旅游生态管理容量初探

随着旅游业规模的不断扩大,其对旅游目的地生态环境的不利影响引起了越来越多的关注,从而使旅游生态环境容量研究显得格外重要和迫切,为此本文对旅游生态环境管理容量概念进行了扩展,提出可操作性较强的具有全新内涵的生态管理容量概念,在此基础上讨论了生态管理容量的特点、研究内容、影响因素,并对生态管理容量的计算方法进行了探索性思考。     

生态旅游环境承载力预警系统研究

随着生态旅游的兴起,旅游可持续发展概念的提出,国内外对生态旅游环境承载力的研究从理论和实践上不断丰富和完善,但其单维和静态研究成为其研究发展方向上的一块难以逾越的障碍,本文正是在关注旅游生态系统和环境质量的时空演化和变化的基础上,提出运用预警理论和方法来多维分析由于旅游活动导致和产生的旅游环境的变化过程,以解决现今生态旅游环境承载力研究缺乏综合性、系统性、动态性和预警性的现实性问题。同时本文从系统论、控制论、决策论的角度,对生态旅游环境承载力预警系统的结构、特点、运行机制,基本数学模型进行了初步研究。     

基于人地关系的生态旅游地域系统演变定量分析

本研究通过建立人类活动无序度和生态环境承载力评价指标体系和模型,用简化系统结构关系的方法测算生态旅游地域系统熵值,以此来分析生态旅游地域系统的功能状况;生态旅游地域系统中人类活动主要是旅游者的旅游活动、当地社区和居民的活动和当地旅游业活动三个方面,构建了27个具体指标来评价人类活动的无序度;生态环境承载力主要通过自然基础、生态系统、水资源和大气环境四个方面共8个具体指标来测算。最后通过生态旅游地域系统熵变即两个不同时刻人类活动无序度熵变和生态环境承载力熵变差值,来判断生态旅游地域系统在时间断面上的演变方向和可持续发展能力。     

Partnerships in place: Facilitating rural local government entrepreneurialism in Newfoundland and Labrador

Rural local governments across Canada, including those in Newfoundland and Labrador, struggle with many of their day-to-day operational activities, including providing appropriate drinking water, wastewater, and garbage collection services, among other essential services, and rarely have capacity to facilitate local economic development activities. In recent times, entrepreneurialism has been noted as having potential for rural local governments, yet little research has been completed to determine its presence and relevance for municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador. In response, we examined eight case study local governments in Newfoundland and Labrador to determine if, and how, entrepreneurialism was present in municipal efforts to increase economic prosperity in their communities. Findings suggest that while rural local governments continue to face challenges due to declining support for rural development from provincial and federal governments and increased downloading of responsibilities, some communities have established ways to remain resilient through partnerships and building on place-based assets. This exploratory study provides a basis for further in-depth research to determine the extent and approaches to entrepreneurialism in local government in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.     

Planning with communities in regeneration projects: toward a gendered civic capacity

This article explores the central role that gender plays across a variety of scales in the development of civic capacity among residents of Meonot-Yam neighborhood in Bat-Yam, Israel. The article proposes a new, gendered reading of civic capacity which involves transforming women’s and men’s ways of thinking and acting out of the ordinary in this regeneration project, with the aim of updating and revising the term as related to planning with communities approaches. Using a performative understanding of gender based on feminist poststructuralist analysis to identity knowledge/power and place, we combine the analysis of community and personal scales, looking at ‘paradoxical moments’ to understand how the transformation in power relations has taken place and how civic capacity is developed. We do so by conducting a critical analysis of biweekly meeting minutes and in-depth interviews held over a three-year period (2010–2013). This civic capacity development is particularly important for women who manage to enhance and increase their social capital throughout those years.     

略论土地综合承载力评价指标体系的设计思路——我国沿海地区案例分析

长期以来,作为我国社会经济迅速发展的东部沿海地区,其人地关系日趋紧张,人口、资源、环境等各类问题也日趋激化,谋求区域发展的可持续性已成为该地区的必然选择。而土地综合承载力又恰恰为可持续发展的实施提供了切入点。本文在对土地承载力重新审视的基础上,以全新的视角重构土地承载力的理论框架,并以我国东部沿海地区为例,对区域土地承载力的评判指标体系进行了全新设计,为进一步的区域土地承载力综合评价奠定基础。     

The Politics of Moral Patience

Abstract

Pluralistic societies perpetually seek for ways to get along, given the reality of that pluralism. That search generates pluralistic responses which include forbearance, concord, tolerance, radical democracy, among many others. This paper begins to explore the putatively rich notion of moral patience as a way of being in the world as Christians; moral patience as a way of living with the ‘‘other’’ without reducing the importance of the Christian faith and practice; moral patience as a way of setting the stage for living with long-term difference but without terminal division; moral patience not just as a way of taking a long time to make decisions, but as the finding of a way forward and getting on with life without first coming to some form of unified resolution. Specifically, my purpose is to argue that moral patience creates time and space for the Christian community to develop an ethic of discipleship; i.e. a politics that finds its source in the patience of God, in the imitation of Jesus Christ, and in the power of the Spirit. Such moral patience acts as a sort of political and ethical capacity, and encourages us to believe that because God has time, we also have time — to listen, to be vulnerable, to engage in important conflicts without becoming violent, to refuse to be driven by the speed that society seeks to impose on us, and to resist the notion that the world and other people are directly in our control — indeed to resist the notion that we are radically autonomous individual entities. The paper concludes with a brief glance at how the Christian practice of moral patience might shape work in a number of fields of moral inquiry.     

EVALUATION OF CAPACITY SPECTRUM METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE PEAK INELASTIC RESPONSES

The accuracy of the capacity spectrum method (CSM) depends on the precise estimation of equivalent period and damping ratio as well as the modification of the demand spectrum. In this paper, the CSM provided in ATC-40 for estimating the peak inelastic responses is evaluated. First, the effect of equivalent period and damping ratio estimation on the accuracy of the CSM is assessed. Analyses results indicate that the difference between estimation methods is large when the structural nonlinearity is large, but becomes negligible as the hardening ratio increases. Next, the reduction factors provided in ATC-40 and Eurocode are evaluated. It is found that the acceleration responses obtained using the factor of Eurocode is closer to the actual ones than those obtained using the factors of ATC-40. Finally, the demand spectrum is constructed using the peak absolute acceleration and pseudo-acceleration. The results obtained using the peak absolute acceleration is found to be generally larger than those obtained using the pseudo-ones. Since the original CSM generally underestimates the response, the use of peak absolute acceleration in the construction of demand spectrum produces the response relatively closer to the exact one. However, the use of peak absolute acceleration overestimates the response more when the original CSM overestimates the response.
