Chilotherium anderssoni is reported for the fi rst time in the Linxia Basin, while Aprotodon sp. is found for the fi rst time in Lower Miocene deposits of the basin. The Late Miocene corresponds to a period of highest diversity with eight species, accompanying very abundant macromammals of the Hipparion fauna. Chilotherium wimani is absolutely dominant in number and present in all sites of MN 10–11 age. Compared with other regions in Eurasia and other ages, elasmotheres are more diversifi ed in the Linxia Basin during the Late Miocene. Coelodonta nihowanensis in the Linxia Basin indicates the known earliest appearance of the woolly rhino. The distribution of the Neogene rhinocerotids in the Linxia Basin can be correlated with paleoclimatic changes.

Abstract: Rural clean heating project (RCHP) in China aims to increase flexibility in the rural energy system, enhance the integration of renewable energy and distributed generation, and reduce environmental impact. While RCHP-enabling routes have been studied from a technical perspective, the economic, ecological, regulatory, and policy dimensions of RCHP are yet to be analysed in depth, especially in the underdeveloped areas in China. This paper discusses RCHP in rural Gansu using a multi-dimensional approach. We first focus on the current issues and challenges of RCHP in rural Gansu. Then the RCHP-enabling areas are briefly zoned into six typical regions based on the resource distribution in Gansu Province, and a matching framework of RCHP is recommended. Then we focus on the economics and sustainability of RCHP-enabling technologies. Based on the medium-term assessment of RCHP in the demonstration provinces, various technical schemes and routes are analysed and compared in order to determine which should be adopted in rural Gansu.

  • Linxia, People’S Republic of China
    Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark Linxia, People’s Republic of China Geographical and geological summary 1. Physical and human geography Linxia Geopark is situated in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, People's Republic of China. The geographical coordinates are 103°02′19.08′′-103°38′21.06′′E; 35°14′37.43′′-36°09′10.87′′N, with a total area of 2120 km2.

The Geopark, high in the southwest and low in the northeast, is in the shape of a sloping basin with an average elevation of 2000m. The Geopark is in a temperate continental climate zone with annual average temperature of 5.0- 9.4°C. The annual precipitation is 260-660mm, and the rainfall is mostly concentrated between June and September. The Geopark is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River basin and has abundant surface water. Most parts are covered with aeolian loess parent material. The distribution of natural vegetation varies widely with very prominent zonality. The Geopark involves six counties (cities) including Yongjing County, Hezheng County, Dongxiang County, Linxia City, Guanghe County, and Linxia County in Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, and 66 townships. The Geopark has a population of 1.166 million, with 31 nations including Hui, Han, Dongxiang, Baoan, Salar, and so on.

C.3 1School of Architecture, Chang’an University, Xi’an 710061, China 2School of Architecture, Xi’an University of Architectural Science and Technology, Xi’an 710055, China 3Agile Property Holdings Limited, Xi’an Branch, Xi’an 710061, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +86-029-8233-7365; fax: +86-029-8233-7365 (Received 18th Mar 2019; accepted 17th May 2019) Abstract. Despite the importance of landscape resources in ecotourism villages, there is no scientific and complete index system for the evaluation of rural ecotourism landscape. This paper attempts to construct an evaluation index system for the ecotourism villages in the Xi’an section of the northern piedmont of Qinling Mountain. Firstly, the preliminary indices and relevant data were collected through field surveys and expert consultation. Next, the weight of each index was determined using the AHP. The conclusion is that: in the criteria layer, the weights of the elements can be ranked as natural elements (A1) > humanistic material elements (A2) > non-material elements (A3); in the factor layer, the weights of the factors under the natural elements can be ranked as ecological environment (B1) > hydro-geomorphic features (B2) > landscape quality (B3), the factors under the humanistic material elements as settlement landscape (B4) > farmland landscape (B6) > road landscape (B5) > facility construction (B7), and the factors under the non-material elements as folk culture (B8) > community participation (B9).
