ENGINEERING SPATIAL FIXES: RELATIONAL SPATIAL PRACTICES,STRATEGIC‐TOPOLOGICAL APPROACH AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FINNISH SCIENCE‐TECHNOLOGY DISTRICT

It can be argued that the relational approach, and especially the so‐called relational economic geography, would benefit from deeper engagement with the practical and strategic dimensions of spatial relations. The article proposes a notion of engineering spatial fix as a way to conceptualize these dimensions. The idea is to widen the conceptual sphere of relationality from spontaneous ties or abstract networked power effects towards relational spatial practices. Theoretically, the article aims to bridge the strategic‐relational and the network‐topological approaches through a stylized meso‐level practice‐oriented approach. It is suggested that in economic geography, relations can be grasped through two basic perspectives: relations as analytical lenses and relations as spatial practices. The article proposes that the relational spatial practices can be divided into two dimensions: topological and strategic. The article presents a case study of a science‐technology district of Turku in 1985–2001, which fleshes out the theoretical elaborations. In the process, the relational concept of synergy is utilized as a context‐specific strategic resource as the district evolves from an initial separate building to a distinct and materialized geographical structure.     

河谷型城市兰州中心城区人口规模初步研究

人口容量规模是城市发展的战略性议题,尤其河谷型城市。基于用地空间、水资源及生态环境三个主要影响因素,对河谷型城市人口容量规模的测算途径和方法进行了探讨和总结。以典型河谷型城市兰州中心城区为例,估算了其在该三个因素下的各自适宜人口规模和最大人口规模,进而反映出河谷用地空间对中心城区人口规模的限制作用较水资源及生态环境更为强烈,并根据木桶原理最短边,得出现有条件下适宜人口规模为230.56万、最大人口规模为342.17万的基本结论。     

"产业区"研究的主要学派与整合框架:学习型产业区的理论建构

20世纪70年代末期以来,“产业区”作为经济全球化背景下世界经济发展中最具有活力的区域而受到学术界的高度重视。伴随着研究的深入,相继形成了一些侧重点有所不同的理论学派,如弹性专业化学派、新的产业空闻学派、创新环境学派、产业集群学派、区域创新系统学派、第二级城市学派辱。本文重点阚释了各个学派的产生与发展过程、理论基础和主要观点,分析了各个学派的优点及其局限性,在此基础上探讨了通过学习型产业区的理论建构而对这些学派进行互补、整合的基本途径。     

Processing Complexity in Networks: A Study of Informal Collaboration and its Effect on Organizational Success

Do organizations with more collaborative partners perform better than organizations with fewer partners? And is this relationship conditional on the ability of those partners to provide nonredundant resources from their network of contact with other actors? This article answers these questions with data describing the participation of governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the Cooperative Funding Initiative (CFI), a program sponsored by the one of the five water management districts in Florida. Results show a positive relationship between the inclusion of more partners in a project and the chances of getting funded, but also that once the project becomes too inclusive; those chances decrease if the partners fill more structural holes (e.g., provide more nonredundant resources). In other words, organizations perform better by adding more partners as long as this addition does not result in excessive complexity. These results are valuable for the growing community of policy scholars seeking to understand the specific conditions under which collaborative behavior positively affects organizational performance.     

重庆巫山土城坡墓地Ⅲ区东汉墓葬发掘报告

土城坡墓地位于巫山县旧城区北部,是一处依山傍水的高台地。2005年元月,武汉市文物考古研究所联合巫山县文物管理所对墓地台顶南部大操场及附近地区(Ⅲ区)进行发掘,发掘面积约3571平方米,清理古代墓葬57座。本文主要报道的是Ⅲ区东汉时期4座墓葬的发掘材料。     

区域标志性形象:特征、构成与整合开发——以兰州市为例

区域标志性形象具有惟一性、象征性、传承性、资源性特征,其构成要素主要包括文化特色、景观塑造、空间布局、生态背景等。兰州自然环境意象独特,历史文化底蕴深厚,标志性形象的整合开发具有显著的区域优势,但目前存在的问题是,标志性形象的空间分布不均衡,景观形象不突出。鉴于兰州市标志性形象的现状,在综合分析区域差异和比较优势的基础上,提出该区域标志性形象的整合应构建兰州区域本底标志性形象,配置门户和窗口区域标志性,凸显黄河风情线整体标志性,塑造人与环境和谐的标志性。     

Industrial District and the Multiplication of Labour: The Chinese Apparel Industry in Prato,Italy

Since the 1990s, the Chinese apparel industry in Prato has developed from a few stitching workshops into full‐fledged production networks. However, persistent disparity between the Chinese and Italian labor has triggered widespread social tensions. Drawing upon the recent literature of critical labor studies, this paper offers a different perspective to see the disparity in terms of the multiplication of labor across scales. The Chinese labor in Prato is made cheap and flexible by the proliferation of institutional and social borders, which were in turn inadvertently produced by Italian immigration policies, Chinese social norms, and local and regional economic conditions. In particular, the Chinese migrant workers have played an active role in producing social borders and in their own exploitation. Therefore, the labor polarization in Prato can hardly be solved by local institutional arrangements, and Italian trade unions have failed to organize the Chinese migrant labor in Prato.     

‘Profits,Savings, Health,Peace, Order’: Prostitution,Urban Planning and Imperial Identity in Halifax,Nova Scotia, 1898–1912

In the early years of the twentieth century, city administrators in Halifax, Nova Scotia articulated a new, modern identity for the former imperial garrison town by identifying the local red light district as both a moral and a spatial problem. Between the twilight of Victoria’s reign and Britain’s entry into the First World War, middle-class toleration of a local sex district as a means of managing the city’s populations of imperial servicemen virtually evaporated. Haligonians were inspired instead by North American urban modernisation initiatives to eradicate this visible and physical space for the world’s oldest profession. This paper examines shifting responses to the imperial sexual and political ideologies underpinning collective toleration of Halifax’s racially mixed sex district, offers a case study of this crucial moment of civic refashioning.     

资本循环视角下的城市空间结构演变机制研究——以海珠区为例

资本是城市化的内生动力,基于大卫·哈维资本三循环理论,本文在对1949年以来中国宏观资本运动与空间发展关系演绎的基础上,以海珠区为实证研究对象,粗略展示了海珠区从初级循环工业吸纳国内资本,到90年代中后期全球资本推动初级循环与次级循环共同增量发展,再到2010年后初级循环资本减量,二、三级循环资本增量的过程,相伴经历从城郊工业点到中心“卧城”,再到生态型中央创新区的城市功能转变。最后强调在中国资本城市化后半程中,权力机构要注重利用比较优势,引导资本进入三级循环,调动城市发展主体积极性,提升城市品质与服务能力,平衡资本逐利本性与空间正义,促进空间可持续发展。
