  • An Analysis of the Changing Role of Forest and Farm Income in Rural Livelihoods in China   M
    International Forestry Review Vol. 6(3-4), 2004 306 Looking through the bamboo curtain: an analysis of the changing role of forest and farm income in rural livelihoods in China M. RUIZ PÉREZz B. BELCHER, MAOYI FU and XIAOSHENG YANG z Department of Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain Center for International Forestry Research, Bogor, Indonesia Research Institute of Subtropical Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Fuyang, Zhejiang, P. R. China Email: [email protected] SUMMARY Forestry and poverty analyses in China show an ambiguous relationship. While the co-occurrence of forest rich areas and poor counties has been noted by some authors, others have stressed the role played by forestry in these areas where it is frequently one of the few options available. Our study indicates that the expansion of off-farm income is the fundamental development process taking place in many areas of rural China. Forestry can offer good income generating options to far- mers, but as the local economy develops forestry tends to be displaced by more attractive alternatives. There are niche spe- cialisation opportunities even for rich farmers, normally linked to a certain degree of vertical integration, enhanced by specific features of some forestry uses like bamboo. Keywords: rural livelihoods, poverty, forestry, bamboo, China INTRODUCTION come poverty. Average rural per capita income is 32 % of urban income, and rural living expenditure is less In the 25 years of post-Maoist reforms, China has de- than 35 % of urban living expenditure (NBSC 2003). monstrated one of the most spectacular development The nature of poverty is different in rural and urban processes of the 20th century.

  • China: Information Flow Analysis
    ~FiREEDOM OF INFORMATION REFORM IN '-----"' - CHINA: INFORMATION FLOW ANALYSIS by Weibing Xiao, BArts (History) LLM Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Tasmania, February 2010 DECLARATION OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of the candidate's knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. STATEMENT OF AUTHORITY OF ACCESS This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). oY-4 o/ (o>"J,/,o Weibing Xiao February 2010 ii ABSTRACT Most non-Chinese scholars have approached Freedom of Information (FOi) in China as a recent, strange and intriguing phenomenon. This thesis uses an array of Chinese sources, interviews with Chinese officials and citizens and information flow analysis to propose a more complex and detailed understanding of the evolution of FOi in China. The thesis argues that information flow, a theme to explore the gradual development of government receptivity to FOi in an information environment through time, can be used as a new explanatory model for FOi reform in a jurisdiction. China serves as an example to substantiate this argument. The origins of China's FOI legislation need to be understood within the context of improved information flow conditions resulting from multifaceted factors, including social, political, legal and economic ones.

  • Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History
    Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History By Jonathan Tang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair Professor Peter Zinoman Professor You-tien Hsing Summer 2019 Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History Copyright 2019 By Jonathan Tang Abstract Mutiny in Hunan: Writing and Rewriting the “Warlord Era” in Early Republican Chinese History By Jonathan Tang Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Wen-hsin Yeh, Chair This dissertation examines a 1920 mutiny in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, as a way of challenging the dominant narrative of the early republican period of Chinese history, often called the “Warlord Era.” The mutiny precipitated a change of power from Tan Yankai, a classically trained elite of the pre-imperial era, to Zhao Hengti, who had undergone military training in Japan. Conventional histories interpret this transition as Zhao having betrayed his erstwhile superior Tan, epitomizing the rise of warlordism and the disintegration of traditional civilian administration; this dissertation challenges these claims by showing that Tan and Zhao were not enemies in 1920, and that no such betrayal occurred. These same histories also claim that local governance during this period was fundamentally broken, necessitating the revolutionary party-state of the KMT and CCP to centralize power and restore order. Though this was undeniably a period of political turmoil, with endemic low-level armed conflict, this dissertation juxtaposes unpublished material with two of the more influential histories of the era to show how this narrative has been exaggerated to serve political aims.

Methods: In the present study, we designed a survey questionnaire, and collected information from 48 rural hospitals in Hunan Province, focusing on their respiratory medicine specialty (RMS), basic facilities and equipment, clinical staffing and available medical techniques. Results: The results showed that 58.3% of rural hospitals established an independent department of respiratory medicine, 50% provided specialized outpatient service, and 12.5% had an independent respiratory intensive care unit (RICU).

Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. The Miluo River Basin is a sub-basin in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and covers 5,543 square kilometers (km). Its headwaters originate from two tributaries, one from Xiushui County in Jiangxi Province to the west of Pingjiang County, and the other from Longzhang Mountain to the northeast of Pingjiang County. The two tributaries converge in western Pingjiang County to form the Miluo River, which has a total length of 253 km, 193 km of which flows east– west through Pingjiang County and drains into Dongting Lake. At its confluence with Dongting Lake, the Miluo River forms an important wetland protection area. The river is also the main source of drinking water for Pingjiang County as well as a supplementary water supply for major downstream urban centers such as Miluo City. 2. Pingjiang County is in the northeastern part of Hunan Province, about 115 km northeast of Changsha City, the provincial capital. It includes 24 townships, a provincial industrial park, and a national scenic area; and has a total land area of 4,125 square km. In 2019, Pingjiang County had a total population of 1,119,290, comprising 323,847 households, and an urban population of 513,400, with an urbanization rate of 45.87%. In 2019, Pingjiang County was one of 51 poverty- stricken counties in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and one of 20 poverty-stricken counties in Hunan Province.

Zhanjiang, 524088, China Abstract Dongting Lake area is one of the primary commodity grain bases in China, while the grain production there is suffering from serious harm of natural disaster such as flood, drought, pests and mouse damage. In general, the historical data recorded of natural disasters in small region are not enough to be used for estimating the probability distribution in risk assessment, because the size of the sample observed is smal1. In this study, the method “Information Diffusion” is used to change limited sample observations into fuzzy sets, and a quantitative analyzing model for natural disasters risk assessment is proposed. Based on the statistical data of grain planting area and hazard area during the period of 1986-2006 in Dongting Lake area, the probability of natural disaster risk of grain production was calculated by using the Information Diffusion Theory in each county. The results showed that the probabilities of natural disaster risk of the area hazard ratio (AHR) of grain production over 10% , 20%, 30%, 40% were between 0.3576̚0.9344, 0.0880̚0.8618, 0.0080̚0.7757, 0̚0.6569 respectively in different county. Meanwhile, the natural disaster risk assessment maps of grain production were obtained based on GIS.
