As one of the most important growth poles in the western region of the people's Republic of China An urban road network as the foundation of a city’s development is a powerful guarantee for the normal operation of various basic functions of a city and the development of social economy. In recent years, the construction level, service level and operation efficiency of urban traffic infrastructure in Xi’an have been improved greatly, but there are still some problems. For example, the road network is incomplete, the links among different roads are limited, and some roads have too much traffic; urban entrance and exit have traffic jams, and it is difficult to connect with the suburban expressways; east-west and south-north arterial roads in old urban area are faced with big pressures; there are less pedestrian crossing facilities, and pedestrians, vehicles and non-motor vehicles intermingle in a manner that impacts all three adversely; the lack of parking facilities forces vehicles to park on the roadside, exacerbating traffic congestion. To build an efficient, convenient, and environmentally advantageous modern traffic system, perfect urban infrastructure system, and comprehensively improve urban service functions, Xi’an plans to make use of an ADB loan for the improvement of Xi’an Urban Road Network, and attempts to promote the construction and systematic management of urban integrated transportation system by an all-round

    Xi’AN Back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty Location of Xi’an Xi’an is known as Chang’an in ancient times. Having served as the capital of thirteen dynasties, this city is one of the most important places to study and review the history of China. The Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of China’s history, a period marked by great urbanism and cultural magnificence. As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Xi’an was the centre of Eastern civilisation. Its importance was comparable to that of Rome in the West. Xi’an’s Tang Dynasty monuments are the most famous of all, and beyond that, the city is committed to recreating the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, in Xi’an, it is no longer an unattainable dream to travel back in time to the Tang Dynasty. What’s hot Shaanxi History Museum The Shaanxi History Museum is one of the four major museums in China. Its extensive collection of artefacts showcase 1.5 million years of Shaanxi’s history. The third gallery features the culture of the Tang Dynasty as well as artefacts from both the Sui and Tang Dynasties, while the fourth gallery displays a collection of gold and silver artefacts from the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Hejiacun Village.

  • An Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Urbanization Patterns in Northwest China
    land Article An Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Urbanization Patterns in Northwest China Haifen Lei 1,2, Jennifer Koch 2 and Hui Shi 1,* 1 School of Environmental and Municipal Engineering, Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology, Xi’an 710055, China; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Sustainability, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 September 2020; Accepted: 19 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract: Chinese metropolitan areas have been experiencing urbanization over the past decades, impacting biodiversity, carbon emissions, urban heat islands, and food security. Yet, systematic research on spatio-temporal urbanization patterns and drivers along the urban–rural gradient is rarely reported for northwest China. Here, we use land-use data from 1980 to 2015 to explore land-use change, urbanization intensity, and drivers in northwest China. Our results display direct and indirect effects of urban expansion on farmland loss, but also spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the urbanization patterns. While the earlier years were dominated by infill and land conversion close to city centers, the later years displayed sprawling urbanization following the constraints of terrain and administrative boundaries at the cost of farmland. Our regression analysis of spatial variables found a strong relationship with urban planning factors. The spatial analysis of urbanization patterns revealed indirect land-use change on former farmland. Furthermore, we found that regional geography and historic sites considerably influenced land conversion. Overall, our findings indicate the need for sustainable planning strategies that synthesize approaches to farmland and historic site protection and consideration of regionally specific landscape characteristics.

