The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has achieved rapid economic development and growth in gross domestic product (GDP) exceeding 7.5% annually since the 1980s. Vehicle ownership in the PRC also has expanded rapidly from 1.69 million vehicles in 1980, to 5.54 million vehicles in 1990, 16.09 million vehicles in 2000, and 109.33 million vehicles in 2012. Sustained economic growth and increased vehicle ownership have resulted in an unprecedented escalation in traffic flow between and within provinces. The economy’s changing structure and increasing diversification have altered the pattern of transport demand. Movement of goods and passengers by road, which is more flexible and responsive to market needs than other modes of transport, is expanding rapidly. By 2012, the volume of road freight transport had increased tenfold from 597.3 billion ton-kilometers in 2000 to 5,953.5 billion ton-kilometers and passenger transport by nearly 28 times from 660.0 billion passenger-kilometers in 2000 to 1,846.8 billion passenger-kilometers. To cope with the dramatic growth in traffic demand, the government initiated a long-term strategy in 1988 to implement a 35,000 kilometer (km) national trunk highway system.

Researching on the mechanism of action between the routes and tourism resources nodes of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway network, will benefit the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway’s development by changing the development patterns of the Scenic Byway from “point-line” to network, and will be helpful to promote the integration of tourism resources along the route, furthermore to construct the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway as a destination of all-for-one tourism. Methods: Based on the spatial design network analysis (sDNA model), GIS spatial analysis and other methods, the current study analyzed regional tourism resources and the spatial characteristics of road network morphology along the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway, and explored the influence of road network forms on the spatial distribution of tourism resources and its spatial spillover effect by combining with spatial econometric model. Results: The distribution pattern of tourism resources along the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Road is “dense at both ends and sparse in the middle”, and the “Matthew Effect” is significant.

Brief Introduction of the Project Expanding the coverage and strengthening the management of wetland protected areas in Sichuan Province, China (hereafter shorten as “The project”) aims to expand and strengthen wetland protected areas in Sichuan Province China and also to mainstream biodiversity conservation and sustainable utilization of wetland resources. The project has two main components of which one focuses on strengthening site level management and standard raised for two wetland parks, namely:1） Xichang-Qionghai Wetland Park, and 2) Xinjin-Baihetan Wetland Park. The project doesn’t plan to promote agricultural production or change landscape by planting or transplanting. Accordingly, it has no attempt to use chemical pesticides. In the two wetland parks, farmers’ land rights have been requisitioned by local governments and agriculture have been totally given-up. Around the two wetland parks especially Xichang-Qionghai, farmers still plant cash crops and use peptides heavily.

  • 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.

To further understand the by water-soluble Cd–organic acid complexes, Cd(H2PO4)2, mechanisms involved in Cd migration, accumulation and pectates and protein form (extracted by deionized water detoxification, the present study investigated subcellular and 1 M NaCl), whereas only small amount of Cd in roots distribution and chemical forms of Cd in the mining eco- was in inorganic form (extracted by 80 % ethanol), which types and corresponding non-mining ecotypes of A. wardii suggests low capacity to be transported to aboveground via greenhouse pot experiment. Subcellular fractionation of tissues. It could be suggested that Cd integrated with Cd-containing tissues demonstrated that the majority of the undissolved Cd–phosphate complexes in cell wall or element was mainly located in soluble fraction in cell compartmentalization in vacuole might be responsible for walls.
