Urban spatial development and land use in Beijing: Implications from London’s experiences     

TAN Minghong  GUY M. Robinson  LI Xiubin 《地理学报》2011,21(1):49-64

Beijing is facing a huge challenge to manage the growth of its built-up area whilst also retaining both productive arable land and land for conservation purposes in order to simultaneously realize the three aims of economic development, protecting arable land and generating environmental improvements. Meanwhile, London, as a world city with more than 200 years of industrialization and urbanization, has accumulated rich theoretical and practical experiences for land use planning in a major urban area, such as the creation of Garden Cities, a designated Green Belt and New Towns. This paper firstly analyzes the main characteristics of the spatial distribution of the built-up area, arable land and conservation land in Beijing. Then, some of the key aspects of urban fringe planning in the London region are examined. Lastly, several implications from the experience of London are provided with respect to land-use planning for Beijing, concentrating on a re-appraisal of land-use functions around Beijing, measures to improve the green belt, the development of small towns to house rural-urban migrants and urban overspill, and effective implementation of land-use planning.  相似文献   

干旱区绿洲城市化发展与耕地保护协同性分析——以张掖市甘州区为例   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

吴文婕  石培基  胡巍 《地理科学进展》2011,30(5):621-626

城市化水平是衡量一个国家经济发达程度,特别是工业化水平高低的一个重要标志,而耕地非农化是城市化过程中的一种必然现象,耕地数量变化体现一定的社会经济发展规律。因此,研究耕地资源与城市化的关系具有一定的现实意义,有助于为当地政府城市规划和进一步发展提供参考依据。处在脆弱敏感的自然环境下,干旱区绿洲城市发展与耕地资源保护存在着显著矛盾。本文基于1996-2008年的统计数据,利用回归分析法和协调度分析法分析了甘州区城市化水平与耕地资源变化的相关性及协调性。结果表明:1996-2002年耕地资源与城市化水平呈现出一定相互促进的正相关关系;2003年耕地资源变化略有波动,耕地面积有所减少。2004-2008年耕地资源变化逐渐趋于平稳,而在此过程中城市化水平一直处于稳步上升状态。协同度除2004年呈不协调状态,其他年份呈基本协调或较协调趋势。  相似文献   

Preserving coastal natural character: Court interpretations of a long‐standing New Zealand policy goal          下载免费PDF全文

Victoria Ann Froude 《New Zealand geographer》2015,71(1):45-55

New Zealand's policy goal to preserve coastal natural character was first incorporated into planning legislation in 1973 and protected area legislation in 1977. An evaluation of 100 relevant Resource Management Act Court decisions determined the Courts' interpretations of this policy goal. The Courts have repeatedly found that natural character is of nature (not culture), including natural elements, patterns, and processes. There is a continuum of naturalness from pristine indigenous ecosystems to the urban environment. A 2014 Supreme Court decision has upheld the use of environmental bottom lines for natural character and the importance of protection as part of sustainable management.  相似文献

基于三维地质模型的西咸新区地下空间开发 适宜性评价     

李林 《地质与勘探》2024,60(1):197-206

地下空间开发地质适宜性评价是合理进行地下空间开发、降低开发地质风险的重要手段。传统的评价方法没有考虑地下空间复杂的垂向变化,因而无法满足越来越精确的地下空间规划要求。本文以西咸新区沣东沣西为例,结合该区地质地貌背景、工程地质特征、水文地质条件、不良地质作用以及地下空间开发现状等特点,建立地下空间开发地质适宜性评价因子体系;利用三维精细化剖分的评估单元为载体,综合使用多种三维空间分析方法从多要素地质模型中定量或定性提取各项指标,运用层次分析法模型开展研究区地下空间开发适宜性评价。评价结果表明：研究区60 m以浅地下空间开发利用条件优越,总体适宜开发建设。浅层空间易受文物保护区、地面水体、活动断裂影响,中层空间受城市建成区既有设施及地下构筑物影响较大,深部地下空间主要受断裂影响。该方法能够精细刻画地下空间在垂向上的差异,评估过程与结果能够立体透明化表达,能够定性、定量地为地下空间开发利用提供辅助决策,以达到资源保护优先、协同开发的开发利用格局。  相似文献   

Copper‐gold mineralisation in New Guinea: Numerical modelling of collision,fluid flow and intrusion‐related hydrothermal systems     

P. A. Gow  P. Upton  C. Zhao  K. C. Hill 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(4):753-771

Two‐ and three‐dimensional numerical modelling techniques, constrained by key geodynamic data, provide insights into the controls on development of porphyry‐related Cu–Au mineralisation in the Tertiary collision zone of New Guinea. Modelling shows that the creation of local dilation to facilitate magma emplacement can be caused by reactivation of arc‐normal transfer faults, where they cut the weakened fold belt. Additionally, dilation occurs where fluid overpressuring is caused by collision‐related, south‐directed fluid flow being localised into the more permeable units of the Mesozoic passive‐margin sedimentary succession. Rapid uplift and erosion, which may be a mechanism for magmatic fluid release in these systems, is shown to be greatest in the west of West Papua, where the stronger Australian crust acts as a buttress. Within the Papuan Fold Belt, uplift is greatest near the margins, where the weaker fold belt abuts the stronger crust and/or major faults have been reactivated. Increased orographically induced precipitation and erosion exposes the lower parts of the stratigraphy within or on the margins of these uplifted zones. On a smaller scale, 2–D coupled fluid‐flow ‐ thermal‐chemical modelling uses a scenario of fluid mixing to calculate metal precipitation distribution and magnitude around an individual intrusive complex. Modelling highlights the interdependence of the spatial permeability structure, the regional temperature gradient, and the geometry of the convection cells and how this impacts on the distribution of metal precipitation.  相似文献   

