数字经济与城市群协同发展：基于夜间灯光数据的研究

准确认识数字经济与城市群协同发展的关系,有利于拓展数字经济影响的评估视角,也为发挥数字经济和区域一体化的融合倍增效应提供有益思路。研究发现,数字经济时代城市群辐射带动区域协同发展的步伐正在加快,数据要素跨域流通打破了城市群内部和城市群之间的市场分割,助推城市群边界的有效扩大。数字经济促进城市群协同发展主要通过两个作用机制,一是推动创新主体跨城市跨区域进行合作创新,促进城市协同创新网络发育壮大;二是提升城市空间集中度,增强邻近空间范围内的城市要素集聚能力。数字经济的网络性、跳跃性及外部性特征放大了中心城市对外围城市的辐射带动作用和空间溢出效应,因此构建与数字经济相匹配的区域一体化协调机制和要素统筹配置机制正当其时。     

“Post-Gay” Yet? The Relevance of the Lesbian and Gay Scene to Same-Sex Attracted Young People in Contemporary Australia

In recent years, the lesbian and gay “scene” of bars, nightclubs, and dance parties has been undergoing a structural decline in many Western cities. This article aimed to examine the relevance of the scene to same-sex attracted young adults amid these changes. An online survey was conducted with 572 same-sex attracted young women and men in Sydney. Only a minority of respondents participated in the scene at least weekly (16%), and the majority did not regard the scene as important to their leisure time (60%). However, respondents valued the scene as a space to connect with other same-sex attracted people and display same-sex affection without fear of hostility. Lesbian and gay identified respondents tended to be more socially engaged with the scene compared to other same-sex attracted respondents. The findings suggest that while the scene continues to be valued by many same-sex attracted young people, improved social attitudes have made participating in the scene less of an imperative.     

Illuminating urban street (u)topias

ABSTRACT

A utopian vision of the city is often bright, well-lit, and conversely darkness and night are more often associated with dystopia. This paper uses an ethnographic study of night-time in a busy street space in the middle of a south coast UK city in order to demonstrate the application of ‘utopia as method’, or rather utopia as a mobile method in understanding justice and injustice in urban space. In doing so, we suggest the possibilities of urban mobile space, arguing that ‘utopia as method’ originates in Lefebvre’s (1991) work on the possibilities that arise from the seemingly impossible imaginings of urban transformation. We use what are considered to be distinct approaches to photography: ‘ethnographic’ and ‘expressive’ in demonstrating this. Photography tells a story of the lighting of the space in illuminating the street in particular ways and making visible aspects that otherwise may go unnoticed. We draw from the boundaries, of photography (and therefore light), of method, and of urban space, looking to the ‘territorial edges’ for Lefebvre’s possibilities.     

Beyond the binge in 'booze Britain': market-led liminalization and the spectacle of binge drinking

The contemporary night-time economy has transformed British town centres into liminal spaces where transgression does not subvert normative space, but establishes public drunkenness as integral to a negotiated order. The focus of this paper is the wider dialectic surrounding contemporary 'binge drinking', and in particular the relationship between aesthetic processes aimed at encouraging alcohol-related excitement and excess, and those that seek to exert a measure of rational control over the drink 'problem'. It is the logic of the market that informs governmental policy on alcohol, and the binge drinker is central to the spectacle of the night-time economy as a form of self gratification which also embodies forms of repression.     

Strategies to handle the challenges of intimacy in night-time home care services

The provision of intimate and personal care constitutes a challenge for both careworkers and care recipients and is still a neglected area of research. An observational study of the interaction between the careworkers and care recipients in night-time home care services was conducted in a large municipality in Sweden. The results were analysed in light of previous research and theorising on strategies for handling intimacy in intimate care. The study highlights what appears to be a tension between the ways in which the recipient of care is conceptualised as an active consumer of care in present-day guidelines and the strategies chosen on the part of both caregivers and care recipients, when intimacy and integrity is most at stake, and framed as it is by the care recipients’ situation of dependency and vulnerability. Home care services night-time was shown to be a case that markedly differs from many other settings of intimate care, but in the interactional routines intimate care came forth as a smooth and minimally obtrusive activity. The careworkers and care recipients engaged in strategies such as disattention, eye-discipline, middle-distance orientation, and objectification, thereby serving the purpose of balancing the transgressions of thresholds of intimacy.     

中国贫困县划分精度商榷—基于夜间灯光数据的检验

精准识别贫困对象是客观、科学进行扶贫的重要基础。20世纪90年代以来,我国经历了扶贫开发的三个阶段,确定了592个国家级贫困县。 评定过程受到哪些因素的影响等,都是需要正视的问题。 基于此,文章使用 DMSP / OLS 夜间灯光数据,对贫困县的评定结果进行检验与分析。 研究发现:总体上非弱夜间灯光密度的贫困县数超过四成,这一偏误具有地区差异性;产生偏误的主要原因是“老少边”政策因素与领导人“关系上的照顾”产生的交互作用。     

基于SWOT-PEST分析的合肥市夜间经济发展对策研究

夜间经济作为都市经济的重要组成部分，对拉动经济增长、增进民生福祉、提升城市魅力具有十分重要的意义。2020年1月，合肥市政府首次出台《关于加快推进夜间经济发展的实施意见》，明确以打造“夜合肥”为主题的高品质夜间营商消费环境。为推动合肥夜间经济高质量发展，运用SWOT－PEST分析法，从政治、经济、社会和技术四个维度系统分析合肥发展夜间经济所面临的优劣形式与机遇挑战。在此基础上扬长避短，从系统谋划、亮点打造、完善保障、宣传营销等方面提出促进合肥夜间经济健康发展的对策建议，从而打造对标国际、业态丰富、包容多元的合肥夜间经济模式体系。
