Shenzhen's Urban Villages Shenzhen’s Urban Villages: Surviving Three Decades of Economic Reform and Urban Expansion Da Wei David Wang Master of Arts in History 2008 San Diego State University School of Social Sciences This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Western Australia 2013 Abstract The Chinese urban village, or chengzhongcun, is a unique urban communal entity that emerged since the economic reform in the early 1980s and the subsequent rapid urbanisation. The formerly agrarian villages were quickly absorbed by expanding cities, or emerging new cities as in the case of Shenzhen, and transformed into urban villages. In Shenzhen, the urban village is a zone of ambiguity because the urban villagers are warranted by the Chinese Land Administration Law to maintain their collective ownership of land, which is a special privilege not granted to the average urban citizen whose property ownership in fact takes the form of long-term leases of up to seventy years. The urban villagers were able to quickly adapt to the their urban surroundings and capitalise on their unique legal status to generate rental income through self-constructed dense rental apartment buildings, which have housed most of Shenzhen’s migrant population for the last thirty years. In addition, the urban villagers’ collective identity and organization, such as the village joint stock company, have made the villages semi-autonomous zones in the city. Due to the original villagers’ attempts at self-government and the great difficulty in regulating the migrant population who largely resides in the urban villages, the urban villages are a favorite target for local government which regards the zone of the urban village as an eyesore. Hence, from the start, the urban village’s very existence is at odds with the high modernist aspiration of the local government. They represent chaos in an otherwise well-zoned and centrally planned city where population and buildings are tightly controlled. In a high modernist city there is no room for random self-constructed apartment buildings and their migrant tenants who, according to the high modernist ideology of the authorities, only belong in massive barrack like dorms located on major transport routes. This thesis will present the urban villages of Shenzhen as self-governing urban communities with flaws but are overall beneficial for their residents of original villagers and rural-to-urban migrants. It seeks to explore the various aspects of Shenzhen’s urban villages, such as, the original villagers, their history, the settlement of rural-to-urban migrant population, and various topics crucial to the continuous existence of the villages. It will shed light on the original villagers’ relations with the migrants, the local government and wider society. This thesis has a very limited scope focusing only on the urban villages within the Shenzhen central business districts. It has gathered interviews largely from original villagers and rural-to-urban migrants living in the urban villages. In addition, it includes interviews with businessmen and local officials with interests in the urban villages. The second hand sources of this thesis included government documents, local county annals and various forms of local paper and electronic media. i Acknowledgement For this thesis, I would like to thank my supervisors Dr. Gary Sigley and Dr. Stephen Dobbs for their tireless efforts. I would like to thank Dr. Frank Palmos for his comments on my drafts. I would also like to thank the University of Western Australia for giving me the opportunity to embark on this thesis project. I would dedicate this thesis to my parents who have supported me both financially and in encouragement. Most definitely, I would dedicate this thesis to the urban villages’ residents both the original villagers and the migrants who made my research possible. It is their warm welcoming voices that draw me time and time again back to the urban villages, supposedly the ‘dangerous’ parts of the town.’ Da Wei David Wang 2013 ii Contents Abstract i

So it would be that for a shopkeeper the choice of an urbanized area or a dynamic neighborhood, the seeking- out of a good location at an advantageous point in a system of streets and thoroughfares constitute elements as important for the strategy of an individual or group as the application of appropriate methods of management.Spatial strategies have rapidly evolved since the outset of the 8Os, and new plans for action are being elaborated within French and European space in the perspective of the great single market of 1992.

  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

  • The NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment
    The NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) program measures performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress in 27 urban school districts. The TUDA data allow for comparisons among participating districts and analyses of trends for districts which have participated over time. With the goal of improving student achievement, the TUDA program focuses attention on the specific challenges and accomplishments associated with urban education. Funded by Congress in 2002, at the request of the Council of the Great City Schools, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the National Assessment Governing Board, the TUDA program has collected and reported student achievement data for select large urban districts every other year since 2003. When the program started, six districts participated. As of 2019, the number of urban districts voluntarily participating has grown to 27. Participating districts can monitor their progress on NAEP over time in comparison to one another, to the national public results, and to results from large cities nationwide. Districts also can examine and compare information about their students’ learning experiences in and out of the classroom, which is collected via NAEP survey questionnaires. These comparisons allow TUDA districts to learn from one another about best practices for improving student outcomes. 2019 NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment The 2019 NAEP Trial Urban District Assessment provides district-level results in reading and mathematics for the participating 27 urban school districts in grades 4 and 8. Six TUDA districts joined the program in 2017, so, for them, the 2019 NAEP TUDA marks the first time they can see trends over time.

