Department of Resources and Environmental Sciences, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, China Abstract Metropolitan regions of China are mainly located in the middle and lower reaches of major rivers, and a number of water bodies and wetlands are occupied by cities due to the greatly changes of land use. So, they face very serious danger of flood and it is urgent to improve the flood prevention level to reduce the flood disaster in metropolis of China. However, the practices of disaster reduction of recent 5 decades in China show that flood disaster is increasing with fluctuating, that is, the vulnerability of metropolis is heightening. Based on the analysis of flood in metropolitan regions of China, this report establishes a risk assessment system combining flood hazard and human and economic systems of Guangdong Province, South of China, as the case study area. And in addition, basic land use system and enterprise risk management system with the combination of government-enterprise (community)-insurance company are presented to balance flood disaster magnitude and vulnerability in metropolitan regions. Key words: China, Metropolitan regions, Integrated risk management system, Security system of land use, Vulnerability of flood In the developing countries, urbanization process has been accelerating, and the various kinds of disaster risk faced by the metropolitans areas with dense urban population have also been increasing (ICE, 1995). Quite the contrary, a great number of metropolitan areas in the developing countries are distributed in the areas with frequent natural hazards (ICE, 1995). Hence, the solution for integrated disaster risk management in metropolitan areas has become the important task for disasters reduction in these areas. China is one of the countries in the world with frequent flood occurrences, with also relatively wider scope of impact (Shi, 1996). In the middle and lower reaches of major rivers and delta areas which have frequent occurrences of flood, the urbanization areas with dense population and rapid economic and social development are widely distributed to form almost the jointed metropolitan areas (Yao, 1997). Over the last two decades, of reform and opening to the outside world, urbanization process in the wide ∗ TP PT Research Project Financial Supported by Transformation Century Talents Foundation of MOE, China Corresponding Address: [email protected]. range of areas in China has been accelerating, especially in most of the eastern coastal areas in the lower reaches of major rivers where the process of urbanization becomes all the more outstanding and therefore evident metropolitan areas are formed (Zhou et al., 1999). At the same time, frequency of flood disaster occurrence has obviously increased in these areas during this period (Shi et al., 1997), particularly the disastrous flood in Yangtse River and Huai River in 1991 (Shi et al., 1992; Gu et al., 1992), the disastrous floods in Yangtse drainage area, and the drainage areas of Nen Jiang River and Song Hua Jiang River in 1998 (Zou et al., 2002), which all occurred in the metropolitan areas in the eastern part of China with a great number of cities concentrated. Consequently, integrated flood management in metropolitan areas has caught high attention of the central and local governments as well as various kinds of insurance companies in China. In connection with the impact of the rapid changes of the land use pattern in the metropolitan areas on the intensification of flood in China, this paper mainly elucidates the model for land use on flood integrated management of “balance flood disaster magnitude and vulnerability in metropolitan regions”, and proposes, the enterprise flood risk management model integrating “government - enterprise (community) - insurance company”. 1. Rapid Urbanization Process in Metropolitan Areas of China Fig. 1 Population Density of China (1997) Fig. 2 Distribution of Cities of China (1995) 19 92 19 ig. 3 Distribution of nighttimes lamplight index of China (1992,1996, 1998) Notes: the fig.3 numbers means to shown in Table 1. China is a developing country. Since reform and opening to the outside world, the Chinese economy has been experiencing rapid development, which is driving the accelerated urbanization process. From 1980 to 2000, the ratio of urban population to the total national population has been increased to from only 9.2% to 19%. According to forecast, by 2010 and 2050, this ratio will reach 39% and 49%, respectively (General Team for Urban Social and Economic Survey of the State Statistics Bureau of China, 1999). As the Chinese population is mostly distributed in the eastern areas of China, where the density of population and cities and townships also basically conforms to the pattern of population distribution (See Figure 1), most metropolitan areas in China are also concentrated in eastern part of China (See Figure 2). To indicate the Chinese urbanization process and its distinct and unique regional distribution, using the DMSP/OLSD data of non-radiating nighttime lamplight index, the spatial-temporal distribution of the Chinese urbanization has been measured (Zhuo, 2002). Figure 3 presents the Chinese urbanization distribution in 1982, 1996 and 1998. Table 1. Index of Lamplight of 10 Metropolitan Areas in China N o. Name 1992 1996 1998 1 Yangtze River Delta Metropolitan Region 0.362 0.410 0.495 2 Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Metropolitan Region 0.360 0.401 0.483 3 Zhujiang Delta Metropolitan Region 0.358 0.415 0.476 4 China North Plain Metropolitan Region 0.331 0.367 0.449 5 Shangdong Peninsula Metropolitan Region 0.303 0.337 0.423 6 Central Section of Liaoning Metropolitan Region 0.282 0.313 0.357 7 Harbin-Daqing-Qiqihar Metropolitan Region 0.298 0.306 0.350 8 Wuhan Metropolitan Region 0.234 0.270 0.347 9 Central Section of Hunan Metropolitan Region 0.212 0.245 0.311 1 0 Sichuan Basin Metropolitan Region 0.196 0.254 0.300 Table 2.

