  • The Standardization of Procedures in Village Committee Elections
    The Standardization of Villager Committee Election Procedures Survey Analysis of the 5th Round of Villager Committee Elections in 40 Villages from Five Counties in Jilin Province Sun Long and Tong Zhihui I. Survey Background, Purpose, and Methodology Chinese villager committee elections have entered a phase of legalization and standardization, as indicated by the formal promulgation of the Organic Law on Villager Committees in 1998. Jilin Province is the birthplace of the haixuan method of villager committee elections. Haixuan, or “sea election,” means that candidates are not predetermined by higher- level government offices or leaders but nominated by villagers having the right to vote. Final candidates are then determined according to the number of nominations each individual receives. (Wang Zhoutian, 1995) As early as 1986, a portion of Lishu County, Jilin Province began using the haixuan method. By the 4th round of village committee elections in 1997, 86.8% of all villages in Jilin Province had moved to the haixuan method. (Jilin Province People’s Congress Internal Affairs and Justice Committee, et al., 2001) In November 2000, the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress in Jilin Province ratified the Jilin Province Measures for the Election of Villager Committees , standardizing many procedures in villager committee elections. Under the guidance of these Measures, the 5th round of villager committee elections in Jilin Province were held between November 2000 and March 2001. To determine how well the election procedures had been implemented in the villager committee elections, in July 2001 the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA) Department of Basic- Level Governance and Community Construction conducted a survey of 790 cadres and villagers in 40 villages randomly selected from five counties in Jilin Province.

As the main carrier and manifestation of elements, mobility such as people and material, traffic flow is of great significance for understanding the characteristics of spatial connection. In this paper, Harbin-Changchun agglomeration proposed by China's New Urbanization Plan (2014-2020) is taken as a research object. With the data of intercity passenger traffic flow including highway and railway passenger trips between 73 county-level spatial units in the research area, a traffic flow model is constructed to measure the intensity of spatial connection.

    2019 8th International Conference on Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (SSEHR 2019) Research on Evaluation of Regional Sustainable Development Level Based on AHP——Taking Jilin Province as an Example Ke Li1, Yijia Liu2 1Shanxi University of Finance & Economics, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics, Shanxi, China 2School of Applied Mathematics, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics, Shanxi, China Keywords: analytic hierarchy process, regional sustainable development level Abstract: Based on the analysis of the status quo of sustainable development in Jilin Province, the comprehensive evaluation index system of sustainable development level in Jilin Province is constructed from three aspects: economic subsystem, social subsystem, and resource environment subsystem. The level of sustainable development in the 8 cities of Jilin Province. The results show that Changchun City, Baishan City, Liaoyuan City, and Songyuan City have reached a sound sustainable development level, and Jilin City, Tonghua City, Baicheng City, and Siping City are generally sustainable development level. Finally, corresponding suggestions are made for the sustainable development level of cities and towns in Jilin Province. 1. Introduction The term “sustainable development” first appeared in the “World Conservation Outline” formulated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1980 [1]. In 1987, “Our Common Future” was submitted to the UN General Assembly to propose the concept of “sustainable development formally” mode. “Sustainable development” is defined as “a development that meets the needs of the present and does not constitute a hazard to the ability of future generations to meet their needs.” It is a comprehensive concept covering economic, social, resource and environmental aspects.

  • The Urban Transition Performance of Resource-Based Cities in Northeast China

In this article, we introduce a new method of evaluating the urban transition performance of resource-based cities from economic, social and eco-environmental perspectives. A total of 19 resource-based cities in Northeast China are studied from 2003 to 2012. The results show that resource-based cities in Jilin and Liaoning provinces performed better than those in Heilongjiang province. Liaoyuan, Songyuan and Baishan were ranked as the top three resource-based cities; and Jixi, Yichun and Heihe were ranked last. Multi-resource and petroleum resource-based cities performed better than coal and forestry resource-based cities. We also analyzed the factors influencing urban transition performance using the method of the geographic detector. We found that capital input, road density and location advantage had the greatest effects on urban transition performance, followed by urban scale, remaining resources and the level of sustainable development; supporting policies and labor input had the smallest effects.
