Curious Indeed,or Curious in Deed? Some peculiarities of post-settlement relations with an antipodean river     

Stephanie Lavau 《The Australian geographer》2011,42(3):241-256

Prominent in many historical accounts of European first contact with Australian nature are stories of encounters between European curiosity and curious Australian biota, such as the platypus and the eucalyptus. In this paper, I argue that post-settlement relations with the Goulburn River, one of the largest rivers in south-east Australia, likewise attest to the centrality of curiosity in early European engagements with Australian landscape. In mapping several relational ontologies of the Goulburn River, I attend to the socio-material practices in which this river has been performed as different and as normal. My interest is in a specific form of difference, that of antipodean difference: the river as topsy-turvy, backwards, unusual, or inverted in relation to some presumed norm, whether that norm be rooted in memories and experiences of European rivers or imaginings of an original state of nature. This is a story of how an extraordinary river became ordinary, and of how we might understand antipodean difference as curious in deed (i.e. as performed), rather than as curious indeed (i.e. as an innate quality of Australian nature).  相似文献   

Market intermediaries and rural people in Bolivia's forest products sector: Are trusting partnerships possible?     

James T. Murphy  Mary Lawhon 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2011,32(2):203-219

Decentralization in access to and control of Bolivia's forest resources, coupled with a rising global demand for tropical hardwoods, raises important questions about whether increased trade and community forest management (CFM) initiatives can enable forms of market integration that have more favourable outcomes for rural communities. This paper assesses the prospects for such a transition through an examination of the relationships linking wood product market intermediaries (brokers and buyers) to rural suppliers and forest communities in Bolivia. The analysis centres on whether trust – conceptualized as a power‐laden sociospatial process driven by multiscalar factors – can evolve between buyers and suppliers such that more progressive (sustainable and mutually beneficial) partnerships devolop. Focusing on three types of buyer–supplier relationships in Bolivia – direct ties between wood brokers/buyers and suppliers, nongovernmental organization (NGO) mediated exchange relationships and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification of suppliers – our findings show how trust building initiatives that focus on one scale may fail if factors at other scales create obstacles to collaboration, Given these relational constraints, CFM strategies in Bolivia currently face limitation on their viability as economic development strategies.  相似文献   

大城市边缘区农村居民点用地空间布局优化研究——对上海南汇地区的考察   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

大城市边缘区农村居民点用地存在用地粗放、布局散乱、难于规范管理等问题。以大城市边缘区农村居民点用地整理为契机,优化空间布局不仅有利于形成农村经济新增长点,还可促进农村居民点土地集约节约利用。在分析当地农村居民点用地现状及其分布状况的基础上,以典型地区——上海南汇地区为例,对其空间分布的随机性进行了检验,对农村居民点用地按标准偏差分类,并进一步按欧氏空间距离对大于2.25标准偏差的地块进行聚类分析。结果显示:南汇地区农村居民点用地的空间分布并不是随机分布,可分为远离中心类和集聚中心类两种类型。依据结果,提出了"远离中心方案"和"集聚中心方案"两种不同的农村居民点用地整理方案。  相似文献

运用问卷调查法和基于SPSS软件的统计分析法,以南京市为例,从城市居民感知视角考察乡村旅游的发展情况。从旅游偏好、旅游频率和空间分布等方面探讨城市居民的乡村旅游行为特征,并进一步分析了乡村旅游的知晓度、居民对各乡村旅游点开发水平的感知与其空间分布之间的相关关系,以及居民对乡村旅游发展总体印象与旅游频率之间的相关关系。在此基础上,提出南京市乡村旅游发展的有关对策与建议。  相似文献   

基于规划协调的乡镇土地利用统一分类研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

张亚丽  黄珺嫦  蔡运龙  田华文 《地域研究与开发》2011,30(5)

清晰统一的用地分类是实现乡镇土地利用总体规划和村镇体系规划协调的基础。回顾了建设和国土部门土地利用分类的历程,提出统一土地分类的原则,对《土地利用现状分类》(GB/T 21010—2007)和《镇规划标准》(GB 50188—2007)中土地分类进行对比分析,确定了统一的乡镇土地利用分类,为有效指导农村区域土地资源利用和规划提供借鉴。统一的乡镇土地利用分类包括12个一级类,59个二级类,其中有9个二级类划分了三级类,三级类共有21个;以《土地利用现状分类》(GB/T 21010—2007)为准的一级类包括8个,二级类包括49个;以《镇规划标准》(GB 50188—2007)为准的二级类1个;两者综合并重新定义的一级类4个,二级类9个。  相似文献   

统筹城乡发展导向的中心村镇建设理论思考   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

徐克帅  刘彦随 《地域研究与开发》2011,30(5):7-11

统筹城乡发展战略为促进乡村空间重构、优化城乡格局提出了新要求。中心村镇是连接城市和散乱村庄建设的纽带,通过推进一定乡村地域的组织、产业和空间"三整合",可以有效利用各种资源,促进农村经济、社会和环境的协调与健康发展,中心村镇建设的科学规划与决策也亟需相关理论支撑。以乡村地理学、乡村规划学和乡村社会学等领域为背景,着眼于空间、时间和主体3个维度,对增长极理论、中心地理论、农业区位论、经济成长阶段论、空心村生命周期理论、社区(公众)参与等中心村镇建设相关理论进行梳理分析,探讨了这些理论在我国中心村镇建设与规划中的应用,认为中心村镇建设需要加强基础理论研究,分类指导我国中心村镇建设的实践。  相似文献

基于乡村文化景观二元属性的保护模式研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李飞 《地域研究与开发》2011,30(4):85-88,102

文化景观是人文地理学的核心概念,近年来,乡村旅游在促进乡村文化景观保护的同时,也使两者矛盾空前地尖锐化。为解决两者矛盾,从地格理论出发,探索适合我国乡村旅游促进文化景观开发与保护的模式体系。基于乡村文化景观具有的二元属性———乡村性和遗产性,提出了3种以乡村旅游促进文化景观保护发展的模式。研究认为:生态博物馆、乡村大舞台和景观嘉年华模式不仅有利于乡村社区和本土文化的结合,而且能够促进乡村旅游发展和文化景观保护。  相似文献   

Behaviour of piles subjected to passive subsoil movement due to embankment construction – A simplified 3D analysis     

《Computers and Geotechnics》2013

Two trial piles were installed at the berm section of an embankment in the later stage of its construction and one of them was fitted with an oversized casing to isolate its top 3 m from the action of surrounding soil. Lateral bending behaviour these two piles subjected to passive sub soil movements were very different from each other because of the casing and is modelled in this paper using a three dimensional analysis. The effect of relative stiffness of the piles on their lateral bending behaviour is investigated. The effect of interface joint slip on the pile’s behaviour is also investigated in a later section of this paper.  相似文献