  • Recovering Xiangshan Culture and the Joint Local Development
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 10, No. 11; 2014 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Recovering Xiangshan Culture and the Joint Local Development Ruihui Han1 1 Humanities School, Jinan University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China Correspondence: Ruihui Han, Humanities School, Jinan University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 21, 2014 Accepted: May 5, 2014 Online Published: May 30, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n11p77 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n11p77 Abstract Xiangshan culture is a beautiful flower in Chinese modern history. The paper analyzes the origin, development, waning and influence of it. It is innovating and pioneering, and has the features of inclusiveness, mercantilism and its own historical heritage. Recovering Xiangshan culture has significant meaning for the local development of economy, society and culture. And that would also provide the positive driving force for the historic progress of all the China. Keywords: Xiangshan culture, Xiangshanese, modernization, social development, cultural development 1. Introduction The requirement of regional integration of Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen often appeared in recent years. For example, the bill for combining Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen as Zhujiang City was tabled by Guangdong Zhigong Party committee in January, 2014. The same bill was also tabled by the Macau member of CPPCC(Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) in March, 2013. The city administration partition hinders the regional development of Xiangshan. Integration of the three cities can improve the cooperation with the destruction of administration partition. The bills are thought as a good idea but cannot be realized easily.

    HONG KONG AND SOUTH CHINA: A BRIEF CHRONOLOGY (from various sources) 214 BCE Guangzhou established in the Northern Pearl River delta and walled by Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin dynasty (221-206 BCE). Area becomes a center for industry and trade. Nauyue kings of Western Han dynasty rule there (206 BCE-24 CE; tomb in Guangzhou). By Tang Dynasty (618-907 CCE): Guangzhou is international port, controlling almost all of China's spice trade amid activities of maritime coast. 12th –15th C. Southern Sung (1127-1280) and Yuan Dynasties (1280-1363) Hakka (guest) peoples move southward and settle in marginal areas. Guangzhou less accessible to Southern Sung capital than other centers in Fukien. 1368-1644 Ming Dynasty: consolidation of Chinese Rule. Guangzhou continues to develop, particularly known for silk, crafts and trade. Local intellectuals explore Cantonese culture. After 1431, however, China cuts off trade and contact with the world. 1513 Portuguese Jorge Alvares reaches mouth of the Pearl river on board a rented Burmese vessel and realizes he has located "Cathay" building upon a Portuguese route around Africa, India and Indonesia. In 1517 Tomas Pires, ambassador from Portugal, arrives with fleet in Canton. After waiting two years, meets the emperor in Nanjing, but treaties fail in Beijing when the Emperor Chang Te dies. After further misunderstandings on land and a sea battle with the fleet, relations deteriorate. Pires and his mission die in prison. 1540 Portuguese settle at Liampo on the Pearl River and begin lucrative trade with the Japanese, whom they find by accident in 1542. Liampo sacked by Chinese in 1549 and Portuguese retreat to the island of Sanchuang.

  • 2016 Physicsbowl Results
    2016 PhysicsBowl Results Dear Physics Teachers, Thank you for having your students participate in this year’s AAPT PHYSICSBOWL contest. This year there were more than 6400 students participating from almost 250 schools from the United States, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, South Africa, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom, as well as almost 300 schools participating from China! With the addition of the large number of Chinese schools, the contest is almost in two parts with Regions 01 – 14 competing for prizes from AAPT while ASDAN China is coordinating the contest in China. As a result, for simplicity of trying to read the long lists, there are three files: the list of winners in Regions 01 – 14, the list of winners in Regions 15 – 19, and a list of the top students/teams from all regions in both divisions! Instructors from regions 01 – 14 can obtain the scores of their students from the AAPT website and that link will be provided to you in an email from the national office. Please realize that we were able to retrieve some scores that were disqualified for improperly recording the required information, but this was done after-the-fact. If the information was not encoded correctly, the student was immediately disqualified from winning prizes even though we may be able to link that student to your code now. Some students provided no codes, the wrong regions, no name, just a last name, etc. There are a lot of records and we cannot go back and fill in missing information. While it is unfortunate to disqualify anyone, these are the rules of the contest.
