Cities,Clusters and Creative Industries: The Case of Film and Television in Scotland

Interest in the creative industries has burgeoned in recent years. They convey many positive images for the development of cities and regions in an increasingly market-driven, globalized economy. The cluster concept has had an important influence on thinking and policy towards the creative industries. The purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which these ideas help to explain a particular situation. It analyses the various forces affecting the performance of the film and television industries in Scotland. It concludes that these sectors have a more modest economic impact than commonly assumed and that national and transnational organizations and government regulation are more important than localized networks in influencing their scale and durability.     

省级多维减贫经验:以青海省为例

多维减贫是指"以减少贫困人口为基础,缓解贫困问题的恶性发展及贫困问题的衍生影响,针对贫困的多个维度,如收入贫困、人类贫困、信息贫困及生态贫困等形成测定和监控系统,进行综合性防治,促进人类生存发展与自由。"本文以青海省为例,在省级层面对多维减贫进行必要性及可能性的分析,并在总结经验的基础上得出了指导实践的相对成熟的减贫新思想。     

京都大学人文科学研究所共同研究班：以中国近代史为例

日本京都大学人文科学研究所(以下简称“人文研”)的共同研究,可以说取得了一些多少令学界关注的成果。当然,共同研究也只能构筑在个人研究的基础上,这一点毋庸赘言;不过,共同研究超越了个人研究单纯的总和这一点也确凿无疑。在此我想介绍一下自己也深深参与其中的“人文研”中     

“156项工程”项目是怎样落地的?--以湖南为例

湖南“156项工程”项目的落地,经历了一个复杂的过程。首先是对项目地址进行科学而严格的筛选,地址确定以后,进入项目建设阶段。“156项工程”项目的建设资金由国家提供,项目设计图纸的核心部分由苏联提供,项目施工在苏联专家指导下由中国承建单位负责。竣工以后,项目必须经过严格验收方可投产。“156项工程”项目投产所需的劳动力,主要来自老技术工人、新招工人,还有少数大中专院校和技校毕业生。投产中的技术问题在苏联专家指导下解决,投产后均取得了良好效益。在“156项工程”项目的建设过程中形成了科学精神、自主创新精神、协作精神、艰苦奋斗精神,这笔精神财富值得深入总结并传承。     

清代晋商茶叶贸易定量分析——以嘉庆朝为例

到底是何等规模的利润,驱使着清代前期的山西商人在与家乡相隔万里的福建、恰克图之间跋山涉水从事长途贩运?有关清代晋商茶叶贸易的利润和经营绩效问题,引起了国内国际经济史学界的广泛关注,其中尤以刘建生、吴丽敏的《晋商茶叶贸易绩效分析》为代表,对这一问题进行了剖析,但遗憾的是,由于史料阙如,这些论述多以定性分析为主,究竟清代晋商茶帮的利润率是多少,目前尚没有定量研究成果问世。本文力图在一个相对纯的环境内,选择嘉庆年作为时代背景,通过对茶路长度的考证、山西茶商每天运程的平均里数、当时人均每日的消耗、船、马、驼的平均运力及消耗,得出运输成本。以武夷山各类茶叶的均价和恰克图茶叶的平均售价进行比较,得出茶商的平均收益,进而推算出清代晋商茶叶贸易的利润率。     

日本的产业技术扶持政策与实施手段 以太阳能产业为例

日本经济的核心是日本企业以持续技术革新为基础的国际竞争力。日本企业之所以能持续进行技术革新是与日本政府的政策引导和支持分不开的。本文指出日本政府在国家总体目标之下,利用自身的信息优势和资源优势,根据时代的变迁,制定不同的产业技术政策,通过政策引导,使企业能够明确技术革新的方向,并通过对市场的增进为新技术提供需求,从而促进新兴产业的发展。     

从"固川保藏"到"筹边援藏":晚清西南边防意识之形成——以丁宝桢督川十年(1876-1886)为例

"固川保藏"、"固川图藏"、"筹边援藏"是晚清经营西南边务的封疆大吏们逐步提出的西南边防战略.本文以丁宝桢十年督川治边为例,探讨晚清政府在海防、塞防俱紧背景下川藏经营思想的形成以及"固川保藏"、"筹边援藏"等边防策略的初步实施状况.     

The Value of an Ocean View: an Example of Hedonic Property Amenity Valuation

This paper presents a method of quantifying variation in quality in an amenity as a component of an hedonic property amenity valuation. The paper considers the residential land amenity of an ocean view, a situation where there is typically substantial variation in the quality of the view between sites. The method is effectively a scoring system based on three sub-characteristics of the ocean view. It is illustrated by application to a coastal housing subdivision in Western Australia. The results provide an estimate of the increase in the sale price of a site attributable to the quality of the site’s ocean view. The method has a potential role in coastal land use management decisions.     

Berlin: The Metropolis as a Production Space

Metropolitan regions can be regarded as economic areas comprising various sub-economies with different forms of economic and spatial organization. The purpose of this article is to undertake a critical appraisal of the vision of Berlin as a 'service metropolis' through empirical observation of sectoral trends and locational patterns in the city, and to establish that Berlin's urban area is a major production space with a complex fabric of specialized production districts. This spatial organization will be examined in terms of the level of agglomeration of various sub-economies with special reference to the formation of local enterprise clusters in the Berlin economic area. Berlin's specialization profile and the employment trend in the city compared with other metropolitan cities in Germany make it clear that the metropolis of Berlin is under threat as a production space, and this threat partly stems from the way in which the real estate business has developed in the Berlin area.     

