It has created “Ningguo Miracle” since 1990s. Its general economic capacity has been ranked #1 (the first) among all the counties or cities in Anhui Province since 2000. In order to analyze the influencing factors of competitive advantages of Ningguo City and explain “Ningguo Miracle”, this article have evaluated, analyzed and classified the general economic competitiveness of 61 counties (cities) in Anhui Province in 2004, by 14 indexes of evaluation index system. The result showed that compared with other counties (cities) in Anhui Province, Ningguo City has more advantages in competition. The competitive advantage of Ningguo City is due to the productivities, the effect of the second industry and industry, and the investment of fixed assets. Then the influencing factors of Ningguo’s competitiveness in terms of productivity were analyzed with authoritative data since 1990 and a log linear regression model was established by stepwise regression method. The results demonstrated that the key influencing factor of Ningguo City’s competitive advantage was the change of industry structure, especially the change of manufacture structure. -
The Land-Peasant-Ecology Complex Ecosystem Research of Western Fujian in the Period of Central Soviet Area*
長崎県立大学東アジア研究所『東アジア評論』第11号(2019.3) 〈研究論文〉 The Land-Peasant-Ecology Complex Ecosystem Research of Western Fujian in the Period of Central Soviet Area* Lianfang WANG† Xinglong FENG‡ Abstract: It made a significant impact on the land ownership policy and people’s life by the establishment of the Central Soviet Area in Western Fujian. The land ownership in West Fujian changed from the landlord private system in feudal society to the public ownership owned by peasants. During the Central Soviet Area, the living standard of peasants in Western Fujian has improved significantly and the society became more stable. Land was the main ecological factor in the complex ecosystem of land-peasant-ecology in Western Fujian Soviet Area, which had the characteristics of low productivity and inadequate land use and so on. Key Words: Central Soviet Area; Western Fujian; Land Ownership Western Fujian was the main component of the made the concentration of landholding through land former Central Soviet area. In the early stage of the sales and threats of violence; on the other hand, due to Central Soviet Area, the area under its jurisdiction was the impact of traditional Chinese family division and the western Jiangxi Province, which expanded to the abortion system and the peasant wars, land is dispersed southeastern Jiangxi and the northwestern Fujian constantly again. During the period of the Central Soviet Province in the middle and later stage, and which Area, Western Fujian experienced the changes of land spanned the vast area of scores of counties in Fujian and ownership, and the lives of peasants also changed Jiangxi provinces. -

There is an increasing need for effective techniques to quantify and detect ecological changes. Remote sensing can serve as a measurement surrogate of spatial changes in ecological conditions. This study has improved a newly-proposed remote sensing based ecological index (RSEI) with a sharpened land surface temperature image and then used the improved index to produce the time series of ecological-status images. The Mann–Kendall test and Theil–Sen estimator were employed to evaluate the significance of the trend of the RSEI time series and the direction of change. The change vector analysis (CVA) was employed to detect ecological changes based on the image series. -
The Changes of Forestry Trade Development in Western Fujian and the Influences on Ecological Environment*
長崎県立大学東アジア研究所『東アジア評論』第10号(2018.3) 〈研究論文〉 The Changes of Forestry Trade Development in Western Fujian and the Influences on Ecological Environment* Lianfang WANG† Jing LIU‡ Abstract: The special mountain terrain in Western Fujian created a rich forest resources, and derived the forestry trade as the main way for the survival and development. With the society changes, forestry trade in western Fujian occurred changes from prosperity to decline, from blindness to orderliness, and forest ecosystem also experienced a interconversion between the balance and imbalance. The forestry trade development brought great changes to the ecological environment in Western Fujian. At the same time, from the ecological environment changes caused by development of forestry trade in Western Fujian, we can also learn the experiences from the interaction between ecology and society. Key Words: Western Fujian; Longyan; Forestry Trade; Ecological Environment Western Fujian is known as Longyan area which is listed as national key protection, accounted for 49% of located in the southwest of Fujian Province and is 150 rare plant varieties in Fujian, so Western Fujian is called kilometers apart from the sea channel. As the region is the green ”treasure bowl”1. For the region is located in located in the Tropic of Cancer, the climate is mild and it the mountains, more mountain and less field is the basic is like spring all the year around. The mountain soil is ecological condition restriction. Because of the red soil and yellow soil for the most part and it is suitable restriction, farmers in Western Fujian began to focus on for plant growth particularly, so there is very rich of and used the rich forest resources very early. -

