Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 25 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: Land use/cover change (LUCC) and ecosystem service functions are current hot topics in global research on environmental change. A comprehensive analysis and understanding of the land use changes and ecosystem services, and the equilibrium state of the interaction between the natural environment and the social economy is crucial for the sustainable utilization of land resources. We used remote sensing image to research the LUCC, ecosystem service value (ESV), and ecological economic harmony (EEH) in eight main urban areas of Harbin in China from 1990 to 2015. The results show that, in the past 25 years, arable land—which is a part of ecological land—is the main source of construction land for urbanization, whereas the other ecological land is the main source of conversion to arable land. -
The Reform of Collective Forest Rights in China and Its Implementation in the Fushun City Region

Res. 57(2): 319-332, 2014 ANNALS OF FOREST RESEARCH DOI: 10.15287/afr.2014.210 www.afrjournal.org The reform of collective forest rights in China and Its implementation in the Fushun City Region S. Jiang, B.J. Lewis, L. Dai, W. Jia, Y. An Jiang S., Lewis B.J., Dai L., Jia W., An Y., 2014. The reform of collective forest rights in China and Its implementation in the Fushun City Region. Ann. For. Res. 57(2): 319-332, 2014. Abstract. The paper provides an historical overview of the gradual but erratic evolution of collective forest rights in the People’s Republic of China. For- est tenure rights have been subject to numerous changes since the establish- ment of People’s Republic in 1949. In the most recent decades, use rights for forests have been transferred from collective to individual household-based with the intent to provide benefits to forest farmers. The implementation of the intended reforms has varied considerably from one province to another, with the majority of reform efforts originating in the southern provinces. This article looks at the major effort undertaken in Northeast China. The Fushun collective forest rights reform was analyzed using data obtained through field investigation by the Fushun Forestry Bureau. Initial effects of reform in terms of modes of rights assignment and farmer motivations to conduct forest management activities, as well as farmers’ income and financing conditions, are discussed. Remaining significant challenges are also briefly considered. Keywords Northeast China, collective forests, forest land tenure, forest use rights, Fushun City. Authors. -

Abstract. Land resources are the important material guarantee of human survival and development. It has characteristic of nonrenewable and irreplaceability. Recently, the land resources are more scarce and get into many difficulties which as carrier of urban space with the rapid development of economy and rapid urbanization. It has restricted seriously the process of urbanization and the sustainable development of urban economy in China. Rational and sustainable utilization of urban land resources has become hot spots of society. This paper analyzes the question and put forward to countermeasures and suggestions. Introduction At present, China is in the key period of accelerating development of urbanization. Along with the urbanization is the urban population, industrial agglomeration and land expansion. The land is not only the carrier of urban space, but also the important support of urbanization. What cannot be ignored is that along with the acceleration of urbanization in our country, it also brings about some problems, such as the blind expansion of urban scale, the decrease of available land, the increasing tension of cultivated land, the low level of land intensive use, the low efficiency, the destruction of ecological environment, the degradation of land, the serious damage and so on. -

Wang et al. BMC Ophthalmology (2021) 21:260 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-021-01996-2 RESEARCH Open Access Prevalence and risk factors of refractive error in Qinghai, China: a cross-sectional study in Han and Tibetan adults in Xining and surrounding areas Meng Wang†, Linyang Gan†, Jiantao Cui1, Guangliang Shan2, Ting Chen1, Xianghua Wang2, Yuhan Wang1, Li Pan2, Zhanquan Li3, Sen Cui3, Airong Yang3, Wenfang Li3, Guoqiang Jia3, Ximing Han3, Huijing He2, Yong Zhong1* and Jin Ma1* Abstract Background: Our study aimed to explore the prevalence and risk factors of refractive error (RE) in Han and Tibetan population aged 50–79 years in Xining and surrounding areas in Qinghai Province on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Methods: As part of the China National Health Survey, our cross-sectional study compared the age-adjusted prevalence of RE in Han and Tibetan older adults aged 50–79 years in Xining and surrounding areas. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors for myopia and hyperopia. Results: Among 769 Han participants and 476 Tibetan participants, the age-adjusted prevalence of myopia (spherical equivalent (SE) < − 0.5D), hyperopia (SE > + 0.5D), high myopia (SE < -6.0D) and astigmatism (cylindrical equivalent > = 0.5D) is 28.56, 22.82, 2.80, and 69.38%. Han participants have higher age-adjusted prevalence of myopia (32.93% vs 21.64%, p < 0.001), high myopia (3.93% vs 1.02%, p = 0.001) and astigmatism (72.14% vs 64.94%, p = 0.021) compared to Tibetan participants. Being Tibetan is the protective factor of myopia compared to being Han (OR 0.58, 95%CI 0.42–0.79, p < 0.001). -

Faculty of Geomatics,Lanzhou Jiaotong University, China 2. National-Local Joint Engineering Research Center of Technologies and Applications for National Geographic State Monitoring, China 3. Gansu Provincial Engineering Laboratory for National Geographic State Monitoring, China Abstract: Color steel plate building has the characteristics of beautiful appearance, low cost, light weight and fast construction speed. It is an important product in the rapid development of the city. It is widely distributed in urban villages, urban fringe, new technology development zones, construction sites and other plots.Its spatial distribution has obvious aggregation characteristics and regularity. This paper takes the four main urban districts of Lanzhou as the research area. Based on the 2017 remote sensing image and urban regional vector boundary data, the GIS platform is used to obtain the color steel plate building vector data by human-computer interaction interpretation, using buffer analysis method, spatial statistical method, etc, the spatial distribution characteristics of color steel plate buildings in the study area were discussed. The results show that the building density of color steel plate decreases with the distance from the Yellow River, which is consistent with the logarithmic model. As the distance from the city center increases, the overall decline, rising at 4-6km, 12-16km. -

Abstract. Promoting the construction of characteristic towns under the background of new urbanization is an important way for my country to break the bottleneck of economic development and realize economic transformation and upgrading. In recent years, although the construction of characteristic towns in Sichuan Province has achieved remarkable results and a large number, especially tourist and leisure characteristic towns accounted for the largest proportion, they still face urgent problems such as avoiding redundant construction, achieving scientific development, and overall planning. This study takes 20 cultural tourism characteristic towns selected by the first batch of Sichuan Province as the research object, combined with field research and tourist questionnaire surveys, and screened out relevant influencing factors of characteristic towns from different aspects such as transportation, economy, industry, ecology, historical and cultural heritage. Analyze the correlation with the development level of characteristic towns in order to find out the key factors affecting the development of characteristic towns of this type, provide a policy basis for the scientific development and overall planning of reserve characteristic towns in our province, and contribute to the construction of new urbanization And provide advice and suggestions on the development of tourism industry in our province. -
