    2018 International Conference on Advanced Chemical Engineering and Environmental Sustainability (ICACEES 2018) ISBN: 978-1-60595-571-1 Investigation on the Remaining Situation of West Post Road in the Ancient City of Jinyang—Taking the Ancient Village of Zhoujiazhuang, The First Station in the West of Taiyuan as an Example Chong-En Wang and Wen Bin Fan ABSTRACT Through the field investigation, site visit and other methods, this paper analyzes the ancient village of Zhoujiazhuang, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is found that the ancient village is located in the ancient post road when going out of the ancient city of Jinyang in the west, and it is a very important link in the post road. There are many historical and cultural relics around the ancient village. Through the collection and arrangement of the building information and documents, the paper analyzes the surrounding environment and architectural layout of the ancient village, so as to provide the basis for the protection and utilization of the traditional village as well as the sustainable development strategy.1 KEYWORDS The Ancient Village of Zhoujiazhuang, Fengyu Valley; The Ancient Post Road, Engraved Rock.

  • Relationship Between Urban Heat Island Effect and Land Use in Taiyuan City,China
    MATEC Web of Conferences 63, 04024 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/20166304024 MMME 2016 Relationship between urban heat island effect and land use in Taiyuan City,China Shu Ting LI 1, Jia LI 1,a and Ping DUAN 1 1School of tourism and geographical science,Yunnan normal university,Kunming,China Abstract˖The land surface temperature is inversed by Landsat remote sensing images of 2000, 2009 and 2015 years in Taiyuan, China. The mono-window algorithm is used to remove the influence of the atmosphere. The land surface thermal radiation intensity is obtained by the mono-window algorithm. Then the land surface true temperature is converted by the land surface thermal radiation intensity. At the same time, the remote sensing images of Taiyuan city in three time periods are classified by supervised classification method. Finally, the relationship between different years of Taiyuan land surface temperature and land use change is analysed. The results show that Taiyuan city land surface temperature is positively correlated with land use. The land surface temperature is higher when the land is frequently used. Taiyuan city land surface temperature is negatively correlated with vegetation coverage. The land surface temperature is lower when the higher vegetation is covered in the area. 1 Introduction north south, East and west across 114km, north-south span is about 107KM.

    Online Supplementary Document Song et al. Causes of death in children younger than five years in China in 2015: an updated analysis J Glob Health 2016;6:020802 Table S1. Description of the sources of mortality data in China National Mortality Surveillance System Before 2013, the Chinese CRVS included two systems: the vital registration system of the Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) (the former Ministry of Health) and the sample-based disease surveillance points (DSP) system of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The vital registration system was established in 1973 and started to collect data of vital events. By 2012, this system covered around 230 million people in 22 provinces, helping to provide valuable information on both mortality and COD patterns, although the data were not truly representative for the whole China [55]. DSP was established in 1978 to collect data on individual births, deaths and 35 notifiable infectious diseases in surveillance areas [56]. By 2004, there were 161 sites included in the surveillance system, covering 73 million persons in 31 provinces. The sites were selected from different areas based on a multistage cluster sampling method, leading to a very good national representativeness of the DSP [57, 58]. From 2013, the above two systems were merged together to generate a new “National Mortality Surveillance System” (NMSS), which currently covers 605 surveillance points in 31 provinces and 24% of the whole Chinese population. The selection of surveillance points was based on a national multistage cluster sampling method, after stratifying for different socioeconomic status to ensure the representativeness [17, 58].
