Guidelines for Evaluation and Reporting System for APEC Projects Completion Report requirements for APEC Projects All APEC projects must submit a completion report using the template below within two months of all activities being completed and all invoices submitted for payment. The completion report will provide the forum, Secretariat and BMC with a brief and factual overview of the project and its key findings. It is the responsibility of the Project Overseer to complete and submit the completion report to the Secretariat. The Project Overseer may also draw upon the views of fora members as well as on feedback from project participants and stakeholders in completing the report. The Secretariat Program Director and Program Executive may also provide comments against the ‘Project Management’ item. Non-Compliance with the Evaluation Procedures of APEC-Funded Projects The Secretariat will provide BMC with information detailing any outstanding completion reports. Any forum with projects that have an overdue completion report will not be eligible to submit any Concept Notes for funding consideration, or have any full proposals approved for commencement, until all overdue completion reports are submitted. Completion Report Project Number: IST05/2010A Committee / WG / Fora: ISTWG Project Name: APEC Symposium on Low-Carbon Technology and Industrial Cooperation Project Overseer: Zhang Kuai 1. Key Issues “APEC Symposium on Low-Carbon Technology and Industrial Cooperation – 2011 Nanjing International Technology Transfer Conference” was held on October 20th - 21st, 2011, in Nanjing, China. 1. The low-carbon technology and industrial cooperation is closely in lines with the target settled by APEC leaders to address climate change and achieve sustainable development through cooperation; and highlights the priorities of APEC Industrial Science and Technology Working Group (ISTWG). Under the APEC framework, the Symposium provides all the stakeholders with a platform for discussions on low-carbon technologies and industries and for collaboration among academia and industries. The Symposium lays a solid foundation for the creation of a mechanism for displaying achievements of low–carbon technologies and industrial development as well as for low-carbon technology cooperation and transfer. 2. The proposal of establishing an “APEC Low-Carbon Technology Cooperation and Transfer Information Center” is considered to form a long-term mechanism for cooperation and exchanges in the low-carbon sector. Under the APEC framework, members could initiate joint activities related to the low-carbon technologies and industries, such as low-carbon technology information sharing, joint projects, technology transfer, capacity building, visits exchange and workshops to facilitate common development and cooperation on low-carbon technologies and industries among APEC members. 3. 2011 Nanjing International Technology Transfer Conference is interlaced into this APEC Symposium, enabling closer interaction between academia and industries, technologies with management. The B2B meetings attract lots of companies from both public and private sectors reaching cooperation agreements. 2. Outputs a. Main Symposium on Low Carbon Technology and Industrial Cooperation, 4 speakers’ presentations, over 200 attendants; b. Sub-Symposium I: New Energy and Energy Efficiency, 4 speakers’ presentations, over 50 attendants; c. Sub-Symposium II: Integrated Circuit, 3 speakers’ presentations, over 50 attendants; d. Sub-Symposium III: Bio Technology and Pharmaceuticals, 3 speakers’ presentations, over 50 attendants; e. Sub-Symposium IV: New Materials, 3 speakers’ presentations, over 50 attendants; f. 2 Sessions of B2B Meetings, 22 companies participated to the one to one meeting matching the technology offers or requests as scheduled before the meetings, and 3 cooperation agreements signed; g. 170 technology offers and requests registered in advance; h. One Plenary Session, with Nanjing Initiative announced. 3. Participant information a. Nearly 100 overseas participants and 150 Chinese local attendants; 2 b. 12 APEC economies participated the project, Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, USA; c. 13 non-APEC member countries participated, Belgium, Colombia, Congo, France, Germany, India, Israel, Poland, Serbia, South Africa, Switzerland, the Netherlands, UK; d. One third of the participants are women. 4. Project management APEC Secretariat has provided timely and professional advice and assistance in the management of the project. This project is implemented and completed with a success. APEC Secretariat could have more easily managed the project if the local organizer had managed the air tickets as many speakers and participants are not quite aware of the flight information to reach the venue city, which might resulted in a higher cost and hardship. 5. Budget Attach a detailed breakdown of the project budget, comparing planned costs to actual expenditure.

  • Delimitating Urban Commercial Central Districts by Combining Kernel Density Estimation and Road Intersections: a Case Study in Nanjing City, China
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Delimitating Urban Commercial Central Districts by Combining Kernel Density Estimation and Road Intersections: A Case Study in Nanjing City, China Jing Yang 1,2, Jie Zhu 3 , Yizhong Sun 1,2,* and Jianhua Zhao 4 1 Key Laboratory of Virtual Geographic Environment of Ministry of Education, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, China; [email protected] 2 Jiangsu Center for Collaborative Innovation in Geographical Information Resource Development and Application, Nanjing 210023, China 3 College of Civil Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China; [email protected] 4 Lishui City Geographic Information Center, Lishui 323000, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-137-7082-7090 Received: 30 November 2018; Accepted: 8 February 2019; Published: 16 February 2019 Abstract: An urban, commercial central district is often regarded as the heart of a city. Therefore, quantitative research on commercial central districts plays an important role when studying the development and evaluation of urban spatial layouts. However, conventional planar kernel density estimation (KDE) and network kernel density estimation (network KDE) do not reflect the fact that the road network density is high in urban, commercial central districts. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new method (commercial-intersection KDE), which combines road intersections with KDE to identify commercial central districts based on point of interest (POI) data. First, we extracted commercial POIs from Amap (a Chinese commercial, navigation electronic map) based on existing classification standards for urban development land. Second, we calculated the commercial kernel density in the road intersection neighborhoods and used those values as parameters to build a commercial intersection density surface.

  • SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION of AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS in NANJING, CHINA JIA YOU, SUN SHENG HAN and HAO WU Abstract Introduction
    SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS IN NANJING, CHINA JIA YOU, SUN SHENG HAN and HAO WU Melbourne School of Design, the University of Melbourne, Australia Abstract Traditional location theory matches location choices and stakeholder (e.g. developer, user) decisions in a competitive efficient market framework. Developer profit and land value are directly linked to the location characteristics of the property development project. Recent progress in theory & empirical studies has indicated the imperfection of the market e.g. market competition is monopolistic in the urban property sector. Urban affordable housing is typically under direct government intervention e.g. planning, finance and taxation benefits and/or restrictions. We investigate the Nanjing (China) affordable housing sector. Data is collected from all existing affordable housing projects (2002-2010) in the city. Semi-structured interviews and site visits were conducted in 2009 and 2010. Through the study of the Nanjing affordable housing case, we found that (1) the site (location) selection of most projects has shown positive relationship with the general land value ingredient of Nanjing; (2) site selection is heavily influenced by nearby urban development projects, which cause strong resettlement demand; (3) due to the local government’s dual role, they consider the economic factors, such as the surrounding conditions of the sites, and the pervious use and compensation fees. We argue that demand and institutional factors place important role in determining the location of affordable housing projects in Nanjing. Keywords: Location distribution, government, allocation, affordable housing, Nanjing Introduction Affordable housing in China is a central government initiative to housing reform, which is a crucial part of economic reform started in 1978.
