  • Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Rural Reconstruction and Recovery in Sichuan China
    POST-WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE RURAL RECONSTRUCTION AND RECOVERY IN SICHUAN CHINA: MEMORY, CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION by Haorui Wu B.Eng., Sichuan University, 2006 M.Eng., Sichuan University, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2014 ©Haorui Wu, 2014 Abstract On May 12, 2008, an earthquake of a magnitude of 7.9 struck Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China, which affected 45.5 million people, causing over 15 million people to be evacuated from their homes and leaving more than five million homeless. From an interdisciplinary lens, interrogating the many interrelated elements of recovery, this dissertation examines the post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction and recovery. It explores questions about sense of home, civic participation and reconstruction primarily based on the phenomenon of the survivors of the Wenchuan Earthquake losing their sense of home after their post-disaster relocation and reconstruction. The following three aspects of the reconstruction are examined: 1) the influence of local residents’ previous memories of their original hometown on their relocation and the reconstruction of their social worlds and lives, 2) the civic participation that took place throughout the post-disaster reconstruction, 3) the government interventions overseeing and facilitating the entire post-disaster reconstruction. Based on fieldwork, archival and document research, memory workshops and walk-along interviews, a qualitative study was conducted with the aim of examining the earthquake survivors’ general memories of daily life and specific memories of utilizing space in their original hometown.

    Chengdu Prepare | Travel | Experience THINK AHEAD. LEARN MANDARIN. Hutong School www.hutong-school.com Introduction Chapter 1: Before your arrival Chapter 2: How to Survive Your First Week Chapter 3: Get The Most Out Of Your Week Chapter 4: Weekend Guide Chapter 5: Scams in China Introduction Chengdu is a metropolis that, like many Chinese cities, seems to have developed and modernized overnight. New metro lines are opening every year, new skyscrapers are constantly being erected, and many new companies and startups are finding their way into the city’s growing economy. As the capital of China’s Sichuan province, it does not sit on China’s populated East coast, but the city has taken steps to position itself as the primary economic hub for Western China. Everyone who knows at least a little bit about Chengdu will all share the same two initial thoughts of the city: spicy food and pandas. China’s Sichuan Province is the country’s cradle for spicy food, as the cuisine makes liberal use of peppers and garlic, including the uniquely flavored Sichuan pepper. Additionally, Chengdu is home to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a breeding facility to help spur the population of the endangered giant panda bear. The total number of giant pandas left in the world is estimated at 1,500, with 80 percent located within the Sichuan Province. Outside of these two attractions, Sichuan offers plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in China, while also hosting familiar Western amenities if you ever desire them. In this e-book we will cover everything from the beginning to the end of your Hutong School adventure.

The results show that: (1) Dujiangyan city land use changes a large extent, with the extension of construction land expansion as the main increase part, and at the cost of the reduction of arable land and grassland area. (2) Over the past 7 years, the total value of ecosystem services in Dujiangyan city followed a law of first rising and then falling, showing an overall rising trend, with a total increase of 19.2244 million yuan. (3) The accuracy of the ecological value coefficient of woodland and grassland will greatly affect the value assessment of ecosystem services in Dujiangyan city. (4) From the relationship between land use type and ecosystem service value, cultivated land and construction land are negatively correlated with ecosystem service value, on the contrary, forest land, grassland, water area and construction land are positively correlated with ecosystem service value. In general, the land use of Dujiangyan City did not cause obvious damage to the ecological environment, but also cannot ignore the impact of land use changes on the environment in the process of economic development.

    2020 8th International Education, Economics, Social Science, Arts, Sports and Management Engineering Conference (IEESASM 2020) Study on the Quality Classification and Evaluation of Star Farmhouse in Chengdu, China Based on Factor Cluster Analysis Qiaoling Liang, Ping Huang, Chuangle Guo*, Yanjun Liu, Rui Guo Chengdu University of Information Technology, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China *Corresponding author: Chuangle Guo Keywords: Star farmhouse, Quality evaluation, Factor analysis, Cluster analysis Abstract: Chengdu is the birthplace of Chinese agritainment, which has become an important part of rural tourism development. Based on the field survey data of 204 star rated farmhouses in Chengdu, this paper uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate the quality status of star rated farmhouse entertainment in 19 districts, cities and counties of Chengdu by using factor analysis and cluster analysis. The evaluation results are: the overall quality is good. According to the quality related main factors, it can be divided into three types: basic type, normative type and comprehensive type, and most regions present multi type mixed pattern. Among them, the typical of basic type is concentrated in Pujiang County, the typical of normative type is concentrated in Dujiangyan City, and the typical of comprehensive star level is concentrated in Pidu district. 1. Introduction In 1987, China's first farmhouse “Xujia courtyard” was born in Nongke village of Chengdu. After more than ten years of development, Chengdu promulgated two local standards in 2004, namely, the basic conditions for the opening of farmhouse entertainment and the classification of service quality of farmhouse tourism, and implemented the star classification and evaluation of farmhouse entertainment.
