  • Resident Mobility Analysis Based on Mobile-Phone Billing Data

In the past few years, some innovative approaches have sought to use mobile devices to collect spatiotemporal data. In this paper we analyze spatial- temporal characteristics of resident mobility in the city of Shenzhen, using a data set captures for a seven-day period of more than one million anonymous mobile-phone users. In addition, we propose a method of recognizing the location of employment based on this kind of data and then plot an employment distribution map of Shenzhen. This method provides a new way to observe the employment distribution in a city. Understanding resident mobility from a city-wide perspective could provide researchers with convenience to forecast the traffic demand and take measures to traffic management, and could also lead to more informed decision making in both city planning and mass transit planning. ©© 20132013 The Authors.

This research is an attempt to unfold the current situation of women’s development within such context by studying the case of Guangdong -- the province as forerunner of China’s economic reform and opening-up -- drawing on current primary resources. First, this study reveals mixed results for women’s development in Guangdong: achievements have been made in education, employment and political participation in terms of “rates” and “numbers,” and small “breakthroughs” have taken place in legislation and women’s awareness of their equal rights and interests; however, limitations and challenges, like disparities between different women groups in addition to gender disparity, continue to exist.

Abstract. Along with the rapidly increasing pressure of urban transportation, China's subway operation is facing the challenge of high-density passenger flow. In order to improve the level of subway operation and ensure its safety, it is necessary to analyze and study the operation status of the metro station under the condition of high-density passenger flow, and propose the corresponding improvement scheme. Taking Guangzhou Metro as the study object, this paper discusses and analyzes the operation and management status of Guangzhou Metro Station. And combined with the risks and deficiencies in the operation and organization of Guangzhou metro, effective improvement measures are proposed in this paper. Operation Status of Guangzhou Metro The first line of Guangzhou Metro opened on June 28, 1997, and Guangzhou became the fourth city in mainland China to open and operate the subway. As of April 26, 2018, Guangzhou Metro has 13 operating routes, with 391.6 km and 207 stations in total, whose opening mileage ranks third in China and fourth in the world now. As of July 24, 2018, Guangzhou Metro Line Network had transported 1.645 billion passengers safely, with an average daily passenger volume of 802.58 million, an increase of 7.88% over the same period of 2017 (7.4393 million).

  • “Who Caused This? Is This Fair?”: a Multi-Modal
    “WHO CAUSED THIS? IS THIS FAIR?”: A MULTI-MODAL ETHNOPOETIC ANALYSIS OF CANTONESE ORAL NARRATIVE AND RHETORIC by Herman H. Leung San Francisco State University ENG 895 squib submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MA English (Linguistics) Fall 2011 Supervising Committee: Rachelle Waksler, Chair Professor, Linguistics Program David Olsher Associate Professor, TESOL Program ENG 895 SQUIB A MULTI-MODAL ETHNOPOETIC ANALYSIS LEUNG 2 Abstract This study contributes to a growing body of multi-modal ethnopoetic research by incorporating analyses of paralinguistic features and their contribution to discourse structure. The study investigates the poetic structuring of a minimally interrupted stretch of spontaneous polemical speech from a well-known Hong Kong social activist. The data comes from a Cantonese television program which interviews prominent and controversial social figures in an intimate living-room setting, and the stretch of speech was prompted by a question regarding the plight of the lower class during a time when Hong Kong society was experiencing a widening gap between the rich and the poor. The monologue is part of a discourse of resistance against predominant social and government views on the poor, and contains two poignant personal narratives. Textual, prosodic, and gestural features are examined and they are found to be used jointly to structure the flow of the narratives as well as arguments in the data. Findings suggest the speaker employs these multi-modal resources to create a predominance of three- and five- part patterns that are parallel between the narratives and the overall argument structure. The narratives are found to play a central role in the development of the arguments, both semantically and structurally, and are intricately linked to the rhetorical effect of the entire stretch of speech.

The Suzhou National High-tech District tram was investigated as a J6 case study. Two key findings are highlighted. Firstly, the new tramway was routed along the “path of least resis- P2 tance”–avoiding dense urban areas, to reduce conflict with cars. Secondly, regarding urban transport integration, R3 four perspectives were evaluated, namely planning and design, service operation, transport governance and user R4 experience.
