Introduction Connecting the West with the East, the Silk Road passed through lots of human settlements that became important traffic nodes. These settlements have, as a whole, formed a vital part of the Silk Road studies.1 Settlement evolution reflects not only the socio-cultural changes of a place, but also the environment changes of a place like the Shiyang River basin which is characterized by environmental fragility. For this reason, human settlement evolution has received considerable scholarly attention. Based on modern geography, settlements are divided into urban and rural. A traditional way of settlement research is through narratives. In recent years, new methods emerged as the Geography Information System was popularized in historical studies. The land use of historical cities was estimated,2 presenting a new approach to urban studies. Meanwhile, the emergence of new methods has fostered a diversification of data sources. To gather the place names of an ancient city, map is another important material besides traditional sources.3 Human settlement data provide importance references not only for historical studies of settlement evolution, but also for research on environmental changes in historical periods. Especially in ecologically fragile regions, an analysis of such data allows us to perceive the relationship between the scale, location, hierarchy, and environment of a settlement.4 Human settlement data are thus especially important. While there is abundant literature on this aspect for the Qing and Republican periods, few are applicable to the Shiyang River basin whose ecological environment was under dramatic changes. Traditional literature cannot fully reflect human settlement evolution in the Shiyang River basin of Qing and Republican periods. This dataset assemblages settlement data from gazetteer, survey and atlas, providing data for studies on settlement evolution and ecological changes of the basin, as well as for studies on social and environmental changes in arid regions at large. 2. Data collection and processing 2.1 Data sources This dataset is collected from gazetteer, survey and atlas. (1) Gazetteer constitutes the main source of the human settlement data. These include Liangzhen Chronicles (reprinted) issued in 1964 (the 6th year of the reign of Emperor Shunzhi), Annals of Five Counties in Liangzhou issued in 1749 (the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong), Zhenfan County Annals issued during the reign of Emperor Xuantong, and Gulang County Annals for the Republican periods. Information covers the name, location and quantity of human settlements, as well as their distances to respective cities. - 2 - (2) Geographical survey refers to the Geographical Survey of Gansu Province released during the reign of Emperor Xuantong, when the Qing government surveyed geographic conditions nationwide except for Tibet. Now kept in Gunsu Provincial Library, this survey recorded geographic information of Gansu Province of that period in units of town or township, covering such aspects as the location, distance, households, population and annotations of 65 units of county levels and above.5 It is an important material for collecting the settlement information in the Shiyang River basin. However, the survey does not have a full coverage of the basin – It covers Gulang and Yongchang counties but not Minqin and Wuwei counties. (3) The atlas refers to Provincial- and County-level Atlas of Gusu Province published in Beiping (a former name of Beijing) in 1934. It consists of 84 maps, including 81 county-level maps and 3 provincial-level maps of the current Qinghai, Gansu and Xining provinces. The Atlas has some advantages. First, it has a full coverage of human settlements in the Shiyang River basin. Second, it uses varied measurement scales for different-scaled counties. For example, a 1:80 000 000 scale is used for the map of Yongchang county, 1:34,000,000 for Gulang county and 1:50,000,000 for Minqin county, and 1:40,000,000 for Wuwei county. The varied scales provide important references for using this atlas. The settlement information presented in this atlas serves as important supplementary data for building the dataset of human settlements in the basin of Qing and Republican periods. 2.2 Collection and processing methods This dataset is for the settlements in the Shiyang River basin of Qing and Republican periods. Settlement here generally refers to all kinds of human living places,6 including prefecture, county town, village, Manchu city and fort-type settlements. The data have a time range from the Qing Dynasty to the Republican period. On this basis, this study extracted the name and location of the settlements, as well as their distance to respective county towns, which were saved as Excel files. The correspondence between historical and modern settlements was the focus of the data processing. In the 305 years from Qing to Republican periods, these settlements rose and fell, the process of which was accelerated by ecological environment changes, which