Introduction In the framework of sustainable development, how does a formerly manufacturing dominated city restructure its industry and towards what direction? This question is often asked in China. The practice is extremely different across the country due to geographical and unbalanced development. This study focuses on the district of Shijingshan, a big contributor to both air pollution and industrial GDP of Beijing. When talking about Shijingshan, people often think of the large steel plant and the Babaoshan cemetery. The former is a complex of steel plant, power plant, machinery, and construction materials and stretches up to 5 km long and two 2 km wide. The latter is a selected cemetery for the central government to condole veterans of former revolutionary battles. The main so-called tourists to the district are peoples who offer sacrifices at and come to the ancestral tomb on the day of Pure Brightness, the 5th of 24 solar terms per year, the traditionally observed Chinese festival for worshipping the ancestral grave. The Shijngshan Recreation Center’s completion attracted some kids and their accompanying parents to spend some time there.

Abstract. Tourism data mining is the process of abstracting data relations from a huge number of tourism data. It can discover the implicit knowledge and rules which hidden in data. The discovery of the semantic relation between tourism words is the important content in tourism data mining. The classical similar words calculation model skip-gram in natural language processing area is introduced in the paper. The part of speech is not considered in skip-gram so when the similar words located closely in a sentence the model cannot identify them accurately. So we provide the model of skip-gram with Chinese Part of Speech—POS-skip-gram. With the help of this model and the tourism data from elong and ctrip website, we have established the semantic relations map of tourism words. The map can be the basis of tourism data mining. Introduction The computation of similar words in the field of computer can be used to mine the semantic relationship between words in an application field. At present, there are two main methods for calculating similar words: dictionary-based method and statistics-based method. For the dictionary-based method, in the calculation of Chinese similar words, synonym word forest [1] and Hownet[2] can be used to obtain synonyms of target words.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science Empirical Essays on Real Estate, Local Public Goods and Happiness: Evidence
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Empirical Essays on Real Estate, Local Public Goods and Happiness: Evidence from Beijing Wenjie Wu A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography and Environment of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2012 1 2 3 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of around 53293 words. 4 5 Abstract This thesis explores the real estate and happiness consequences of public investment in local public goods improvements by using unique micro-geographical data from Beijing; it focuses on the spatial variations in park amenity values, and on the impact of transport improvements on land prices and homeowners’ happiness. Despite intense public interest, little is known about these effects. This thesis aims to fill these gaps. First, I explore the impact and sources of variations of park proximities as capitalized into the residential land prices. This analysis, using geographically-coded data from Beijing, provides new insights on the ways in which land markets capitalize the values of proximity to parks and suggests that this is highly dependent on the parcel’s location and local contextual characteristics.

  • Spatial Variations in Amenity Values: New Evidence from Beijing, China
    SERC DISCUSSION PAPER 113 Spatial Variations in Amenity Values: New Evidence from Beijing, China Wenjie Wu (Department of Geography & Environment, London School of Economics & Political Science) June 2012 This work is part of the research programme of the independent UK Spatial Economics Research Centre funded by a grant from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) and the Welsh Assembly Government. The support of the funders is acknowledged. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not represent the views of the funders. © W. Wu, submitted 2012 Spatial Variations in Amenity Values: New Evidence from Beijing, China Wenjie Wu* June 2012 * Department of Geography & Environment, London School of Economics Acknowledgements I am grateful to Steve Gibbons and Paul Cheshire. Thanks for advice and support to Olmo Silva, Henry Overman, Guanpeng Dong, Mark Partridge, Jouke Van Dijk, Siqi Zheng. Participants at the SERC seminar (2010), Conference of Regional Science Association International-British and Irish Section (2011), and International China Workshop on Regional, Urban, and Spatial Economics (2012) provided helpful comments on previous versions of the paper. Any remaining errors and omissions are mine. Abstract Using parks as an example, this paper explores the robustness and sources of spatial variation in the estimated amenity values using an extended geographically weighted regression (GWR) technique. This analysis, illustrated with estimates using geo-coded data from Beijing’s residential land market, has three important implications. First, it provides a powerful estimation strategy to evaluate how sensitive GWR parameters are to unobserved amenities and complementarities between amenities. Second, it compares the spatial variation patterns for the marginal prices of proximity to parks, estimated using a range of GWR model specifications.

  • China Delight
    Friendly Planet Travel China Delight China OVERVIEW Introduction These days, it's quite jarring to walk around parts of old Beijing. Although old grannies can still be seen pushing cabbages in rickety wooden carts amidst huddles of men playing chess, it's not uncommon to see them all suddenly scurry to the side to make way for a brand-new BMW luxury sedan squeezing through the narrow hutong (a traditional Beijing alleyway). The same could be said of the longtang-style alleys of Sichuan or a bustling marketplace in Sichuan. Modern China is a land of paradox, and it's becoming increasingly so in this era of unprecedented socioeconomic change. Relentless change—seen so clearly in projects like the Yangtze River dam and the relocation of thousands of people—has been an elemental part of China's modern character. Violent revolutions in the 20th century, burgeoning population growth (China is now the world's most populous country by far) and economic prosperity (brought about by a recent openness to the outside world) have almost made that change inevitable. China's cities are being transformed—Beijing and Shanghai are probably the most dynamic cities in the world right now. And the country's political position in the world is rising: The 2008 Olympics were awarded to Beijing, despite widespread concern about how the government treats its people. China has always been one of the most attractive travel destinations in the world, partly because so much history exists alongside the new, partly because it is still so unknown to outsiders. The country and its people remain a mystery.

  • Ancient Chinese Buildings
    294 CHAPTER 2: ANCIENT CHINESE BUILDINGS CHARACTERISTICS OF EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE TO ANCIENT BUILDINGS Zhang Chengyou* Ancient Chinese buildings such as palaces, temples, government offices, residential buildings, memorial gateways, dhamari columns, parks, tombs, etc., stand towering among various types of buildings over the world with their unique structural system, and national and architectural style. In the Tangshan seismic area including Tangshan District, Tianjin, Beijing and Chengde there are many ancient buildings of all types distributed extensively in the area due to past cultural development. These ancient buildings had generally suffered strong earthquakes in the past and simple records were left of the earthquake damage to some of these buildings. In the Tangshan earthquake most of these buildings suffered various degrees of damage or failure again.