Table 1 illustrates the sum index of lamplight of 10 metropolitan areas in China in 1992, 1996 and 1998. From this Figure, it is clear that Yangtse River Delta, Jing-Jin-Tang Area and Pearl River Delta are the regions with the highest degree of urbanization in the metropolitan areas in China. Table 2 shows the basic conditions of population and economy of 10 metropolitan areas in China. It is clear from the Table 1 that the three foregoing areas with the highest degree of urbanization also correspondingly have the highest GDP, and especially the density of population, GDP and industrial output value per unit area in these regions are the highest. Hence, it can be considered that the metropolitan areas in China are also the regions which have the advanced economic development. Consequently, once hit by natural disasters, losses in these metropolitan areas will be enormous. 2. Flood Intensification Process of Metropolitan Areas in China China is a country with frequent flood disasters. Property loss due to flood has been the highest among numerous natural disasters. Figure 4 presents the county-level annual average flood-times distribution pattern in China. Figure 5 and 6 offers the county-level annual average flood-times distribution pattern in China from 1949-1999 and from 1978-1998. Fig. 4 Times of County Flood in China (1949-1998) Notes: the fig.4 numbers means to shown in Table 1. Fig. 5 Times of County Flood in China (1949-1966) Fig. 6 Times of County Flood in China (1976-1998) Notes: the fig.5 and fig.6 numbers means to shown in Table 1 140 120 100 From these Figures, it is obvious that flood in 80 60 China is mainly distributed in the middle and lower times 40 reaches of major rivers in the eastern part of China. 20 What’s obvious is that the floods during the period 0 1949 1954 1959 1964 1969 1974 1979 1984 1989 1994/a of 1978-1998 were more frequent than the period of 1949-1966, which indicates that over the 20 Fig.7 Flood Times in 10 Metropolitan Areas (1949-1998) years since reform and opening to the outside world, flood in China have been increasing, and the increase of flood-times in the foregoing ten metropolitan areas in China are all the more obvious (See Figure 7 and Figure 8).

  • Dialogue Issue 4
    Newsletter of The Dui Hua Foundation THE DUI HUA DD II AA LL OO GG UU EE FOUNDATION Summer 2001/Issue 4 Despite Chill in U.S.-China Relations, Unofficial Dialogue on Rights Forges Ahead 中 Dialogue between China and the United States on human rights, be it official or un- official, has always been affected by the overall political climate between the two countries. The last official session of the US-China dialogue took place in January 1999, and was suspended by the Chinese government in response to the bombing of the Chinese Embassy by NATO warplanes in May, 1999. The official dialogue has, as this issue of Dialogue comes out, yet to be resumed, though there are signs that preliminary talks on what a new dialogue on human rights would look like and what it might realistically achieve are underway between the two governments. 美 The Dui Hua Foundation’s unofficial dialogue with the Chinese government on national security prisoners has often been knocked off course by the twists and turns of relations between Beijing and Washington. Given the bad start to US-China relations during the first three months of President Bush’s tenure, it was widely expected that cooperation between the foundation and its Chinese interlocutors would once again be curtailed. 对 In the event, the unofficial dialogue went forward. During the first five months of the new administration, Dui Hua’s Executive Director John Kamm made two visits to Beijing at the invitation of the Chinese government (March 4-8 and June 10-14, 2001).

