基于景观格局的三峡库区生态脆弱性评价

三峡库区是我国的生态环境敏感脆弱区,进行生态脆弱性评价对于掌握其生态脆弱特征和识别生态环境问题具有重要意义. 基于遥感 (RS)和地理信息系统(GIS)空间分析技术,综合考虑景观格局和区域生态2类影响因素,进行三峡库区生态脆弱性评价. 结果表明:①景观类型中,脆弱度由高到低依次为水体、林地、旱地、草地和水田. ②景观破碎度与区域生态脆弱性之间的相关性显著,反映了人类活动对三峡库区生态环境的干扰剧烈. ③三峡库区生态脆弱区可划分为——Ⅰ区(0.171 500≤EVI＜0.191 225),Ⅱ区(0.191 225≤EVI＜0.210 950),Ⅲ区(0.210 950≤EVI＜0.230 675),Ⅳ区(0.230 675≤EVI≤0.250 400). 其中,Ⅲ区和Ⅳ区生态脆弱程度较高,主要分布在水域及其岸边带、高海拔区域和岩溶地貌区域. 特殊的地形地貌是三峡库区生态环境敏感脆弱的重要因素,而人类行为干扰是造成生态环境退化的决定性因子.

为了评价洪水灾害区域脆弱性,提出了应用改进DEA交叉效率模型和熵权法相结合的洪水灾害区域脆弱性评价方法。首先,在洪灾形成理论的基础上,构建洪灾区域脆弱性指标体系和评价标准;其次,应用改进DEA交叉效率模型计算不同区域的成灾效率,利用熵权法计算权重集结全局成灾效率。根据成灾效率的实际意义分析不同区域脆弱性的相对大小。最后,选取我国各省份洪灾作为实证分析的研究对象。研究结果表明:该方法能够准确评价区域洪灾脆弱性程度,评价结果与实际情况一致,具有较好的适用性。     

Some lessons for resilience from the 2011 multi-disaster in Japan

With the goal of resilience becoming ever more present in diverse policy discourses, it is important to reflect critically on its meaning and realisation. In this viewpoint, we re-emphasise that understanding the systemic nature of social and ecological interactions and interdependencies is fundamental to developing resilience to shocks and stresses in whatever context they materialise. Through the lens of the 2011 Japanese multi-disaster, we reflect on some of the difficulties in generating knowledge to underpin resilience-building processes and illustrate some dilemmas inherent in seeking to cultivate resilience in practice. Events in Japan underscore the complex vulnerabilities of place in multi-hazard scenarios and highlight, in particular, the choices to be made in determining which systemic interactions are to be imagined, characterised, assessed and forewarned and which are not. These events also emphasise that while resilience ultimately must be located where consequences are felt, strategies for a resilient future have to take on the multi-scale interactions and tensions within which local processes are embedded. There are dangers, we argue, in thinking about resilience in overly simple and non-systemic ways and in responding to these challenges only as a matter of extended techno-managerial competence.     

大尺度生态干扰风险评估技术方法及应用研究

为实现大尺度生态干扰高风险区域的快速、有效识别,从生态易损性、干扰易达性和资源易引性三个方面选取了9个指标,构建了生态干扰风险评估指标体系和评估模型,形成了完整的大尺度生态干扰评估技术与方法.利用该技术方法,本文评估分析了全国国土空间生态干扰风险状况、空间分布格局及其成因,并结合2017~2019年全国自然保护区人类活动监测数据和《全国主体功能区规划》中生态脆弱性评价结果对生态干扰风险评估结果进行了精度分析.结果显示：超过90%的自然保护区人类活动都集中在评估得到的中高风险区域;全国生态干扰风险主要以中风险为主、低风险次之、再次是较低风险、较高和高风险区域面积最少;其中较高和高风险区域主要分布在我国中西部和东北部的秦岭、祁连山、三江源和内蒙古草原等区域,生态干扰风险空间分布格局与生态系统结构与功能状况、地形与交通条件、资源潜力等因素具有较强相关性.     

甘肃省生态脆弱性与经济综合水平耦合协调度空间格局及影响因素

为探究我国西北地区生态脆弱程度与经济综合水平之间的关系,以甘肃省为例,通过驱动力—压力—状态—影响—响应（DPSIR）模型构建生态脆弱性评价指标体系,从社会、经济2个方面构建经济综合水平评价指标体系,探讨甘肃省生态脆弱性与经济综合水平的耦合协调度差异类型空间分布,并探究其影响因素。结果表明：1）甘肃省生态脆弱性中度脆弱及以上的县区面积占比为78.8%,生态系统整体较为脆弱;甘肃省经济综合水平处于中等及以下的县区面积占比为41.1%,整体经济综合水平较低。2）甘肃省生态环境与经济协调程度较差,仅有9.2%的县区经济与生态环境协调发展,面积占比为4.4%,而经济与生态环境失调发展的县区比例为48.3%,面积占比高达73.9%。甘肃省生态脆弱性与经济综合水平耦合协调度差异类型具有显著的空间分布特征,其中,失调环境滞后型集聚性最强,集中于气候干燥、水土流失严重的甘肃省北部。3）人口增长压力、自然环境限制以及居民生活水平落后是甘肃省生态环境与经济协调发展的重大阻碍。基于此,甘肃省未来应坚持可持续协调发展理念,加大生态环境保护和治理力度,因地制宜发展绿色经济。

The health sector gap in the southern Africa crisis in 2002/2003

The southern Africa crisis represents the first widespread emergency in a region with a mature HIV/AIDS epidemic. It provides a steep learning curve for the international humanitarian system in understanding and responding to the complex interactions between the epidemic and the causes and the effects of this crisis. It also provoked much debate about the severity and causes of this emergency, and the appropriateness of the response by the humanitarian community. The authors argue that the over-emphasis on food aid delivery occurred at the expense of other public health interventions, particularly preventative and curative health services. Health service needs were not sufficiently addressed despite the early recognition that ill-health related to HIV/AIDS was a major vulnerability factor. This neglect occurred because analytical frameworks were too narrowly focused on food security, and large-scale support to health service delivery was seen as a long-term developmental issue that could not easily be dealt with by short-term humanitarian action. Furthermore, there were insufficient countrywide data on acute malnutrition, mortality rates and performance of the public health system to make better-balanced evidence-based decisions. In this crisis, humanitarian organisations providing health services could not assume their traditional roles of short-term assistance in a limited geographical area until the governing authorities resume their responsibilities. However, relegating health service delivery as a long-term developmental issue is not acceptable. Improved multisectoral analytical frameworks that include a multidisciplinary team are needed to ensure all aspects of public health are dealt with in similar future emergencies. Humanitarian organisations must advocate for improved delivery and access to health services in this region. They can target limited geographical areas with high mortality and acute malnutrition rates to deliver their services. Finally, to address the underlying problem of the health sector gap, a long-term strategy to ensure improved and sustainable health sector performance can only be accomplished with truly adequate resources. This will require renewed efforts on part of governments, donors and the international community. Public health interventions, complementing those addressing food insecurity, were and are still needed to reduce the impact of the crisis, and to allow people to re-establish their livelihoods. These will increase the population's resilience to prevent or mitigate future disasters.
