    On the restructuring of geopolitics in South Asia under the background of Maritime Silk Road——From perspective of strategic balance between India and Pakistan
    Yahua MA, Yalan ZHOU, Danhua HUANG
    2020, 29(3): 439-450.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019480
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (806KB) ( )  

    The balance of power between India and Pakistan is the foundation of the pattern of geopolitics in South Asia and the security factors in Maritime Silk Road. Due to the rise of India and the American policy change the balance of power in South Asia began to collapse after entering the 21st century, during which the China-US-India triangle is replacing China-India- Pakistan triangle and US-India-Pakistan triangle. In the future, an unbound and pro-west India may bring forward more uncertainty to China's oil passageway and the security in Tibet. Moreover, because of Pakistan's more difficult strategic position, the ability of shielding Xinjiang from Islamic extremist forces will weaken. In this situation, China should actively participate in the reconstruction of regional strategy pattern, which including:1)To promote mutual trust with India by economic means.2)To adopt offshore balance strategy to hedge the geopolitical risk by helping Pakistan in economic development and military building. 3)To look for strategic foothold in the northern Indian Ocean. Only do all of these China will escape a converging attack by America, Japan and India in both directions of the Pacific and Indian Ocean.

    Reflection on international geo-relations in the Post-Cold War Era
    Binhong YE, Yang CHENG, Li WANG, Linsheng YANG
    2020, 29(3): 451-459.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019263
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (700KB) ( )  

    International geo-relations are the basis of national policy making, which play a vital role in the course of a country’s development. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the thinking venation of modern geopolitics. According to the characteristics of different periods, it can be divided into three periods: the Empire Stage, the Cold War and the Post-Cold War Era. From the perspective of space, the traditional comprehensive geo-space was deconstructed into multiple dimensions including geographic space, political space, military space, institutional space, information space, technological space, economic space and cultural space. Its connotation and interactive mechanism were interpreted to help understand and analyze the current international geo-relations. Combined with the basic national conditions, China should strengthen the study of international geo-relations, enhance the development of geo-space, follow the Tai Ji international geostrategy and develop effective sphere of influence in the new era.

    Yang LEI, Chengfeng HUANG, Ze CHEN
    2020, 29(3): 460-468.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019140
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (715KB) ( )  

    Turkey spans Eurasia, with unique geographical and geopolitical advantages. Based on its own needs and the basis of transportation, combined with the international environment, Turkey put forward the "Middle Corridor" initiative, aiming to fully play the hub function in transnational transportation and international trade between Eastern and Western Eurasia, and improve influences of regional powers. the "Middle Corridor" initiative not only reflects Turkey's strategic choices and interests, but also has potential geopolitical influence on the surrounding regions and countries. the "Middle Corridor" initiative further strengthens the political alliance between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia and other countries, and further "isolate" Armenia; There may be an impact on Russia’s transportation and geopolitical advantages. The impacts on Central Asia is multidimensional, with both positive and potential risks. China needs to fully understand and evaluate each other’s strategic appeals and interest’s layout, as well as cultural and historical differences, seek common ground while reserving differences, seek interest settlement points, and avoid potential geopolitical risks according to changes in the current situation.

    The immigrant entrepreneurship is an important topic in the study of economic geography. The study of the immigrant entrepreneurial activities is a key dimension to interpret the social activities of immigrant groups and the formation of immigrant culture. And immigrant entrepreneurial activities have drawn continuous and in-depth studies. Based on the use of Citespace software, and utilizing data on the Web of Science between the year of 1991 and 2018, this paper analyzes the historical context and progress of the immigrant entrepreneurship research from four aspects, including the concept and connotation, research trends , research frontiers and evolution, and future research possibilities of the international immigrant entrepreneurship. The study finds that, 1) the United States and the United Kingdom play important role in immigrant entrepreneurship. 2) Regional millieu, global city, and ethnic self-employment are the three most studied clusters in immigrant entrepreneurship research.3) The most frequent keyword is entrepreneurship, and the most closely contact words with the entrepreneurship are performance, employment and organization, reflecting that researchers have great interests on the study of economic benefits of entrepreneurship, on the other hand, it shows that for now immigrant entrepreneurship research is mostly about low-end immigrant groups. As time goes on, the focus of the immigrant entrepreneurship research becomes more open and diversified.

