  • Spatial Correlation Between Type of Mountain Area and Land Use Degree in Guizhou Province, China
    sustainability Article Spatial Correlation between Type of Mountain Area and Land Use Degree in Guizhou Province, China Yuluan Zhao 1,2 and Xiubin Li 2,* 1 School of Geographic and Environmental Sciences, Guizhou Normal University, Guiyang 550001, China; [email protected] 2 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-6488-9297 Academic Editors: Fausto Cavallaro and Marc A. Rosen Received: 17 May 2016; Accepted: 24 August 2016; Published: 29 August 2016 Abstract: A scientific definition of the type of mountain area and an exploration of the spatial correlation between different types of mountain areas and regional land use at the county level are important for reasonable land resource utilization and regional sustainable development. Here, a geographic information system was used to analyze digital elevation model data and to define the extent of mountainous land and types of mountain areas in Guizhou province. Exploratory spatial data analysis was used to study the spatial coupling relation between the type of mountain area and land use degree in Guizhou province at the county level. The results were as follows: (1) Guizhou province has a high proportion of mountainous land, with a ratio of mountainous land to non-mountainous land of 88:11. The county-level administrative units in Guizhou province were exclusively mountainous, consisting of eight semi mountainous counties, nine quasi mountainous counties, 35 apparently mountainous counties, 13 type I completely mountainous counties, and 23 type II completely mountainous counties; (2) The land use degree at the county level in Guizhou province have remarkable spatial differentiation characteristics.

  • For Personal Use Only Use Personal for a Loan That Mr Zhang Claimed Had Been Guaranteed by PRC DSX
    5 May 2017 Elizabeth Harris Principal Advisor ASX Listing Compliance Level 40, Central Park 152-158 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000 Dear Ms Harris ASX Query: Ding Sheng Xin Finance Co. Limited We refer to your letter dated 24 April 2017 in which you have sought a response from the Company in relation to questions raised by the ASX regarding judgements made involving the Company’s subsidiary (“PRC DSX”) in the People’s Republic of China. In response to ASX’s queries, the Company advises as follows: 1. It is a natural consequence of the nature of PRC DSX business, being guaranteeing the repayment of loans and other specific performances, that it will be involved in legal processes. Where lenders seek recovery of loans following any default of the performance of borrowers, and that borrower is a client of PRC DSX and their repayment obligations are guaranteed by PRC DSX, PRC DSX will be named in the relevant legal processes. Accordingly, PRC DSX has been and is likely to continue to be a party to legal processes and by extension to have judgements made against it in its capacity as guarantor. PRC DSX processes are such that if a client defaults and a judgement is made against that client, and by extension PRC DSX, PRC DSX then seeks to renegotiate the terms of the obligation on behalf of the client. If that process is successful the judgement is no longer relevant and is withdrawn, however if that process is not successful PRC DSX makes the payments on behalf of the client and proceeds to seek recovery from the client.

Guizhou is a key tourist province in China. In recent years, the number of A-level scenic spots in Guizhou Province has been increasing, and the regional tourist economy has improved rapidly. The spatial distribution evolution characteristics and influencing factors of A-level scenic spots in Guizhou Province from 2005 to 2019 were measured using spatial data analysis methods, trend analysis methods, and geographical detector methods. The results elaborated that the number of A-level scenic spots in all counties of Guizhou Province increased, while in the south it developed slowly. From 2005 to 2019, the spatial distribution in A-level scenic spots were characterized by spatial agglomeration. The spatial distribution equilibrium degree Citation: Qiu, Y.; Yin, J.; Zhang, T.; of scenic spots in nine cities in Guizhou Province was gradually developed to reach the “relatively Du, Y.; Zhang, B.
