Traditional Village Planning under the Theory of Actor Network:A Case Study of Village Planning in the Jingmai Mountain,Pu’er,Yunnan Province

Rural revitalization strategy is an important topic in China.As an important platform for the implementation of the strategy,the preparation of village planning for traditional villages is conducive to coordinating the contradiction between protection and development,and promoting the sustainable development of traditional villages.The traditional villages of the Jingmai Mountain in Pu’er,Yunnan Province are taken as the research objects.The first-hand data are obtained through interviews and field research,and Actor-Network model is used to analyze the actors’ goal and obstacle in preparation of village planning,which better reflects the interests of different actors in village planning process.At the same time,the action path of planning is interpreted through the process of problematisation,interessement,enrolmen,mobislisation and dissidence.In the preparation of village planning for traditional villages,key elements should be paid attention to,such as bridging the cognitive gap,building consensus,setting up participation platform and formulating relevant policy guarantee mechanism,etc.     

Economic Loss Assessment of Ecological Damage of Land Resources in the Process of Urbanization:A Case Study of Wanzhou District, Chongqing City

With the improvement of urbanization's level, the destroys of land resources become severer and severer, and the expense is huge. According to their features, land resources can be classified as environmental loss, available ecological loss and land restoration costs. By studying the principle and technique of evaluating these three losses, we put forward quantification pattern of ecological loss of land resources. The research of Wanzhou district, Chongqing city indicates that the number of total ecological loss of land resources during the urbanization from 1995 to 2001 is about 344.70 millions yuan, it is 4.70% of GDP in 2001. In the mass, Wanzhou district is not in a sustainable development because the ecological loss of land resources during the urbanization continually increased.

All-for-one tourism emphasizes the transformation of tourism from the original single scenic spot service to traveling on the road,and advocates the guiding destination service of integrating transportation and surrounding scenery sources.As the most abundant carrier of tourism environment,mountainous scenic spots are valued more by the development of natural tourism resources.In addition to the characteristics of scenic spots,how to use scenic roads to create a regional atmosphere has become a focus of tourism construction.Taking scenic roads of Nanshan in Chongqing as an example,this study analyzed the key points of road landscape upgrading under different construction levels,and put forward design strategies from the perspective of regional characteristics and regional cultural elements,so as to effectively enhance the regional landscape characteristics of the roads,with a view to providing reference for relevant planning and design.     

Tropical and Subtropical Urban Landscape Plant Cultivation in Southwest China—A Case Study of Honghe Hani and Yi Nationality Autonomous Prefecture

By studying current seedling production in Honghe Hani and Yi Nationality Autonomous Prefecture, tropical and subtropical urban landscape plant production in southwest China was analyzed. Local nurseries total 6.40 km 2 , accounting for 5.1% of total constructed land area in the prefecture, and only 0.02% of the total land area in the prefecture. Application of local plant species in landscape engineering and green coverage ratio lags far behind the indexes of Chinese livable city and indexes of relieving urban heat island effect. By making proper policies and measures, seedling production can be promoted, rare and endanged wild plant species should be fully used to construct garden city, control PM2.5 and protect the living environment.

The industries of the future in Mexico: Local and non-local effects in the localization of “knowledge-intensive services”

The current characteristics in the global economy have defined “knowledge-intensive services” (KIS) as part of the so-called “industries of the future” due to the attributes of their employment and central function in the development processes in science, technology, art, and culture. This study outlines as a central hypothesis that the localization of KIS depends on different factors according to the type of knowledge being developed (analytical, synthetic, and symbolic). The main objective in this work is to explore the spatial economic factors associated with the localization and changes (positive and negative) when using KIS in the “national urban system” in México between 2004 and 2014. To do so, the services sector is defined according to the “intensity” and the “types” of knowledge that they develop. An analysis of spatial econometrics is carried out that distinguishes between the geographic (local) effect and the spatial (non-local) effect of the independent variables using data and microdata from the period 2004 to 2014. The results partly correspond with the central hypothesis of the study and offer possibilities of public policies to take advantage of and to promote the benefits of KIS, especially regarding cities in developing countries looking to become part of the 21st century economy.     

Re‐Regulation in the Post‐WTO Period? A Case Study of Vietnam's Food Retailing Sector

Academic interest on domestic regulatory (and re‐regulatory) impacts of retail foreign direct investment remains surprisingly under‐researched, despite high‐profile campaigns, particularly in Southeast Asia, to rein in the expansion of retail transnational corporations. This paper focuses on the trends of re‐regulation of foreign retailers, particularly in the food sector, in Vietnam before and after the accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2007. The findings reveal a complex layering of regulation, some of it a holdover from the pre‐2007 period and some of it occurring since WTO accession, in the form of the controversial Economic Needs Test.     

Can the Land Use Master Plan Control Urban Expansion and Protect Farmland in China? A Case Study of Nanjing

Urbanization represents a challenge for plans aimed at controlling urban expansion and protecting farmland, such as the land use master plan (LUMP) instituted by the Chinese national government. This paper studies the effectiveness of such top–down plans under the authoritarian regime through the case study of Nanjing. In contrast to previous studies that compare actual and planned land‐use maps, we compare actual and planned land‐use patterns. We use land‐use change data to examine spatio‐temporal land‐use change between the years 1997 and 2014. The results indicate that the actual amount of urban‐rural built‐up land exceeded planned regulatory amount by 50,185 ha and the total farmland was 70,541 ha less than the target outlined in the LUMP (1997–2010). Based on these results, and the fact that the allowed total urban‐rural built‐up land had already been surpassed in 2014, it is to be expected that the target of farmland protection outlined in the LUMP (2006–2020) will be broken, signaling the ineffectiveness of the plan to control urban expansion and protect farmland. Plan‐led developments (e.g., new towns, development zones) and market forces (e.g., housing market, foreign direct investment) explain these developments. This study indicates that when cities embrace “growth‐led” development and entrepreneurial governance, the ability of plans to control urban expansion and protect farmland is severely limited.
