广佛同城:携领珠三角一体化发展的先行者

《珠江三角洲地区改革发展规划纲要》(以下简称《纲要》)明确提出,要以广州佛山同城化为示范,积极稳妥地构建城市规划统筹协调、基础设施共建共享、产业发展合作共赢、公共事务协作管理的一体化发展格局,提升整体竞争力.要强化广佛同城效应,携领珠三角地区打造布局合理、功能完善、联系紧密的城市群.中共中央政治局委员、广东省委书记汪洋指出,"实施《纲要》的突破口在于珠三角一体化发展,而珠三角一体化发展的突破口在于广佛同城化".上述要求为广佛同城化发展指明了方向和路径.广佛两市地缘相近,文化同源,人缘相亲,同城化既是两市人民共同的美好愿望,又是时代赋予的重大历史使命.广佛同城将责无旁贷地担当起携领珠三角一体化发展先行者的历史重任,担当起推动珠三角打造更具综合竞争力世界级城市群的重要角色.     

同城化背景下广佛的挑战与机遇

一、珠三角一体化的必然路径 2008年12月,广佛同城化战略正式启动实施.但早在2005年,桂城就提出建设广佛RBD,到了2008年,我们牵动帮助南海做城市发展战略,也是基于广佛同城化这一大背景.所以整个南海对推动广佛同城化的热情非常高,尤其是南海,对其作为广佛桥头堡的定位把握得十分深刻,对自身的地理特质挖掘得很深,这个非常好.     

推进广州佛山同城化 打造珠三角城市群核心区

广州、 佛山两个地处珠江三角洲的城市,经济社会发展走在广东省前列.在国家大力倡导区域合作背景下,强化广州佛山同城效应,推进广佛同城化建设,对于加快推进珠三角区域一体化发展,打造世界级城市群建设具有积极意义.     

芳村桂城片区同城条件最好

一、芳村桂城片区现状概述 早在去年,广佛两地就已经划定了划定了五沙、新客站、芳村桂城、金沙洲、花都空港这五个同城化重点区域.在这五个同城化重点区域中,芳村桂城片区尤其引人关注,该片区不仅仅是广佛地域空间的几何中心,也是广佛同城化的中央地区,更是沟通广佛地区的主要交通枢纽,以及广佛互动的现代服务业集聚区.     

新型地方政府合作模式研究——以广佛同城化为例

广佛同城化是一种新型的地方政府合作模式，不仅有助于推动两市经济社会的发展，而且对中国区域一体化发展也将具有示范意义。鉴于当前中国地方政府合作中存在着不少问题，广佛同城化要想走出现有合作模式的困境，一方面，必须要确定同城化合作的具体内容，没有合作内容，同城化就是虚假的；另一方面，还必须构建一套完整和有效的同城化合作机制，这是广佛同城化的重中之重，如果没有稳定合作机制作保障，那么同城化合作将陷入空想之中。     

广佛同城还属于向中度同城化过渡的阶段

一、双子星建设需要解决的三大问题 在广佛同城的大背景下,我们要谈桂城、芳村片区的建设,定位为双子星是很恰当的.芳村桂城片区,在我看来确实是广佛同城化的重要节点.在这样一个片区的发展过程中,要求两市的有关部门必须解决三大问题.     

后世博时代长三角区域联动效应的同城化研究

世博会是全人类科技、文化、文明盛会的“重大事件”,在世博会结束后的特定时段内对举办城市、国家和地区社会经济发展将产生广泛、深刻、持久的影响与作用,尤其对周边区域的联动发展意义深远。从后世博区域联动效应的空间影响层面看,主要表现为长三角区域的同城化效应,基于区域共同利益的驱动,各相邻城市之间将通过后世博区域联动的扩散效应、放大效应、辐射效应、溢出效应等各种作用的持续影响,不断加强、加速和深化区域一体化在空间上所呈现出的“同质”或“同城”局面。因此,长三角区域应以后世博效应为契机,逐步推动同城化效应在更广更深的领域扩散。     

长三角同城化的后世博效应研究

2010年上海世博会是人类社会新思想、新观念、新成果和新文化的集中展示，对举办城市及其周边区域的基础设施建设、相关产业的提升和人文环境和谐发展的先期拉动效应明显，由此引发的“世博效应”对正在积极进行区域城市群同城化建设的长三角地区的影响也逐渐凸显。世博会结束后，长三角还将迎来至少十年的后世博效应时期。在此期间，基于后世博效应，长三角同城化进程将会持续、快速、健康发展。     

锦州葫芦岛同城化建设研究

辽西锦州湾经济区是辽宁省“五点一线”中重要的一点，借助锦州湾经济区推进锦州湾的整体开发是辽宁省沿海开发的重要战略，也是《辽宁沿海经济带发展规划》的重要内容。2009年7月规划获国务院批准，锦州湾开发提速。以锦州湾开发为契机，推进锦州葫芦岛同城化建设，进而推进锦葫都市区的建设，这对于辽西地区、辽宁省乃至东北地区都是有益的举措。文章首先分析锦葫在区域发展中的矛盾，其次分析了锦葫同城化基础，最后提出同城化建设战略。     

