城市景观规划中的防洪策略--以2002年欧洲特大洪灾为例

近年来，由于全球变暖、不合理地改造自然、城市化进程加剧以及人们的思想松懈等原因，世界上城市洪灾发生较为频繁，给各国城市和人民带来重大损失。城市防洪已成为城市发展过程中备受关注的问题。为此，以2002年8月欧洲部分国家爆发的特大洪水为例，在分析其原因的基础上，提出了城市景观规划中的防洪策赂，希望它能对我国的城市防洪事业和城市景观规划工作起到借鉴作用。     

SIMULATING HYDROLOGIC AND WATER QUALITY IMPACTS IN AN URBANIZING WATERSHED1

ABSTRACT: The Hydrologic Simulation Program‐Fortran (HSPF) was calibrated and used to assess the future effects of various land development scenarios on water quality in the Polecat Creek watershed in Caroline County, Virginia. Model parameters related to hydrology and water quality were calibrated and validated using observed stream flow and water quality data collected at the watershed outlet and the outlets of two sub water sheds. Using the county's Comprehensive Plan, land use scenarios were developed by taking into account the trends and spatial distributions of future development. The simulation results for the various land use scenarios indicate that runoff volume and peak rate increased as urban areas increased. Urbanization also increased sediment loads mainly due to increases in channel erosion. Constituent loads of total Kjeldal nitrogen, orthophosphorus, and total phosphorous for Polecat Creek watershed slightly decreased under future development scenarios. These reductions are due to increases in urban areas that typically contribute smaller quantities of nitrogen and phosphorous, as compared to agricultural areas. However, nitrate loads increased for the future land use scenarios, as compared to the existing land use. The increases in nitrate loads may result from increases in residential land and associated fertilizer use and concurrent decreases in forested land. The procedures used in this paper could assist local, state, and regional policy makers in developing land management strategies that minimize environmental impacts while allowing for future development.     

INFLUENCES OF WATERSHED URBANIZATION AND INSTREAM HABITAT ON MACROINVERTEBRATES IN COLD WATER STREAMS1

ABSTRACT: We analyzed data from riffle and snag habitats for 39 small cold water streams with different levels of watershed urbanization in Wisconsin and Minnesota to evaluate the influences of urban land use and instream habitat on macroinvertebrate communities. Multivariate analysis indicated that stream temperature and amount of urban land use in the watersheds were the most influential factors determining macroinvertebrate assemblages. The amount of watershed urbanization was nonlinearly and negatively correlated with percentages of Ephemeroptera‐Plecoptera‐Trichoptera (EPT) abundance, EPT taxa, filterers, and scrapers and positively correlated with Hilsenhoff biotic index. High quality macroinvertebrate index values were possible if effective imperviousness was less than 7 percent of the watershed area. Beyond this level of imperviousness, index values tended to be consistently poor. Land uses in the riparian area were equal or more influential relative to land use elsewhere in the watershed, although riparian area consisted of only a small portion of the entire watershed area. Our study implies that it is extremely important to restrict watershed impervious land use and protect stream riparian areas for reducing human degradation on stream quality in low level urbanizing watersheds. Stream temperature may be one of the major factors through which human activities degrade cold‐water streams, and management efforts that can maintain a natural thermal regime will help preserve stream quality.     

城市化与城市生态化是一个过程的两个方面

城市化必须同时伴随着城市生态化,或者说城市化和城市生态化是一个过程的两个方面而不是两个过程。工业革命以来,世界的城市化进程已经成为一个不争的事实,然而19世纪前城市化过程往往是只注重城市化而忽视生态化,甚至以牺牲生态来实现城市化,以致城市变成了生态的对立物。严峻的城市环境迫使人们反思以往城市建设模式和理念,上世纪70年代生态城市理念的提出,使人们有可能从城市生态化的视角来审视城市化,把城市化和城市生态化统一起来。这具有极大的理论和实践意义。     

阳江市城市热岛效应特征分析

通过对1998年-2003年阳江旧站和阳春新站同期观测数据的分析,得知阳江热岛基本存在着秋冬季强、春夏季弱,一天中以08:00最强、14:00最弱的特点,但具体情况还跟天空状况有关。结果显示,天空状况和海陆风是影响阳江热岛的主要气象因素,其中天空状况对热岛发生频率及其强度具有明显的影响,表现出晴到少云状况下出现热岛的频率较多云到阴时高的特点。结果表明,阳江市城市热岛效应整体上不是非常明显,热岛强度以弱热岛和无热岛为主,炎热(或酷暑)天气较少,通常只在台风来临前,才有1～2天的闷热天。     

