A Case Study of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway
CONVERTER MAGAZINE Volume 2021, No. 5 Study on the Influence of Road Network on the Spatial Distribution of Tourism Resources – A Case Study of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway Bo Zhang1,2, Boming Tang1, Liangyu Zhou3, Ke Huang4 1 School of Civil Engineering, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China 2 School of Art Design, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China 3 School of Traffic & Transportation, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China 4 College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing Jiaotong University, Chongqing, China Abstract Objectives: The Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway is one of the most well-known scenic byway in China. Researching on the mechanism of action between the routes and tourism resources nodes of the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway network, will benefit the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway’s development by changing the development patterns of the Scenic Byway from “point-line” to network, and will be helpful to promote the integration of tourism resources along the route, furthermore to construct the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway as a destination of all-for-one tourism. Methods: Based on the spatial design network analysis (sDNA model), GIS spatial analysis and other methods, the current study analyzed regional tourism resources and the spatial characteristics of road network morphology along the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Byway, and explored the influence of road network forms on the spatial distribution of tourism resources and its spatial spillover effect by combining with spatial econometric model. Results: The distribution pattern of tourism resources along the Sichuan-Tibet Scenic Road is “dense at both ends and sparse in the middle”, and the “Matthew Effect” is significant. -

Abstract. Promoting the construction of characteristic towns under the background of new urbanization is an important way for my country to break the bottleneck of economic development and realize economic transformation and upgrading. In recent years, although the construction of characteristic towns in Sichuan Province has achieved remarkable results and a large number, especially tourist and leisure characteristic towns accounted for the largest proportion, they still face urgent problems such as avoiding redundant construction, achieving scientific development, and overall planning. This study takes 20 cultural tourism characteristic towns selected by the first batch of Sichuan Province as the research object, combined with field research and tourist questionnaire surveys, and screened out relevant influencing factors of characteristic towns from different aspects such as transportation, economy, industry, ecology, historical and cultural heritage. Analyze the correlation with the development level of characteristic towns in order to find out the key factors affecting the development of characteristic towns of this type, provide a policy basis for the scientific development and overall planning of reserve characteristic towns in our province, and contribute to the construction of new urbanization And provide advice and suggestions on the development of tourism industry in our province. -

Meanwhile, Cd taken up by the plant baceous plant species for phytostabilization of cadmium existed in different chemical forms. Results showed that (Cd)-contaminated sites with large biomass and fast growth the majority of Cd in plant was in undissolved Cd–phos- rate. However, little information is available on its toler- phate complexes (extracted by 2 % CH3COOH), followed ance mechanisms toward Cd. To further understand the by water-soluble Cd–organic acid complexes, Cd(H2PO4)2, mechanisms involved in Cd migration, accumulation and pectates and protein form (extracted by deionized water detoxification, the present study investigated subcellular and 1 M NaCl), whereas only small amount of Cd in roots distribution and chemical forms of Cd in the mining eco- was in inorganic form (extracted by 80 % ethanol), which types and corresponding non-mining ecotypes of A. wardii suggests low capacity to be transported to aboveground via greenhouse pot experiment. Subcellular fractionation of tissues. It could be suggested that Cd integrated with Cd-containing tissues demonstrated that the majority of the undissolved Cd–phosphate complexes in cell wall or element was mainly located in soluble fraction in cell compartmentalization in vacuole might be responsible for walls. -

The design of this system provided scientific basis to grasp the state of rural drinking water safety timely, release early warning information and properly take necessary control measures, etc. The evaluation results showed that the overall trend was getting better. It proved that the rising pressure value and response value were main reasons which caused the rising evaluation value of rural drinking water safety.

The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation International and China Division E-Newsletter May 2016 We Care . We Share About HKSR | Unsubscribe | Online Donation Seasonal Story How big is your world? The humble conditions of adobes in Hong Kong have been inspiring lots of interior designers. They come up with diverse ideas, trying to optimize the use of limited spaces. I was quite surprised to see the innovative and practical “interior designs” of the small houses scattered on the vast land in the earthquake-stricken area of Ya’an, as it is less crowded here than Hong Kong. Sichuan Province is a disaster-prone area. An earthquake with a Richter scale reading of 7 hit Lushan County of Ya’an City in Sichuan Province, which resulted in about 200 deaths and more than 13,000 injured. Over 250,000 residences were collapsed or were damaged. It could be imagined the situation was even worse for people with disabilities who lived in the mountains. The purpose of our visit was to learn how the adaption proceeded in the reconstructed houses for people with disabilities who were affected by the earthquake, to provide rehabilitation suggestions, assistive devices and environment improvement support that they needed, in order to help them to return to normal living. We came to Yingjing County of Ya’an City this time. It was one of the most devastated area during Ya’an earthquake. A man with disabilities was lying in bed when we entered. Our therapist colleague first did an investigation of the background and made an assessment. The man had a spinal cord injury from a coal mine accident more than 20 years ago.
