日本工业化、城市化进程中的"农地非农化"

在人多地少的国家里,如何正确处理“农地非农化”与保障农业发展和粮食安全的相互关系,是顺利推进工业化、城市化必须合理解决的难题之一。日本战后工业化、城市化与“农地非农化”的历程和经验教训表明：“农地非农化”与“农民非农化”和“市民化”应该基本同步,“农地非农化”必须与耕地保护相结合,实现农地的合理流转,促进农业的规模化经营,“农地非农化”主要应该通过市场机制的作用实现,政府进行必要的合理的规划和调控等。     

Study on Economic growth,Urbanization and Sustainable Utilization of Cultivated Land in China

Abstract

By means of the dynamic regression model, this paper analyzes the relationships among economic growth, urbanization and changes of cultivated land in China, finds that the ratio of cultivated land occupied by economic growth is decreasing with social and economic growth. And, based on that, some policy suggestions on how to promote the sustainable use of cultivated land in China are put forward.     

Research on Jiuquan-Jiayuguan-Yumen Region's Dynamic Changing of Urbanization Based on Self-Organizing Model

Abstract

Based on the self-organizing modeling principle in the dissipative structure theory, the paper regards the migration coupling between the regions as the influence factor to create the model of regional urbanization simulation and prediction, which is more practical to simulate the space-time and dynamic evolvement characteristics of regional urbanization level. According to the historical data about the population and urbanization of Jiuquan, Jiayuguan and Yumen cities, the past 50 years' dynamic evolvement trend is simulated and the following 50 years' dynamic evolvement trend is predicted with the urbanization dynamic evolvement model based on the self-organizing model. The analysis of effective factors such as economic increase, resources exploitation, ecosystem construction, traffic location, national policies, population migration are given, then the reasons of the dynamic evolvement differences of the three cities' urbanization are drawn. The study suggests that the self-organizing model is fit for the simulation of Jiuquan-Jiayuguan-Yumen regional urbanization level in the past 50 years, and the departure between the stimulant and the actual data is under 5%, so it can be used to predict the urbanization future of the three cities. The predicted results show that the regional population will reach 1.074 million and the regional urbanization level will be 72.56%.     

Income Growth,Urbanization, Changing Life Style and Energy Requirements in China

Abstract

This paper aims to estimate the effects of changing life style and consumption demands driven by income growth and urbanization on increase of energy requirements in China, and estimate the impacts of improvement in household consumption on mitigating energy requirements towards 2020, based on input-output analysis and scenarios simulation approach. The result shows that energy requirement per capita has increased by 159% for urban residents and 147% for rural residents from 1995 to 2004. Growth in household consumption driven by income growth and urbanization may induce a successive increase in energy requirements in future. Per capita energy requirements of urban residents will increase by 240% during 2002–2015 and 330% during 2002–2020. Urbanization might lead to 0.75 billion ton of increment of energy requirements in 2020. About 45%–48% of total energy requirements in China might be a consequence of residents’ life styles and the economic activities to support consumption demands in 2020. Under low-carbon life style scenario, per capita energy requirements of urban residents may decline to 97% in 2015 and 92% in 2020 in contrast with baseline scenario. That implies that China needs to pay a great attention to developing green low-carbon life style in order to realize mitigation target towards 2020.     

江苏省城市土地集约利用与城市化关系的计量分析

在界定城市土地集约利用与城市化内涵的基础上,构建了城市土地集约利用与城市化的评价指标体系,采用改进的熵值法和功效函数法测度了江苏省1985～2008年城市土地集约利用水平与城市化水平,并运用协整检验、向量误差修正模型、脉冲响应函数和方差分解等计量经济分析方法探讨城市土地集约利用与城市化的动态关系和相互作用。研究表明：（1）1985年以来,江苏省城市土地集约利用水平、城市化水平总体上逐步提高;（2）城市化与城市土地集约利用均为一阶单整序列;（3）城市土地集约利用与城市化之间存在长期稳定的均衡关系,短期内城市化水平的提高不利于城市土地集约利用,但长期内其有利于城市土地集约利用,且长期的响应作用程度更显著、更稳定;（4）城市土地集约利用对来自城市化的冲击响应强烈,城市化的冲击对城市土地集约利用的解释水平达到了5844%,而城市化对来自城市土地集约利用的冲击响应较弱,城市土地集约利用的冲击对城市化的解释水平较低。因此,应采取长期而非短期的策略,有序推进城市化进程,加强土地利用监督管理,提高土地资源集约利用水平,不断提升土地资源对经济社会发展的保障能力     

Ecological risk assessment from the perspective of soil heavy metal accumulations in Xiamen city,China

Contamination of soils by heavy metals is of rising concern in many cities in China undergoing rapid urbanization. Here, we evaluate the severity of soil contamination by four heavy metals (arsenic, chromium, copper, and lead) at 146 urban and suburban sites within the city of Xiamen, Fujian, China. A multivariate regression model was proposed and developed to simulate heavy metals accumulation in urban and suburban soils, to identify the concentration and spatial distribution of heavy metals in soils, and to assess ecological risks by 2020. Results showed that, overall, Xiamen soils should be subject to low ecological risks due to heavy metals contamination by 2020, the ecological risks for urban soils were greater than suburban soils, nearly half of Xiamen soils are at moderate ecological risks, and many suburban soils experience low ecological risks. The methods demonstrate the potential to predict future ecological risks from heavy metals contamination which could inform pollution prevention and control measures.     

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.     

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.     

苏南人口密集地区城镇化过程中的环境特征分析

江苏省南部是长江三角洲地区的城镇密集区,该地区在工业化带动下的乡村城镇化迅速发展,非农业人口比重大,隐性城市化人口多。城镇化过程中存在以下环境问题：耕地资源减少,环境承载力降低;水污染严重,环境容量减少;工业污染物集中,小城镇排放的污染物浓度大;城镇化后生态风险增大。近期苏南乡村城镇化正处于高峰期,针对城镇化过程中的环境变化特点,应制定符合生态经济规律的小城镇规划,加强土地管理和环境管理,加快乡村城镇化进程,加快乡镇合并,实施乡镇工业经济增长方式的转变。     

中国城市综合灾害风险管理现状与对策

世界性城市灾害的加剧已成为城市化进程中的一大障碍，它也是城市化过程的产物。如何协调城市化过程与城市综合灾害风险管理，已成为当今世界、特别是像中国这样的发展中国家可持续发展的一大难题。在综述了中国城市灾害及其风险管理现状的基础上，通过对其薄弱环节的综合分析，依据作者提出的综合灾害风险管理模式，就中国城市综合灾害风险管理对策提出了3条政策建议：即完善城市灾害风险管理的信息保障机制，特别是灾害预警体系、信息共享体系和信息公开机制；加强城市综合减灾能力的建设，特别是明确城市建设中减灾工程与非工程设施投入的固定比例，完善减灾教育宣传体系和综合灾害应急响应的科技平台体系；建立城市综合灾害风险管理范式，特别是高度重视城市规划中综合减灾规划的改进和完善，加快拓展城市企业灾害保险与再保险和发展适应城市灾害风险的“安全社区”范式。
