In Suining, all contracts for the construction of various roads, bridges and drainage works have been completed or substantially completed. All these works are supporting improved access and development of Xining District, as well as a related link road to a rail station. In Yibin, both roads (Route A and B) and two bridges have been opened to traffic and have improved the transportation and promoted the development zone of Linggang Industrial Public Disclosure Copy District. In Panzhihua, all roads were completed and opened to traffic, including bridges and tunnels, which have greatly reduced travel times and improved accessibility to expansion areas of the city, thereby reducing congestion in the downtown area, which was a major bottleneck. The works under the sewerage component experienced some technically challenging construction but are all completed and treatment capacity has been increased, improving environmental conditions in the city. Mianyang’s progress is somewhat lagging as a result of the impacts of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and resulting project restructuring in August 2011. All contracts in the Southern Economic Development Zone have been substantially completed and opened to traffic. The improved access and overall infrastructure conditions have helped increase land sales and revenues. In Pioneer Park, most roads have been opened to traffic and have improved access, benefiting land sales. The only ongoing construction is in the Xinglong Area where works are moving forward, but are experiencing some delays due to slow resettlement and land acquisition progress.

In the Sichuan province, livelihood security and social development are particularly sensitive to changes in the sloping farmland, due to the region’s large portion of hilly territory and its over-dense population. In this study, we focused on spatiotemporal change of the sloping farmland and its driving forces in the Sichuan province. Sloping farmland areas were extracted from geographic data from digital elevation model (DEM) and land use maps, and the driving forces of the spatiotemporal change were analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that, from 2000 to 2015, sloping farmland decreased by 3263 km2 in the Sichuan province. The area of gently sloping farmland (<10◦) decreased dramatically by 1467 km2, especially in the capital city, Chengdu, and its surrounding areas.

This paper summarizes the Ms 6.0 earthquake disaster that occurred in Changning, Sichuan Province, China, on 17 10 June 2019. Additionally, a description of the disaster emergency response is provided. As determined by on-site investigation and analysis, the direct causes of earthquake casualties are summarized. Among them, 66% of the casualties can be attributed to substandard seismic protection, 25% to improper earthquake risk avoidance, 6% to earthquake-induced geological disasters, and 3% to pre-existing diseases exacerbated by the earthquake. Responding to the causes of these four casualty types, we summarize 4 lessons, which are to build in accordance with seismic protection requirements; strengthen publicity and 15 education awareness of earthquake emergency evacuation and training for the population; investigate and evaluate potential geological disaster sources in the stricken area, along with conducting prevention and control; establish cooperation with health organizations, focusing on people who are older or have serious illnesses and conducting earthquake evacuation training and psychological counselling. 1 Disaster characteristics and disaster situation 20 An Ms 6.0 (Mw 5.8) earthquake struck Changning County, Yibin City, Sichuan Province, China, at 22:55:43 on 17 June 2019 (14:55:43 UTC on 17 June 2019).

  • RESEARCH Eastern Margin of Tibet Supplies Most Sediment to The
    RESEARCH Eastern margin of Tibet supplies most sediment to the Yangtze River Gregory K. Wissink* and Gregory D. Hoke DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCES, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, 204 HEROY GEOLOGY LABORATORY, SYRACUSE, NEW YORK 13244, USA ABSTRACT Zircon provenance studies of modern and ancient fluvial systems help reveal the relative contributions and importance of upstream sediment sources. A 2014 study of detrital zircon U-Pb age distributions from the Yangtze River (China) and its tributaries proposed a strong anthropo- genic control on sediment flux. Those data, along with other data from the region, were reanalyzed using multiple detrital zircon U-Pb age distribution comparison techniques and a distribution-mixing model to construct an improved and quantitative view of provenance. The variability in the Yangtze River trunk stream U-Pb age distributions is evaluated with respect to trunk-to-trunk stream comparisons, trunk-to- tributary comparisons, and in mixture models that consider tributary and bedrock contributions, the latter using a comprehensive compilation of bedrock source terranes. Uniformity in the zircon age distribution of the Yangtze River trunk stream is established in the upper reaches, downstream of the first bend, and maintained by the left-bank tributaries to its outlet. Whether considering the bedrock source terranes or only the modern Yangtze River sediments, the major source of sediments contributing to Yangtze River is clearly the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau (e.g., Songpan Ganze complex, Longmenshan Range), where rock uplift rates are high. The purported increase in anthropo- genic impact on sediment yield in the lowlands, at least as viewed through detrital zircon age distributions, is insignificant.

Ⅰ. The Main Characteristics of the Urbanization Development in Sichuan The reflection of urbanization in essence is from the industry cluster to population cluster., we tend to divided the process of urbanization into four stages, 1949-1978 is the first stage, 1978 – 1990 is the second stage, 1990 -2000 is the third stage, After the year of 2000 is the fourth stage. In view the particularities of the first phase, this paper researches mainly after three stages. 1. The level of the urbanization enhances unceasingly. With the reform and opening-up and the rapid development of social economy, the urbanization in Sichuan has significant achievements. The average annual growth of the level of urbanization is 0.8 percent in the twelve years of the second stage. The average annual growth in the third stage and the four stages is individually 0.5 and 1.3 percentage. The average annual growth of urbanization in the fourth stage is faster respectively 0.5 and 0.8 percent than the previous two stages which reflects obviously the rapid rise of the urbanization after the fourth stage in Sichuan.

  • Planning and Construction History of Panzhihua During the Three-Front Strategy Period: Backgrounds, Process, and Mechanism
    PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION HISTORY OF PANZHIHUA DURING THE THREE-FRONT STRATEGY PERIOD: BACKGROUNDS, PROCESS, AND MECHANISM BIN XU, LINXING XIAO Address: School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 100084. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The western region, which contains 60% of the nation’s land and also is rich in natural resources, always holds an important strategic position in China. In the Republican period, Sun Yat-sen proposed the “National Development Strategy” aiming to bring China into the world capitalism system based on the development of the western region. During the War of Resistance against Japan, key industries were forced to move into inland China. Therefore the Republican government determined the strategy concentrating on the development of Sichuan and Chongqing. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Mao’s government accepted the aid from the Soviet Union. During the “First Five-year Plan”, 156 key projects were carried out in the northwestern region close to the Soviet Union. That was the first time the P.R.C government changed the industrial layout from eastern coastal region to western inland areas. Later in the 1960’s, both northern and southern borders of China were under the military threats from the Soviet Union, the U.S.A, Indian and Vietnam. In that situation, the government adopted a regional policy called the “Three-Front Strategy”. Its aim is to render China’s fledgling industries immune from attack by hiding them “in the mountains, in dispersion and in caves” of the western regions, such as Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