    Yi ZHANG, Weigang HUANG, Xingwu ZHENG
    2020, 29(3): 491-502.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019022
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (626KB) ( )  

    The international air connectivity is an important channel for a city to communicate outside. The paper constructs a connectivity measuring model to calculate the international transit index and international connectivity index of all China’s opening airports in 2012 and 2017, the comprehensive international connectivity of all opening airports has rapidly increased during the past five years. The top three international hubs, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou still dominate the international transfer market, but the market share is declining. The sub-international hubs and regional hubs are growing rapidly. Intercontinental long-haul routes have more network expansion effects on the international connectivity of all hubs. Medium-haul and short-haul international routes are of great significance to the international connectivity of sub-international hubs and regional hubs. Airlines which operate international hub airports as their bases have significant impact on the development of those cities. The spatial distribution of international hubs in China has evolved from Three-point agglomeration to Multi-point differentiation. The spatial evolution of international hub cities is in line with the trend of open development of the China’s regional economic and diversified demand of international air transport. The network layout of the international routes and the development of airport facility are the basic guarantee for the establishment of a high-quality international transit hub. The development strategies of “the opening channel” and gateway are still on the way.

    Research on the influencing mechanism of urbanization on carbon emission efficiency
    Xinjing WANG, Yu CHENG
    2020, 29(3): 503-511.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019211
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (913KB) ( )  

    Pushing forward the urbanization process and developing the low-carbon economy is an important problem facing many countries around the world. Based on the panel data of 118 countries in the world from 2009 to 2016, the study explored the influencing mechanism of the overall sample and the country's urbanization development with different levels of urbanization on the carbon emission efficiency using STIRPAT model. The research results show that:(1) The spatial differentiation of carbon emission efficiency of the research samples was relatively obvious. Countries with higher carbon emission efficiency are mainly in Latin America, Western Europe and Africa.(2) On the whole, the level of scientific and technological innovation, per capita GDP and information level all play a significant role in promoting the efficiency of carbon emissions. The order of promotion is per capita GDP> level of scientific and technological innovation> level of informatization. The level of urbanization, the proportion of industry and the degree of openness to the outside world all have a significant inhibitory effect on the improvement of carbon emission efficiency. The degree of inhibition is urbanization level > openness > industrial proportion.(3) From a subregional point of view, the effects of various influencing factors on carbon emission efficiency in countries with different levels of urbanization show obvious heterogeneity. Based on the results, the study puts forward some suggestions, such as promoting the construction of green urbanization, paying attention to the ecological value of scientific and technological innovation, and optimizing the structure of foreign export trade.

    Spatiotemporal dynamics and influencing factors of provincial carbon emissions in China
    Ying WANG, Yanfen HE
    2020, 29(3): 512-522.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2018507
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (873KB) ( )  

    In this paper, the carbon dioxide emissions from 2000 to 2015 in the provinces of China were calculated, using the natural segment method, the carbon emissions in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 were also classified respectively, to analysis of its spatial differentiation characteristics.Spatial autocorrelation analysis was used to reveal the spatial correlation of carbon emissions between neighboring provinces.On this basis, the LMDI method was used to decompose the factors affecting carbon emissions from the aspects of energy structure, energy intensity, economic development and population scale. The results showed that: In terms of time, China's total carbon emissions showed an overall upward trend, with only a 2% decline in 2014-2015. Except for Beijing, the carbon emissions of other provinces are increasing.In space, high-value carbon emissions have gradually spread from the Bohai Rim and the eastern coastal provinces to individual provinces in the central and western regions. The provincial carbon emissions were mainly characterized by high concentration and low agglomeration. The high concentration and centralization of carbon emissions were concentrated in Liaoning province,Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and Jiangsu provinces, Beijing and Tianjin had a low concentration area with high carbon emissions. The eastern and central regions are more susceptible to energy structure, energy intensity, economic development and population scale than the western provinces. Economic development is driving the carbon emission. Energy intensity is inhibitory to carbon emissions. The energy structure has a positive and negative inhibitory effect on the carbon emissions of various provinces. Except for Guizhou province, the population scale of other provinces is positively driving carbon emissions.

