Initial Exploration of a Protection System for Historical and Cultural Towns and Villages in Hainan, China
Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XV 297 INITIAL EXPLORATION OF A PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES IN HAINAN, CHINA WANG ZHENYU Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China ABSTRACT The long course of Chinese national history runs from a remote source. Since China has a vast territory, different regions formed a variety of regional cultures with different natural environments and era evolutions. Historical and cultural towns and villages not only exist as individual entities, but also as integrated urban and rural settlements and regional cultures. This paper presents the methodologies for the protection of historical towns and villages in the phase of systematic planning in Hainan Province. The research begin with looking at Hainan’s regional culture, adopting the research method of anthropology and regional heritage to retrace the culture of Hainan’s towns and villages, analysing the status quo, and on this basis, building a framework of Hainan historical towns and villages in promotion of its rational protection and development. Keywords: historical and cultural towns and villages, land use, Meso-scale space unit, non-motor- vehicle travel. 1 INTRODUCTION Hainan is a tropical island in southern China with beautiful scenery; its special natural environment has created an exotic culture. Today, most people see Hainan as an international scenic spot; however, less attention is paid to Hainan’s culture and traditions, which, to some extent, results in a lack of cultural construction. Historical and cultural villages and towns are important space carriers of Hainan culture; therefore, the construction of provincial-level historical and cultural towns and villages to protect the historical and cultural heritage of Hainan is essential.

ISLAND from Hainan’S Early History Into the Twentieth Century
CHAPTER 1 CULTIVATING AND EXPLOITING A “PRIMITIVE” ISLAND From Hainan’s Early History into the Twentieth Century his chapter provides some of the cultural, political, economic, and social Tlandscape of early Hainan, including the islanders’ complex relation- ship with mainlanders and other external observers in the early twentieth century. Rather than a strict chronological telling of Hainan’s history, I lay out some characteristics of the island and its place in the region and the world. In addition, using mostly contemporary accounts, I develop some of the most prominent and recurrent themes in the island’s history through the early twentieth century. In chapter 2, I begin a more chronological exploration of Hainan’s history. An Outsider’s Story It is often in violence toward unwelcome visitors that we first hear anything at all from the Hainanese in the early historical record. Until the twentieth century, like many regions at the margins of empire, Hainan island’s native inhabitants could not tell their own stories beyond their home region. The indigenous Li people and the settled Han Chinese of the island had their history written for them by guests, some welcome and some not. These voices are heard only indirectly in descriptions of battles or magistrates’ records of the interrogations of captives.1 Only in the 1920s did Hainanese actors begin to make their own voices heard in sustainable political terms, advocating their position as loyal, but increasingly autonomous, members of the Chinese polity. Before the 1920s, for written sources on Hainan, we must look to the stories told by the island’s guests—the outsiders’ stories.

Pearl River Delta Demonstration Project
Global Water Partnership (China) WACDEP Work Package Five outcome report Pearl River Delta Demonstration Project Pearl River Water Resources Research Institution December 201 Copyright @ 2016 by GWP China Preface The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is the low-lying area surrounding the Pearl River estuary where the Pearl River flows into the South China Sea. It is one of the most densely urbanized regions in the world and one of the main hubs of China's economic growth. This region is often considered an emerging megacity. The PRD is a megalopolis, with future development into a single mega metropolitan area, yet itself is at the southern end of a larger megalopolis running along the southern coast of China, which include Hong Kong, Macau and large metropolises like Chaoshan, Zhangzhou-Xiamen, Quanzhou-Putian, and Fuzhou. It is also a region which was opened up to commerce and foreign investment in 1978 by the central government of the People’s Republic of China. The Pearl River Delta economic area is the main exporter and importer of all the great regions of China, and can even be regarded as an economic power. In 2002, exports from the Delta to regions other than Hong Kong, Macau and continental China reached USD 160 billion. The Pearl River Delta, despite accounting for just 0.5 percent of the total Chinese territory and having just 5 percent of its population, generates 20 percent of the country’s GDP. The population of the Pearl River Delta, now estimated at 50 million people, is expected to grow to 75 million within a decade.

23. New Urbanisation in China: a Multidimensional Perspective— Empirical Analysis of 289 Prefecture and Higher-Level Cities
23. New urbanisation in China: A multidimensional perspective— Empirical analysis of 289 prefecture and higher-level cities Biliang Hu and Kunling Zhang Since the first city came into being, the study of cities has been incessant. With the deepening of social divisions of labour and the expansion of industrialisation, urbanisation has become the dominant trend of the times and its study has become increasingly contested. The main stimulus of China’s traditional urbanisation process is industrialisation, which is reflected in its export and investment-oriented economic growth model. However, in the process of promoting urbanisation, the mode of extensive industrial production caused a series of economic and social problems, including serious resource waste and environmental pollution. The deepening trend of population ageing has led to a declining demographic dividend—a dilemma for the export-oriented manufacturing industry, in which cheap labour is the main competitive advantage. Government-led large-scale infrastructure and investment in fixed assets are unsustainable, leading to a much faster rate of land urbanisation than that of population. In addition, the household registration (hukou) system disadvantages migrant workers in urban areas, resulting in unequal distribution of public services between urban residents and rural and regional migrant workers. Therefore, China’s traditional pattern of urbanisation has reached a turning point in its development and faces a crucial transformation. Working out how to break through the dilemma of the traditional mode of urbanisation and embark on a path of new urbanisation with Chinese characteristics—a sustainable and people-centred model of urbanisation—have become important tasks for China in the new era.

Urban Anomalies in Response to Rainstorms Based on Smartphone
1 Urban anomalies in response to rainstorms based on smartphone location data: a 2 case study of eight cities in China 3 Jiawei Yi1,2, Yunyan Du1,2*, Fuyuan Liang3, Tao Pei1,2, Ting Ma1,2, Chenghu Zhou1,2 4 1State Key Laboratory of Resources and Environmental Information System, Institute of 5 Geographic Science and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China 6 2University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China 7 3Department of Geography, Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL, USA 8 *Corresponding author: [email protected] 9 10 Abstract 11 This study explored city residents’ collective geo-tagged behaviors in response 12 to rainstorms using the number of location request (NLR) data generated by 13 smartphone users. We examined the rainstorms, flooding, NLR anomalies, as well as 14 the associations among them in eight selected cities across the mainland China. The 15 time series NLR clearly reflects cities’ general diurnal rhythm and the total NLR is 16 moderately correlated with the total city population. Anomalies of NLR were 17 identified at both the city and grid scale using the S-H-ESD method. Analysis results 18 manifested that the NLR anomalies at the city and grid levels are well associated with 19 rainstorms, indicating city residents request more location-based services (e.g. map 20 navigation, car hailing, food delivery, etc.) when there is a rainstorm. However, 21 sensitivity of the city residents’ collective geo-tagged behaviors in response to 22 rainstorms varies in different cities as shown by different peak rainfall intensity 23 thresholds. Significant high peak rainfall intensity tends to trigger city flooding, which 24 lead to increased location-based requests as shown by positive anomalies on the 25 time series NLR.
