寿康宫沿革略考

寿康宫位于紫禁城外西路,慈宁宫西侧,是皇太后的生活区。始建于雍正十三年(1735年)十二月,建成于乾隆元年(1736年)十月。是乾隆皇帝为其生母孝圣宪太后建造的寝宫,其后历有沿用。这一区建筑是清代形成的布局,是单体建筑形制的群体组合。布局完整,功能、设施齐全。各建筑之间既主次关系分明,又与总体布局和谐统一。本文结合维修工程,通过对史料的分析及实地考察,综合论述了寿康宫营建的历史背景、原因、规划特点以及寿康宫与寿安宫、慈宁宫的历史关系,提出了存疑的一些问题。

流动视角下生活方式型企业主移民综合感知及归属倾向研究——以丽江束河古镇为例

以移民聚集地丽江束河古镇为例,运用质性分析法中的半结构式访谈法对26位生活方式型企业主移民进行访谈,从流动性视角出发,在预调研、半结构式访谈和二手资料分析基础上,对束河古镇此类移民群体的综合感知进行研究,编码分析共得出4个一级类目（社会交往、自我认知、生活环境、负面感知）以及12个二级类目,详细分析各类目之间的关系和意义后,深入探讨了移民群体的归属倾向问题,剖析该问题的主要影响因素并提出了具体策略,为该类移民发展提供了保障。     

Evolution of Knowledge Intensive Services in a High-tech Region: The Case of Hsinchu,Taiwan

Communication costs have reduced markedly owing to improvements in communication technology. Despite this development, face-to-face interactions facilitated by geographic agglomeration remain important in high-tech innovation activities owing to the ambiguity and uncertainty related to new knowledge. Consequently, location remains a major influence on global strategies of transnational companies, and enables global cross-border divisions of labour in high-tech industries. On the one hand, this phenomenon transforms the geographic distribution and structure in industry; on the other hand, it creates demand for strategic functions in management and organizational innovation. The emergence, introduction and operation of such functions all rely on the support of specialized service industries. During the two decades of development of the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park (HSIP), the area around HSIP saw the gradual formation of a distinctive and strong network including production, incubation and research and development (R&D) activities. Within this network, knowledge intensive services provide a crucial interface between the supportive environment and technological infrastructure. This investigation analyses the interactions, geographic transformation and distribution between HSIP firms and producer services around HSIP, as well as the coordination between HSIP firms and research institutions. This investigation found that competition strongly influences the development and geographic transformation of producer services. Together with different industrial resources, they formed production networks. Such networks caused the development and geographic transformation of the Hsinchu area, and thus further influenced the growth of knowledge-intensive service businesses.     

Climate change and Zhou relocations in early Chinese history

In Chinese history, the development of the Zhou tribes and the dynasties that succeeded them between 3550 and 2200 BP in the middle reaches of the Yellow River is known as the period of ‘Five Relocations’. Most of these relocations appear to have been forced by the pressure of nomadic invasions and occupations from the northern steppe. Historians simply attributed these relocations to political and military causes. However, palaeoclimatic studies show that the Zhou tribes and their successor dynasties developed at the demise of the Holocene Climatic Optimum when regional climate became highly variable and unstable. An integrated analysis of environmental change over the Loess Plateau and the Mongolian steppe facilitates a credible understanding of the linkage between climatic events and these relocations. It indicates that the relocations caused an expansion or contraction of the settled regions over the drought-prone semi-arid lands. During climatic amelioration, dry farming societies pushed upward to the Loess Plateau where increased precipitation and soil moisture allowed cereals to be cultivated. When hit by droughts and the associated disasters, both the dry farming societies and the nomadic tribes had to move southward to find an environment suitable for their food production. Migration and relocation were, therefore, basic strategies to secure the resources necessary to sustain an agricultural economy. The settled frontier was pulled back as dry farming societies from the upland plateau retreated to the lowland riverbanks of the Guanzhong Basin. Even though there were political and military intentions, climatic events played an essential role in the relocations of the Zhou tribes and the successive dynasties.
