Humana People to People Movement............................................23 Our Purpose and Concept Humana People to People China is committed to creating better development opportunities for disadvantaged groups through solidary actions, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those in need, striving for a better future. Our development work is rooted in a commitment to fight alongside The Poor in a collective process that supports people to make changes, improve their lives and solve their problems. Message from the Chief Representative Dear friends, colleagues, partners and stakeholders of our project, With growing societal polarizations in many countries, never ending senseless wars in certain regions, trade tensions and protectionism around the corner and unchecked 'Global Heating' looming at the horizon, the world more than ever needs to come together and truly build a "community of shared future for mankind” - both internationally and also inside countries. China's victorious Long March against absolute poverty assisted another 14 million people to leave the national poverty line behind, now only 17 million need to be lifted out of poverty over the next 2 years; Yunnan enrolled another 200,000 children into preschools and now only 400,000 or 20% children lack access - the fight against HIV in Liangshan progresses - but still many challenges remain - from lack of protein and vitamins, lack of clean water and toilets in some mountain regions, lack of sustainable production, income and sales to blackboard teaching in kindergartens - building a harmonious society requires all of us to stand shoulder to shoulder with the less privileged - please join in on any matter which is close to your heart! Initiatives with innovative programs, structures and content that empower people to address these challenges in their local communities as strong individuals with the capacity to take collective actions are needed. People organized in structures such as Farmers' Clubs, Village Action Groups, health support groups and village preschool students, teachers and parents seeking knowledge, understanding and the capacity to act, can become effective agents for change. With your support and hard work we touched the lives of 19,000 people in 17 projects in 2018. During the year we started 4 new projects: Community Development Project (CD) Lean, Preschools of the Future (POF) Qiaojia, POF Ninger and POF Puge - while we successfully completed 6 projects: CD Meisa, POF Butuo, POF Ximeng, POF Funing, POF Zhenkang and Farmers' Clubs Xundian.

Description of the sources of mortality data in China National Mortality Surveillance System Before 2013, the Chinese CRVS included two systems: the vital registration system of the Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) (the former Ministry of Health) and the sample-based disease surveillance points (DSP) system of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The vital registration system was established in 1973 and started to collect data of vital events. By 2012, this system covered around 230 million people in 22 provinces, helping to provide valuable information on both mortality and COD patterns, although the data were not truly representative for the whole China [55]. DSP was established in 1978 to collect data on individual births, deaths and 35 notifiable infectious diseases in surveillance areas [56]. By 2004, there were 161 sites included in the surveillance system, covering 73 million persons in 31 provinces. The sites were selected from different areas based on a multistage cluster sampling method, leading to a very good national representativeness of the DSP [57, 58]. From 2013, the above two systems were merged together to generate a new “National Mortality Surveillance System” (NMSS), which currently covers 605 surveillance points in 31 provinces and 24% of the whole Chinese population. The selection of surveillance points was based on a national multistage cluster sampling method, after stratifying for different socioeconomic status to ensure the representativeness [17, 58].

Abstract: This study Addressed the inadequacy of traditional landscape vulnerability measurement methods in considering human disturbance factors, added the population pressure index, to constructs a rural landscape vulnerability measurement model of "landscape sensitivity index (LSI) - landscape adaptability index (LAI) - population pressure index (PPI)" by combining rural landscape vulnerability characterization.Based on the land use cover data from 2005 to 2015 in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture,we constructed a rural landscape vulnerability evaluation system and took empirical analysis. we found that :(1) the evaluation model has good feasibility to portray the vulnerability of rural landscape in the study area, and the research findings reflect the actual situation to a certain extent, which can provide a reference for the study of rural landscape vulnerability measurement.

Rosen Received: 8 December 2015; Accepted: 25 February 2016; Published: 29 February 2016 Abstract: An interprovincial boundary region is a new subject of economic disparity study in China. This study explored the multi-scale spatio-temporal dynamics of economic development from 1995 to 2010 in the interprovincial boundary region of Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou, a mountain area and also the junction area of Tibetan Plateau, Hengduan Mountain, Yungui Plateau and Sichuan Basin in southwestern China. A quantitative study on county GDP per capita for different scales of administrative regions was conducted using the Theil index, Markov chains, a geographic information system and exploratory spatial data analysis. Results indicated that the economic disparity was closely related with geographical unit scale in the study area: the smaller the unit, the bigger the disparity, and the regional inequality gradually weakened over time. Moreover, significant positive spatial autocorrelation and clustering of economic development were also found. The spatial pattern of economic development presented approximate circle structure with two cores in the southwest and northeast. The Panxi region in the southwest core and a part of Hilly Sichuan Basin in the northeast core were considered to be hot spots of economic development.
