China *Corresponding author Keywords: Urbanization, Resource environmental carrying capacity, Coordination characteristics, Temporal and spatial patterns, Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration. Abstract. The coordination of urbanization and resources and environment is one of the key issues to promote regional social and economic development. This paper took Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration as the study area, constructed the evaluation index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity first, and then used entropy method and the coordination degree model to measure the coordination of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity from 2005 to 2017. Results indicate that the overall index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity of Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration shows an upward trend, and there are obvious spatial differences, especially between Lanzhou and Xining and the surrounding counties. The coordination degree of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity is between [0.5, 0.6), most of the counties are in a state of reluctance coordination, and the spatial distribution law of the degree is high in the east and low in the west. And the regional differences are gradually shrinking. There is a significant positive correlation between urbanization and capacity. The coordination status of Lanzhou and Xining provincial cities is relatively good, and the urbanization level is lower.

This study uses Lanzhou, one of the major cities in Northwest China, as a case area. Using the industry classification of POI data, the nearest-neighbor index, kernel density estimation, and location entropy are adopted to analyze the spatial clustering-discrete distribution characteristics of the overall economic geographical elements of the city center, the spatial distribution characteristics of the various industry elements, and the overall spatial structure characteristics of the city. All of these can provide a scientific reference for the sustainable optimization of urban space. The urban economic geographical elements generally present the distribution trend of center agglomeration.

  • Residents' Satisfaction with Primary Medical and Health Services In
    Dong et al. BMC Health Services Research (2017) 17:298 DOI 10.1186/s12913-017-2200-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Residents’ satisfaction with primary medical and health services in Western China Weinan Dong1, Qingyu Zhang3, Chunsheng Yan1*, Wanling Fu2 and Linlin Xu1 Abstract Background: Currently, China is in the process of medical and health care reform, and the establishment of primary medical and health services covering urban and rural residents is an important aspect of this process. Studying the satisfaction of residents of underdeveloped areas with their primary medical and health services and identifying the factors that can increase the satisfaction of different groups may improve patient compliance and ultimately improve health. Moreover, such research may provide a reference for the development of medical and health undertakings in similarly underdeveloped areas. Methods: A face-to-face survey was conducted on a stratified random sample of 2200 residents in Gansu by using structured questionnaires. Demographic characteristics were collated, and questionnaires were factor-analysed and weighted using SPSS software to obtain scores for each factor, as well as total satisfaction scores. The characteristics of poorly satisfied populations were determined by a multiple linear regression analysis using SAS software. A cluster analysis was performed using SAS software for classification and a separate discussion of populations. Results: The hypertension self-awareness rate (11.29%) of the sampled population was lower than the average hypertension prevalence (23.85%), as recorded in the 2014 Health Statistical Yearbook of the region. The disease knowledge awareness factor was the lowest factor (2.857), whereas the policy awareness factor was the highest factor (4.772).

The representative provincial capital in the underdeveloped region of northwestern China, Lanzhou, was selected for the research area. In this paper, methods such as the two-step floating catchment area and ArcGIS network analysis are used to analyze the geographic spatial accessibility of medical services and differences of spatial access between urban and rural areas in Lanzhou city. The results show that 1. Areas in General and below grade of accessibility account for most of Lanzhou city. Therefore, the spatial accessibility of whole Lanzhou city is comparatively unsatisfactory. It shows a tendency of the north region to be worse than south region, and areas in parts of the main districts, parts of HG, and other tiny minority show Great grade of accessibility, and most of other areas distribute in poorer grade of accessibility, especially the surrounding mountainous region. 2. There are obvious differences in accessibility between urban and rural regions, mainly reflected in that residents and areas are basically districted in the Great and Good grade in the urban region, while almost 75% of the population and 35% of the areas are distributed in the Great and Good grade, and nearly 25% of the residents and 65% of the areas are still in the unsatisfactory accessibility grade in the rural region.

  • Effect of Land Creation on Regional Ecological Environment - 5923

F.1* – MA, C.1 – KONG, D. J.2 – ZHAO, J.1 1College of Geography and Environment Science, Northwest Normal University Lanzhou, Gansu Province 730070, China 2School of Foreign Languages, Lanzhou Jiaotong University Lanzhou, Gansu Province 730070, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] (Received 21st Jan 2019; accepted 27th Feb 2019) Abstract. With the accelerating process of urbanization, the contradiction between the shortage of land resources and the expansion of cities has become increasingly prominent. Many cities have expanded the area of development by “cutting mountains and building land”. Taking Lanzhou city of China, a typical valley-type city as the study area, land use change data obtained from remote sensing imagery in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 were quantified by land use transfer matrix, land use change intensity index, ecosystem service value, and regional eco-environmental quality index method. The study on the characteristics of land use change and its impact on the ecological environment in Lanzhou City shows that the land use change in Lanzhou City during the period of 1990 to 2015 years is mainly reflected by the decrease of cultivated land and grassland, the increase in construction land and unused land area; The quality of eco-environment in Lanzhou City was negative developed from 1990 to 2015. The spatial expansion caused by urbanization had the most profound impact on land use types; the minimum value of eco-environmental index of all counties in Lanzhou City appeared in 2015, and Grassland and Farmland occupied by a large amount of construction land is the main reason for the deterioration of ecological environment quality.
