The external effects of inner-city shopping centers: Evidence from the Netherlands

Shopping center redevelopment is inevitable to remain attractive for consumers. In this paper, we investigate the external effects of shopping center redevelopment on nearby residential property prices. Using a difference-in-difference empirical framework, we find the redevelopment has positive external effects on nearby property prices. We find the price of a property located next to a redeveloped shopping center increases by 1.43% on average just after redevelopment. Our results indicate that these positive external effects wear off rather rapidly across space and over time. This suggests that shopping center redevelopment plays a substantial, but limited, role in combating neighborhood deprivation.

国内外旅游购物研究进展

自20世纪80年代以来国外旅游购物研究逐渐受到关注,研究进展快,主要内容包括:旅游购物作用及评估、旅游购物者类型划分、动机和行为研究、购物者体验评估、纪念品研究、购物区的空间布局规律探究以及旅游购物经典案例分析等;而国内的相关研究相当匮乏。分析认为,在新形势下旅游购物基础理论、方法、旅游购物模式以及区域差异等亟待深入研究,为国内旅游购物发展提供理论指导。最后探讨了国外旅游购物研究对国内的启示,并展望了未来研究的方向。     

欠发达省区经济中心实证研究——以甘肃省为例

论文选择甘肃省86个县(市、区)的18项指标,应用SPSS统计软件和主成份分析方法进行定量分析,结果表明:县域经济差异与经济中心有较好的空间耦合性。经济中心形成主要受工业化推进、资源开发、投资牵引的影响。但经济中心体系规模结构断裂明显,难以形成有效的分工协作关系;职能结构不合理;地理形铸作用强烈,团块-轴向分布态势明显;城市空间分布与主导产业分布格局一致。因此构建"一心一轴五大城市经济区",通过强化核心,培育重点,以线串点,以点促面,形成等级分明、分工合理、协调发展的空间网络结构,带动全省社会经济全面发展。     

大城市中产阶层化与商娱场所的空间结构

自上个世纪70年代随着发达国家"后工业社会"转型以来,中产阶层化现象成为西方发达国家城市问题与空间规划方向的重要研究方面之一,发展至今日,中产阶层化成为了一种全球化的社会与空间现象(Bell,1999)。娱乐作为一种文化现象,可以反映国家生产力水平的高低,是与每个人的生存质量息息相关的领域。因而有关文化休闲娱乐场所的微区位研究也逐渐引起了中外地理学界和社会学界有关学者的极大兴趣。从城市社会空间结构的角度探讨中产阶层生活方式及其消费(娱乐消费)与娱乐场所形成的中产阶层化现象等的社会空间结构。     

Socio-cultural proximity,daily life and shopping tourism in the Dutch–German border region

ABSTRACT

This paper analyses feelings of socio-cultural proximity and distance with a specific focus on the tourist experience in cross-border shopping and everyday life practices in border regions. We examined shopping practices of Dutch border crossers who visit the German town Kleve in the Dutch–German border region. This particular border context has allowed us not only to reflect on a multidimensional approach towards socio-cultural proximity and distance, but also to examine how these different dimensions express themselves in the tourist experience when it comes to people and places that are geographically ‘close’ but assumingly socially and culturally ‘distant’ from home. Although some differences prompted feelings of discomfort, in particular, differences in social engagement, feelings of comfort stand out in our analysis of cross-border shopping tourism. Furthermore, our study shows that shopping tourism and exoticism, on the one hand, and everyday routines and the mundane, on the other hand, are closely intertwined in the lives of people living in a border region, resulting in a fluid interpretation of the exotic and the mundane in the cross-border context.     

从“文化标本”到“文化生活”——以苏州古典园林为资源的社区旅游发展模式研究

苏州古城区现存的古典园林作为明清时期私家园林的典型代表,如同文化标本一般,体现了明清园林文化和风格。本文从苏州古城区的居住街区空间构成入手,通过重新评价古典园林作为街区空间资源的价值定位,探索居民生活和园林文化相互融合的途径,在此基础之上,构建了以苏州古典园林为资源的社区旅游发展模式,其特征为：旅游者和居民的利益统一在街区生活环境改善之上;以古典园林为平台形成旅游者和居民间的交流;园林资源保护的旅游者和居民双方参与。     

Recovering the Forgotten Woodland Mound Excavations at Garden Patch (8DI4)

Forty-five years ago Timothy Thompson excavated at two of the six mounds at the Garden Patch site but results were never reported. We assembled data from Thompson's work and enhanced them with new test pits at Mound IV and re-excavation of a Mound V trench. Mound IV is a natural sand ridge where a village was established early, by the second century A.D. Mound V began as a naturally elevated platform for at least one burial and associated structure during the fourth century A.D. and was then covered by lenses of shell and sand. The construction sequence of Mound V resembles other mounds in the region. These results help illuminate the functions and depositional histories of mounds within Woodland multi-mound centers of the coastal plain while also demonstrating an effective approach to balancing stewardship and new excavations.

商业地理学——回顾与前瞻

作为人文地理学的传统分支,商业地理学已经历数千年的演进和完善过程。作者将它分为古代、近代和现代三个阶段,这在西方和中国都不例外。商业地理是随社会大分工和商品交换的增长而萌发的,到近代,它是直接为资本原始积累服务的;现代商业地理是二战后地理学数量运动的产物,我国近10年来,已在城乡商业布局方面做了大量工作。大城市的商业中心、商业腹地研究开始被重视,成果已应用于实际,乡镇集市的格局和城乡商业网络的调研,正着手进行。我国商业地理学的今后方向,似应根据传统和国情,参照国外近年的发展予以规划。商业区位,大中城市商业中心和网络,城市商业街、超级市场和农贸市场,最不容忽视。
