城市地域结构理论与实践——以广州为例

科学、和谐、宜居城市的形成离不开科学的城市规划理论。在本文中作者首先介绍了几种有代表性的城市地域结构理论,包括同心圆理论、扇形理论、多核心学说等。然后对它们的一一进行了评述,指出了它们的科学性与局限性。进而结合广州城市规划的实践以及广州城市发展过程中所形成的具有一定规模的功能区分析,探讨了这几种主要理论在实践中的指导意义与不足之处,以期能对其他城市的发展提供借鉴,建设更加美满的人类城市生活空间。     

Sustainable urban development? Low-cost housing challenges in South Africa

Low-cost housing provision has been a major focus of government in post-apartheid urban South Africa. While successes can be noted, there is growing concern regarding the social and environmental sustainability of housing programs and the impacts upon both the surrounding environment and human health. Utilizing key informant interviews, survey research, Census data and documentary review, this essay identifies the major impediments to a sustainable low-cost housing provision in urban South Africa. The essay also points to hopeful signs in new policy directions, particularly attention to health issues and informal settlement upgrade programs. However, the major obstacles to a sustainable low-cost housing process, including macro-economic conditions, enduring historical legacies of race and class, the scale and rapidity of urban growth and institutional challenges show little indication of abating.     

Quantity and quality in evaluation research: A divergent view

Many researchers in evaluation and related fields are now attempting to synthesize quantitative and qualitative approaches. Certainly such efforts appear to carry great promise. However, there is reason to believe that the subtleties and genuine incompatibilities of these approaches are being overlooked. I illustrate some of these differences and subtleties and their implications for social inquiry.

借助中英诗歌的不同表现 ,本文从语言文字的语音、语形、语义、语法四方面论述了汉英两种语言文字本身的差异。从而说明上述差异仅是汉英两种语言的本色而已 ,并非是绝对的此有彼无 ,而是相对的此强彼弱。民族语言之间的相互渗透 ,相互影响是过去、现在及未来语言发展的规律和趋势。     

The changing morphology of the gulf cities in the age of globalisation: the case of Bahrain

Cities in the Gulf region have been witnessing dramatic changes in their morphology and internal structures during the last three decades due to the successive shifts from endogenous to exogenous types of urban growth. In the past, the urban space was mainly shaped by the tribal structure and the economy of subsistence that is based on fishing, pearl trading and/or farming. After the discovery of oil, a first shift towards an exogenous form occurred. Due to the accumulation of wealth, the kingdom adopted a distributive and comprehensive welfare policy, and became a major and unique actor in shaping the city. At present, a second stage of “exogeneity” is occurring due to globalisation. The installation of large multi-national companies, the liberalisation of the economy and the integration with the world banking system are having a direct impact on the socio-economic, cultural and thus, urban morphology. Bahrain seems to reflect the three stages through the changing urban morphology of its two main cities; Muharraq and Manama. Analysed in the light of the endogenous–exogenous model, it opens a debate on the conditions for the survival of the old cities and defines a theoretical framework for the approach to management and planning to be adopted.

都市型农业可持续发展的理论与实践

都市型农业作为一种生长于大都市中或城市化地区的现代农业 ,功能多样化和空间布局的无明显城乡边界是其显著特征。随着工业化和城市化进程的加快 ,目前已形成了设施农业、市民农园、零星插花型农业等多种都市型农业实践形式。我国都市型农业由于发展时间较短 ,无论是从农业管理体制、农业科技整体水平等外部环境 ,还是从生产要素投入、功能定位、土地流转机制等内部管理机制方面 ,都还存在着诸多问题。为此 ,必须高起点制定都市型农业发展的总体规划 ,以技术创新为原动力 ,以科学有效的土地流转机制为前提 ,以农业产业化为突破口 ,以企业化管理为运行机制 ,以完善的农产品体系为渠道 ,才能实现都市型农业的可持续发展。     

城市房屋所有权与国有土地使用权之权利冲突

城市房屋所有权与国有土地使用权均应受到法律保护。但由于我国房地产权属登记制度的不完善及土地登记办法的不健全,造成房地产流转不规范,从而使房产、地产有了不同主体,最终形成权利冲突。在现行法律框架内解决这一问题,一要对房地产统一管理,二要实行土地分割证制度。
