触摸野性之美

<正>大多数人对野生动物的最初认识都来自于动物园或电视节目,而要真切感知,就需走进自然。一方水土养一方人,人类如此,动物亦如此。2008年,我开始涉足生态摄影和观鸟领域,走过国内许多生物多样性热点地区,受到各级林业部门和野生动物保护协会的支持和帮助,在野外探寻拍摄珍稀物种。为此我也曾数次往返非洲、欧洲、东南亚等地,在这些最亲近原始和自然的旅行中,一次次地与野生动物们亲密接触——伴着瀑布声在树下享用早餐,会有小猴子时不时地到餐桌上抢水果;在石头铺

解读巴黎的城市色彩之美

<正>"只有法国这样的国家才能创造巴黎。"——恩格斯巴黎是法国的首都,坐落在巴黎盆地中央的塞纳河畔,摩登、格调、高贵、罗曼蒂克几乎成为巴黎的代名词。同时巴黎也是法兰西文化的象征,拥有1500年的悠久历史。巴黎整个城市建筑布局与建设的恢宏气势及协调和谐是笔者所考察过的欧洲城市中最令人印象深刻的一个。巴黎曾被拿破仑夸赞为是"是世界上最美     

THE SIZE OF NATURE RESERVES AND COSTS OF THEIR MAINTENANCE

A paper devoted to nature reserve size in the USSR, and more specifically to whether the areas of such reserves are adequate in particular natural zones and for particular species, determines that too many zapovedniki presently are too small to carry out their intended functions properly. In fact, until quite recently, in spite of a dramatic expansion of the total area and number of nature reserves, average reserve size has decreased. A trend toward decreasing reserve size and increasing per hectare maintenance expenditures can be noted as the level of economic development characteristic of particular natural zones increases (translated by Jay K. Mitchell, PlanEcon, Inc., Washington, DC 20005).     

社区的邻里性本质：内涵、特征及其实践意义

社区作为社会与城市发展的践行单元,如何回归本质并形成可持续的驱动力,是社区发展的关键。基于相关研究总结,邻里性强调关系的联结、情感的认同与归属、内嵌着“我向”意识等,极具内化性特征,是社区本质的重要体现。为此,本研究结合广州15个社区的案例调研,通过因子分析法(EFA、CFA)来探究邻里性的因子结构,进而剖析现代城市语境下邻里性的深层内涵与特征,分析各类型社区的邻里性特征差异及可能的影响因素,回应相关的共同体本质理论,综合探讨邻里性的实践意义。研究总体认为,邻里性内含了“家园感”、“凝聚力”、“行动力”三大主因子,蕴含了丰富的内生驱动能量;社区应回归其邻里性本质,根据各类型社区的问题、特征与资源,培育社区自身的能量与资本,推动“内生驱动”式的良性发展。     

论湖泊的自然衰亡与可持续开发利用——以杭州西湖古今开发为例

从地理学角度看,湖泊都有自然沼泽化的趋势。人类活动可以加剧或者减缓这种趋势。杭州西湖就是由于人们古往今来的长期良性开发,才得以保存至今而且成为著名风景胜地的。在阐明这一原理的基础上,本文分析评价了近20余年来人们对此湖的开发行为,结论是:良性和非良性开发都在持续。这一结论对国内许多同类湖泊而言具有一定普遍性或代表性。     

THE NATURE OF POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY AND WAYS OF INCREASING ITS GEOGRAPHICAL CONTENT

Political geography's essence and place in the system of Soviet geographical sciences are assessed and key elements of political geographical analysis defined. The latter include the space-time paradigm, the principle of territoriality, the study of center-periphery relationships, analysis of regional planning policy and theory, consideration of the role of the church and armed forces, and the importance of political geographical regionalization. Examples of Soviet work and thinking in many of these areas are provided (translated by H. L. Haslett, Leamington Spa, UK).     

NATURAL CAUSE-AND-EFFECT RELATIONSHIPS AND THE PREDICTION OF ENDEMIC GOITER

The incidence of endemic goiter in southeast Kazakhstan, a highly goitrogenic province of the Soviet Union, is related to the geochemical setting of the region's natural areal complexes. The occurrence of endemic goiter is usually attributed simply to iodine deficiency. However other chemical elements also tend to reduce or enhance the goitrogenic properties of a particular environment. A detailed analysis of the various environments in southeast Kazakhstan shows that not all parts of the region are equally goitrogenic and that high, medium and low risk areas may be distinguished. The various natural areal complexes of different levels of goitrogenicity are mapped together with actually observed incidence of the disease. It is recommended that public health activities, such as the provision of iodized salt, be directed in particular at the high and medium risk areas.
