  • Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait Through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks
    sustainability Article Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks Yan Ma * and Feng Xue School of Architecture and Urban-Rural Planning, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, Fujian, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Globalization and the spread of information have made city networks more complex. The existing research on city network structures has usually focused on discussions of regional integration. With the development of interconnections among cities, however, the characterization of city network structures on a regional scale is limited in the ability to capture a network’s complexity. To improve this characterization, this study focused on network structures at both regional and local scales. Through the lens of function and innovation, we characterized the city network structure of the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through a social network analysis and a Fast Unfolding Community Detection algorithm. We found a significant imbalance in the innovation cooperation among cities in the region. When considering people flow, a multilevel spatial network structure had taken shape. Among cities with strong centrality, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Whenzhou had a significant spillover effect, which meant the region was depolarizing. Quanzhou and Ganzhou had a significant siphon effect, which was unsustainable. Generally, urbanization in small and midsize cities was common. These findings provide support for government policy making. Keywords: city network; spatial organization; people flows; innovation network 1.

  • Research on the Color of Ancient Residential Architecture in Southern
    2016 International Conference on Civil, Structure, Environmental Engineering (I3CSEE 2016) Research on the color of ancient residential architecture in Southern Fujian and its inspiration for modern urban color application Fenghua JIN College of architecture and urban planning, FuJian University of Technology, Fuzhou City, China [email protected] Keywords: Ancient dwellings, Urban color, Architecture colors. Abstract. Study on the color of ancient residential architecture in Southern Fujian, and explore its causes and evolution, hoping to give some inspiration to the use of modern architecture color. Introduction Architectural colors and architectural forms are the products of a certain historical period. They depend on each other and complement each other. If there is no color, no order of architectural form. All of them are the basis of architectural aesthetics which is based on the principle of architectural aesthetics. Of course, it is also restricted by time and space, which is changing with time and space. Building itself is inseparable from the color, so color becomes the most direct way to express the mood of the building. The ancient dwellings in Southern Fujian are distinct in color, which is unique in Chinese traditional dwelling houses. In recent years, with the rapid development of urbanization, the traditional regional architecture color environment has been flooded, and the design and construction of the traditional Taiwanese architectural environment is changing. Therefore, it is important to study the origin and evolution of ancient residential buildings in Southern Fujian, explore the color factors of our own national architecture, and have important significance to the modern city construction and the construction of local architecture.

  • Fujian Province – Putian – Corruption – Demonstrations – Petitioners – Disturbing Public Order Offences – Public Surveillance – Police 17 February 2010
    Country Advice China China – CHN36164 – Fujian Province – Putian – Corruption – Demonstrations – Petitioners – Disturbing public order offences – Public surveillance – Police 17 February 2010 1. Deleted. 2. Are there any reports on the petitioning or demonstrating by citizens against local/district level government corruption in Putian or Fujian, and treatment of them by police and the authorities? Please provide information on what may happen more generally in China to such people. There are media and human rights reports on the petitioning and demonstrating by citizens against local/district level government corruption in Putian and Fujian dated from 2004 to 2009. These reports indicate police have detained leaders who have pursued, over several years, anti-corruption complaints via petitioning and/or demonstrations, and courts in Putian have sentenced them to 2-3 years imprisonment for disturbing social order. Those represented by protest leaders have been intimidated, threatened and placed under surveillance. Putian City authorities have detained and imprisoned for two to three years on public order offences persons who have pursued formal complaints and/or petitions against local officials who allegedly committed corruption. Two cases are detailed below: In case one, a farmer from Zhuchuan village, Lin Jindian, was charged with “disturbance of public order” and sentenced to two and half years prison in August 2004 by a court in Putian City. He had pursued longstanding corruption complaints on behalf of 30-40 families against a local party secretary and officials. Prior to being charged, Jindian had pursued with county, city, provincial and national governments complaints against officials who had “embezzled public money, didn‟t stick to regulations, and levied too many taxes”, and had sold out-of- quota birth permits to families.

  • Dimensional Site Selection Methods for Regional Aquatic Products Cold Chain Logistics Center
    ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING, VOL.18, ISSUE 3/2020 COMPARISON BETWEEN SINGLE- AND MULTI- DIMENSIONAL SITE SELECTION METHODS FOR REGIONAL AQUATIC PRODUCTS COLD CHAIN LOGISTICS CENTER Youli Wang1,2 1 School of Business Administration, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, Nanchang 330013, China 2 Applied Economics Postdoctoral Research Station of Jiangxi Publishing Group, Nanchang 330013, China E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper innovatively employs the quantified Boston matrix to reassess the regional fishery competitiveness of Fujian, a southeastern province of China, using the indices and weights in the six-dimensional quantitative assessment of the sites for APs cold chain logistics center. In light of the assessment results, the quantified Boston matrix under multiple dimensions were compared with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) under a single dimension. The comparison shows that the single-dimensional method achieved basically the same results with the multi-dimensional method, with some differences arising from government strategies. The multi-dimensional method can depict the competition between APs cold chain logistics centers more scientifically, intuitively, comprehensively and accurately than the single-dimensional method. KEYWORDS: AP cold chain logistics center; technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS); quantified the Boston matrix; dimension.

  • A Case Study of Putian, China
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Coordination of Marine Functional Zoning Revision at the Provincial and Municipal Levels: A Case Study of Putian, China Faming Huang 1,*, Yanhong Lin 1,2, Huixin Liang 2, Rongrong Zhao 1, Qiuming Chen 1, Jie Lin 1 and Jinliang Huang 2,* 1 Third Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Xiamen 361005, China; [email protected] (Y.L.); [email protected] (R.Z.); [email protected] (Q.C.); [email protected] (J.L.) 2 College of the Environment and Ecology, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (F.H.); [email protected] (J.H.); Tel.: +86-592-219-5001 (F.H.) Received: 11 October 2019; Accepted: 22 November 2019; Published: 3 December 2019 Abstract: Marine functional zoning (MFZ) is a type of marine spatial planning (MSP) implemented widely in China and one of the three major systems defined in the Law of the PRC on the Administration of Sea Area Use. China adopts “top-down management” for MFZ, in which upper management levels impose clear constraints and restrictions on lower levels. However, this approach has led to issues, such as a rigid MFZ classification system and unreasonable re-allocation of control indicators in the process of assigning MFZ classification at different levels. In this study, we propose and demonstrate the coordination of MFZ revision in terms of the classification system and the re-allocation of control indicators in the coastal city of Putian, China. The results show that the proposed measures could help realize the effective and reasonable coordination of MFZ revisions at the provincial and municipal levels, providing a reference for such MFZ revisions in other regions of China and the coordination of MSP between different levels in other countries.
