  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China a Disser
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The How and Why of Urban Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 © Copyright by Jonathan Stanhope Bell 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The How and Why of Preservation: Protecting Historic Neighborhoods in China by Jonathan Stanhope Bell Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Chair China’s urban landscape has changed rapidly since political and economic reforms were first adopted at the end of the 1970s. Redevelopment of historic city centers that characterized this change has been rampant and resulted in the loss of significant historic resources. Despite these losses, substantial historic neighborhoods survive and even thrive with some degree of integrity. This dissertation identifies the multiple social, political, and economic factors that contribute to the protection and preservation of these neighborhoods by examining neighborhoods in the cities of Beijing and Pingyao as case studies. One focus of the study is capturing the perspective of residential communities on the value of their neighborhoods and their capacity and willingness to become involved in preservation decision-making. The findings indicate the presence of a complex interplay of public and private interests overlaid by changing policy and economic limitations that are creating new opportunities for public involvement. Although the Pingyao case study represents a largely intact historic city that is also a World Heritage Site, the local ii focus on tourism has disenfranchised residents in order to focus on the perceived needs of tourists.

According to Hebei Province's actual situation, we choose 6 important variables, which reflect the regional economies level of development. By analysing the data collected, the 11 regions of Hebei Province are divided into fourtypes: the developed, the more developed, the medium and the backward. And there is large differ-ence between the four types of regions. To further promote and realize coordinated development of theHebei Province economy, we should take measures to narrow the gap including making distinctive economic zone and business circle, promoting the regional harmonious development, developing the coastal economic belt and improving the underdeveloped region self-development capabilities.

Abstract The long-established coal-based energy structure and the development mode characterized by high input, high consumption and high emission in northern Hebei can hardly sustain. Electricity alternative is an effective way to optimize the energy structure and control pollution emissions. The paper analyzes the current situation of energy consumption structure and electricity alternative in northern Hebei. It shows that despite of many problems, electricity alternative in northern Hebei enjoys a huge potential. Keywords: Northern Hebei, electricity alternative, policy, energy structure 1. Introduction In recent years the northern Hebei (Tangshan, Langfang, Zhangjiakou, Chengde and Qinhuangdao) has been nagged by environment pollution and haze. The main causes include the coal-based energy structure and the high- input, high-consumption and high-emission development mode.

Jing-Jin-Ji as one of the most serious water shortage areas in China, improving the green efficiency of water resources is the only way to solve the contradiction between supply and demand of water resources and realize the harmonious development of economy, society and ecology. Based on the Super-SBM model and geographical detector model, this paper measures the green water resources efficiency of Jing-Jin-Ji from 2008 to 2018, and analyzes the spatial and temporal differentiation. The result shows that:The efficiency of green water resources in Jing-Jin-Ji fluctuates in an unstable state, and does not reach the DEA effective state, and there is a big gap between the maximum and minimum efficiency of urban agglomeration. 1 Introduction As the basis of maintaining life and health, freshwater 2 Data and methods resources are indispensable natural resources for human survival and development. However, the research shows 2.1 Super efficiency SBM model that there are about 1.5 billion people in more than 80 countries in the world facing the shortage of fresh water, Selecting super SBM model based on unexpected output and the problem of water resources has become a major as the evaluation model of Beijing Tianjin Hebei Urban strategic issue related to national economic and social green water resources efficiency can not only effectively sustainable development and long-term stability.

As a result, the land price in an urban area is not only affected by the city’s own factors, but also by its interaction with nearby cities. Understanding the characteristics, types, and patterns of urban interaction is of critical importance in regulating the land market and promoting coordinated regional development. In this study, we integrated a gravity model with an improved Voronoi diagram model to investigate the gravitational characteristics, types of action, gravitational patterns, and problems of land market development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration region based on social, economic, transportation, and comprehensive land-price data from 2017. The results showed that the gravitational value of land prices for Beijing, Tianjin, Langfang, and Tangshan cities (11.24–63.35) is significantly higher than that for other cities (0–6.09). The gravitational structures are closely connected for cities around Beijing and Tianjin, but loosely connected for peripheral cities.

Critical Region Identification of Land Use/Land Cover based on typical ecosystem services - a case study of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration Yinglu Liu Peking University, Beijing, China ([email protected]) Contradictions between population, economic development, land and ecological environment occur frequently in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, forming a complex problem of "population - land - social economy - ecological environment" at a regional level. This study considers seven indicators, including LUCC and three typical ecosystem services, to recognize the critical regions. Through continuous experiments and adjustments of parameters, we finally determine the building methods of overlaying in a equal power, and quantificationally evaluate the land use dynamic degrees, land use extents, diversity of land use types, ecological land use ratio, carbon sequestration service, soil conservation and water production services, integrated identify critical areas of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration. We aim at realizing the coordinated sustainable development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as soon as possible, and providing the basis for land planning. The results show that the critical regions of the Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration are mainly distributed in the Yanshan and Taihang mountain regions and the surrounding towns. On the scale of county level, the first-level critical regions are mainly located in Beijing, Qinhuangdao and Chengde, and the second-level critical regions are mainly located in Chengde, Beijing, Qinhuangdao and Baoding.

Criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv):The imperial mausolea are outstanding testimony to a cultural and architectural tradition that for over five hundred years dominated this part of the world; by reason of their integration into the natural environment, they make up a unique ensemble of cultural landscapes. Criterion (vi):The Ming and Qing Tombs are dazzling illustrations of the beliefs, world view, and geomantic theories of Fengshui prevalent in feudal China. They have served as burial edifices for illustrious personages and as the theatre for major events that have marked the history of China. The Committee took note, with appreciation, of the State Party's intention to nominate the Mingshaoling Mausoleum at Nanjing (Jiangsu Province) and the Changping complex in the future as an extention to the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Ming and Qing imperial tombs are natural sites modified by human influence, carefully chosen according to the principles of geomancy (Fengshui) to house numerous buildings of traditional architectural design and decoration. They illustrate the continuity over five centuries of a world view and concept of power specific to feudal China.