  • 1 China Xi'an-Ankang Railway Construction Project
    China Xi’an-Ankang Railway Construction Project (1)-(3) (CXVII-P73, CXVIII-P73, CXIX-P73) External Evaluator: Mitsue Mishima (OPMAC) Field Survey: October 2004 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Mongolia Beijing North Korea China South Korea Project site Xian Nepal Ankang Bhutan India Taiwan Myanmar Vietnam Laos Project site location map (Xian-Ankang, Shannxi Province) Qingcha Tunnel 1.1 Background The project site (Xian- Ankang) is located in the southern part of Shaanxi Province where the 3000-meter high Qinling Mountains extend over 1500 kilometers, and was therefore undeveloped due to difficulties in transportation and remoteness from cities. Southwest of the project site is Sichuan Province, the largest province with a population of 110 million accounting for 10% of the population of China. However, as there is no other transport route to Sichuan Province than taking a detour around the Qinling Mountains, there were only limited routes to transport energy and everyday commodities from the north. Railway transport from other regions to Sichuan Province depended on Baoching Line (Baoji-Chengdu) from the north and Xiangyu Line (Xiangfan-Ankang-Chongquing) from the east, and both lines were operating to full capacity. It was particularly difficult to double-track Baoching Line, which takes a detour to avoid the Qinling Mountains because of 1) long distance of transport, 2) large cost to transport on a gradient at an angel of 3%, and 3) the topographical problem. The opening of the electrified single track of Xian-Ankang Line not only helped increase the transport capacity within Shaanxi Province but also shortened the traveling distance to Chongquing and eased the transportation load on Baoching Line.

  • Quantifying Urban Vegetation Coverage Change with a Linear Spectral Mixing Model: a Case Study in Xi’An, China
    DOI: 10.2478/eces-2021-0008 ECOL CHEM ENG S. 2021;28(1):87-100 Xuan ZHAO 1 and Jianjun LIU 1* QUANTIFYING URBAN VEGETATION COVERAGE CHANGE WITH A LINEAR SPECTRAL MIXING MODEL: A CASE STUDY IN XI’AN, CHINA Abstract: With the rapid development of urban area of Xi’an in recent years, the contradiction between ecological environmental protection and urban development has become prominent. The traditional remote sensing classification method has been unable to meet the accuracy requirements of urban vegetation monitoring. Therefore, how to quickly and accurately conduct dynamic monitoring of urban vegetation based on the spectral component characteristics of vegetation is urgent. This study used the data of Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 8 OLI in 2011, 2014 and 2017 as main information source and LSMM, region of variation grid analysis and other methods to analyse the law of spatial-temporal change of vegetation components in Xi’an urban area and its influencing factors. The result shows that: (1) The average vegetation coverage of the study area from 2011 to 2017 reached more than 50 %, meeting the standard of National Garden City (great than 40 %). The overall vegetation coverage grade was high, but it had a decreasing trend during this period. (2) The vegetation in urban area of Xi’an experienced a significant change. From 2011 to 2017, only 30 % of the low-covered vegetation, 24.39 % of the medium-covered vegetation and 20.15 % of the high-covered vegetation remained unchanged, while the vegetation in the northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast of the edge of the city’s third ring changed significantly.

  • Research on PM2.5 Concentration Based on Dissipative Structure Theory
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Research on ­PM2.5 concentration based on dissipative structure theory: a case study of Xi’an, China Xiaoke Sun, Hong Chen*, Zhizhen Liu & Hengrui Chen PM2.5 pollution has become a serious urban environmental problem, especially in developing countries with increasing urbanization. Understanding the proportion of PM2.5 generation sources has laid a foundation for better ­PM2.5 concentration reduction This paper used Point of Interesting (POI)data, building profle data of Xi’an, PM2.5 concentration and wind monitoring data of fve provinces near Xi’an as the basic data. And this paper studied the spatial distribution of various buildings in Xi’an, the temporal and spatial distribution of ­PM2.5 in Xi’an and the fve provinces, and found that the spatial distribution of ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an and the building distribution in Xi’an does not match. Based on this, a quantitative model of ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an, energy consumption, wind, and other factors is established through the qualitative and quantitative analysis of ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an. Entropy theory and dissipative structure theory are applied to analyze this phenomenon. The results show ­PM2.5 in Xi’an mainly comes from the spread of ­PM2.5 in the fve provinces. The PM2.5 generated by energy consumption in Xi’an is not enough to cause serious ­PM2.5 pollution. And further suggestions on how to reduce ­PM2.5 concentration in Xi’an are put forward. With the rapid economic growth and development of infrastructure in developing countries, urbanization and motorization are accelerating.
