In this paper, basing on village governance view, setting up the corresponding indicator system and using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method ,we evaluate the supply mechanism of public goods in village level of the representative villages(communities) in Chengdu’s three spheres areas to provide some proposals on perfection of the supply decision mechanism of public goods in village level , multi-channel fund-raising mechanism and so on. Keywords: Village Public Goods, Supply Mechanism, Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method Introduction The difference in supply of public goods between the city and countryside is a major barrier to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and get well-off in rural areas. That difference not only directly affects the living standards and quality of life among rural residents, but also has a very negative impact on the improvement of rural productivity and sustainable development of the rural economy.

Results show that during the study period, the level of land intensive use and land ecological security both rose in Chengdu, the former continuing to raise, the overall increasing but some fluctuations in the latter. Dynamic coordinated degree in 10 years is between 8.99°~57.71° with a trend of rising firstly then dropping, undergoing the process from a relatively harmonious development to the best coordinated development, then to less coordinated development. From 2005, the coordinated degree between the two systems began to decline. Keywords: Urban land intensive-use, Urban land ecological security, Coordinated degree 1.

    3 PRESENT CONDITION OF ROADS AND TRANSPORT 3.1 Condition of Road Facilities 3.1.1 Existing Road Network and Classification of Roads (1) Primary Road Network in the Study Area As shown in Figure 3.1.1, the existing Primary Road network in the Study Area considers the Tianfu Square as its center and is made up of ring roads and radial roads. There are 5 ring roads at present including the existing roads and roads under construction. The existing roads include the Inner Ring Road with a radius of 2 km, the 1st Ring Road with a radius of 3 km, and the 2nd Ring Road with a radius of 4 km. There are two roads under construction, namely the 3rd Ring Road with a radius of 7 km, and the Outer Ring Road with a radius of 11 km. The construction of these two roads is underway, and most exits for expressways and main carriageway have been constructed already. It is expected that the 3rd Ring Road and the Outer Ring Road will be completed by 2001 and 2002, respectively. The Inner Ring Road has four lanes for both directions with a total road width of 25 m. The 1st Ring Road and 2nd Ring Road have not only four lanes for both directions but also a segregated bicycle lane on both sides with a total width of 40 m. Furthermore, the 3rd Ring Road and the Outer Ring Road under construction have 8 lanes and 6 lanes for both directions, respectively, with a total width of 80m.

  • Analysis of the Effects of Urban Heat Island by Satellite Remote Sensing
    ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND BY SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING Dan Shangming1 Dan Bo2 1 Sichuan Province Agrimeteorological Centre, Chengdu, Sichuan 610072, China 2 Chendu University of Information Technology, Chengdu, Sichuan 610041, China Abstract Chengdu is located in Chengdu plain within the interior of our country and has rather unique geographic and climatic characteristics. The phenomena of its urban heat islands is visually and vividly demonstrated by use of NOAA meteorological satellite AVHRR data obtained in four observations in the side, two-dimensional and three-dimensional views in this paper. The regional distribution differences of the heat island regions between day and night in Chengdu city (a super-large city) are compared. The urban heat island characteristics in 10 and more its suburb towns are analyzed statistically. Key words Satellite remote sensing and urban heat island 1. INTRODUCTION A series of the urban meteorological and urban environmental questions have been brought about by urbanization. China is a large traditional agricultural country with a large agricultural population and the underdeveloped cities and towns in its vast territory. With its economic development and modernization drive step quickening a large amount of surplus rural labour forces move to the cities and towns, accelerate the urbanization progress and this is certainly to cause the urban climatic and urban environmental changes. Therefore, it is vital for urban construction planning and urban environmental improvement to study the urban climatic conditions and forecast the urban climatic variation trends. The urban heat island phenomena is one of the key subjects to be studied for the urban climate.

  • Suitability Evaluation of County-Level Spatial Development Under The
    Suitability Evaluation of County-level Spatial Development under the Support of Geographic National Conditions Information Jiongyu MA and Dongyu REN, China ABSTRACT Suitability assessment for the spatial development is of fundamental importance in the national spatial planning, including protecting the national eco-space, rationally distributing the construction space, optimizing the spatial development pattern, etc. We establish the assessment index system, which is suitable for the spatial development of Pujiang County, by using geographical condition data, large-scale survey data, industrial special data, and industrial statistical data. During data processing, we use the GIS spatial analysis technique by choosing terrain, economic level, population density, and artery traffic as the suitability indexes, meanwhile choosing available land resources, available water resources, natural hazard, ecological vulnerability, and environmental capacity as the constraint indexes. From the aspect of the grid-based spatial scale, we particularly analyze the suitability of spatial development in Pujiang County, which involves four development levels: the most suitable, the more suitable, the less suitable, and the least suitable. Overall, each level of region occupies 4 %, 14 %, 15 %, and 67 %, respectively. The spatial suitability in Pujiang can be summarized as ‘large prohibitive development region and strong eco-system constraint’. Moreover, the suitability development level exhibits time-order character. The newly built district is gradually outward according to current status. The development potential in this County tends to gradually reduce. In contrast to previous assessment mode with the administrative district as a unit, the spatial grid-based method makes a great breakthrough, which elaborately reflects the spatial difference between the development suitability and development constraint.
