Living the good life? The rise of urban mixed-use enclaves in Metro Manila     

Jana Maria Kleibert  Lisa Kippers 《Urban geography》2016,37(3):373-395

Gated communities and other forms of privatized enclaves have become features of many cities. The rise of urban mixed-use enclaves, which integrate functions of work, entertainment and living, is a relatively new and understudied phenomenon that is expanding rapidly throughout the Global South. In this article, we advance the concept of enclave urbanism through a case study of Eastwood City in Metro Manila, the Philippines. We trace the enabling factors for mixed-use enclave creation and assess how the different functions are marketed and integrated in practice into one “live–work–play” development. Based on extensive qualitative research, we argue that the global capital accumulation strategy of real estate developers leads to a strong focus on production and entertainment functions, but neglects questions of liveability. We reflect on the implications of our findings for mega-urban regions and urban studies research.  相似文献   

Firm entry modes and Chinese business networks: Malaysian investments in Vietnam          下载免费PDF全文

Guanie Lim 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2016,37(2):176-194

This paper examines the Malaysian Chinese firms that have expanded into Vietnam. Based on research and qualitative personal interviews with Malaysian Chinese firms that have invested in Vietnam, the paper unpacks the entry modes that these firms have undertaken. It argues that the Malaysian Chinese firms prefer joint ventures in their Vietnamese businesses to wholly‐owned subsidiaries and personal direct investments. This paper also argues that such investments are often embedded in social and intraethnic ties, which connect Malaysian Chinese firms with Vietnam's ethnic Chinese businessmen. To this end, these firms tend to rely on informal ties and nonmarket institutions in the form of the ethnic Chinese business networks. Nevertheless, the Malaysian Chinese firms are not averse to collaborating with nonethnic Chinese firms that enjoy a good relationship with the Vietnamese state. This observation is especially marked in the property and construction, and finance sectors.  相似文献   

长江经济带经济-环境协调发展格局及演变   总被引：8，自引：6，他引：2  

邹辉  段学军 《地理科学》2016,36(9):1408-1417

通过经济与环境系统的协调发展度评估,分析了长江经济带经济环境协调发展的时空演变格局,并对经济带经济发展、环境污染与环境质量的格局与态势展开探讨。研究表明：经济带协调发展度空间差异显著,东部地区明显大于中西部地区,沿江地区高于非沿江地区。高度协调型主要分布在长三角地区及少数中西部省会城市;高度失调型主要分布在重庆、皖北、滇西南、鄂中等地区;江西与四川是协调型转为失调型的集中地区。长三角核心城市经济地位依然凸显,但长三角边缘地区城市经济位序呈下降趋势,中西部地区部分城市经济位序上升明显。工业废水排放以重庆、苏州、杭州为最多,工业SO₂排放呈现3大集中地带。城市空气质量较差的是长三角边缘地区以及中西部沿江地区,城市空气质量总体上与工业SO₂排放、工业烟尘排放在空间格局上较为吻合。长江干流断面水质上游（川滇渝）与下游（苏沪）较差,一定程度上反映了沿江地区工业废水排放对长江水质的影响。最后,从树立发展与保护双重使命,创新经济带开发体制机制;推进下游城市经济转型升级,培育中上游新的经济增长极;落实最严格的管理制度,共建生态文明示范带等方面提出发展建议。  相似文献

赵林  张宇硕  吴迪  王永明  吴殿廷 《地理科学》2016,36(5):671-680

基于考虑非期望产出的SBM模型,对2001~2012年沿海11个省市区（不含香港、澳门、台湾地区）的海洋经济效率进行了测度,并对其时空特征进行分析。研究发现：① 不考虑非期望产出的效率值要明显高于考虑非期望产出的效率值,非期望产出对于海洋经济效率具有明显影响。② 2001年以来海洋经济效率演变分为波动下降（2001~2008）和缓慢上升（2009~2012）两个阶段;区域差距呈先缩小后扩大的趋势。③ 空间上呈现由南北高、中部低的格局向以天津、上海、广东为中心的三极格局演进的趋势;省际变化特征各异。最后对海洋经济效率的影响机制进行了解释,并提出了提高海洋经济效率的实现路径。  相似文献

采用耦合协调模型对2000—2013年西安市生态环境系统和经济系统进行综合评价分析,并对两大系统的耦合关系及耦合度演变趋势进行研究。结果表明:生态环境系统综合水平呈现在波动中下降的演变趋势,经济系统综合发展水平呈现在波动中上升的演变趋势;西安市生态环境和经济发展二者协调性由低水平的经济滞后失调型发展为高水平的生态环境滞后协调型,并存在工业废气排量增加和不合理的产业结构等问题,因此,需加强污染物排放的控制与监管,实施绿色考核制度,坚持绿色生活方式,从转变经济增长方式和增长动力2个角度出发,从而实现区域经济社会可持续发展。  相似文献   

