    Xi’AN Back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty Location of Xi’an Xi’an is known as Chang’an in ancient times. Having served as the capital of thirteen dynasties, this city is one of the most important places to study and review the history of China. The Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of China’s history, a period marked by great urbanism and cultural magnificence. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xi’an was the centre of Eastern civilisation. Its importance was comparable to that of Rome in the West. Xi’an’s Tang Dynasty monuments are the most famous of all, and beyond that, the city is committed to recreating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, in Xi’an, it is no longer an unattainable dream to travel back in time to the Tang Dynasty. What’s hot Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum is one of the four major museums in China. Its extensive collection of artefacts showcase 1.5 million years of Shaanxi’s history.

  • Research on PM2.5 Concentration Based on Dissipative Structure Theory
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Research on ­PM2.5 concentration based on dissipative structure theory: a case study of Xi’an, China Xiaoke Sun, Hong Chen*, Zhizhen Liu & Hengrui Chen PM2.5 pollution has become a serious urban environmental problem, especially in developing countries with increasing urbanization. Understanding the proportion of PM2.5 generation sources has laid a foundation for better ­PM2.5 concentration reduction This paper used Point of Interesting (POI)data, building profle data of Xi’an, PM2.5 concentration and wind monitoring data of fve provinces near Xi’an as the basic data. And this paper studied the spatial distribution of various buildings in Xi’an, the temporal and spatial distribution of ­PM2.5 in Xi’an and the fve provinces, and found that the spatial distribution of ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an and the building distribution in Xi’an does not match. Based on this, a quantitative model of ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an, energy consumption, wind, and other factors is established through the qualitative and quantitative analysis of ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an. Entropy theory and dissipative structure theory are applied to analyze this phenomenon. The results show ­PM2.5 in Xi’an mainly comes from the spread of ­PM2.5 in the fve provinces. The PM2.5 generated by energy consumption in Xi’an is not enough to cause serious ­PM2.5 pollution. And further suggestions on how to reduce ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an are put forward. With the rapid economic growth and development of infrastructure in developing countries, urbanization and motorization are accelerating.

Land use change on ecosystem service value(ESV) and its interaction is significant in the rapid urbanization. The GIS(Geographic Information System) incorporating with ESV equivalent factor is used to quantitatively study the change of land use change and its impact on the ecosystem service value in Hengyang central district. Further more, the Markov model is used to predict the change of land use and ESV in 2030 under the scenario of historical trend development. The results can serve as a useful tool that assists urban planners in their evaluation of ecosystem service value under the impact of land use change. 1 INTRODUCTION use is often used to predict the quantitative change of land use[9]. It is defined as follows: Ecosystem service is the natural environmental condition of human existence and development formed by S(n) = S(n − 1)P (1) ecosystem in the ecological process[1], Whose’s value can provide scientific basis for human beings to improve Where, S(n) and S(n − 1) is the state of the system at the quality of life and production[2]. Land use the time n and n-1 respectively; is the transition cover/change (LUCC) is the main cause of global probability matrix, which defined as follows: environmental change[3], which plays a decisive role in A A … A the change of ecosystem service.

Accurately identifying this boundary in a given area is an important prerequisite for studies of these areas, but previous research has used fairly simplistic factors to distinguish the two areas (such as population density). In this study, we built a model combining multi-layer conditions and cumulative percentage methods based on five indicators linking spatial, economic, and demographic factors to produce a more comprehensive and quantitative method for identifying rural and urban areas. Using Xi’an, China as a case study, our methods produced a more accurate determination of the rural-urban divide when compared to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China. Specifically, the urbanization level was 3.24% lower in the new model, with a total urban area that was 621.87 km2 lower. These results were checked by field survey and satellite imagery for accuracy.

The aim of this study was to analyze the association of BE with PA and health of Chinese women living in Lianhu District, Xi 'an. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 202 Chinese women aged 15-69 years old. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-long version (IPAQ-L) was used to evaluate PA. BE was measured by the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale - Abbreviated (NEWS-A). General linear regression models were created to assess the relationship among BE, PA and health related variables, including body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure(DBP). All the models were controlled for age. Results: Transportation PA were negatively associated with residential density( P <0.05). No signicant correlation was found between BE and leisure time PA( P >0.05).

  • Evaluation of the Equity and Regional Management of Some Urban Green Space Ecosystem Services: a Case Study of Main Urban Area of Xi’An City
    Article Evaluation of the Equity and Regional Management of Some Urban Green Space Ecosystem Services: A Case Study of Main Urban Area of Xi’an City Hui Dang 1, Jing Li 1,*, Yumeng Zhang 1 and Zixiang Zhou 2 1 School of Geography and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710119, China; [email protected] (H.D.); [email protected] (Y.Z.) 2 College of Geomatics, Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an 710054, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-137-2061-8191 Abstract: Urban green spaces can provide many types of ecosystem services for residents. An imbalance in the pattern of green spaces leads to an inequality of the benefits of such spaces. Given the current situation of environmental problems and the basic geographical conditions of Xi’an City, this study evaluated and mapped four kinds of ecosystem services from the perspective of equity: biodiversity, carbon sequestration, air purification, and climate regulation. Regionalization with dynamically constrained agglomerative clustering and partitioning (REDCAP) was used to obtain the partition groups of ecosystem services. The results indicate that first, the complexity of the urban green space community is low, and the level of biodiversity needs to be improved. The dry deposition flux of particulate matter (PM2.5) decreases from north to south, and green spaces enhance the adsorption of PM2.5. Carbon sequestration in the south and east is higher than that in the north and west, respectively. The average surface temperature in green spaces is lower than that in other urban areas.

  • Study on Temporal and Spatial Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Land Use Efficiency in Xi’An, China
    sustainability Article Study on Temporal and Spatial Variation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Land Use Efficiency in Xi’an, China Jing Huang and Dongqian Xue * School of Geographical Science and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710062, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 October 2019; Accepted: 22 November 2019; Published: 25 November 2019 Abstract: China’s urban land use has shifted from incremental expansion to inventory eradication. The traditional extensive management mode is difficult to maintain, and the fundamental solution is to improve land use efficiency. Xi’an, the largest central city in Western China, was selected as the research area. The super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and Malmquist index method were used to measure the land use efficiency of each district and county in the city from the micro perspective, and the spatial-temporal change characteristics and main influencing factors of land use efficiency were analyzed, which not only made up for the research content of urban land use efficiency in China’s underdeveloped areas, but also pointed out the emphasis and direction for the improvement of urban land use efficiency. The results showed that: (1) The land use efficiency of Xi’an reflected the land use intensive level of the underdeveloped areas in Western China, that is, the overall intensive level was not high, the gap between the urban internal land use efficiency was large, the land use efficiency of the old urban area and the mature built-up area was relatively high, and the land use efficiency of the emerging expansion area and the edge area was relatively low.