rendered particular importance to textual research of the settlements. After textual validation of each settlement, the correspondence between historical and modern settlements was categorized into the following three cases: (1) The historical settlement has a consistent name with its corresponding - 3 - modern settlement. We measured the location of each settlement and its distance from the country town, based on which we determined whether the locations of the historical and modern settlements were consistent or not. The specific locations of the historical settlements were confirmed. (2) The historical settlement still exists but its name has changed. The locations of these settlements were then determined by their corresponding modern settlements, which were taken from history books including A Collection of Place Names in Wuwei County, Place Names in Yongchang County, Place Names in Gulang County, The Gazetteer of the People’s Republic of China: Gansu Province, and so on. (3) Ancient settlements were abandoned. For these settlements, their longitude and latitude were checked and determined through textural research. Another difficulty of the data processing was to trace the time of settlement formation and abolishment. The first concerns the starting year of the settlements. Because the settlements were formed gradually which exhibited a certain degree of temporal continuity, some of the fortresses or cities in the early Qing Dynasty dated back to the Ming Dynasty. For example, Liangzhen Chronicles (reprinted), which recorded the settlement status of the year 1644, was compiled in 1657 (the fourteenth year during the reign of Emperor Shunzhi). The formation year was entered if it was clearly recorded, or the time of the literature compiled, where the settlement was first recorded, was taken as the year of settlement formation. The second concerns the time of settlement abolishment. If the settlement lasts until present, the time of its abolishment was recorded as 1949, as per the time range of this dataset. But if the settlement was abolished and the time was not recorded, the time of the literature compiled, where the settlement was recorded for the last time, was taken as the time of settlement abolishment.

  • Management Implications to Water Resources Constraint Force on Socio-Economic System in Rapid Urbanization: a Case Study of the Hexi Corridor, NW China
    Water Resour Manage (2007) 21:1613–1633 DOI 10.1007/s11269-006-9117-0 Management Implications to Water Resources Constraint Force on Socio-economic System in Rapid Urbanization: A Case Study of the Hexi Corridor, NW China Chuang-lin Fang & Chao Bao & Jin-chuan Huang Received: 11 January 2006 /Accepted: 30 October 2006 / Published online: 6 December 2006 # Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2006 Abstract As water has become the shortest resources in arid, semi-arid and rapid urbanization areas when the water resources utilization has approached or exceeded its threshold, water resources system slows down the socio-economic growth rate and destroys the projected targets to eradicate poverty and realize sustainable development. We put forward the concept of Water Resources Constraint Force (WRCF) and constructed a conceptual framework on it. Conceptual models on the interactions and feedbacks between water resources and socio-economic systems in water scarce regions or river basins indicate that, if the socio-economic system always aims at sustainable development, WRCF will vary with a normal distribution curve. Rational water resources management plays an important role on this optimistic variation law. Specifically, Water Demand Management (WDM) and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) are considered as an important perspective and approach to alleviate WRCF. A case study in the Hexi Corridor of NW China indicates that, water resources management has great impact on WRCF both in Zhangye and Wuwei Region, and also the river basins where they are located. The drastic transformation of water resources management pattern and the experimental project – Building Water-saving Society in Zhangye Region alleviated the WRCF to some extent.

It is urgent to understand the impact on cryospheric changes of water resources in arid regions in western China under the background of global warming. A cryospheric basin hydrological model (CBHM) was used to simulate the runoff, especially for glaciers and snowmelt water supply, in the Shiyang River Basin (SRB). A cryosphere water resources service function model was proposed to evaluate the value of cryosphere water resources. The annual average temperature increased significantly (p > 0.05) from 1961 to 2016. The runoff of glacier and snowmelt water in the SRB decreased significantly. This reduction undoubtedly greatly weakens the runoff regulation function. The calculation and value evaluation of the amount of water resources in the cryosphere of Shiyang River Basin is helpful to the government for adjusting water structure to realize sustainable development.
