  • Natural Disaster's Impact Evaluation of Rural Households' Vulnerability
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Agriculture and Agricultural Science Procedia 1 (2010) 52–61 International Conference on Agricultural Risk and Food Security 2010 Natural Disaster’s Impact Evaluation of Rural Households’ Vulnerability: The case of Wenchuan earthquake Mengjie Sunϛ, Baofeng Chenϛ*, Jinzheng Renϛ, Tingting Changϛ ϛEconRmicV˂ Management College, China Agricultural University, Box 573, No.17 Tsinghua East Road, Beijing 100083, P R China Abstract The relationship between Agricultural risks and rural poverty is always a central issue for anti-poverty policies designing. Natural disasters risk is a common form of agricultural risks in china. The paper estimates the extent that the natural disaster has impacted on household vulnerability in the stricken areas. To discover the different characteristics associated with vulnerability between pre-disaster and post-disaster, we regressed vulnerability against a set of geographical and household characteristics. The paper shows that although a relatively small number of household have average revenue below the poverty line after attaining the government post-disaster subsidy, a much larger number of households have a greater probability of being poor in the future. There are some different characteristics associated with vulnerability between pre-disaster and post-disaster. This research will explore the implications for the design of effective poverty reduction policy for post-disaster reconstruction in the case of Wenchuan earthquake. © 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V. Keywords: China; Household Poverty Vulnerability; Measurement; Affecting Factors; Earthquake 1. Introduction Since 1990s, the international community has put forward the poverty reduction direction targeting at creating opportunity, empowering and reinforcing safety security of poor people. Lowering the vulnerability to poverty has become an important content of anti-poverty research.

  • Lithofacies Palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China
    Journal of Palaeogeography 2014, 3(4): 384-409 DOI: 10.3724/SP.J.1261.2014.00063 Lithofacies palaeogeography and sedimentology Lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region, China Jin-Xiong Luo*, You-Bin He, Rui Wang School of Geosciences, Yangtze University, Wuhan 430100, China Abstract The lithofacies palaeogeography of the Late Permian Wujiaping Age in Middle and Upper Yangtze Region was studied based on petrography and the “single factor analysis and multifactor comprehensive mapping” method. The Upper Permian Wujiaping Stage in the Middle and Upper Yangtze Region is mainly composed of carbonate rocks and clastic rocks, with lesser amounts of siliceous rocks, pyroclastic rocks, volcanic rocks and coal. The rocks can be divided into three types, including clastic rock, clastic rock-limestone and lime- stone-siliceous rock, and four fundamental ecological types and four fossil assemblages are recognized in the Wujiaping Stage. Based on a petrological and palaeoecological study, six single factors were selected, namely, thickness (m), content (%) of marine rocks, content (%) of shallow water carbonate rocks, content (%) of biograins with limemud, content (%) of thin- bedded siliceous rocks and content (%) of deep water sedimentary rocks. Six single factors maps of the Wujiaping Stage and one lithofacies palaeogeography map of the Wujiaping Age were composed. Palaeogeographic units from west to east include an eroded area, an alluvial plain, a clastic rock platform, a carbonate rock platform where biocrowds developed, a slope and a basin. In addition, a clastic rock platform exists in the southeast of the study area. Hydro- carbon source rock and reservoir conditions were preliminarily analyzed based on lithofacies palaeogeography.