降雪含水比研究进展   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  

崔锦  周晓珊  阎琦  张爱忠  李得勤  杨阳 《气象》2017,43(6):735-744

降雪深度预报与定量降水预报(QPF)一样是冬季天气预报最重要的业务之一,而降雪含水比是降雪深度预报中所必须的重要参数,国外一般多将其称为snow-to-liquid ratio(SLR)。本文回顾了过去几十年来国内外在SLR的变化特征、影响因素等方面的主要研究进展,并对其预报技术和方法进行了总结和比较。研究表明:SLR具有明显的时间变化,并且存在季节和空间分布差异;大气温度和相对湿度是影响SLR的两个最重要气象因子,气压、垂直运动等气象因素,以及地表风、积雪自重、太阳辐射和积雪融化也会不同程度地影响SLR;随着预报技术的发展,SLR的预报方法可概括为气候学的、统计学的和基于物理基础的三类预报方法,气候学方法过于简单化,统计学方法的应用提高了SLR的预报能力,但仍无法摆脱统计方法自身的缺陷,比较而言,基于数值模式的瞬时预报更符合未来雪深预报业务的精细化发展趋势;目前,国内降雪深度观测资料较少、观测频率较低,有效开展地面降雪和探空加密观测,解决观测资料不足是今后SLR研究中亟待解决的问题;基于数值天气预报业务模式,探索气象因子对SLR的影响机理,建立适合我国冬季天气预报业务需求的降雪预报系统是未来的发展方向。  相似文献   

Spatial and economic effects of the Bohai Strait Cross-Sea Channel on the transportation accessibility in China     

《Applied geography (Sevenoaks, England)》2017

The Bohai Strait Cross-Sea Channel (BSCC) is a mega-strategic project that connects the Shandong Peninsula and northeastern China. After half a century of research, this project has entered its preliminary planning phase. Based on the Chinese modern transportation system database, this paper applies Dijkstra's algorithm to study the impacts of the BSCC on the structure of Chinese transportation accessibility and discusses the spatial and temporal changes and the strength of economic linkages among the eight affected coastal urban agglomerations before and after the construction of the BSCC. This study concludes that: (1) the BSCC will open up a northeast–southwest traffic artery in coastal areas of China that will significantly improve the transportation accessibility of both these coastal areas and northeastern China as a whole, which cover an area of 2.18 million km², and on average will reduce the travel time of nationwide prefecture-level cities by 16 min; (2) the BSCC will significantly improve the total economic linkages (TELs) of urban agglomerations of the Central South Liaoning, the Shandong Peninsula and the Harbin–Changchun transport link and will decrease the spatial differences in the strength of cities' economic linkages, which will benefit the integration of the Bohai Economic Circle; (3) the BSCC will eliminate the segregation between the two coastal economic groups brought about by the Bohai Strait. This will promote the revitalization of the old industrial base in northeastern China by expanding the radiation scope of the Yangtze River Delta and the Shandong Peninsula across the Bohai Strait into northeastern China. Additionally, the BSCC will enhance the economic linkages between urban agglomerations in northeastern China and the western shore of the southeastern coast, Pearl River Delta, and North Gulf of Guangxi on the southeastern coast. Finally, it will create northeast–southwest economic integration in these coastal areas. This research will assist decision-making for the BSCC project and other cross-sea tunnels in China.  相似文献   

基于公路客流的中国城市网络结构与空间组织模式   总被引：32，自引：8，他引：24  

陈伟  刘卫东  柯文前  王女英 《地理学报》2017,72(2):224-241

多视角和多尺度城市网络逐渐成为认识空间关系的主要途径。公路流数据具有显著的空间依赖性和距离衰减特性,对于刻画区域尺度空间关系具有重要意义。基于全国地级行政单元间的公路客运流,论文尝试刻画中国城市网络功能结构和区域效应,并对其空间组织模式进行特征提取和规律挖掘,以期能够为城市网络研究提供新的方法支撑和认知视角。研究结果表明：① 基于公路流的城市网络空间形态表现出强烈的空间依赖性和层级特征,与中国主要城市群分布存在较大程度的空间耦合,更多体现的是区域尺度的空间关系及核心—外围组合关系;② 通过社区发现算法识别出19个城市经济区,其空间内涵主要包括行政区经济、巨型区域溢出效应和核心—边缘结构等;③ 不同地域系统内城市网络自成体系,表现出显著的空间依赖性和多元的空间组织模式,多层次、流动性和网络化的地域系统格局凸显;④ 从空间形态上看,区域城市网络空间结构大致可划分为单中心结构、双核心结构、多中心结构和低水平均势结构等区域关联形态,并以单中心发育模式为主。  相似文献   

Potential economic benefits from sablefish farming in British Columbia     

Ussif Rashid Sumaila  John Volpe  Yajie Liu 《Marine Policy》2007

We present in this paper results of an analysis of the potential economic contribution of sablefish farming in British Columbia (BC). This is necessary because a BC sablefish hatchery has recently begun production of juvenile sablefish for grow-out in marine net pens. The production from this single hatchery is anticipated to effectively support sablefish production that will match the entire current BC sablefish capture fishery. Two key questions we address are, how will net benefits (added value) to BC from the sablefish sector be affected if (i) BC and the rest of the world engage in sablefish farming, and (ii) BC bans sablefish farming while the rest of the world does not. We find that at low BC aquaculture production levels, small economic gains are possible. However, gains quickly disappear as production increases towards anticipated levels. A sablefish-farming ban in BC could be beneficial to the province and Canada if BC wild sablefish landings command a price premium of at least 20–25%.  相似文献