农村城镇化规划及环境效益

实现新农村规划,彻底改变以前农村分散庭院式居住的落后面貌,实现农村生活城镇化、现代化、居住楼房小区化,饮用经过处理达标的饮用水,炊灶利用现代化的清洁能源。楼房有利于实行集中供热取暖,改变过去落后的能源使用方式,可节省大量能源,减少碳排放量,有利于环境保护,具有明显的环境效益,建立农村美好的幸福家园。     

江苏省人口数据空间离散化研究及其精度分析

针对传统人口数据表达方法在表达人口空间分布上的不足,设计了人口数据离散化模型,通过分析人口数据与土地覆被信息之间的关系,将分县统计的人口数据分配到空间1 km×1 km栅格单元上。在江苏省的研究表明,利用该方法能获得比较高的精度。基于离散化后的人口数据,发现江苏省人口空间分布有两大特点：(1)人口分布自城市中心向城市外围由密集渐变为分散;(2)苏南的城市人口规模显著大于苏中和苏北,苏南、苏中、苏北三大区域的人口城镇化水平呈现由高到低排列。江苏省人口空间分布的上述特点与江苏省三大区域的经济发展状况及各个区域的城镇化水平相一致。离散化后生成的1 km×1 km栅格人口数据,能够精确表达人口分布的区域差异,可以作为制订资源开发、环境规划、区域发展战略等重要参考依据。     

Climate change and its consequences for water and wastewater management

Life, in combination with solar radiation and abiotic processes, is most probably the reason why liquid water has existed on Earth for over billions of years, and the global mean temperature has remained in a lifeenabling range. Efforts to limit or even reverse global warming must be derived from the knowledge of the Earth’s complex life-support system. In this context, the balance between liquid and gaseous water plays a crucial role, and water management becomes an important field of innovation and action, globally, on the scale of watersheds but also on the very local level. Cascading use, reuse, and temporary storage of water in urban settings must be considered to limit over-extraction of water from natural resources, and to maintain the life supporting function of ecosystems. At the same time, public health requirements, cost efficiency, and reliability demands are to be met.     

多维视角下新型城市化对中国二氧化碳排放影响的时空变化特征

城市化和碳排放之间关系密切,现有研究多从单一维度来衡量城市化,而忽略了城市化的多维性.本文从人口、经济、社会、空间和生态5个维度建立了新型城市化的评价体系,利用中国30个省、自治区和直辖市2004—2016年的面板数据,基于熵值法和地理加权回归（GWR）模型,从多维视角下研究了新型城市化对中国二氧化碳排放影响的时空变化特征,结果表明：①北京的新型城市化水平最高,东部沿海地区的新型城市化水平高于西部、西南和东北地区.②新型城市化对碳排放有显著促进作用.人口城市化、社会城市化和生态城市化对碳排放的影响存在明显的区域差异,在不同地区分别表现出促进作用和抑制作用,经济城市化和空间城市化对碳排放有显著促进作用.③人口城市化对碳排放影响的空间集聚性呈现出从西南、南部及东部地区往北部、东北部转移的特征.经济城市化对碳排放影响的空间集聚性呈现出从南部往东部沿海及东北地区逆时针转移的特征.社会城市化对碳排放影响的空间集聚性呈现出从南部、西南地区往西部及东北部顺时针转移的特征.空间城市化对碳排放影响的空间集聚性呈现出从北部、东北部地区往西部、西南地区逆时针转移的特征.生态城市化对碳排放影响的空间集聚性呈现出从东部往中西部转移的特征.     

Impacts of urbanization: diversity and the symbiotic relationships of rural,urban, and spaces in-between

This Impacts article proposes strategies for mitigating negative impacts of urbanization in rural locations in the United States. Issues addressed include impacts of population growth and development, loss of agricultural lands, and impacts of climate change on agriculture and rural communities. Conclusions are supported by stakeholder survey data, geographic information systems-based data, and desktop reviews of research journal publications. We propose a sustainable, diversified approach that supports mitigation of issues, including increasing demand on food production and decline of rural communities. A key issue that we address is where we will find suitable landscapes to reduce enough food for 9.6 billion people living in 2050.

Urban and rural development planners are grappling with solutions to escalating impacts global populations, stresses on food production, and effects of climate change. Solutions are identified, including strengthening rural and urban contexts by establishing connected and interdependent links that support diversification of rural and urban contexts as viable solutions to these issues.

Diversified rural-to-urban sustainable agriculture production is a promising approach to addressing climate change impacts. Organic agriculture principles exhibit strong diversity and are accredited by United States Department of Agriculture as the only federally certified sustainable agriculture practice in the United States. Sustainable agriculture practices are evolving into profitable diversified alternative food sources. We offer substantiated alternative solutions for remediating impacts of urbanization on rural agriculture and communities. Collectively, these solutions can strengthen symbiotic relationships between sustainable agriculture and rural communities, addressing our growing population issues and preserving our dwindling farmlands and rural communities.
