility of skilled and creative couples across the life course     

Thomas J. Cooke 《Urban geography》2013,34(2):219-235

The human capital and creative class hypotheses argue that the agglomeration of skilled and creative people is key to economic growth. Migration is assumed to play an important role in forming these agglomerations. However, the results of this study indicate that while younger cohorts of skilled and creative individuals are highly mobile, skilled and creative couples are highly immobile. This research hypothesizes that it is these relatively immobile skilled and creative couples that are behind the link between urban growth and concentrations of skill and creativity. Indeed, this analysis finds a strong empirical link between concentrations of skilled couples, but not creative class couples, and economic growth. Public policies designed to increase the size of the skilled population should be directed at retaining younger cohorts long enough for them to develop the local networks upon which spillover effects rely.  相似文献   

国内产业转移背景下重庆对外贸易的地理格局     

高鑫  梁振民  魏冶 《世界地理研究》2013,(4):82-90

在全球第四次产业转移的背景下,重庆迅速调整产业结构并取得突破,对外贸易的地理格局发生较大变化。本文搜集整理2008～2012年海关统计数据,采用地理信息系统软件（Ar-cGIS9.3）对重庆市对外贸易伙伴的空间分布格局、商品构成状况进行研究。研究表明：①2008年以来重庆进出口商品总量增长迅速,出口集中度逐年提高,而进口集中度逐年降低;②进口贸易伙伴集中分布于亚洲、欧洲和北美洲。贸易伙伴的分布重心向东南亚倾斜。进口商品集中于电子信息产品及机械设备;③出口贸易伙伴分布更加集中于北美洲与欧洲。出口商品以计算机与通信产品、机械设备为主。其中,计算机类电子信息产品已经超过传统汽车、摩托车等产品而位居首位。最后对重庆市对外贸易发展的趋势进行了展望。  相似文献

中国民营企业对外直接投资区位选择研究--以温州民营企业为例   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王钢  张朝国 《世界地理研究》2013,(2)

自上世纪90年代后半期开始,世界经济呈现一体化整合的态势,全球和中国对外直接投资的规模不断扩大,温州民营企业对外直接投资也快速发展,被商务部称为“走出去”的“温州模式”。本文基于全球生产网络理论,建立了民营企业对外直接投资区位选择的优势拓展因素、制度利用因素和优势寻求因素的分析框架。通过温州民营企业对外直接投资区位选择的实证分析结果来看,优势拓展因素仍起到重要作用,优势寻求型的技术创新资源、市场营销渠道、市场信息资源是区位选择新的重要因素,但制度因素的作用也不可忽视。  相似文献   

Combining AHP with GIS in synthetic evaluation of environmental suitability for living in China's 35 major cities     

Yuyue Xu  Jinqu Zhang  Yong Xu  Mingwu Zhang  Xiuying Liao 《International journal of geographical information science》2013,27(9):1603-1623

There are nearly 700 cities in China, each with their own particular characteristics of natural environment quality and rates of economic development. When people are able to choose a city to live in, they will take into account these characteristics in order to improve their lifestyles. Based on geographic information system technology and the analytic hierarchy process method, a model of the living environment suitability index (LESI) for the larger cities of China was designed. The LESI was constructed by using the factors of economic condition, convenience and livable degree, natural environment and natural resources. The LESI model was then applied to compare the living conditions in 35 major cities in China in 2007, including 30 provincial capitals and 5 sub-provincial cities. LESI values were higher for cities in southeast China than for cities in the northwest. The highest LESI values were mainly distributed along the Chinese southeast coast and the Yangtze River Delta. Cities with the lowest LESI values were found in the centre and north of China. Of the 35 cities, 4 had highly suitable living environments and 7 had unsuitable living environments.  相似文献   

夏垫断裂带深部构造特征与第四纪活动性讨论   总被引：9，自引：3，他引：6  

何付兵  白凌燕  王继明  刘予  蔡向民  孙永华  张磊  方同明  郭高轩 《地震地质》2013,35(3)

利用重力、浅层地震和高密度电阻率法物探工作成果,由深及浅垂向上“接力拼接”的方式,结合钻探等手段,把夏垫断裂带分解为基岩断裂带和第四纪断裂带2个部分进行研究,结果表明:1)夏垫断裂带的基岩断裂带由主干断裂和次级断裂构成.其北段(马坊-西集一带)较窄,由2条主干断裂构成.其南段(西集-凤河营一带)较宽,由3条主干断裂构成.2)第四纪断裂带是基岩断裂带向上延伸的部分,是断裂带最新活动的直观表现,并受控于基岩断裂带.夏垫第四纪断裂带同样由主干和次级断裂构成,北段(马坊-西集一带)由2条主干断裂和分布于北端尾部次级断裂构成,与基岩断裂带一一对应关系较好.2条主干断裂产状差异较大,最新活动时间均为全新世.而南段(西集-凤河营一带)断裂分布不连续,很难分清主次断裂,同基岩断裂带的对应关系较差,推测为基岩断裂中夏垫断裂的活动.这些主、次级断裂产状均较为陡立,最新活动时间为晚更新世晚期-全新世早期.3)夏垫断裂带内上、下两盘全新世沉积底界垂向累积位错量为1.7 ～4.8m,晚、中、早更新世以来则分别为6 ～ 26m、26 ～ 167m和44 ～ 330m,其中最大累积位错量位于夏垫地区,向南、北逐渐减小.4)以张家湾断裂为界把夏垫断裂带划分为南、北2段.北段第四纪活动性强,中强震及微小地震时有发生,而南段第四纪活动性弱,仅发生微小地震.  相似文献   

In government we trust? Micro-business adaptation to climate change in four post-colonial and transitional economies of China     

《Global Environmental Change》2021

Public expectations of government influence private action for managing climate change risks. Institutional neglect or incompetence result in a loss of trust in public institutions, consequently discouraging the public from taking added responsibility for risk management. This has been explained in terms of social contract, but evidence suggests that a politics of distrust can reinforce alternative social drivers of action, rather than displacing action. This is empirically confirmed by the present study, which examines the tendencies for adopting private protective measures across a gradient of institutional trust. Surveys were conducted in four jurisdictions within China that operate under two different political-economic systems, namely, Hong Kong and Macao (liberal market economy), and Zhuhai and Sanya (socialist market economy). Structured interviews were conducted with 569 business operators to explore how their stated adaptation practice is related to institutional trust and social capital. We found that trust predicted action only in Sanya, which is characterized by a high level of public confidence in authorities. In places of lower institutional trust, social capital became a salient and powerful driver of action. The weakening of the social contracts in Hong Kong and Macao turned their people to alternative social mechanisms. We explain the results in terms of the development trajectories, socio-political norms and institutional settings of these jurisdictions. This study provides insights into how adaptation practice can be mediated by the consequences of a change in political leadership, policy, or governance arrangements that alters the relationship of trust.  相似文献