The Extent of in Situ Urbanisation in China's County Areas
China Perspectives 2013/3 | 2013 The Urbanisation of Rural China The Extent of In Situ Urbanisation in China’s County Areas The Case of Fujian Province Yu Zhu, Min Lin, Liyue Lin and Jinmei Chen Electronic version URL: http://journals.openedition.org/chinaperspectives/6263 DOI: 10.4000/chinaperspectives.6263 ISSN: 1996-4617 Publisher Centre d'étude français sur la Chine contemporaine Printed version Date of publication: 1 September 2013 Number of pages: 43-52 ISSN: 2070-3449 Electronic reference Yu Zhu, Min Lin, Liyue Lin and Jinmei Chen, « The Extent of In Situ Urbanisation in China’s County Areas », China Perspectives [Online], 2013/3 | 2013, Online since 01 September 2016, connection on 28 October 2019.

The results show that the urbanisation level of the county areas in Fujian Province would be significantly increased if the urban characteristics resulting from in situ urbanisation were fully reflected, suggesting that the conventional urban statistics seriously underestimate the true extent of rural-urban transformation in the county areas. Furthermore, such underestimation is more serious in the coastal areas with most dynamic socioeconomic development, and thus distorts the true picture of the spatial pattern of rural-urban transformation. -
Overview of Fujian
Overview of Fujian Lying in the southeastern coast of China and bordering Zhejiang Province, Jiangxi Province and Guangdong Province, Fujian is facing Taiwan across the Straits and one of the closest mainland provinces to Southeast Asia and Oceania, as well as an important window and base of China for global exchanges. Boasting a long history, Fujian was called the Region of Minyue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Prefecture of Min-Zhong during Qing Dynasty. In the middle of Tang Dynasty, the post of Fujian Military Commissioner was established, and the province was hereafter called Fujian. The brief name of Fujian, "Min", is derived from Min River, the greatest river within the province. Covering a land area of 121,400 square kilometers and a sea area of 136,000 square kilometers, Fujian governs Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Putian, Longyan, Sanming, Nanping and Ningde (nine municipal cities), as well as 85 subordinated counties, cities and districts (including Jinmen County). By the end of 2005, the total population of Fujian reached 35,350,000 (exclusive of Jinmen and Mazu). As one of the earliest provinces opening to the outside world, Fujian has launched 12 national development zones and special economic zones, bringing about an all-round opening-up configuration. The people of Fujian are famed for their diligence, courage, industry and hospitality. This mountainous province is also renowned for the tradition of starting career in overseas countries, which makes it a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. Geography & Climate Located in the subtropical zone, Fujian has a moderate climate and is abundant rainfall. -
An Empirical Analysis of the Satisfaction to the Government on Rural Vocational Education Based on CSI Model
2019 International Conference on Reform, Technology, Psychology in Education (ICRTPE 2019) An Empirical Analysis of the Satisfaction to the Government on Rural Vocational Education Based on CSI Model Huijun Liu, Nianqing Tang, Ying Zhu Hunan Biological and Electromechanical Polytechnic, Changsha, Hunan Province, China Keywords: CSI model; rural vocational education; satisfaction Abstract: The paper did an empirical analysis of the satisfaction to the government on the supply of rural vocational education. The results show that in recent years, by vigorously developing rural vocational education, the overall satisfaction to the government's rural vocational education supply has reached a relatively high level. 1. Introduction CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) is a new economic Index used in many countries, which is mainly used to evaluate the quality of economic output. It is also a very hot and frontier topic in the field of quality and economy in China. Since the 1990s, many countries have carried out the test and assessment of CSI to improve the competitiveness of their enterprises. Sweden was the first to establish a national customer satisfaction index in 1989, known as SCSB (Swedish customer satisfaction barometer). Since then, the United States and the European Union have successively established their own customer satisfaction indexes -- ACSI (American customer satisfaction index, 1994) and ECSI (European customer satisfaction index, 1999). In addition, countries such as New Zealand, Canada and the Taiwan region have also established customer satisfaction indexes in several important industries. CSI model (customer satisfaction index model) is a mathematical model of statistical index reward quantified by customer satisfaction, aiming to reflect the differences between customers' expectation of products or services and their actual feelings. -