A 200-year precipitation index for the central English Lake District / Un indice de précipitation de 200 ans pour la Région des Lacs en Angleterre     

《水文科学杂志》2013,58(5)

Abstract

Abstract The geographical context and hydroclimatology of the English Lake District means that the region is an important monitor of changes to nationally significant environmental assets. Using monthly rainfall series for sites in and around the central Lake District, a continuous ~200-year precipitation index was constructed for a representative station close to Grasmere. The bridged series shows a significant decline in summer rainfall since the 1960s, offset by increases in winter and spring that are strongly linked to North Atlantic forcing. Over longer time periods, the index exhibits several notable dry (1850s, 1880s, 1890s, 1930s, 1970s) and wet (1820s, 1870s, 1920s, 1940s, 1990s) decades. These patterns are strongly reflected by reservoir inflow series and by indicators of the biological status of the region’s freshwater lakes. It is argued that long-term climate indices will become increasingly important as managers seek to evaluate recent and project environmental changes within the context of long-term natural variability.  相似文献   

Glacial forest refugium in Howard Valley,South Island,New Zealand     

Maureen J. Marra  Glenn D. Thackray 《第四纪科学杂志》2010,25(3):309-319

Fossils of forest habitat beetles and leaves of Nothofagus menziesii provide evidence of a forest refugium at times between ca. 34 000 and ca. 18 500 cal. a BP at an upland site in Howard Valley, located adjacent to glaciated valleys in South Island, New Zealand. The stratigraphy of the glacial‐aged terrace sequence of organic‐rich silts and fluvial sand/gravels indicates that soil development occurred episodically for around 15 000 a. Fifty‐four beetle taxa represent seven habitat types: forest, forest or scrub, riparian and aquatic, litter, grass/tussock, marshland and moss habitats. Leaf and beetle fossils indicate that forest dominated by N. menziesii persisted at the site for most of the time period represented, and tree line taxa such as Taenarthrus sp. 1 (Carabidae) and Podocarpus sp. (Podocarpaceae) indicate that the site may represent the upper tree limit for full‐glacial time. The finding of forest at this elevated site adds to the growing fossil evidence for multiple forest refugia in New Zealand during the last glaciation and is consistent with the pollen records, which have consistently indicated the presence of forest species during the last glaciations.

Reservoir potential of Late Cretaceous terrestrial to shallow marine sandstones,Taranaki Basin,New Zealand   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

K.E. Higgs  M.J. Arnot  G.H. Browne  E.M. Kennedy 《Marine and Petroleum Geology》2010

Late Cretaceous coals and coaly source rocks are the main source of hydrocarbons in the Taranaki Basin, yet to date there have not been any hydrocarbon discoveries within Cretaceous strata, and sandstone distribution and reservoir quality for this interval have been poorly understood. The Late Cretaceous sediments were deposited in several sub-basins across Taranaki, with their distribution largely determined by sediment supply, subsidence, and sea level change. In this study, we describe potential reservoir facies in well penetrations of Cretaceous strata in Taranaki, as well as from outcrop in northwest Nelson, on the southern edge of the basin.  相似文献   

The anatomy of a disaster, an overview of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans     

Lewis E. Link 《Ocean Engineering》2010,37(1):4-12

Hurricane Katrina created the one of the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, resulting in over 1600 fatalities and $30B in direct economic losses in southern Louisiana. The Louisiana and Mississippi coastlines experienced the highest surge level recorded in North America and Katrina-generated waves in the Gulf of Mexico that equaled the highest previously measured by NOAA buoys. What happened in New Orleans epitomizes the risk of living below sea level in a coastal city, depending on structures that were the result of considerable compromise and piecemeal funding and construction. The Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force was established to examine the performance of the New Orleans and southeast Louisiana hurricane protection system and provide real-time input to the repairs and rebuilding of the system. In addition to this atypical just-in-time forensic analysis, the task force examined the risk of living in New Orleans prior to and following the repairs to the hurricane protection system. Much of the forensic analysis depended on modeling and simulation of hurricane surge and waves. With virtually all measurement instruments swept away by Katrina, only models and high-water marks were available to recreate the conditions that the structures experienced during the storm. Because of the complexities of the region and the processes involved, simulation of hurricane surge and waves required many fresh ideas and new approaches and these topics, along with new concepts for future planning and design, are the focus of this special issue. Yet, the need to influence the repair and rebuilding of the damaged structures prior to the next hurricane season (roughly 9 months) dictated using existing computational tools that were ready to go. The same modeling and simulation approach was put to work to define the surge and wave hazard New Orleans faces for the future. To put this important body of work in context, this paper provides a broad overview of the entire scope of work of the task force and summarizes its principal findings.  相似文献
