Forest Fire Risk Management and Public Participation in Changing Socioenvironmental Conditions: A Case Study in a Mediterranean Region

Under current conditions of accelerated socioenvironmental change in the Mediterranean forested landscapes, fire is one of the most critical and difficult risks to tackle within the region. This article summarizes the lessons learned from a project based on the participatory integration of qualitative local stakeholders' knowledge with expert GIS fire simulations carried out in the County of El Bages, Catalonia, Spain. First, in this article, a theoretical model--the forest fire circle--is presented in order to explain the reasons for the rise in the damage and frequency of forest fires in this Mediterranean area. Second, it describes the methodology developed and the stages followed during the project. Results show that: (1) the advocacy of old forest reactive management paradigm assumptions and practices based on uncontrolled forest succession can put vast wooded areas of the Mediterranean basin at critical risk; and (2) forest fire management approaches that ignore the crucial role of long-term prevention and local capacity building strategies have failed. In the final section, the content and the specific dimensions of the old reactive paradigm that has characterized forest fire risk management in Catalonia are discussed and contrasted with the possibly emerging preventative paradigm.     

基于ROS平台的机械臂精确控制研究

基于我国东部农民工城市创业数据的分析,考察农民工城市创业历程（包括初次创业和调查时点的此次创业）是否受其人力资本的影响。结果表明：人力资本对于农民工进入初次创业与进入此次创业转折点均有显著影响。由此,应尽快制定与完善相关政策（包括加强学历教育、职业教育与创业教育等）,帮助农民工开启城市创业,并促使创业者尽快实现由生存型创业向发展型创业的转化。     

就近半城市化与去城市两级分化

农民以家庭为单位普遍选择的就近半城市化路径中,人口迁徙具有可逆性：一是从城市回流到农村的可逆性,二是从大城市回流到中小城市的可逆性。这两种可逆性勾勒着我国城市化进程中的“去城市两极分化”机制：类贫民窟作为物理载体仍然会在城市化的过程中存在,但在可逆过程中,它并不会形成一个刚性的城市社会贫民阶层,进而这种可逆性成为城市社会两极分化结构中的弹性要素;特大城市也会产生,但在可逆的过程中,作为纯资源接受者的中小城市将获得人口集聚和经济发展的契机,从而这种可逆性也构成了城市体系两极分化结构中的弹性要素。     

空间正义与城市革命 ——大卫·哈维城市空间正义思想研究

由于新全球化的全面扩张和都市化运动的快速推进,社会再生产的主要方式已由传统的物的生产转换为空间本身的生产,由此空间正义/不正义成为所有社会问题中的重点和热点。作为断裂化、等级化的城市空间凸显着空间非正义问题,表现在生产领域中城市空间成为受资本力量支配的新的剥削模式,分配和交换领域中城市空间资源配置的不均衡和城市贫富悬殊的加剧,消费领域中城市空间的等级化与堡垒化。在大卫·哈维看来,要实现城市空间正义,必须在城市空间开展反资本主义的斗争,重塑公民意识,争取空间生产权。     

城市规模、创业边界与企业家创业

大城市更有活力且更年轻化的人口结构,导致大城市的消费者异质性偏好更强,进而可能推动企业家创业边界的降低与城市创业活动的发展。为了识别这一理论机制,本文在Zhelobodko et al.（2012）的分析框架上,通过引入城市规模和消费者异质性偏好假设,构建了一个异质性企业家区位选择与创业的空间经济学模型,考察城市规模通过企业家创业边界对城市创业活动的影响,并基于2000-2016年204个城市的面板数据以及2008年中国经济普查数据进行了实证检验。研究发现：（1）企业家才能越高的企业,相应的产品定价会越低,产品需求量越大,而利润越高;（2）企业家创业边界除了受到城市规模的影响以外,还会受到消费者多样性偏好的影响;（3）消费者多样化偏好更强的城市,城市的创业门槛更低,城市的创业活跃度更高。     

房价波动、银行信贷与产业升级——基于银行信贷中介效应检验及区域差异对比分析

房价波动是影响产业升级的重要因素。阐述房价暴涨通过银行信贷中介效应传导机制对产业升级产生抑制作用,并基于全国大中城市2007-2016年面板数据,采用动态面板模型系统GMM估计法检验房价波动通过银行信贷中介效应机制影响产业升级。研究结果表明:第一,大中城市的房价过快上涨对产业升级产生负效应;第二,大中城市的房价过快上涨会增加房地产银行信贷需求,挤出了支持技术创新、产业升级的银行资金,从而抑制产业升级;第三,通过区域差异对比分析,东部大中城市银行信贷对房价波动与高新产业关系发挥中介效应,房价上涨通过吸收银行信贷挤出高新产业发展资金;中部大中城市房价上涨通过吸收银行信贷挤出第三产业发展资金;银行信贷没有对西部城市的房价波动与产业升级发挥中介效应。     

找回集体:西藏治理深度贫困的经验与启示

既有关于贫困治理的研究或从某一视角出发,或是针对一般性的贫困问题。 通过对典型的整体性深度贫困地区西藏自治区的实地调研,文章认为深度贫困不同于一般性贫困,是个体贫困与社区贫困交织、外在贫困和内在贫困扭结的多维贫困综合体,构建了深度贫困治理的四维图式,分析了深度贫困在两个维度上四种具体表现类型,指出治理深度贫困的有效策略是在整合型贫困治理框架之下发展集体合作经营。     

Good Gay Buddies for Lifetime: Homosexually Themed Discourse and the Construction of Heteromasculinity Among Chinese Urban Youth

Starting as an Internet meme, the homosexually themed gao-ji discourse recently became popular among Chinese urban youth in describing intimate relationships among heterosexual men. Positioned within a body of scholarship on the interplay between language, homophobia, and the construction of heteromasculinity, this article suggests that the gao-ji discourse manifests a form of male homosociality, through which new boundaries of Chinese heteromasculinity may be renegotiated. Based on qualitative interviews with college students, the article first tracks the genealogy of the gao-ji discourse in the wake of China’s booming Internet culture. The main body focuses on unpacking the daily use of the gao-ji discourse, with an attention to the two latent functions it serves (i.e., expanding heteromasculine behaviors and reiterating heteromasculine identities). In conclusion, I argue that the prevalence of the gao-ji discourse mainly resolves straight men’s anxieties against the background of growing public awareness of homosexuality; therefore, it cannot necessarily translate into social acceptance of homosexuality.     

河南省城镇、农村中学体育教育均衡发展研究——基于豫南8市的调查研究

Developing Age-Friendly Cities: Case Studies From Brussels and Manchester and Implications for Policy and Practice

Developing environments responsive to the aspirations of older people has become a major concern for social and public policy. Policies and programs directed at achieving “age-friendly” communities are considered to require a wide range of interventions, including actions at the level of the social and physical environment. This article compares the age-friendly approaches of two European cities, Brussels and Manchester, with a particular focus on policies and initiatives that promote active aging in an urban context. The article examines, first, the demographic, social, and multicultural contexts of Brussels and Manchester; second, the way in which both cities became members of the World Health Organization Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities; third, similarities and differences in the age-friendly approaches and actions adopted by both cities; and fourth, opportunities and barriers to the implementation of age-friendly policies. The article concludes by discussing the key elements and resources needed to develop age-friendly cities.
