Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 25 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: Land use/cover change (LUCC) and ecosystem service functions are current hot topics in global research on environmental change. A comprehensive analysis and understanding of the land use changes and ecosystem services, and the equilibrium state of the interaction between the natural environment and the social economy is crucial for the sustainable utilization of land resources. We used remote sensing image to research the LUCC, ecosystem service value (ESV), and ecological economic harmony (EEH) in eight main urban areas of Harbin in China from 1990 to 2015. The results show that, in the past 25 years, arable land—which is a part of ecological land—is the main source of construction land for urbanization, whereas the other ecological land is the main source of conversion to arable land.

Over a long time, China's urban public transport system has been underdeveloped, and unable to meet the high-quality daily travelling demand of urban residents. The prominent contradictions between supply and demand in urban transport are shown by the incomplete capacity of urban public transport system, the failure of urban public transport system development in keeping simultaneous with urban development, the single structure of urban public transport system, the lack of advanced transport planning concepts, and the lack of public transport-oriented planning experience for most cities. The project is intended to optimize Harbin's urban public transport system, to improve social and economic development, and to alleviate residents' travel difficulties in cold weather.

    Research on the Spatial Distribution Pattern of Producer Service Firms in Urban Harbin Yang-yang Zhao *, Ji-ping Liu , Fu-hao Zhang, Meng Liu Research Center of Government GIS, Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. * Corresponding author Abstract: The spatial distribution pattern of producer service firms is a significant part of the spatial distribution of industry. In this paper a strategy to get the spatial distribution pattern of producer service firms was proposed by using cartographic generalization, the local Getis-Ord Gi* statistic and overlay method. First, a basic geographic layer, main contained road and residential, should be drawn utilizing cartographic generalization. Second, an enterprise thematic layer, shown the agglomeration effect of producer service firms, was drawn using the local Getis-Ord Gi* statistic. Finally, get the spatial distribution pattern of producer service firms overlaying the basic geographic layer with enterprise thematic layer. Taking urban Harbin, China as a case study, an empirical study was conducted with data of producer service firms in 2016. The results indicated four distribution regions: (i) it showed the high hot agglomeration effect in centre urban Harbin; (ii) it appeared hot agglomeration effect in both north and south of centre urban Harbin; (iii) some of producer service firms randomly distributed in the surrounding area; and (iv) a fraction of producer service firms scattered in the peripheral area. Keywords: Spatial distribution pattern, Spatial autocorrelation, Agglomeration effect, Producer service firms and validity decision-making, need to carry out the face- 1. Introduction to-face exchanges with other enterprises frequently.

  • Ecological Network Optimization in Urban Central District Based on Complex Network Theory: a Case Study with the Urban Central District of Harbin
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Ecological Network Optimization in Urban Central District Based on Complex Network Theory: A Case Study with the Urban Central District of Harbin Shuang Song 1 , Dawei Xu 1,2,*, Shanshan Hu 1 and Mengxi Shi 1 1 College of Landscape Architecture, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150000, China; [email protected] (S.S.); [email protected] (S.H.); [email protected] (M.S.) 2 Key Lab for Garden Plant Germplasm Development & Landscape Eco-Restoration in Cold Regions of Heilongjiang Province, Harbin 150000, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0451-8219-0984 Abstract: Habitat destruction and declining ecosystem service levels caused by urban expansion have led to increased ecological risks in cities, and ecological network optimization has become the main way to resolve this contradiction. Here, we used landscape patterns, meteorological and hydrological data as data sources, applied the complex network theory, landscape ecology, and spatial analysis technology, a quantitative analysis of the current state of landscape pattern characteristics in the central district of Harbin was conducted. The minimum cumulative resistance was used to extract the ecological network of the study area. Optimized the ecological network by edge-adding of the complex network theory, compared the optimizing effects of different edge-adding strategies by using robustness analysis, and put forward an effective way to optimize the ecological network of the study area. The results demonstrate that: The ecological patches of Daowai, Xiangfang, Nangang, and other old districts in the study area are small in size, fewer in number, strongly fragmented, with a single external morphology, and high internal porosity.
