I am greatful to Dr. Lucas, my supervisor, and Penny Kane, my adviser, for their energetic and valuable supervison over the entire period I was engaged in this study. I would like to thank Dr. Ruzicka, Dr. G. Jones, Dr. G. Santow and Dr. T.Hull for our many discussions related to my study. My thanks also go to Ms. C. McMurray and Dr. A1asdair.Gibb for the English correction of my thesis and to Ms. C. Mehkek f o r her much h e lp . I would also like to thank Dr. W. Mertens, former adviser to the Population Research and Training Program in China (1980-183). Without his help I could not have studied in Australia. Finally, my greatest thanks are to my wife, Mrs. Yang Huaiguang , and to my friends in China who helped me to collect and code the original data set. iv ABSTRACT This thesis falls naturally into two parts. The first part is concerned with the level and trend of fertility in Huaibei Plain, Anhui province, China since 1950 and the second with the examination of some determ inants of f e r t i l i t y d ec lin e . It makes use of data from the 1/1000 Survey of China which was conducted by the Family Planning Commission in 1982. The data used in th is th e sis are for one area in Anhui province, China, namely Huaibei Plain. In the first part, fertility transition in Huaibei Plain is examined. It is found that the greatest decline in marital fertility occurred among women aged 35+ under the influence of the family planning program. In the second part, some determinants of fertility decline are examined. Fertility decline among younger women (under age 30) is largely due to later age at marriage. Consequently, the nuptiality pattern of Huaibei Plain has changed from an early and universal marriage to a later and universal marriage pattern. Examination of current use of contraception suggests that the family planning program, in particular, the one-child policy(1979), has been the major determinant in fertility decline. Fertility decline among older women (35+) is primarily due to contraceptive practice. The influence of the one-child policy is so strong that it has almost eliminated the differentials in contraceptive use by education and occupation under certain circumstances; for example, for women who are under age 45 and have more than two children. i Table of Contents DECLARATION ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii ABSTRACT 1.

In the 1950s Mao Zedong, the former chairman, even pointed out that a large and growing population was in no way disadvantageous in the context of the Chinese revolutionary regime. Apart from this, the concealment of the 1964 census and population data made it extremely difficult for scholars both inside and outside China to study the Chinese population situation. Very little was known about the demography of China in the past. Numerous attempts have been made to evaluate China's demographic situation, but few have provided satisfactory answers. Many writers have estimated the size of the total population and a few have estimated the levels of fertility and mortality. Some constructed theoretical models of population growth by age and sex to study population changes. Demographers have tried to evaluate the demographic transition and the implementation of population policy in China from limited data and collections of statistics from magazines and newspapers. Recently the situation regarding demographic research has been 2 dramatically changed. With the unprecedented rapid population growth and its great pressure on socio-economic development, demography is evidently becoming recognized as a very important academic discipline. Meanwhile, in the past 5 years demographic data have become widely available. In particular, in 1982 the State Census Bureau conducted the Third National Population Census and, shortly after, the State Family Planning Commission conducted the One in 1000 Fertility Survey (the 1/1000 survey), both with the assistance of UNFPA.

In order to quantitatively assess the capacity of regional agriculture system to reduce losses from drought disasters under complex conditions and to identify vulnerability indexes, an assessment and diagnosis model for RADR was established. Firstly, this model used the improved fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to determine the index weights, then proposed an assessment method based on connection number and an improved connection entropy. Furthermore, the set pair potential based on subtraction was used to diagnose the vulnerability indexes. In addition, a practical application had been carried out in the region of the Huaibei Plain in Anhui Province. The evaluation results showed that the RADR in this area from 2005 to 2014 as a whole was in a relatively weak situation. However, the average grade values had decreased from 3.144 to 2.790 during these 10 years and the RADR had an enhanced tendency.

