A Case Study of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway
CONVERTER MAGAZINE Volume 2021, No. 5 Study on the Influence of Road Network on the Spatial Distribution of Tourism Resources – A Case Study of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway Bo Zhang1,2, Boming Tang1, Liangyu Zhou3, Ke Huang4 1 School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China 2 School of Art Design, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China 3 School of Traffic & Transportation, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China 4 College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China Abstract Objectives: The Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway is one of the most well-known scenic byway in China. Researching on the mechanism of action between the routes and tourism resources nodes of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway network, will benefit the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway’s development by changing the development patterns of the Scenic Byway from “point-line” to network, and will be helpful to promote the integration of tourism resources along the route, furthermore to construct the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway as a destination of all-for-one tourism. Methods: Based on the spatial design network analysis (sDNA model), GIS spatial analysis and other methods, the current study analyzed regional tourism resources and the spatial characteristics of road network morphology along the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway, and explored the influence of road network forms on the spatial distribution of tourism resources and its spatial spillover effect by combining with spatial econometric model. Results: The distribution pattern of tourism resources along the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Road is “dense at both ends and sparse in the middle”, and the “Matthew Effect” is significant. -
3 Year on Sichuan Earthquake Response
3 Year On Sichuan Earthquake Response Executive Summary: Introduction On 20th April 2013, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Lushan County of Ya’an City in Sichuan province at 8:02 am local time (GMT +8). In the epicenter, most houses were either damaged or collapsed; public services were suspended, while water and electricity supply were cut. The disaster was declared as a CAT III, National Office Response. Immediate emergency response was carried out after the quake in Lushan, Baoxing and Tianquan. World Vision moved into rehabilitation phase since 2014, and extended its coverage to Hongya and Jiajiang Counties. In third year of response, World Vision continued our recovery work in Baoxing and Jiajiang Counties.

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. -

PhytoKeys 108: 117–129. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.108.25600 Abstract Species delimitation in the genus Populus is particularly challenging due to high levels of intraspecific polymorphism as well as frequent interspecific hybridisation and introgression. In this study, we aimed to examine the taxonomic status of Populus ningshanica and P. wulianensis using an integrative taxonomy that considers multiple operational criteria. We carried out morphometric analyses of leaf traits and genetic examinations (including sequence variations at five barcoding DNAs and polymorphisms at 14 nuclear microsatellite SSR primers) at the population level between them and two closely related species P. adenopoda and P. davidiana. Results suggest that P. wulianensis belongs to the polymorphic species, P. adenopoda and should be considered as a synonym of the latter. P. ningshanica may have arisen as a result on the hybridisation between P. -

SICHUAN EARTHQUAKE ONE YEAR REPORT May 2009 unite for children SICHUAN EARTHQUAKE ONE YEAR REPORT May 2009 1 SICHUAN EARTHQUAKE ONE YEAR REPORT May 2009 FOREWORD Minutes after picking up seismological reports of a major tremor in the vicinity of Chengdu, UNICEF China and the global UNICEF Operations Centre in New York began to gather information on the situation of children. Those activities laid the foundation for what has since become a full-fledged emergency response to the 12 May 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The huge scale of the devastation along a swath of territory running from central Sichuan to southern Gansu quickly prompted a major government mobilization. The Government of China worked around the clock to organize and undertake a massive rescue and relief operation to save lives and address the needs of earthquake survivors. The government’s TABLE OF CONTENTS response was impressive in its speed, scope of mobilization, and resource inputs. The scale of damage riveted attention as media reports and citizen 1 Foreword blogs carried the story to a stunned world. It quickly became clear that the public response to this disaster would be on a scale quite different 3 Introduction from previous major disasters in China. Immediately, a national wave of concern and support materialized, and it was not unusual to see cars and 5 Maps buses filled with food, water and volunteers making their way to Sichuan to offer whatever help they could. Scenes of young volunteers – taking 6 Key Principles leave from their schools and jobs – working day and night to provide services for earthquake victims were witnessed all over Sichuan.
