  • Developing a New Perspective to Study the Health of Survivors of Sichuan Earthquakes in China
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Crossref Liang and Wang Health Research Policy and Systems 2013, 11:41 http://www.health-policy-systems.com/content/11/1/41 RESEARCH Open Access Developing a new perspective to study the health of survivors of Sichuan earthquakes in China: a study on the effect of post-earthquake rescue policies on survivors’ health-related quality of life Ying Liang1* and Xiukun Wang2 Abstract Background: Sichuan is a province in China with an extensive history of earthquakes. Recent earthquakes, including the Lushan earthquake in 2013, have resulted in thousands of people losing their homes and their families. However, there is a research gap on the efficiency of government support policies. Therefore, this study develops a new perspective to study the health of earthquake survivors, based on the effect of post-earthquake rescue policies on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of survivors of the Sichuan earthquake. Methods: This study uses data from a survey conducted in five hard-hit counties (Wenchuan, Qingchuan, Mianzhu, Lushan, and Dujiangyan) in Sichuan in 2013. A total of 2,000 questionnaires were distributed, and 1,672 were returned; the response rate was 83.6%. Results: Results of the rescue policies scale and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) scale passed the reliability test. The confirmatory factor analysis model showed that the physical component summary (PCS) directly affected the mental component summary (MCS). The results of structural equation model regarding the effects of rescue policies on HRQOL showed that the path coefficients of six policies (education, orphans, employment, poverty, legal, and social rescue policies) to the PCS of survivors were all positive and passed the test of significance.

  • Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Rural Reconstruction and Recovery in Sichuan China
    POST-WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE RURAL RECONSTRUCTION AND RECOVERY IN SICHUAN CHINA: MEMORY, CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION by Haorui Wu B.Eng., Sichuan University, 2006 M.Eng., Sichuan University, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2014 ©Haorui Wu, 2014 Abstract On May 12, 2008, an earthquake of a magnitude of 7.9 struck Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China, which affected 45.5 million people, causing over 15 million people to be evacuated from their homes and leaving more than five million homeless. From an interdisciplinary lens, interrogating the many interrelated elements of recovery, this dissertation examines the post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction and recovery. It explores questions about sense of home, civic participation and reconstruction primarily based on the phenomenon of the survivors of the Wenchuan Earthquake losing their sense of home after their post-disaster relocation and reconstruction. The following three aspects of the reconstruction are examined: 1) the influence of local residents’ previous memories of their original hometown on their relocation and the reconstruction of their social worlds and lives, 2) the civic participation that took place throughout the post-disaster reconstruction, 3) the government interventions overseeing and facilitating the entire post-disaster reconstruction. Based on fieldwork, archival and document research, memory workshops and walk-along interviews, a qualitative study was conducted with the aim of examining the earthquake survivors’ general memories of daily life and specific memories of utilizing space in their original hometown.

  • Respective Influence of Vertical Mountain Differentiation on Debris Flow Occurrence in the Upper Min River, China
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Respective infuence of vertical mountain diferentiation on debris fow occurrence in the Upper Min River, China Mingtao Ding*, Tao Huang , Hao Zheng & Guohui Yang The generation, formation, and development of debris fow are closely related to the vertical climate, vegetation, soil, lithology and topography of the mountain area. Taking in the upper reaches of Min River (the Upper Min River) as the study area, combined with GIS and RS technology, the Geo-detector (GEO) method was used to quantitatively analyze the respective infuence of 9 factors on debris fow occurrence. We identify from a list of 5 variables that explain 53.92%% of the total variance. Maximum daily rainfall and slope are recognized as the primary driver (39.56%) of the spatiotemporal variability of debris fow activity. Interaction detector indicates that the interaction between the vertical diferentiation factors of the mountainous areas in the study area is nonlinear enhancement. Risk detector shows that the debris fow accumulation area and propagation area in the Upper Min River are mainly distributed in the arid valleys of subtropical and warm temperate zones. The study results of this paper will enrich the scientifc basis of prevention and reduction of debris fow hazards. Debris fows are a common type of geological disaster in mountainous areas1,2, which ofen causes huge casual- ties and property losses3,4. To scientifcally deal with debris fow disasters, a lot of research has been carried out from the aspects of debris fow physics5–9, risk assessment10–12, social vulnerability/resilience13–15, etc. Jointly infuenced by unfavorable conditions and factors for social and economic development, the Upper Min River is a geographically uplifed but economically depressed region in Southwest Sichuan.