  • Research on Logistics Efficiency of Anhui Province
    2019 4th International Workshop on Materials Engineering and Computer Sciences (IWMECS 2019) Research on Logistics Efficiency of Anhui Province Han Yanhui School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, P. R. China [email protected] Keywords: Logistics efficiency; DEA model; Anhui province Abstract: China's logistics industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and logistics efficiency is the main indicator that reflects the level of logistics development. This article first illustrated the situation of logistics development in Anhui Province and established an index system for evaluation of logistics efficiency, including four input indicators, the number of employees in the logistics industry, the mileage of graded roads, investment in fixed assets in the logistics industry and education expenditure, as well as two output indicators, the freight turnover volume and the added value of the logistics industry; then use the CCR-DEA and BCC-DEA models to evaluate the logistics efficiency of 16 cities of Anhui province. The results show that there is a phenomenon of unbalanced logistics development. Among them, Suzhou, Chizhou, and Anqing have low logistics efficiency, which is the bottleneck that limits the improvement of logistics efficiency in Anhui Province. 1. Introduction With the growth of China's economic level and the continuous transformation of economic growth pattern, the development level of logistics industry has become an important index to measure the comprehensive development level of a region. Anhui province is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river and the Huaihe river. Together with Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, forms the Yangtze river delta urban agglomeration.

  • Establishment of Trees in the Subsidence Trough Filled with Fly Ash in Huaibei Mining Areas
    Establishment of trees in the subsidence trough filled with fly ash in Huaibei mining ares1 by Shu-Li Zhou, Qi-Feng Zhang and Xin-Min Zhao2 ABSTRACT Fly ash filled subsidence is a practical method for subsidence land reclamation in China. About 200 hectares of subsided lands have been reclaimed by this method Huaibei mining area. This p[paper introduced the reclamation technique and its effectiveness. About 200 species of trees and shrubs were planted in the experiment site of 40 hectares which were reclaimed by this method in Huaibei Coal Mine Bureau. Among these species, 18 excellent species of trees such as locust, poplar, weeping willow were identified. The 5- aged locust had an average trunk diameter of 14.1 cm and an average height of 7.6cm. The result showed that trees could grow very well on the subsided lands filled with fly ash. Another outstanding effectiveness of this reclamation method was that the trees planted in the reclaimed lands could absorb many kind of toxic elements such as lead, fluorine and mercury from the fly ash, which eliminated the environment pollution. Also, the establishment of trees on the subsided land filled with fly ash could decrease the temperature of the soils and atmosphere, clean the air polluted by fly ash and control erosion of the reclaimed lands. Additional key words: trees, fly ash, subsidence trough, reclamation 1 Paper presented at the 10th National ASSMR Meeting: "The Challenge of Integrating Diverse Perspectives in Reclamation", Spokane, Washington, May 16-19, 1993. 2 Shu-Li Zhou is a senior Engineer, Dept.

  • Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI and the CHINESE COMMUNIST
    Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI Thomas Kampen MAO ZEDONG, ZHOU ENLAI AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP NIAS AND THE EVOLUTION OF This book analyses the power struggles within the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party between 1931, when several Party leaders left Shanghai and entered the Jiangxi Soviet, and 1945, by which time Mao Zedong, Liu THE CHINESE COMMUNIST Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai had emerged as senior CCP leaders. In 1949 they established the People's Republic of China and ruled it for several decades. LEADERSHIP Based on new Chinese sources, the study challenges long-established views that Mao Zedong became CCP leader during the Long March (1934–35) and that by 1935 the CCP was independent of the Comintern in Moscow. The result is a critique not only of official Chinese historiography but also of Western (especially US) scholarship that all future histories of the CCP and power struggles in the PRC will need to take into account. “Meticulously researched history and a powerful critique of a myth that has remained central to Western and Chinese scholarship for decades. Kampen’s study of the so-called 28 Bolsheviks makes compulsory reading for anyone Thomas Kampen trying to understand Mao’s (and Zhou Enlai’s!) rise to power. A superb example of the kind of revisionist writing that today's new sources make possible, and reminder never to take anything for granted as far as our ‘common knowledge’ about the history of the Chinese Communist Party is concerned.” – Michael Schoenhals, Director, Centre for East and Southeast Asian Studies, Lund University, Sweden “Thomas Kampen has produced a work of exceptional research which, through the skillful use of recently available Chinese sources, questions the accepted wisdom about the history of the leadership of the CCP.
