  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

  • Advances in Geophysical Methods Used for Uranium Exploration and Their Applications in China
    ADVANCES IN GEOPHYSICAL METHODS USED FOR URANIUM EXPLORATION AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN CHINA J. DENG, H. CHEN, Y. WANG, H. LI, H. YANG, Z. ZHANG East China University of Technology, Nanchang, China 1. INTRODUCTION Geophysics is one of the most useful techniques for uranium exploration. It supports the development of geological models through the definition of lithological, structural and alteration characteristics of metallogenic environments under evaluation. With exploration at increasing depths, the traditional radiometric method is no longer effective for uranium exploration. Uranium mineralization is not closely related with observable gravity, magnetic and impedance anomalies. Gravity, magnetic and electromagnetic techniques can be used to survey the subsurface geological background of an area and can be efficient in detecting deeper uranium deposits [1]. The progression and development of geophysical methods, measurement techniques, data processing, computer modelling and inversion have permitted improvements in the field of uranium exploration [1, 2]. It is well known that progress in geophysical methods has contributed to successful field investigations in the exploration for deeper deposits (including uranium). Xu et al. [2] have reviewed the latest advances and developing trends in geophysical and geochemical methods and techniques applied to uranium resources exploration in China [2]. Following this work, this paper summarizes the research carried out by the East China University of Technology during the past decade. This includes 3-D inversion of magnetic data and 3-D electromagnetic methods tested in the Xiazhuang area over granite type uranium deposits [3, 4] and in the Xiangshan area over volcanic type uranium deposits [5]. Results indicate that some of the objectives, including mapping of basement structures, rock interface and lithology recognition, can be achieved.

  • (AHP)-Based Assessment of the Value of Non-World Heritage Tulou
    Tourism Management Perspectives 26 (2018) 67–77 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Tourism Management Perspectives journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/tmp Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-based assessment of the value of non- T World Heritage Tulou: A case study of Pinghe County, Fujian Province ⁎ Hang Maa, Shanting Lib, Chung-Shing Chanc, a Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen Graduate School, Shenzhen 518050, China b Shanghai W&R Group, Shanghai 200052, China c Department of Geography and Resource Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Sha Tin, N.T, Hong Kong ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: China's Fujian Tulou (earthen buildings constructed dating to the 12th century) represent a valuable source of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) human cultural heritage. As the Tulou have not been classified as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, they lack Conservation and reuse financial support, receive minimal attention and face structural deterioration. The purpose of this study is to Cultural heritage explore a methodological approach to assess the value of non-World Heritage Tulou (NWHT) and provide Evaluation system grounds for the reuse of Tulou accordingly. First, building-type, planar layout and other characteristics of Pinghe Tulou NWHTs in Pinghe are reviewed. Next, an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to the value evaluation of Pinghe Tulou. Then, policy recommendations for reuse and redevelopment are put forward. The findings suggest that focusing on the reuse of Tulou alone is not justifiable. Rather, funding, public participation and the con- tinuity of community life are important factors relating to the reuse of NWHTs. 1.

  • Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait Through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks
    sustainability Article Deciphering the Spatial Structures of City Networks in the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through the Lens of Functional and Innovation Networks Yan Ma * and Feng Xue School of Architecture and Urban-Rural Planning, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350108, Fujian, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 April 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Globalization and the spread of information have made city networks more complex. The existing research on city network structures has usually focused on discussions of regional integration. With the development of interconnections among cities, however, the characterization of city network structures on a regional scale is limited in the ability to capture a network’s complexity. To improve this characterization, this study focused on network structures at both regional and local scales. Through the lens of function and innovation, we characterized the city network structure of the Economic Zone of the West Side of the Taiwan Strait through a social network analysis and a Fast Unfolding Community Detection algorithm. We found a significant imbalance in the innovation cooperation among cities in the region. When considering people flow, a multilevel spatial network structure had taken shape. Among cities with strong centrality, Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Whenzhou had a significant spillover effect, which meant the region was depolarizing. Quanzhou and Ganzhou had a significant siphon effect, which was unsustainable. Generally, urbanization in small and midsize cities was common. These findings provide support for government policy making. Keywords: city network; spatial organization; people flows; innovation network 1.
