Additionally, Hubei Province is well-known for its diverse landforms, including mountains, hills, mounds and plains. This area is called “The Province of Thousand Lakes” due to the abundance of water resources. Geographical names are exclusive names given to physical or anthropogenic geographic entities at specific spatial locations and are important signs by which humans understand natural and human activities. In this study, geographic information systems (GIS) technology is adopted to establish a geodatabase of geographical names with particular characteristics in Hubei Province and extract certain geomorphologic and environmental factors.

The city government soon strictly locked down the city, implemented a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, and took a series of unprecedented pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical measures. The residents’ access to the medical resources and the consequently potential demand– supply tension may determine effective diagnosis and treatment, for which travel distance and time are key indicators. Using the Application Programming Interface (API) of Baidu Map, we estimated the travel distance and time from communities to the medical facilities capable of treating COVID-19 patients, and we identified the service areas of those facilities as well. The results showed significant differences in service areas and potential loading across medical facilities. The accessibility of medical facilities in the peripheral areas was inferior to those in the central areas; there was spatial inequality of medical resources within and across districts; the amount of community healthcare Citation: Zhou, Z.; Xu, Z.; Liu, A.; Zhou, S.; Mu, L.; Zhang, X.

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. Territorial spatial pattern is the result of land use conversion It is not clear what are the main causes of its formation and what are for a long period. Land use change, as the significant effective ways of optimizing it. By analyzing land use data in 2016, this paper reveals present status of territory in Hubei. Combined with manifestation of human activities’ impact on natural economic and social data and construction information, driving forces ecosystems, has always been a specific field of global climate of territorial spatial pattern are then analyzed.

The Three-Gorges Reservoir area is characterized by widely distributed strata of Badong Formation, in which large size landslide and deep-reaching loose geological body are likely to form. Therefore, it is significant to reveal the mechanism and patterns of the large size landslide in Badong Formation for better understanding of the development of the nature of deformation and process of formation of the deep-reaching loose stratum slope. In this paper, the geological characteristics of the rock mass of the Badong Formation are concluded on the basis of systematic explanation of the space variation of the lithology combinations and space variation of structural deformation of the Badong Formation in the Three-Gorges Reservoir area. To demonstrate the basic law of long-term deformation of the Badong Formation slopes and the patterns of later stage reform and landslide evolution, the authors exemplify the Huangtupo landslide that is typical in the Badong Formation. Introduction The Three-Gorge Reservoir area is characterized by widely distributed strata of Badong Formation, in which large size landslide and deep-reaching loose geological body are likely to form.