博物馆古建筑保护与功能提升——以南京博物院老大殿改造为例

南京博物院主体建筑老大殿,是中国近代建筑中唯一采用现代结构形式的仿辽代建筑。近年,南京博物院采用整体顶升、隔震加固等先进技术对其进行修缮保护,不仅有效增强了其抗震水平,还扩大了建筑的空间面积、提升了空间使用功能、丰富了展示内容和方式,为优秀古建筑的保护利用提供了新的技术思路,也为优秀古建筑的保护利用与博物馆馆舍建设及博物馆各项事业发展的相互促进积累了成功经验。     

Some Problems of Measuring the Efficiency of Production Links Within an Industry

The economic benefits derived from the grouping of interrelated production units in industrial nodes are analyzed, with particular reference to the Ufa and Sterlitamak-Salavat chemical nodes of the Bashkir ASSR. Savings are achieved from the joint use of raw materials and intermediate products in the characteristic stage-by-stage technological sequence of chemical production. The joint construction and operation of service industries and utilities also yield economies. Techniques for measuring these savings are proposed.     

论书画展览的选题与策划——以天津博物馆系列书画展为例

近二十年来,我国博物馆举办的书画展览数量大幅增加、观众数量急剧增长、社会关注热度持续升温,引发参观热潮的现象级书画大展频频出现,多家博物馆联合办展成为主流模式.天津博物馆利用馆藏明清时期书画优势,以真实性、代表性为原则遴选展品,对内系统梳理馆藏、以项目促青年人才成长,对外普及古代书画知识,体现学术性与普及性的统一,成功举办了一系列书画展览.优秀的书画展览离不开"人"与"物"的支撑,即策展团队的学术科研力量、策展能力和藏品的数量、质量至关重要.学术科研成果的支撑是书画展览成功的关键,同时展览也要着力解决展品保护与利用的矛盾、展览选题角度单一、同质化倾向严重、所选展品对主题支撑力不足等问题.     

明清边疆社会的习俗互化——以海南女性生活为例

不同族群对我国边疆地区的共同开发奠定了边疆社会的基本形态。秦汉以后,大陆移民就不断进入海南,他们在与其他族群共同开发海南的过程中也渐渐互化了习俗,女性在社会经济、婚姻家庭、衣着服饰等领域均扮演了重要角色,对汉黎风俗互化起了积极作用,在明清时期最终促成具有海南地方特色习俗的形成。     

National Systems of Innovations and Natural Resources Clusters: Evidence from Copper Mining Industry Patents

While natural resource-based industries are very efficient exploiting the natural endowments in developing countries and having an important participation in world markets (e.g. copper in Chile), most of them have not generated economic development based in knowledge-based resources in their societies. While this article reviews the national system of innovations in which the mining industry in Chile is based, we cannot neglect the importance of an international dimension in terms of its spatial dimension of the system of innovations [Fromhold-Eisebith, M. (2007) Bridging scales in innovation policies: How to link regional, national and international innovation systems, European Planning Studies, 15, pp. 217–233.] given the globalized characteristics of the mining industry. We found that Chile contributes 36% of the total copper production in the world but the investments in research and development are very low compared with the revenues of the industry and there are almost no patents originated in Chile registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) data base, the most important market for knowledge-based innovations. We can conclude that Chile is still depending on comparative advantages rather than constructed advantages [Cooke, P. (2007) To construct regional advantage from innovation systems first build policy platforms, European Planning Studies, 15, pp. 179–194.].     

中华疆域观念与历代边疆政策--以东北疆域为例

以中原王朝为中心的服事制、郡县制、羁縻制 ,最后构成中华多元一体的疆域观念与制度 ,充分体现了中华帝国的统治体系与秩序。古代东北地区的疆域史与边疆政策史均属于中华疆域史的范畴 ,呈现为东北地区与中华帝国的紧密联系与不可分割。     

《左传》的口头叙事研究——以重耳故事为例

《左传》中的重耳故事是一个完整的、独立的、自足的叙事圆环,可以作为一个独立的叙事整体进行研究,也是《左传》采录口头文本的痕迹的最佳例证。以口头诗学理论三个层面的结构性单元(程式、主题、故事范式)逐层分析《左传》中的重耳故事可以发现:《左传》对重耳的叙事多次运用了口头叙事所特有的主题与重复叙事,《左传》中的重耳故事与西方的英雄传说在故事范式方面有着惊人的一致性。这些分析基本确定《左传》中有关重耳的记载源于当时口耳相传的故事文本,而并非史实的直录或作者的构思创作。     

旧石器时代社会的民族学研究试探——以潘色旺遗址的营地为例

潘色旺遗址于 1 96 4年被发现于一个挖沙场中 ;从此以后 ,常年发掘 ,至今从未间断。从 1 96 4年到 1 985年 ,发掘研究工作由勒化 -古汉 (ＬＥＲＯＩ -ＧＯＵＲＨＡＮ )教授主持 ,他既是史前学家也是民族学家① 。他1 986年去世后 ,这项工作由他以前领导的考古工作队集体继续进行。遗址位于塞纳河边 ,北距巴黎约 80公里。 (图一 )史前人占用此地之时 ,这里是露天旷野 ,每年都被洪水带来的淤泥覆盖。正是由于这些淤泥的缓慢堆积 ,才使史前营地的各种遗迹得以原样保存下来。在堆积中发现了将近 2 0层相互叠压的居住面 ;有的层位间距较大 ,有的…
