This Report 1. This report for TA-9547 PRC: Hubei Xiangyang Integrated Sustainable Transportation and Logistics Planning and Strategic Study - 01 (51029-001) has been prepared for the Asian Development Bank (ADB), by David Lupton & Associates Ltd, New Zealand (DLA). 2. The purpose of the Technical Assistance (TA) is to develop recommendations for the Xiangyang Municipality Transport Bureau (XMTB) with respect to the resources, systems and institutions needed to develop and manage the Xiangyang Municipal Government (XMG) transport network so that it serves the needs of the Prefecture. The process will draw upon existing planning documents and the experiences of the XMTB and other stakeholders in order to support the XMG’s preparation and implementation of strategic and sustainable transport and logistics plans. 3. The TA outcome will be the promotion of sustainable and integrated transport and logistics systems that can be implemented, monitored and revised as necessary in order to provide modern, green, efficient and livable areas within the Prefecture. Moreover, the XMG systems will be incorporated within the broader Hubei provincial and Chinese national policies, plans and networks. 4. This is the final report for the Transport Plan componient of the TA. It presents findings and recommendations on the development of a sustainable transport plan for Xiangyang. Separate reports have been produced in respect of the Logistics Improvement Plan and the capacity strengthening requirements. B. Aims and Objectives 5. The terms of reference (TOR) for the TA imply that there is a need for the transport and logistics plans to provide additional transport capacity within Xiangyang by supplementing road improvements with public transport services for passengers and rail and waterway services for freight. There is an assumption that encouraging a switch from road transport using private vehicles will improve the transport system and environmental sustainability. Conserving resources is not the only objective. The objective is to also improve the quality of life, particularly for the transport-poor (the aged, women and children, people with disabilities). With this in mind, the policies and programs developed under the TA should maximize support to the inclusive economic development of the transport system, including infrastructure and environmental improvements. 6. With urban areas likely to drive economic growth through both rural and regional development,

The VAP (Velocity-Azimuth Processing) method was put forward for retrieving the horizontal wind field from single Doppler radar data by Tao Zuyu (1992). Assume that the horizontal wind vectors are uniform in L a very small azimuth interval (i. e., the local uniformity of wind field) and neglect the vertical fall speed of the r L’ particles of low elevation scan, the formula of horizontal wind retrieval based on the distribution of Doppler velocity profiles with azimuth are as follows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the relation (see Fig. 1): between the wind vectors and the radial velocities on Wind speed: local uniform wind assumption. v − v v = hr1 hr 2 , 2sinα sin ∆θ Because spatial and temporal resolutions of the Wind direction: Doppler radar data are higher than all of other winds v − v observations, it is difficult to obtain the detail tanα = − hr1 hr 2 cot ∆θ = an vhr1 + vhr 2 information of wind field for objectively evaluating the results derived by VAP method.

In fact, spatial planning system of China is Abstract—“National Territorial Planning (2016-2030)” was not perfect. It is a crucial problem that land resources have been issued by the State Council of China in 2017. As an important unordered and decentralized developed and overexploited so initiative of putting it into effect, territorial planning at provincial level that ecological space and agricultural space are seriously makes overall arrangement of territorial development, resources and squeezed. In this regard, territorial planning makes crucial environment protection, comprehensive renovation and security system construction. Hubei province, as the pivot of the “Rise of attempt to realize the "Multi-Plan Integration" mode and Central China” national strategy, is now confronted with great contributes to spatial planning system reform. It is also opportunities and challenges in territorial development, protection, conducive to improving land use regulation and enhancing and renovation. Territorial spatial pattern experiences long time territorial spatial governance ability. evolution, influenced by multiple internal and external driving forces.

  • Impacts of Human Activities on the Flow Regime of the Yangtze River
    266 Changes in Water Resources Systems: Methodologies to Maintain Water Security and Ensure Integrated Management (Proceedings of Symposium HS3006 at IUGG2007, Perugia, July 2007). IAHS Publ. 315, 2007. Impacts of human activities on the flow regime of the Yangtze River QIONGFANG LI, ZHENHUA ZOU, ZIQIANG XIA, JIN GUO & YI LIU State Key Laboratory of Hydrology, Water Resources and Hydraulic Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing 210098, China [email protected] Abstract The Yangtze River (Changjiang) is one of the most important rivers in the world, and the alterations in its hydrological regime have global-scale impacts. However, with population increase and economic growth, the flow regime of the Yangtze River has been altered to some extent by human activities, including dam construction, soil and water conservation, etc. The alteration in the flow regime of the Yangtze River will unavoidably influence its morphology and geomorphology, delta evolution and ecosystem health and stability. To assess dam-induced alterations in the flow regime of the Yangtze River quantitatively, this paper selected the Danjiangkou reservoir, the Gezhouba reservoir and the Three Gorges reservoir as case study sites, and the whole study period was divided into 4 sub-periods by the years when these three reservoirs started to store water, respectively. On the basis of the time series of daily flow discharge from six key hydrological stations (i.e. Wanxian, Yichang, Hankou, Datong, Baihe and Xiantao stations), the alterations in annual, seasonal, and monthly runoff in different sub-periods and the driving forces were explored. The output of this paper could provide reference for the assessment of impacts of human activities on the health and stability of the Yangtze River ecosystem.

Balanced land use functions (LUFs) can promote sustainable land use and reduces land pressures from limited land resources. In this study, we propose a new conceptual index system using the entropy weight method, regional center of gravity theory, coupling coordination degree model and obstacle factor identification model for LUFs assessment and spatial-temporal analysis. This framework was applied to 17 cities in central China’s Hubei Province using 39 indicators in terms of production–living–ecology analysis during 1996–2016. The result shows that (1) LUFs showed an overall upward trend during the study period, while the way of promotion varied with different dimensions. Production function (PF) experienced a continuous enhancement during the study period. Living function (LF) was similar in this aspect, but showed a faster rising tendency.