关于区域同城化的研究综述

继2005年深圳最早提出与香港形成＂同城化＂的发展态势和理念后,国内众多相邻区域都先后提出了同城化的发展战略与思路,各区域板块正呈现出以＂同城化＂为导向或龙头的区域经济发展趋势。本文归纳和总结了国内同城化的研究概况与进展,以期对相邻区域的发展模式提供一定的启示。     

Back and Forth and Beyond

The Journal invited Tom Andersen, author of major pioneering work on the reflecting team, and his colleagues, to offer comment on The Reflecting Team Process in Training. We thought such a north-south dialogue was in keeping with the spirit of reflecting teams, and the team members in Melbourne and Tromsø agree — Editor.     

Time and aging--mechanisms and meanings

A recent European Molecular Biology Laboratory Conference on Science and Society entitled "Time & Aging--Mechanisms & Meanings" fascinated scientists from different research areas as well as nonscientists. Topics discussed included not only the biological aging process but also the psychological effects of aging and social influences that affect this process.     

Arts and Crafts and Reconstruction

Abstract

This paper examines the role of arts and crafts in reconstructing communities after times of upheaval, their use in creating employment opportunities, and their impact on the nature of South African art history. It looks at craft initiatives during and after the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, and draws parallels with early twentieth-century initiatives, particularly those of Florence Phillips, who founded the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 1910, Emily Hobhouse, who established Boer home industries, and the South African National Union, which promoted the manufacture and use of local products.     

Sexual Compulsivity and Sexual Behaviors Among Gay and Bisexual Men and Lesbian and Bisexual Women

Within the existing body of research, the information pertaining to sexual compulsivity (SC) among women, both homo- and heterosexual, remains rather limited in comparison to men. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SC in a community sample of gay and bisexual men and lesbian and bisexual women and to identify differences in sexual practices based on classification as sexually compulsive within gender. Supporting previous research, the findings indicated that gay and bisexual men were significantly higher in SC when compared to lesbian and bisexual women. Similarly, sexually compulsive gay and bisexual men were more likely to report drug use with sex than their non-sexually compulsive peers, suggesting that “party n' play” may play a larger role for men with SC. In addition, the findings demonstrated empirical support for the proposition that lesbian and bisexual women with symptoms of SC were more likely to engage in specialized sexual behaviors in comparison to their non-sexually compulsive peers. These data suggest that SC manifests differently in gay, lesbian, and bisexual men and women.     

Evening and night work schedules and children's social and emotional well-being

ABSTRACT

An emerging body of evidence shows that parents’ non-standard work schedules have a detrimental effect on children's well-being. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated mediating factors that underpin this association. Likewise, only a few studies have examined the impact of fathers’ non-standard work schedules on children's well-being. Based on data from the Families in Germany Study (FiD), this study aimed to address these research gaps. The sample consists of parents and their children at ages 7–8 and 9–10 (n?=?838 child observations in dual-earner families). The data were collected in the years 2010–2013. Non-standard work hours were defined as working in evenings and or at night (every day, several times a week, or changing as shifts). Children's social and emotional well-being was measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The findings show that both mothers’ and fathers’ evening and night work schedules are linked to an increase in children's externalizing and internalizing behavior and that this association is partially mediated by mothers’ and fathers’ harsh and strict parenting, with a stronger mediation effect for fathers parenting.     

Thinking and Speech and Protocol Analysis

Some form of verbal report—that is, a research participant' s concurrent or retrospective verbal account of thought processes during problem-solving activities—has been used throughout this century as the database from which psychologists have developed theories of human mentation. Newell and Simon (1972) and Ericsson and Simon (1980, 1993) have provided extensive justification for using one such method, protocol analysis, as a tool for investigating cognition from an information-processing (IP) perspective. Their arguments have characterized protocol analysis as a methodology capable of providing evidence of the ways in which people attend to information stored in short-term memory to solve problems, with the evidence providing them with the grounds from which to generate models of human cognitive processes. A different view of protocol analysis is available from the perspective of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) based on the work of Vygotsky (1987), Leont'ev (1981), and others, and its concern with the mediation of human development by culturally and historically grounded signs and tools. Because of its emphasis on culturally channeled development, a CHAT perspective views speech, including the speech that serves as evidence for cognition in psychological research, as a tool that potentially enables changes in consciousness. In this article I outline a CHAT perspective that accounts for protocol analysis along three key dimensions: (a) the relation between thinking and speech from a representational standpoint, (b) the social role of speech in research methodology, and (c) the influence of speech on thinking during data collection. The purpose of this discussion is not to refute the IP perspective on protocol analysis but to illustrate how this method can be viewed through a CHAT lens and to identify alternative assumptions that must be made to use it from a CHAT perspective.
