In Suining, three contracts for the construction of various roads, bridges and drainage works have been completed and two more should be completed within the next few months. These works will support development of Xining District, as well as a related link road to a city station. In Yibin, most road works, including pipelines and embankments for Route A are completed but a few resettlement delays are hampering final completion of the works. For Route B, due to a change in the city master plan and other factors, the portion of road funded by the project was shortened and the rest was built using domestic funds. In Panzhihua, the Bing-ren Road is practically complete and parts have been opened to traffic. Related bridge construction is nearly completed. The works under the sewerage component experienced some technically challenging construction but are now well underway. These works together will encourage the growth of the city towards planned areas towards the souths of the city. Public Disclosure Copy Of the four cities, Mianyang suffered the most damage from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and the city was forced to make significant adjustments to its land use plans to accommodate its population and economic activities. With the extensive financial support it received from the central government, Mianyang proceeded with road and land use projects that were originally part of this project. Following the restructuring signed in November 2011, Mianyang will use IBRD loan savings of $11.8 million for road, sewage and storm drainage pipes and slope protection works in Xinglong Area in Pioneer Park. These works are in line with the PDO and will enhance the environmental conditions and economic development of the city, while managing further expansion of the urban area. Despite the above progress, the completion of few works are being held up by punctual resettlement issues. There area also some maintenance problems at a few roads that where completed with counterpart funding, which could compromise the sustainability if not properly addressed by respective cities.

In the Sichuan province, livelihood security and social development are particularly sensitive to changes in the sloping farmland, due to the region’s large portion of hilly territory and its over-dense population. In this study, we focused on spatiotemporal change of the sloping farmland and its driving forces in the Sichuan province. Sloping farmland areas were extracted from geographic data from digital elevation model (DEM) and land use maps, and the driving forces of the spatiotemporal change were analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that, from 2000 to 2015, sloping farmland decreased by 3263 km2 in the Sichuan province. The area of gently sloping farmland (<10◦) decreased dramatically by 1467 km2, especially in the capital city, Chengdu, and its surrounding areas.

  • RESEARCH Eastern Margin of Tibet Supplies Most Sediment to The
    RESEARCH Eastern margin of Tibet supplies most sediment to the Yangtze River Gregory K. Wissink* and Gregory D. Hoke DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCES, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, 204 HEROY GEOLOGY LABORATORY, SYRACUSE, NEW YORK 13244, USA ABSTRACT Zircon provenance studies of modern and ancient fluvial systems help reveal the relative contributions and importance of upstream sediment sources. A 2014 study of detrital zircon U-Pb age distributions from the Yangtze River (China) and its tributaries proposed a strong anthropo- genic control on sediment flux. Those data, along with other data from the region, were reanalyzed using multiple detrital zircon U-Pb age distribution comparison techniques and a distribution-mixing model to construct an improved and quantitative view of provenance. The variability in the Yangtze River trunk stream U-Pb age distributions is evaluated with respect to trunk-to-trunk stream comparisons, trunk-to- tributary comparisons, and in mixture models that consider tributary and bedrock contributions, the latter using a comprehensive compilation of bedrock source terranes. Uniformity in the zircon age distribution of the Yangtze River trunk stream is established in the upper reaches, downstream of the first bend, and maintained by the left-bank tributaries to its outlet. Whether considering the bedrock source terranes or only the modern Yangtze River sediments, the major source of sediments contributing to Yangtze River is clearly the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau (e.g., Songpan Ganze complex, Longmenshan Range), where rock uplift rates are high. The purported increase in anthropo- genic impact on sediment yield in the lowlands, at least as viewed through detrital zircon age distributions, is insignificant.

Abstract. Panzhihua is a mountain-based city, and it’s Kangyang tourism started late. However, after the SARS disease, Panzhihua city relies on its geographical advantage and the tourism industry economy has grown steadily. Based on the relevant policy background and the current status of Kangyang tourism in Panzhihua, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected the development of Panzhihua's Kangyang tourism industry. The research studies the current tourism resources which are beneficial to the tourism economic development and fit for the tourists who seek for wellness especially after the COVID-19. The Kangyang tourism strategies are summarized in the article. 1. Introduction In China, since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), the virus has rapidly spread to the whole country and even out of China. Since then, people across the country have embarked on this epidemic prevention. Due to the rapid spread of the virus and the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission during the incubation period, all online and offline tourism industries in China have been suspended, tourism-related companies have suffered heavy losses, and most of them are facing the risk of bankruptcy.

