Submitted by RTI International i Introduction Health Policy Initiative/Greater Mekong Region and China (HPI/GMR-C) has worked in Yunnan since February 2008 to strengthen the policy response to HIV and AIDS. Provincial partners include the Yunnan Provincial AIDS Bureau and the Yunnan Center for Disease Control (CDC). In 2009–2010, HPI/GMR-C will broaden its work to strengthen the legal environment in Yunnan. In October 2008, two legal consultants (Mr. David Patterson of Canada and Mr. Jia Ping of Beijing, China) visited Yunnan and collected information from key stakeholders to make recommendations for HIV law programming over the next two years. The first part of this report provides the findings from the mission. The second part provides an overview of the laws and regulations relating to HIV and AIDS in Yunnan. Thanks are due to the people who were interviewed for providing their time and insights to the researchers. However, the information and views expressed in this report are the responsibility of the researchers and do not necessarily reflect the views of HPI/GMR-C or of any of the persons interviewed. Findings and Observations A) The HIV-related policy and legal framework in China and particularly in Yunnan has evolved in recent years to be more consistent with international law and best practice. However the implementation of this framework, particularly to prohibit discrimination against people living with HIV (PLHIV), remains challenging at both the central and provincial levels. Key reforms at the central level, such as the 2006 State Council Regulations on AIDS Prevention and Control and the 2007 Narcotics Control Act, reflect international best practice in many aspects. Similarly, the 2006 Yunnan Provincial AIDS Control and Prevention Regulations also reflect international best practice in some areas, such as the prohibition of discrimination against PLHIV. However, discrimination against PLHIV still persists in many aspects of daily life. Reasons include ignorance of the law, lack of understanding of HIV epidemiology (i.e., unreasonable fears of HIV infection), moral judgments about commercial sex and drug use, and so-called customer preference arguments by employers. (“Customer preference” is sometimes given as a reason for discrimination by employers in the service sector [e.g., restaurants] who fear that they will lose business if they employ PLHIV.) It appears that the law has done little to reduce HIV-related discrimination in Yunnan. There have been no court decisions on HIV discrimination, possibly because PLHIV are unwilling to disclose their identity though court action. To protect the identity of vulnerable clients, lawyers can request the court to allow a pseudonym to be used. Lawyers can also request a court order to prohibit disclosure of the names of HIV-positive litigants by the media. These techniques have been used in other countries and could be used in Yunnan. USAID | Health Policy Initiative IQC Legal Assessment Report—Yunnan, China. Submitted by RTI International 1 B) Conflicts still exist between (i)Laws, policies, and practices intended to reduce the spread of HIV infection and other health and social harms associated with HIV infection and AIDS, and (ii)Laws, policies, and practices intended to eliminate drug use and sex work, and maintain public order (sometimes used against men who have sex with men [MSM]). Informants working with injecting drug users (IDUs) noted that Public Security Bureau (PSB) practices sometimes undermine public health interventions such as methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) and needle and syringe programs (NSP). It was reported that PSB officers sometimes require random urine samples to detect illegal drug use from persons attending MMT clinics or NSP outreach services. If a positive result is found, the person may be immediately detained in a compulsory detoxification center (where MMT is not available.) This can deter clients from attending MMT and NSP services and increases the likelihood that they will revert to heroin use and share injection equipment. Representatives of groups working with MSM noted that clients have complained of police harassment in public places and discrimination at work if their sexuality is disclosed. Although the informants did not identify the direct link between increased self- esteem and safer sexual practices, this link has been made in other countries. Improved self-esteem is an important component of behavior change in this group. The law has a limited but important role to play in addressing harassment and discrimination. Persons working in the legal system need information about the public health approach to HIV infection in Yunnan. Joint protocols can be developed on how the PSB and the Public Health Bureau (PHB) will cooperate regarding MMT and NSP sites, condom outreach services, and other interventions. C) Court action can also be useful in establishing precedents

  • Delineation of the Urban-Rural Boundary Through Data Fusion: Applications to Improve Urban and Rural Environments and Promote Intensive and Healthy Urban Development
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Delineation of the Urban-Rural Boundary through Data Fusion: Applications to Improve Urban and Rural Environments and Promote Intensive and Healthy Urban Development Jun Zhang * , Xiaodie Yuan, Xueping Tan and Xue Zhang School of Architecture and Planning, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] (X.Y.); [email protected] (X.T.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As one of the most important methods for limiting urban sprawl, the accurate delineation of the urban–rural boundary not only promotes the intensive use of urban resources, but also helps to alleviate the urban issues caused by urban sprawl, realizing the intensive and healthy development of urban cities. Previous studies on delineating urban–rural boundaries were only based on the level of urban and rural development reflected by night-time light (NTL) data, ignoring the differences in the spatial development between urban and rural areas; so, the comprehensive consideration of NTL and point of interest (POI) data can help improve the accuracy of urban–rural boundary delineation. In this study, the NTL and POI data were fused using wavelet transform, and then the urban–rural boundary before and after data fusion was delineated by multiresolution segmentation. Finally, the delineation results were verified. The verification result shows that the accuracy of Citation: Zhang, J.; Yuan, X.; Tan, X.; delineating the urban–rural boundary using only NTL data is 84.20%, and the Kappa value is Zhang, X. Delineation of the 0.6549; the accuracy using the fusion of NTL and POI data on the basis of wavelet transform is Urban-Rural Boundary through Data 93.2%, and the Kappa value is 0.8132.

    International Conference on Engineering Management, Engineering Education and Information Technology (EMEEIT 2015) Measuring the Increase and Loss of the Public Facility Welfare ——A Case of Kunming City Fan Jun1 Xu Ning1 12013 doctoral students,School of Earth Sciences and Resources , China University of Geosciences, Beijing. Zip code, 100083. 2CECEP New Material Investment Co., Ltd. Zip code, 100082. KEY WORD:Public welfare facilities; space welfare; spatial differentiation ABSTRACT: The welfare of public facilities space is part of residential space welfare. The spatial difference of public facilities causes the difference of public facilities space welfare and the spatial differentiation. In this paper, the establishment of public facilities space welfare maximization model is combined with the Kunming regional characteristics, and then the largest public welfare facilities configuration space is determined. Introduction With the development of society, on the one hand there exists social differentiation, and the spatial differentiation emerged on the other hand. In the meanwhile, when spatial differentiation develops to a certain stage, it may lead to spatial mismatch. Spatial mismatch hypothesis, originally proposed by Kain (1968), it discussed that the employment dispersion of American cities contributed to African Americans’ low-income and high unemployment phenomenon. The study included Ellwood (1986); Ihlanfeldt and Sjoquist (1990, 1991); Ihlanfeldt (1992), (1993); Holzer ect (1994); Zax and Kain (1996), who focused on living environment and employment of vulnerable groups [1] - [7]; Brueckner (1997) analyzes the equilibrium under the spatial mismatch [8]. In China, the number of researchers were relatively few, they are Zhou Jiangping(2004), Li Chunbin (2006), Qian Yingying (2007), Zheng Siqi (2007) and Ma Guanghong (2008) and so on.
