It is one of the three main sections of "The National Artery Highway Configuration Planning"approved by the state council. The total length of the proposed highway is 237.588km, including 140.733kmof expressway, 97.182km of class-two highway. The total estimated cost is 4,117,000,000 RMB yuan with inclusion of 1,660,000,000RMB yuan of the WorldBank Loan. In recent years, the regional economy in the study section grows rapidly and commodities in inland provinces of Southwest are put into the world markets more and more through seaports. In addition,the poorer regions in the northwest of Guangxi need to get rid of poverty and become rich. However,the existing Shui-Nan Highway is operating well below an acceptable level of service for the above mentioned purposes. Therefore, a new high class highway is urgently needed. Wuming, Mashan, Duan and other counties require that the proposed highway pass through their territories to bring the advantages of the fast efficient and comfortable high class highway into full play. The projected highway will also promote the regionaleconomy to overcomepoverty and get better off. In July 1993, Xian Highway University, entrusted by Guangxi Communication Division (GCD) compiled the EIA of the project. In August and September 1996, the EIA panel made the first field reconnaissance and survey and collected the data concemed, based on which the outline of EIA was compiled. In June 1997, the assessment center of the State EnvironmentalProtection Administration (SEPA) evaluated the outline from technology perspective. Afterwards, a reply on the review of the outline from the SEPA was received.In September 1998, the IdentificationMission of the World Bank offered technical guidance about the outline of EIA. In the same month, the panel made the second survey and investigation. Late November, 1998, the panel of assessment,based on the commentsof the specialists of the Bank, introducedthe outline of the EIS to the public along the study area, pointing out the major potential impacts of the construction on the environment,and also had the hearings of the public, and based on it the panel worked out the EIA. Early December, 1998, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency of the MOC held a prereview meeting on the EIA in Nanning. In the end of December, 1998, the panel made an introduction to the EIA to the public in the areas affected by the proposed project. As a result, the public concerned was informedof the mitigative measures as well as the potential impacts resulting fiom the projected highway. After collected the opinions from the masses again, and based on the co,mmentsof the specialists of the prereview meeting and the new edition of the "Project Feasibility Study Report of the HechiFJ(Shuiren)ODuanONanningHighway" of Dec. 1998, the panel of EIA completed the Statement of EIA (Edition for Review & Approval)in January, 1999 to submit to the State Environmental Protection Bureau and the World Bank for examination. In March and August, 1999, We have received some good recommendations in contents from The World Bank EP experts before our new revision. We have had generous help from various departments or local govemments for which we express our genuine thanks. (g£) . ..

  • The Use of Social Capital in Organizing the Frog Festival Of
    doi: 10.14456/jms.2018.4 The Use of Social Capital in Organizing the Frog Festival of Baying Village in the Context of Cultural Tourism Development1 Houdian Yaa and Jaggapan Cadchumsangb* abFaculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Khon Kaen University Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This article deals with the use of social capital in organizing the Frog Festival in a Zhuang ethnic village in China amidst the expansion of cultural tourism. The data used were drawn from qualitative research in Baying Village, Donglan District, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China. Key informant interviews as well as participant and non-participant observations were the main data collection techniques employed in the field research. The study found that there are three forms of social capital-namely, networks, norms, and trust-employed in the organization of the Frog Festival, which has become a part of China’s cultural tourism development. Social capital in the form of networks includes bonding networks among relatives, bridging networks between Baying residents and Zhuang outside the village, and linking networks between Baying villagers and the state as well as agencies from outside. Of the three forms of network, bonding is the most important because it connects not only those who have genealogical relationships, but also Zhuang dwellers from nearby villages to actively take part in organizing the festival. The research also indicates key roles of the other two categories of social capital-norms and trust-used in the organization of the Frog Festival which have allowed for its success in Baying and generated strong social networks.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

  • BLACK NEPHRITE JADE from GUANGXI, SOUTHERN CHINA Qian Zhong, Zongting Liao, Lijian Qi, and Zhengyu Zhou
    FEATURE AR ICLES BLACK NEPHRITE JADE FROM GUANGXI, SOUTHERN CHINA Qian Zhong, Zongting liao, lijian Qi, and Zhengyu Zhou Twelve black nephrite samples collected from the Guangxi region of southern China were investigated by standard gemological testing, polarized microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron microprobe analysis, as well as infrared, Raman, and ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared spectroscopy. Originating from Ca-skarn contact metaso- matism between limestone bearing siliceous rock and diabase intrusions, black nephrite from Guangxi consists mainly of actinolite or ferro-actinolite and minor stilpnomelane, andradite, apatite, epidote, quartz, diopside, pyrrhotite, and pyrite. Its high refractive index (1.625–1.650) and specific gravity (3.015–3.405), as well as its black color in natural light for plate samples and greenish yellow/brownish yellow or pale green/yellowish green/green color in transmitted light for thin-section samples, are primarily attributable to a high iron content: 11.67–25.75 2+ wt.% Fe oxides and a Mg/(Mg + Fe ) ratio of 0.765–0.343.

Through a survey of watershed managers and a literature analysis, it was found that water diversion projects should be the top priority of water resource management by considering the recovery construction of water diversion projects. Case studies of WRDSs in the South-to-North Water Diversion (SNWD) and Pearl River Basin are discussed in this article. The results show that total water consumption management (WCM), water quality monitoring and management (WQMM), minimum discharge flow management (MDFM), and water dispatch management (WDM) modules should be considered in WRDSs. Finally, strategies and needs for resolving water resource management problems are discussed, along with other applications of WRDSs in China.

    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 68 International Symposium on Social Science and Management Innovation (SSMI 2018) Analysis on Optimization Model of Hongshuihe Longtan Coal Dump Transportation System Xiaolei Liu, Bo Ma, Kai Luo China Academy of Transportation Science Transportation Development Research Center (Center for Finance and Finance Research), Beijing 100029, China Abstract. The Hongshui River is an important part of the southwest waterway to the mid-sea channel. It is the hinterland of the “two rivers and one river” in Guizhou, which is rich in resources. The downstream is a new industrial city such as guests and rivers in Guangxi. It has a prominent position in the inland waterway transportation of the Pearl River system and is one of the inland waterway channels that are under construction in China during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the shipbuilding facilities of Yantan, Dahua, Bailongtan, Letan and Qiaogong have been completed and put into use. There is already a level of navigation for the four- level channel from Longtan to Datengxia. However, the construction of the Longtan Hub navigation facilities is lagging behind, and the entire line of Hongshui River is seriously affected. The results of the “Study on the Strategy of the Red River River Longtan dam Transportation System” of the Pearl River Shipping Administration's work project of the Ministry of Transport are the basis of this paper. The development status of Hongshuihe Longtan waterway transportation system was analyzed. The principle of cost minimization is based. The economics of different dam transport schemes were studied.