    Int. Statistical Inst.: Proc. 58th World Statistical Congress, 2011, Dublin (Session CPS020) p.6378 Research of Acceleration Urbanization Impacts on Resources and Environment in Sichuan Province Caimo,Teng National Bureau of Statistics of China, Survey Organizations of Sichuan No.31, the East Route, Qingjiang Road Chengdu, China, 610072 E-mail: [email protected] Since the reform and opening up, the rapid development of economic society and the rise ceaselessly of urbanization in Sichuan play an important role for material civilization and spiritual civilization, but also bring influence for resources and environment, this paper give an in-depth analysis about this. Ⅰ. The Main Characteristics of the Urbanization Development in Sichuan The reflection of urbanization in essence is from the industry cluster to population cluster., we tend to divided the process of urbanization into four stages, 1949-1978 is the first stage, 1978 – 1990 is the second stage, 1990 -2000 is the third stage, After the year of 2000 is the fourth stage. In view the particularities of the first phase, this paper researches mainly after three stages. 1. The level of the urbanization enhances unceasingly. With the reform and opening-up and the rapid development of social economy, the urbanization in Sichuan has significant achievements. The average annual growth of the level of urbanization is 0.8 percent in the twelve years of the second stage. The average annual growth in the third stage and the four stages is individually 0.5 and 1.3 percentage. The average annual growth of urbanization in the fourth stage is faster respectively 0.5 and 0.8 percent than the previous two stages which reflects obviously the rapid rise of the urbanization after the fourth stage in Sichuan.

  • Planning and Construction History of Panzhihua During the Three-Front Strategy Period: Backgrounds, Process, and Mechanism
    PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION HISTORY OF PANZHIHUA DURING THE THREE-FRONT STRATEGY PERIOD: BACKGROUNDS, PROCESS, AND MECHANISM BIN XU, LINXING XIAO Address: School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, 100084. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The western region, which contains 60% of the nation’s land and also is rich in natural resources, always holds an important strategic position in China. In the Republican period, Sun Yat-sen proposed the “National Development Strategy” aiming to bring China into the world capitalism system based on the development of the western region. During the War of Resistance against Japan, key industries were forced to move into inland China. Therefore the Republican government determined the strategy concentrating on the development of Sichuan and Chongqing. After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, Mao’s government accepted the aid from the Soviet Union. During the “First Five-year Plan”, 156 key projects were carried out in the northwestern region close to the Soviet Union. That was the first time the P.R.C government changed the industrial layout from eastern coastal region to western inland areas. Later in the 1960’s, both northern and southern borders of China were under the military threats from the Soviet Union, the U.S.A, Indian and Vietnam. In that situation, the government adopted a regional policy called the “Three-Front Strategy”. Its aim is to render China’s fledgling industries immune from attack by hiding them “in the mountains, in dispersion and in caves” of the western regions, such as Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.

This paper studied the evaluation of rural ecological environment and its influencing factors. The results showed that: the rural ecological environment showed declining trend, the value of its input-output efficiency was low and its regional differences was significant; the quality of economic development affected the rural ecological environment in a certain extent, but not the only factor; chemical fertilizer, pesticide, agricultural plastic film, arable land were key factors affecting the rural ecological environment. It implied that there was a large room for improving the rural ecological environment. Keywords: Rural Ecological Environment, Evaluation, Influencing factors, Sichuan Province 1.

It can be distinguished from the three other Chinese Paradoxa-like species — T. gigantosporum, T. sinomonosporum, and T. glabrum — by its whitish to yellow-brownish gleba, two-layered peridium, and spiky cystidia. Molecular analysis also supports T. xanthomonosporum as a unique species. Key words — taxonomy, Pezizales, Yunnan Introduction The genusParadoxa was erected by Mattirolo in 1935 in the Tuberaceae to accommodate Paradoxa monospora Mattir., a species which, invariably, has one-spored asci (Montecchi & Sarasini 2000; Læssøe & Hansen 2007).
