Media Representations of Climate Change: A Meta-Analysis of the Research Field

A flurry of studies in recent years has analyzed the role of media in climate change communication. This article provides a systematic, large-scale, and up-to-date overview of the objects and characteristics of this research field through a meta-analysis. It identifies 133 relevant studies and analyzes them empirically. The results show that research activity has risen strongly over time, and that the analytical spectrum has expanded to include an increasing number of countries, more types of media including online and social media, and different methodological approaches. The analysis also demonstrates, however, that scholarship in the field still concentrates strongly on Western countries and print media.

上海市浦东新区大气降水化学组分及其相关性分析

依据上海市浦东新区2010—2015年2个代表性采样点的142份监测数据,对降水中的化学组成及各组分间的相关性进行了分析。结果表明,监测期间单次降雨的pH值为3.85~6.09,平均值为5.09,属硫酸型/硝酸型复合污染酸雨。其中SO_4~(2-)和NO_3~-为主要离子,平均值分别为4.55和3.31 mg/L。通过SPSS统计分析得出,人类生活和生产过程以及海洋源是浦东新区大气降水化学组分的主要来源,但仍存在不同的区域特征。

An analysis of seismic risk from a tourism point of view

Global awareness of natural calamities increased after the destructive Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, largely because many foreigners lost their lives, especially in Thailand. This paper explores how best to communicate the seismic risk posed by different travel destinations to crisis management personnel in tourists' home countries. The analysis of seismic risk should be straightforward enough for non-specialists, yet powerful enough to identify the travel destinations that are most at risk. The output for each location is a point in 3D space composed of the natural and built-up environment and local tourism. The tourism-specific factors can be tailored according to the tourists' nationality. The necessary information can be collected from various directories and statistics, much of it available over the Internet. The output helps to illustrate the overall seismic risk conditions of different travel destinations, allows for comparison across destinations, and identifies the places that are most at risk.     

Trust in Citizen Science Research: A Case Study of the Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation & Testing Program1

Thornton, Teresa and Jessica Leahy, 2012. Trust in Citizen Science Research: A Case Study of the Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation & Testing Program. Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) 48(5): 1032‐1040. DOI: 10.1111/j.1752‐1688.2012.00670.x Abstract: Data collected by citizen scientists, including K‐12 students, have been validated by the scientific community through quality assurance/quality control tests and publication of results in peer‐reviewed journal articles. However, if citizen science data are to be used by local communities, research is needed to determine which factors contribute to local community member trust in citizen science data, and how to increase the benefits and use of citizen science programs. This article describes the Groundwater Education Through Water Evaluation & Testing (GET WET!) program that employs middle and high school students, state and local government employees, environmental nongovernmental organization leaders, business representatives, college faculty and students, and other volunteers as citizen scientists to create a database of groundwater quality for use as a baseline for local water resources management. Data were gathered through semi‐structured interviews pre‐ and post‐involvement from 40 participants in this citizen science program conducted in five states in the northeastern United States. Results indicate that factors of trust are largely based on interpersonal trust and familiarity. We conclude with recommendations and future research that may improve local community member willingness to trust citizen science data generated by students.     

青岛旅游业对区域产业结构优化的贡献研究

中国产业结构历经调整,三次产业的比重逐步改善,但仍待进一步优化。旅游业的兴旺带动了相关产业的发展,对区域产业结构优化产生了积极影响,但从旅游业视角对产业结构的研究相对较少。以青岛为例,通过分析表明旅游收入与旅游人数均呈稳步增长趋势,且在国民经济中的地位也得以稳步提升;进一步分析旅游业发展对区域产业结构变动影响的存在性,通过格兰杰因果关系检验,表明旅游发展是区域产业结构优化的重要原因;在此基础上,分析旅游业发展对区域产业结构变动的影响因素,从旅游供给、旅游需求、旅游外商投资三个角度主要选取旅游景区(点)、旅游企业全员劳动生产率、旅游基础设施、旅游企业从业人数、旅游人数、城镇居民国内旅游出游率、国内旅游人均消费、外商餐饮住宿业的投资额等指标,运用因子分析法,将主要影响因素归结为旅游供求、旅游投资两大要素。为提升旅游发展对区域产业结构优化的带动力,促进产业结构优化升级,必须采取一系列措施以刺激旅游需求、扩大旅游供给、增加旅游投资。     

旅游概念规划内容体系创新研究——以重庆市璧山千亩荷园乡村旅游概念规划为例

在界定旅游概念规划的基础上,对其内容体系进行了研究,创新性地提出了一种新的旅游概念规划内容体系,即它由背景环境解析、理念融合创新、目标定位、发展战略确定、关键策略选择五大板块组成,内容涉及到发展背景认知、区域特征分析、特殊理念识别、特有思想梳理、关键概念提取、规划目标界定、发展战略选择、主题形象提升、空间构架部署、概念分区支撑、意象设计解码、发展模式生成、旅游策略选择等13个方面,并以《重庆市千亩荷园旅游概念规划》为例,在理论和实证双重层面上证实了这套新内容体系的实践价值和存在意义.     

基于综合模拟法的区域旅游投资预警研究——以河南省为例

旅游投资是推动旅游发展的重要力量,但旅游投资方向、投资规模等要和旅游发展阶段及旅游市场需求相吻合,为避免旅游投资"潮涌现象"的发生,需对旅游投资进行预警研究.本文采用综合模拟法,从旅游投资发展速度、旅游供求平衡、旅游投资内部均衡、旅游投资与区域经济协调性等4个指标类别出发,构建了旅游投资预警模型.运用该模型对河南旅游投资进行了实证研究,结果表明,河南旅游投资虽然基本上还处于健康区域内,但河南旅游投资已经初步显现出投资微热、投资增速过快、度假产品投资过热、旅游投资正逐步出现和区域经济不协调的现象.基于河南旅游投资现实,为避免投资泡沫,河南旅游急需制定合理的旅游产业投资引导和控制性政策,规范盲目的投资行为,避免旅游产品结构性过剩,从而实现河南旅游平稳可持续发展.     

环境规制和农业科技进步的关系分析——基于波特假说的研究

波特假说主要从动态的角度论证了环境规制和农业科技进步之间的正向变亿关系.而在安徽省1990 -2008年的农业生产数据的基础上,选择合适的环境规制和农业科技进步的指标变量,运用Johansen协整分析方法验证了安徽省农业生产中的环境规制和农业科技进步的关系也符合这一假说,Granger因果关系检验说明了安徽省环境规制是农业科技进步产生的原因,脉冲响应分析和方差分析则更深入地从定量的角度分析了环境规制对农业科技进步影响滞后的趋势和影响程度.由实证分析可以看出,只是从静态角度来分析,环境规制是不利于农业的科技进步的;但从长期效益来看,环境规制有利于农业的科技进步.因此,在农业生态环境恶化的形势下,严格对农业废弃物的排放限制,制定较严格的农产品生产标准和产品质量标准,提高农民的环境意识和科技意识,通过强化环境规制来促使农业生产者提高农业生产技术,提高农产品品质和产品的市场竞争力就显得尤为重要.