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Through interviews and questionnaire surveys of cultural tourists in the Ancestor Temple of the Lords of the Three Mountains, Jiexi, this article analyzes the characteristics of tourist behavior characteristics of local folk belief cultural tourism from three aspects: tourist demographic characteristics, tourist behavior characteristics and post-tour satisfaction. Researches show that: (1) The source of tourists and their perception of tourist destinations are significantly affected by regions, showing the obvious characteristic of family intergenerational inheritance. The occupation of tourists is mainly business with family trips in form mostly, and the purpose of their trips is mostly to pray for blessings; (2) Local tourists have a significantly higher awareness of scenic spots. Due to family influence and personal beliefs, it is easier for them to form the habit of regular visits, which is even regarded as an important ceremony for family communication and entrusting good wishes. They are also often full of strong emotions for scenic spots, so they have a high revisit rate and a strong willingness to recommend these scenic spots. Tourists from other places get more relevant information from the Internet, and their awareness is low.

  • From Canton to Guangzhou Photographs by Felice Beato and Xu Peiwu
    From Canton to Guangzhou Photographs by Felice Beato and Xu Peiwu Gallery 16 Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery Birmingham, UK 3RD May – 10TH August 2008 The Exhibition This exhibition presents two series of photographs, taken almost 150 apart of the city of Canton / Guangzhou. The first body of work is a series of vintage photographs of city of Canton taken by the British photographer Felice Beato in 1860. These are amongst the earliest images taken by a European photographer in China. These historical photographs are just part of a significant collection of photographs, archives, books and other related material relating to China held in Birmingham Central Library and the City Archives. The second body of work is a series of images of the modern city of Guangzhou taken by the contemporary Chinese photographer Xu Peiwu: some of these will be taken in direct reference to the buildings and locations represented in Beato’s photographs. The exhibition will explore the different ways in which these two photographers documented buildings, street scenes and people in the city, and in so doing, reveal many of the dynamic changes that have occurred in the more recent process of urbanization. The exhibition is being jointly curated by Peter James, Head of Photographs, Birmingham Central Library and Dr Jiang Jeihong, Director of the Centre for Chinese Visual Arts at Birmingham City University. The exhibition will form part of a season of exhibitions staged by Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery which are being presented as part of the CHINA NOW Festival (www.chinanow.org.uk). The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of lunchtime talks organized in partnership with the Birmingham City University's Centre for Chinese Visual Arts.

It is caused by a yet unidentified heat-stable toxin. In the present review of published case studies and official press releases, the main objective is to report the emergence and epidemiology of Haff disease in China. Haff disease first occurred in Beijing in 2000 and in Lianzhou and Liannan, Guangdong Province in 2009. Subsequent outbreaks mostly occurred in the Jiangsu Province—Nanjing, Yangzhou, Huai’an, and Yancheng. Isolated outbreaks occurred in other cities since 2010—Shijiazhuang, Yueyang, Shanghai, Wuhu, Baoding, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong (imported cases from Shenzhen). Outbreaks occurred predominately in the summer. Crayfish accounted for almost all the outbreaks. Two large outbreaks occurred in Lianzhou and Liannan in 2009 (n = 54) after eating pomfrets and in Nanjing in 2010 (n = 42) after eating crayfish.
