The Project will include four components: (i) Wuhan Sludge Treatment and Disposal, (ii) Wuhan New Zone Lake/Channels Rehabilitation and Pumping Station, (iii) Yangchun Lake Secondary Urban Center Lake/Channel Rehabilitation, and (iv) Institutional Strengthening and Capacity Development. Rivers and lakes are abundant (rivers and lakes surface take up about one quarter of the urban area) in Wuhan, which largely determine the urban landscape and development of the City. The Project will be implemented in Hanyang and Hongshan districts. Wuchang District is potentially impacted because it located in the downstream of the component of the Wuhan New Zone Lake/Channels Rehabilitation and Sixin Pumping Station. Longyang Lake, Moshui Lake, Sanjiao Lake, Nantaizi Lake and some other small lakes are located in Hanyang district. There are also many lakes such as South Lake, Tangxun Lake and Huangjia Lake, etc. in Hongshan District.The total number of beneficiaries of the project is 2,000,745, including 1,000,373 women, 24,009 poor people and 20,007 ethnic minorities. The number of beneficiaries is shown in Table 1-1.

The city government soon strictly locked down the city, implemented a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, and took a series of unprecedented pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical measures. The residents’ access to the medical resources and the consequently potential demand– supply tension may determine effective diagnosis and treatment, for which travel distance and time are key indicators. Using the Application Programming Interface (API) of Baidu Map, we estimated the travel distance and time from communities to the medical facilities capable of treating COVID-19 patients, and we identified the service areas of those facilities as well. The results showed significant differences in service areas and potential loading across medical facilities. The accessibility of medical facilities in the peripheral areas was inferior to those in the central areas; there was spatial inequality of medical resources within and across districts; the amount of community healthcare Citation: Zhou, Z.; Xu, Z.; Liu, A.; Zhou, S.; Mu, L.; Zhang, X.

  • Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes' Distribution Based On
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Evaluation of the Fairness of Urban Lakes’ Distribution Based on Spatialization of Population Data: A Case Study of Wuhan Urban Development Zone Jing Wu *, Shen Yang y and Xu Zhang y School of Urban Design, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China; [email protected] (S.Y.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] These authors contributed equally to the research. y Received: 14 November 2019; Accepted: 4 December 2019; Published: 8 December 2019 Abstract: Lake reclamation for urban construction has caused serious damage to lakes in cities undergoing rapid urbanization. This process affects urban ecological environment and leads to inconsistent urban expansion, population surge, and uneven distribution of urban lakes. This study measured the fairness of urban lakes’ distribution and explored the spatial matching relationship between service supply and user group demand. The interpretation and analysis of Wuhan’s remote sensing images, population, administrative area, traffic network, and other data in 2018 were used as the basis. Specifically, the spatial distribution pattern and fairness of lakes’ distribution in Wuhan urban development zone were investigated. This study establishes a geographic weighted regression (GWR) model of land cover types and population data based on a spatialization method of population data based on land use, and uses population spatial data and network accessibility analysis results to evaluate lake service levels in the study area. Macroscopically, the correlation analysis of sequence variables and Gini coefficient analysis method are used to measure the fairness of the Wuhan lake distribution problem and equilibrium degree, and the location entropy analysis is used to quantitatively analyze the fairness of lakes and Wuhan streets from the perspective of supply and demand location entropy.

  • Ill-Health and Ill Treatment of Gong Shengliang
    AI Index: ASA 17/008/2005 Distrib: PG/SC To: Health Professionals From: Health and Human Rights Team Date: 17 March 2005 MEDICAL ACTION CHINA: Ill-health and ill treatment of Gong Shengliang Amnesty International (AI) is seriously concerned for the life and well being of Gong Shengliang, a Protestant pastor and leader of the banned "Huanan (South China) Church", who is imprisoned in Hongshan prison, Hubei Province. Gong Shengliang's latest health setbacks are compounded by the continual ill-treatment he has received since his imprisonment in 2001. During his imprisonment, Gong Shengliang has suffered continual ill-treatment. According to letters that he wrote in the first two weeks of December 2004, which have only recently been published on the internet, Gong Shengliang describes how he was suffering from a debilitating stomach complaint, and how he had been able to only take a little food and water for at least 11 days. Gong Shengliang had been treated at the prison hospital five times and on 6 December 2004 asked to be admitted to a hospital outside the prison. However, this request was refused by the prison authorities, who, on one occasion, threatened Gong Shengliang with what were described as "heavy-handed measures". The prison authorities later agreed to Gong Shengliang’s request and he then received treatment at a provincial hospital and an army hospital, following which he was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer. Throughout this time, Gong Shengliang had been refused visits from his family. Background information Gong Shengliang
