The main approaches are data research, keyman interview, field survey, and so on. The emphases of this report are the resettlement progress, resettlement fund distribution, resettlement policy, institutional arrangement of the resettlement, and to evaluate the resettlement effect by interviewing affected people and resettlement cadres and field survey. II. 2RESETTLEMENT FUND AND PROGRESS Resettlement of Gansu Luoding expressway project had been completed in the mass by December 31th, 2007 .Project construction is under way and orderly. Gansu Land&Resource Department would distribute the land acquisition fee to each county. Then affected people get their land compensation from each county according to related policy. Resettlement fund payment met this project’s demand. Because the fragmentary land acquisition is ongoing uninterruptedly in the progress of the construction, so the land acquiristion compensation and the quantity of land occupied changes continually. Changda Road Co., Ltd of Gansu Transportation Department has signed implementation agreement with each affected county’s people government about compensation for demolished houses and other attachments. Each county distributes compensation fee for demolished houses and other attachments to affected households. Resettlement fund of 736,221,200RMB has been distributed. Information about resettlement fund is shown in table 1. Land acquisition had been completed by Janauary 31. 18,799 mu land has been acquired, the status of land acquisition and new house construction progress is shown in table 2. Comment: Resettlement fund payment satisfied this project’s demand.

However, there have been few studies on the environmental impacts of agricultural production in this pattern. We used the life cycle assessment (LCA) method for the first time from the perspective of the entire industry chain from agricultural material production to livestock marketing, which involves the combination of planting and breeding. A comparative analysis of the environmental impact processes of beef and pork, the main products of the two existing agricultural systems in Eastern Gansu, was conducted.

Compared to other regions in China, rural labor migration in Pingliang city, Gansu has owned unique characteristics. In the light of rural labor resource status, local government adjusts measures to particular conditions and seeks after the way for its rural labor migrations that is propitious to current situation. As a result, rural income has been improved, and local economy has been stable. My aim is to highlight the impact of overall employment strategy on less developing regions in Northwest of China. Based on my fieldworks on Pingliang in 2008 I present six migration patterns investigated in which local labor migrants succeed and its extension to other regions to tackle employment problems. Keywords: Rural labor migration, Pingliang city, Migration patterns 1. Introduction Migration, which can be considered a significant feature of livelihoods in developing regions, is pursuit of better living standards. Ever since the seminal work of Ravenstein (Ravenstein, E., 1899) numerous studies have explored various aspects of this pervasive phenomenon.

By using GIS and related statistical analysis software, this paper summarizes three basic urban and rural types: river channel type, plateau surface type, and loess terrace horizon prototype in the Loess Landscape Jinghe River Basin. It is known that most towns in the loess plateau gully area are in the Jinghe River Basin. According to the spatial distribution characteristics of urban and rural areas, the optimal layout based on the main structure of five districts, nine River corridors, and four plates is proposed. Using the DEM module of ArcGIS to divide the elevation and gradient of Guangnan County, we know that the density of urban and rural settlements in Guangnan County is low and the spatial distribution is dispersed, and the distribution of urban and rural settlements shows a strong elevation orientation.

  • How to Optimize Ecosystem Services Based on a Bayesian Model: a Case Study of Jinghe River Basin
    sustainability Article How to Optimize Ecosystem Services Based on a Bayesian Model: A Case Study of Jinghe River Basin Chengyan Tang 1, Jing Li 1,*, Zixiang Zhou 2, Li Zeng 1, Cheng Zhang 1 and Hui Ran 1 1 School of Geography and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710119, China 2 College of Geomatics, Xi’an University of Science and Technology, Xi’an 710054, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 June 2019; Accepted: 26 July 2019; Published: 1 August 2019 Abstract: Based on a Bayesian Network Model (BBN), we established an ecological service network system of the Jinghe River Basin in 2015. Our method consisted of using the distributed eco-hydrological model (Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model) to simulate water yield, the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) model to estimate Net Primary Productivity (NPP), the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model to calculate soil erosion and the Crop Productivity (CP) model to simulate agricultural productivity to quantify the four ecosystem services. Based on the network established, the key variable subset and the visual optimal state subset, which we visualized, were analyzed and used to provide spatial optimization suggestions for the four kinds of ecosystem services studied. Our results indicate that water yield, concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the mountain and river areas, is increasing in the Jinghe River Basin. NPP is continuously increasing and is distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the mountain areas on both sides of the river. Agricultural productivity also shows an upward trend, with areas of high productivity concentrated in the southern downstream mountain areas.
