Since the Reform and Opening- up Policy in 1978, major cities in China have experienced significant polycentric transition manifested by their new spatial policy framework and reshaped spatial structure. The polycentric transformation has provoked academics’ interests on structural and performance analysis in quantitative ways recently. However, little research investigates the nature of (re)formation and implementation of polycentric development policies in Chinese cities from a processual and critical perspective.

  • Drawing on the Design Perspective Towards an Affirmation of English As a Lingua Franca
    Englishes in Practice 2016; 3(2): 29-54 DOI: 101515/eip-2016-0002 Glenn Toh Academic Writing in a Japanese Situation: Drawing on the Design Perspective towards an Affirmation of English as a Lingua Franca Abstract The contents of this article concern ELF 500, a course in graduate school academic writing that adopts an ELF-aware approach. In my discussion, I will first review the literature on language, ideology and power as it relates to Japanese cultural politics. Following this, I will draw on the notions of critique and design as described in Lillis (2003) as critical transformative strategies to encourage student academic writers to become more conscious of: (1) the constructed and situated nature of knowledge and meaning making as viewed by scholars in the area of academic literacies; (2) the importance of their own agency towards realizing their potential as academic thinkers and writers; and (3) the importance of understanding the fluid, dynamic and performative nature of English in its role as a lingua franca as a means towards constructing meanings that are valuable and unique to their own emergent ontologies as Japanese users of ELF. My discussion is, throughout, very much motivated by a professional concern that the teaching of academic writing should be carried out within an overall pedagogical framework that recognizes the importance of the humanizing and transformative role of language education. Keywords: Critical Pedagogy, Locality, Identity and Meaning Making 29 要約 本論文では、ELF モデルを使用したアカデミック・ライティングの授業である ELF500 に関して論述する。始めに、言語・イデオロギー・権力と日本文化・政治 との関係についての先攻研究に言及する。 次に、Lillis (2003)による「批評 (critique)」と「デザイン(design)」の意味について説明する。それらは、次の 事柄に対する学生の認識をより促進するストラテジーとして述べられている。(1) アカデミックリテラシー研究者がみなしている、知識と意味形成が持つ建設的・ 状況的特徴 (2) 学術的思想家および書き手としての可能性を理解するための、自 分自身の主体性の重要性 (3)日本人英語話者にとって特有で価値のある比類ない 意味を創造するために、ELF の動的性質を理解することの必要性。この議論は、ア カデミック・ライティングの指導は、個性や言語の変容的役割の重要性を認める 教育基盤において行われるべきであるという著者の関心に基づいたものである。 キーワード:批判的教育学、地域思想、地域アイデンティティ、意味形成 1.

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.