  • Evaluation of the Vegetation Coverage Resilience in Areas Damaged by the Wenchuan Earthquake Based on MODIS-EVI Data
    Article Evaluation of the Vegetation Coverage Resilience in Areas Damaged by the Wenchuan Earthquake Based on MODIS-EVI Data Xiaofu Liu 1,2,3, Weiguo Jiang 1,3,*, Jing Li 1 and Wenjie Wang 2 1 State Key Laboratory of Earth Surface Processes and Resource Ecology, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China; [email protected] (X.L.); [email protected] (J.L.) 2 Institute of Environmental Information, Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, Beijing 100012, China; [email protected] 3 Academy of Disaster Reduction and Emergency Management, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-138-1028-7870 Academic Editor: Jason K. Levy Received: 3 December 2016; Accepted: 24 January 2017; Published: 28 January 2017 Abstract: The concept of resilience was integrated into post-earthquake ecological restoration assessments in 10 counties heavily impacted by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Ecological resilience was defined as the time interval required for the vegetation coverage to recover to pre-earthquake levels in damaged areas. MODIS-EVI data from May to August in 2000 to 2016 were used to calculate the ecological resilience by fitting the curve of recovery rate (RR) versus time. The following conclusions were reached: (1) An area of 424.1 km2 sustained vegetation damage. (2) The vegetation recovery was found to be linear based on the statistical analysis of the most common components of the damaged areas; consequently, linear fitting was used to estimate the resilience. (3) In terms of vegetation coverage, 44.2% of the damaged areas have already recovered. The vast majority of damaged areas are predicted to achieve vegetation recovery by 2022, but 5.3% of the damaged areas will not recover within this time period and have no resilience.

  • Crustal Stress State and Seismic Hazard Along Southwest Segment of the Longmenshan Thrust Belt After Wenchuan Earthquake
    Journal of Earth Science, Vol. 25, No. 4, p. 676–688, August 2014 ISSN 1674-487X Printed in China DOI: 10.1007/s12583-014-0457-z Crustal Stress State and Seismic Hazard along Southwest Segment of the Longmenshan Thrust Belt after Wenchuan Earthquake Xianghui Qin*, Chengxuan Tan, Qunce Chen, Manlu Wu, Chengjun Feng Institute of Geomechanics, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing 100081, China; Key Laboratory of Neotectonic Movement & Geohazard, Ministry of Land and Resources, Beijing 100081, China ABSTRACT: The crustal stress and seismic hazard estimation along the southwest segment of the Longmenshan thrust belt after the Wenchuan Earthquake was conducted by hydraulic fracturing for in-situ stress measurements in four boreholes at the Ridi, Wasigou, Dahegou, and Baoxing sites in 2003, 2008, and 2010. The data reveals relatively high crustal stresses in the Kangding region (Ridi, Wasigou, and Dahegou sites) before and after the Wenchuan Earthquake, while the stresses were relatively low in the short time after the earthquake. The crustal stress in the southwest of the Longmenshan thrust belt, especially in the Kangding region, may not have been totally released during the earthquake, and has since increased. Furthermore, the Coulomb failure criterion and Byerlee’s law are adopted to analyzed in-situ stress data and its implications for fault activity along the southwest segment. The magnitudes of in-situ stresses are still close to or exceed the expected lower bound for fault activity, revealing that the studied region is likely to be active in the future. From the conclusions drawn from our and other methods, the southwest segment of the Longmenshan thrust belt, especially the Baoxing region, may present a future seismic hazard.

In order to highlight some important facts about the history, status, distribution, and trends of the olive industry in China, we performed analyses based on Internet databases, online GIS software, and scientific papers. Results show that the olive industries have been concentrated in several key areas in Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, and Hubei. However, the business scope of olive enterprises is still narrow, the scale of enterprises is generally small, and individual or family management of farmers plays an important role. Thus, increased investment and policies are needed to enhance their capacities of R&D and production, and Chinese investigators should carry out socio-economic studies at the microcosmic level and take the initiative to innovate the products by cooperating with people in the same professions worldwide.

  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by China Office: November, 2018 Country Name People's Republic of Project on Forest Restoration after the Earthquake in Sichuan Province China I. Project Outline The Sichuan Earthquake, which occurred in Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province in China on May 12, 2008, caused a great deal of damages to forest vegetation. As measures to restore the disaster-affected forests, the Government of China launched a policy to restore multiple functions of forests in stages through combining natural regeneration and artificial restoration. Through JICA’s technical cooperation project “The Background Model Afforestation Project in Sichuan” (2000-2007), technologies such as “Chisan” technologies using simple work methods had been developed in Sichuan Province. However, because of diverse geographical conditions of the areas affected by the Sichuan Earthquake, it was difficult to determine the precise measures for each condition. In addition, technical and management capacity of the related agencies was not sufficient for restoration of forest vegetation which had been destroyed in an unprecedented scale in China. The project aims at improving technical capacity of the related agencies of Sichuan Province, engaged in restoration projects for typical disaster-affected forests in the project areas1 in the earthquake-stricken areas in Sichuan Province in China, through development of restoration plans for the typical disaster-affected forests, establishment of technological system concerning major forest restoration work methods, and enhancement of contents and system of technical training necessary for implementation of restoration works Objectives of the Project for the disaster-affected forests, thereby enabling sustainable and self-reliant implementation of restoration projects for the disaster-affected forests.
