奥运时段北京及近周边区域空气污染观测与比对分析

为研究奥运时段北京与近周边区域空气质量的相互影响,评价区域污染源协同减排对奥运时段北京空气质量的作用,寻求北京空气污染预警的有效途径,2008-06-01～2008-10-03在北京奥运村以及近周边的河北涿州、廊坊、香河、燕郊进行了空气污染联网观测.结果表明,夏秋季节北京和近周边首要污染物均为颗粒物,北京和周边可吸入颗粒物(PM10)平均质量浓度分别为(114±66)μg/m3和(128±59)μg/m3;细粒子(PM2.5)质量浓度则分别为(77±47)μg/m3和(81±51)μg/m3;臭氧质量浓度小时最大值的平均分别为(164±52)μg/m3和(165±55)μg/m3;NOx分别为(58±23)μg/m3和(25±14)μg/m3.相对于6月,奥运会时段(8月8日～8月24日)北京地区PM10、PM2.5、O3、NOx的浓度分别下降69%、62%、18%和41%,残奥会时段(9月6日～9月17日)PM10、PM2.5、O3、NOx的浓度分别下降56%、49%、17%和16%.北京大气中细粒子浓度受周边影响严重,而NOx有向周边扩散的潜势,夏季臭氧则表现出区域污染的特征.结合气象要素分析表明,近周边区域联网观测,有助于北京空气质量预警研究,并可为区域协同防控空气污染提供科学支撑.     

淮河下游小流域空间开发功能分区研究-以江苏沿海地区为例

基于区域开发与水环境保护的相互作用关系,以江苏沿海地区某小流域为研究对象,在流域层面上,建立定性与定量相结合,环境、经济、社会紧密结合的区域分析方法。选取水体使用功能、水质目标、清水通道、水体通达性、现状水质达标情况5项指标,将流域分为强约束区、较强约束区、中等约束区、弱约束区4类空间开发功能区。以此为依据,对各分区针对性提出了空间开发和产业发展的导向。其中水环境约束较弱的地区可以适当布局酿造、造纸、化工等水污染物排放量相对较大的产业;水环境约束较强的地区需要严格控制乃至禁止水污染物排放量大的产业,而适度发展编织品制造等不排水的农副产品加工业,或清洁生产水平先进、中水回用率高、排水量小的家具制造、木材加工等。     

人工快渗技术在我国农村地区水污染治理中的应用研究

概述了我国农村地区水污染现状、排放特征、主要处理工艺及其优缺点,在对人工快渗系统工艺原理和污染物去除机理深入分析的基础上,总结归纳了人工快渗工艺的技术经济优势,并结合技术的工艺改进和完善,探讨了人工快渗技术的适用性。然后结合深圳市白花洞村、四川省绵阳市北川县及北京昌平区农村工程实践,分析了人工快渗技术在村级分散型污水处理工程中的实际运行效果。理论研究和工程实践均表明:人工快渗技术及其改进工艺组合系统具有工艺简单、建设运行成本低、污染物去除效率高、出水效果好等特点,可有效地解决目前农村地区因受到资金、技术、人才等因素限制造成的污水处理能力低的问题,是一项十分适合我国农村地区的污水处理技术。     

寒冷地区小城镇污水处理厂调节池性能的研究

小城镇污水处理厂进水的水质水量变化较大,针对哈尔滨市松北集乐污水处理厂中调节池的作用进行了研究,以期为污水厂的优化运行提供技术支持以及为调节池的设计提供理论依据。在调节池前后以及后续单元的出水处取样,每隔2个小时取一个样,总共取24个小时,然后进行COD、氨氮、总氮、总磷的测定。在冬季调节池对于水质的调节有明显的作用,但是污水厂出水的总氮、总磷浓度达不到一级A的标准。建议可以将一部分剩余污泥回流到调节池以强化脱氮除磷效果。     

Driving factors and the implications of work choices of rural laborers in ecologically vulnerable areas in North China

Using rural survey data for the year 2009,we provide evidence of work choices of rural laborers in ecologically vulnerable areas in North China,and model these choices as a function of characteristics of individuals,households,and land endowments.The findings reveal large differences between males and females,and between non-farm employment and part-time farming engagement Land scarcity is still an important driving factor in non-farming participation of rural laborers in the study area;and in the current case of land productivity and the total amount of land,there are still surplus rural labor forces in the study area.Diversification of livelihood reduces the pressure on land,thus facilitating ecosystem conservation.So,the paper concludes with the argument that establishing coordination mechanisms among non-farm employment of rural laborers,agricultural production,and restoration of ecosystems are essential for mitigating the conflicts of ecological security,agricultural production,and rural development in mis area.     

Analysis of the Capacity of Wellspring Conservation in Limestone Areas of Jinan

Abstract

Spring water in the city of Jinan comes from the limestone areas. Understanding the capacity of wellspring conservation is a critical point to resume the perennial spewing of the spring water. The vegetation, soil, and other natural and human aspects related to the conservation are studied by using the methods of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and field investigation. In the end, suggestions for administration and planning as well as countermeasures are put forward.     

Direct and Indirect Effects of Socioeconomic Factors on Age at First Marriage in Slum Areas,Bangladesh

This article attempts to examine the influence of some selected predictor variables on female age at first marriage in slum areas of Bangladesh. A path and multiple classification analysis (MCA) approach have been adopted. Authors thought that respondent’s educational level and the mass media such as watching television have a significant direct impact on age at marriage, while the types of family and occupational status have an indirect effect on age at marriage.     

A study on the dilemmas of resource utilization and tourism in Africa

This paper explores, explains and discusses issues around the dilemma between local conservation of natural resources (often, endangered species and habitats) and tourism needs in Africa. Often and in constitutional terms, local people have a right to exploit and use resources endowed in their local area. However, tourists often are interested in viewing the vegetation and animal resources undisturbed. Inevitably, there is an undeclared animosity of values and interests between local communities and tourists and state agencies. As a result, the dilemma is thus of governance. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the governance dilemma of resource utilization and tourism in Africa in a bid to create an informed stewardship framework for sustainability. This is achieved by way of case studies and narratives from Africa. As such, this paper will be a review literature on how different communities perceive tourism and derive livelihoods from their immediate environment. It also explains how the external factors influence local needs and interests. A more sustainable and operational framework that reduces friction among stakeholders is suggested.

Social Dimensions of Urban Flood Experience,Exposure, and Concern

With growing urban populations and climate change, urban flooding is an important global issue, even in dryland regions. Flood risk assessments are usually used to identify vulnerable locations and populations, flooding experience patterns, or levels of concern about flooding, but rarely are all of these approaches combined. Furthermore, the social dynamics of flood concerns, exposure, and experience are underexplored. We combined geographic and survey data on household‐level measures of flood experience, concern, and exposure in Utah's urbanizing Wasatch Front. We asked: (1) Are socially vulnerable groups more likely to be exposed to flood risk? (2) How common are flooding experiences among urban residents, and how are these experiences related to sociodemographic characteristics and exposure? and (3) How concerned are urban residents about flooding, and does concern vary by exposure, flood experience, and sociodemographic characteristics? Although floodplain residents were more likely to be White and have higher incomes, respondents who were of a racial/ethnic minority, were older, had less education, and were living in floodplains were more likely to report flood experiences and concern about flooding. Flood risk management approaches need to address social as well as physical sources of vulnerability to floods and recognize social sources of variation in flood experiences and concern.
