  • Application of AHP Method and TOPSIS Method in Comprehensive Economic Strength Evaluation of Major Cities in Guizhou Province
    2017 International Conference on Computer Science and Application Engineering (CSAE 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-505-6 Application of AHP Method and TOPSIS Method in Comprehensive Economic Strength Evaluation of Major Cities in Guizhou Province Liang Zhou*, Changdi Shi and Liming Luo Information Engineering College, Capital Normal University, 100048 Beijing, China ABSTRACT This paper establishes the comprehensive economic strength evaluation system of major cities in Guizhou province, and puts forward the evaluation model of comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province based on the AHP method and the TOPSIS method. The AHP method was used to determine the weight of evaluation indicator. The TOPSIS method is used to calculate the positive and negative ideal solutions, analyses the case, and then the final ranking of the comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province. The result shows that the final ranking, from high to low, of comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province is: Guiyang, Zunyi, Liupanshui, Tongren and Anshun. The evaluation system of the comprehensive economic strength indicator of the major cities in Guizhou province has a certain practicability, which provides an evaluation basis in comprehensive economic strength for the major cities in Guizhou province. INTRODUCTION In recent years, with the establishment of large data centers and the promulgation of precision poverty alleviation policies, the national economy and social development of the major cities in Guizhou have made breakthrough progress, but the cities developed unevenly, so it is necessary to explore how to establish a good and scientific comprehensive economic evaluation system. This paper is focused on evaluating the comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province effectively.

  • People's Republic of China FY2017 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese
    People's Republic of China FY2017 Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan Project “Guizhou Province Environment Improvement and Education Project” External Evaluators: Toshihiro Nishino/Ayako Nomoto, International Development Center of Japan Inc. 0. Summary The project aimed to improve environment and hygiene, and to develop human resources in local farming villages and suburban cities in 12 national poverty-stricken counties in Guizhou Province by constructing or improving facilities for (i) environmental measures such as methane gas facilities, waste and disposal facilities, and reforestation; (ii) hygiene measures such as roads for daily use, water supply, and medical services; and (iii) senior high school buildings. The project has been consistent with China’s development plans and development needs as well as with Japan’s ODA policy. Therefore, the relevance of the project is high. Although the project cost was within the plan, the project period significantly exceeded it. Therefore, the efficiency of the project is low. The effectiveness/impact is high. Indicators set to measure quantitative effects such as culling of forests, flooded area, volume of soil erosion, percentage of population served water, number of patients, volume and percentage of waste disposed, and senior high school enrollment rate have largely achieved targets or improved. As to qualitative effects, improvements in the environment (including living environment) such as the decrease in the collection of firewood and charcoal, improvement of medical services, improvement of hygiene as well as effects of education have been observed. As for impacts, a decrease in the population of rural poverty, regional economic development, sustainable environmental and social development, and a reduction in the women’s household workload have been observed.

Abstract: The construction and development of the expressway network has far-reaching significance for the economic growth of Guizhou Province. In this paper, ArcGIS was used to calculate the nodal accessibility, daily accessibility and regional average accessibility of the expressway network in Guizhou Province, and the evolution of the spatial pattern of accessibility under the influence of expressways in Guizhou Province from 2012 to 2019 was analyzed through three different dimensions of accessibility indicators. The results show that with the continuous construction of expressways, the accessibility of the whole province continues to improve. Guiyang, as the provincial capital city, improved the accessibility of expressways the most during the last 7 years. However, due to the inequality of resources, there are still spatial differences in traffic capacity between cities and cities.

Rosen Received: 17 May 2016; Accepted: 24 August 2016; Published: 29 August 2016 Abstract: A scientific definition of the type of mountain area and an exploration of the spatial correlation between different types of mountain areas and regional land use at the county level are important for reasonable land resource utilization and regional sustainable development. Here, a geographic information system was used to analyze digital elevation model data and to define the extent of mountainous land and types of mountain areas in Guizhou province. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to study the spatial coupling relation between the type of mountain area and land use degree in Guizhou province at the county level. The results were as follows: (1) Guizhou province has a high proportion of mountainous land, with a ratio of mountainous land to non-mountainous land of 88:11. The county-level administrative units in Guizhou province were exclusively mountainous, consisting of eight semi mountainous counties, nine quasi mountainous counties, 35 apparently mountainous counties, 13 type I completely mountainous counties, and 23 type II completely mountainous counties; (2) The land use degree at the county level in Guizhou province have remarkable spatial differentiation characteristics.

Beyond Ownership: State Capitalism and the Chinese Firm CURTIS J. MILHAUPT*&WENTONG ZHENG** Chinese state capitalism has been treated as essentially synonymous with state- owned enterprises (SOEs). But drawing a stark distinction between SOEs and privately owned enterprises (POEs) misperceives the reality of China’s institutional environment and its impact on the formation and operation of large enterprises of all types. We challenge the “ownership bias” of prevailing analyses of Chinese firms by exploring the blurred boundary between SOEs and POEs in China. We argue that the Chinese state has less control over SOEs and more control over POEs than its ownership interest in the firms suggests. Our analysis indicates that Chinese state capitalism can be better explained by capture of the state than by ownership of enterprise.