  • An Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Urbanization Patterns in Northwest China
    land Article An Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Urbanization Patterns in Northwest China Haifen Lei 1,2, Jennifer Koch 2 and Hui Shi 1,* 1 School of Environmental and Municipal Engineering, Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology, Xi’an 710055, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 September 2020; Accepted: 19 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract: Chinese metropolitan areas have been experiencing urbanization over the past decades, impacting biodiversity, carbon emissions, urban heat islands, and food security. Yet, systematic research on spatio-temporal urbanization patterns and drivers along the urban–rural gradient is rarely reported for northwest China. Here, we use land-use data from 1980 to 2015 to explore land-use change, urbanization intensity, and drivers in northwest China. Our results display direct and indirect effects of urban expansion on farmland loss, but also spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the urbanization patterns. While the earlier years were dominated by infill and land conversion close to city centers, the later years displayed sprawling urbanization following the constraints of terrain and administrative boundaries at the cost of farmland. Our regression analysis of spatial variables found a strong relationship with urban planning factors. The spatial analysis of urbanization patterns revealed indirect land-use change on former farmland. Furthermore, we found that regional geography and historic sites considerably influenced land conversion. Overall, our findings indicate the need for sustainable planning strategies that synthesize approaches to farmland and historic site protection and consideration of regionally specific landscape characteristics.

  • Predicting Suitable Habitat of the Chinese Monal (Lophophorus Lhuysii) Using Ecological Niche Modeling in the Qionglai Mountains, China
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Crossref Predicting suitable habitat of the Chinese monal (Lophophorus lhuysii) using ecological niche modeling in the Qionglai Mountains, China Bin Wang1,*, Yu Xu2,3,* and Jianghong Ran1 1 Sichuan University, Key Laboratory of Bio-Resources and Eco-Environment of Ministry Education, College of Life Sciences, Chengdu, China 2 Guizhou Normal University, College of Life Sciences, Guiyang, China 3 Pingdingshan University, School of Resources and Environmental Sciences, Pingdingshan, China * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Understanding the distribution and the extent of suitable habitats is crucial for wildlife conservation and management. Knowledge is limited regarding the natural habitats of the Chinese monal (Lophophorus lhuysii), which is a vulnerable Galliform species endemic to the high-montane areas of southwest China and a good candidate for being an umbrella species in the Qionglai Mountains. Using ecological niche modeling, we predicted current potential suitable habitats for the Chinese monal in the Qionglai Mountains with 64 presence points collected between 2005 and 2015. Suitable habitats of the Chinese monal were associated with about 31 mm precipitation of the driest quarter, about 15 ◦C of maximum temperature of the warmest month, and far from the nearest human residential locations (>5,000 m). The predicted suitable habitats of the Chinese monal covered an area of 2,490 km2, approximately 9.48% of the Qionglai Mountains, and was highly fragmented. 54.78% of the suitable habitats were under the protection of existing nature reserves and two conservation gaps were found.

Due to the abundance of source rocks and Permian; Paleozoic; Accumulation conditions; the multi-term tectonic movements in this area, the hydrocarbon accumulation model is relatively complex, which has Accumulation Model. become the main problem to be solved urgently in oil and gas exploration. Based on the different tectonic backgrounds of the middle Permian in northwest Sichuan Basin, the thrust nappe belt, the hidden front belt, and the depression belt are taken as the research units to comb and compare the geologic conditions of the middle Permian reservoir. The evaluation of source rocks and the comparison of hydrocarbon sources suggest that the middle Permian hydrocarbon mainly comes from the bottom of the lower Cambrian and middle Permian, and the foreland orogeny promoted the thermal evolution of Paleozoic source rocks in northwest Sichuan to high maturity and over maturity stage.

In just 12 seconds, more than 170 towns, including those in the proximity of Chengdu City, were either destroyed or badly damaged. More than 45 million people were affected by the earthquake—the worst natural disaster to hit China in 30 years. ISG Capital Management, Ltd. (―ISG‖) is a private equity real estate investment firm based in Shanghai, China and in New York. Our team is made up of highly experienced real estate professionals. We at ISG are especially saddened by the tragedy due to our longstanding relationship with the disaster area. Many of our staff are either from that region or have close friends and relatives still living there. Some staff members have been working on development projects around Chengdu and elsewhere in Sichuan for years. Our founder, Li Li, began her career as a high school teacher in the 1980s and is from a family of educators whose hometown is Chengdu. Our close ties to the stricken region and our real estate expertise have led us to the conclusion that the best long- term contribution that ISG can make to help the people affected by this tragedy is to rebuild a school for the children of Dayi County.
