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.

In recent years, measures have been taken against rural environmental problems, and remarkable achievements have been made in the construction of sewage treatment facilities, but there are still some problems. This paper takes three small sewage treatment facilities in the hilly areas of Sichuan as the research object, through field research and data collection, statistical analysis and analysis of various facilities, combined with actual use, the corresponding optimization development proposals are summed up to optimize the utilization efficiency of the facilities and improve the living environment in the rural areas. The results show that the combination of A2O+MBBR is more suitable for the economy and performance at Sichuan hilly areas, but other options can be selected according to different situations to achieve the best results.

Here green hills and blue waters, cultivation in the morning and weeding in the evening, It is a quiet and peaceful southern town. In the past years, every time the festival, or when the wedding, some villagers spontaneously organize themselves, dressed in red and green, pick up a pair of small cymbals and wave them in their hands, many times there will be a small gong and drum band that play the suona alongside, if the conditions are not enough, as long as one person can also perform. The shape of this small cymbals is very similar to the dumplings that are eaten during the festival, and during the performance, both hands need to swing the rope, turn the pair of the old festival, and over the top of the head, or turn around and flip around the waist and legs, therefore, this folk dance was initially called " Fanshengjiaozi." Because Longgang Town is located in the Daba Mountain Area, it is often necessary for performers to tramp over mountains and through ravines to pick up bride, therefore, it is also called "Fanshanjiaozi".

Abstract. Promoting the construction of characteristic towns under the background of new urbanization is an important way for my country to break the bottleneck of economic development and realize economic transformation and upgrading. In recent years, although the construction of characteristic towns in Sichuan Province has achieved remarkable results and a large number, especially tourist and leisure characteristic towns accounted for the largest proportion, they still face urgent problems such as avoiding redundant construction, achieving scientific development, and overall planning. This study takes 20 cultural tourism characteristic towns selected by the first batch of Sichuan Province as the research object, combined with field research and tourist questionnaire surveys, and screened out relevant influencing factors of characteristic towns from different aspects such as transportation, economy, industry, ecology, historical and cultural heritage. Analyze the correlation with the development level of characteristic towns in order to find out the key factors affecting the development of characteristic towns of this type, provide a policy basis for the scientific development and overall planning of reserve characteristic towns in our province, and contribute to the construction of new urbanization And provide advice and suggestions on the development of tourism industry in our province.
