In this paper, we evaluated the sustainability of the 14 cities in Liaoning, China, from 2015 to 2017. Based on the comprehensive consideration of the interactions among the social, economic and environmental systems, the traditional evaluation indicator system is refined. We incorporate the attitude of decision makers into the evaluation model and propose an objective weighting method by considering data distribution to objectively guide the cities to develop towards the established goals. The empirical research results show that cities located in eastern Liaoning performed the best and in western Liaoning performed the worst. The performances of the 14 cities in Liaoning were not perfect. Both the evaluation values and growth rates of 7 cities (accounting for 50.00%) were lower than the overall average level. The evaluation values of the three systems of the 14 cities were not balanced. The evaluation values of the social, economic and environmental systems fluctuated within the range of [0.0159, 0.0346], [0.0151, 0.0677] and [0.0123, 0.0483], respectively. -

The SHRIMP U-Pb Isotope Dating of Mesozoic Volcanic from Zhangwu-Heishan Area, West Liaoning Province, China
EARTH SCIENCES RESEARCH JOURNAL GEOLOGY Earth Sci. Res. J. Vol. 24, No. 4 (December, 2020): 409-417 The SHRIMP U-Pb isotope dating of Mesozoic volcanic from Zhangwu-Heishan Area, West Liaoning Province, China Chaoyong Hou*, Houan Cai, Senlong Pei China Non-ferrous Metals Resource Geological Survey, Beijing 100012, China *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Keywords: West Liaoning Province; Zhangwu- The Zhangwu-Heishan area is located in the east of the Fuxin-Yixian basin. Besides the Quaternary soil, the study area Heishan Area; Mesozoic Volcanic Rock; Isotopic is mostly covered with volcanic rock. The horizon and age of volcanic rock play an essential role in understanding Age; Geological Significance. fossil beds, structures, and sedimentary evolution of West Liaoning Province and coal seeking. During this work, 11 volcanic rock samples were measured by SHRIMP U-Pb isotope analysis. Based on the reported data on the age of the Mesozoic volcanic rock in West Liaoning Province, in combination with new measurement data, Cretaceous volcanic activities in West Liaoning Province can be divided into five stages, namely 132±1 Ma, 126±1 Ma, 122±2 Ma, 115±2 Ma, and 100±5 Ma. Based on statistical results, this paper concluded that the thinning time of the crust in Northeast China is from 132±1 Ma to 115±2 Ma.

Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility
Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials. -