    Qianbo WU, Congcong HUI
    2020, 29(3): 523-535.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019086
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1718KB) ( )  

    In the new round of urbanization, the innovation economy with human capital as the core has gradually become the engine of driving economic growth, the important function of the provincial central city as a population gathering place is increasingly prominent. The tendency of the floating population affects the reconstruction of the urban system between cities of different scales and administrative grades, the core subject of studying population change plays an important role in the process of urbanization. Therefore, this paper selects typical cities in each province as the objects, estimated by the latest data of urban population, revealing the recent development trend of China’s urbanization and the changing pattern of metropolitan regional structure. Found from it, in recent years, the development trend of China's population urbanization has gradually stabilized, and there are still significant differences in population agglomeration in different regions and cities of different scales, all kinds of municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capitals, and sub-provincial cities have outstanding performance in population agglomeration, the population attractiveness of traditional port cities, industrial cities, and provincial sub-central cities is gradually weakening. Among them, the absorption capacity of the first-tier cities is super strong, the secondary cities become important gathering places for the population, the population growth rate of the third-tier cities is slowing down, the population of the fourth-tier cities is stable, and the cities can be divided into four different combinations. They are “high/low scale” and “high/low growth”. At the same time, the growth of urban population will directly affect the economic development of urban areas, in particular, the central and central cities in the central and western regions have become more powerful and have a strong population growth, which has changed the pattern of the traditional East, Central and West regions, the provincial capital city showed four different combinations of “high/low order” and “high/low concentration”, and the provincial capitals were concentrated in two types: “high order, high concentration” and “low order, low concentration”, the pattern of differentiation is relatively obvious. With the continuous development of China's metropolis, it has gradually become a leader in the new era of innovation economy and population agglomeration. The higher the administrative level, the more obvious the advantage of resource allocation. China's metropolis has the advantage of attracting population agglomeration, thereby further enriches the urban labor market and making it more advantageous in economic development.Thereby continuously consolidating the important position of the metropolis in China's urban system. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of urban population structure changes, so as to more effectively adopt relevant policy measures, rationally guide and plan the public service planning for different types of urban population.

    Analysis of functional connection and spatial pattern of Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration based on multi-element factor flows
    Xunyuan LIN, Yueming HU, Guangxing WANG, Shudi FAN
    2020, 29(3): 536-548.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2018523
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1390KB) ( )  

    Taking 9 prefecture-level cities in the PRD urban agglomeration as the research object, combined with the current hot spots open big data to calculate and evaluate the contact strength and action direction of economic flow, traffic flow, population flow and information flow of cities in the PRD urban agglomeration, and used valuation method to consider the four factor flows’ intensity. Finally, according to the comprehensive scores of each city, the spatial hierarchy is divided, the spatial interaction pattern of “Point-Line-Plane” is proposed, and then the future development planning of the PRD urban agglomeration is explored. The results show that: (1) From the perspective of the contact strength of each factor flow, the hierarchical division between cities has a high degree of coincidence, indicating that the four factors flows are related to each other and interacted with each other. From the perspective of the action direction of each factor flow, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are mostly the first spatially connected cities in other cities in the region, indicating that each factor flow usually points to a city with a higher level of economic development and better accessibility. (2) From the overall point of view, the internal functional interactions within the PRD urban agglomeration are extremely unbalanced. Firstly, the central cities occupy the vast majority of the intensity of the factor flows, and the rest of the cities only occupy a small part of the flows, indicating the polarization is serious. Secondly, the development of the east bank and the west bank is not balance, and the development level of the east bank is obviously stronger than the development level of the west bank.(3) Although Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan and other cities have played a certain role in radiation and driving in the region, their radiation and driving intensity to peripheral cities such as Jiangmen and Zhaoqing still need to be improved, indicating that further optimization of functional division and industrial layout of the PRD urban agglomeration is needed to promote regional economic integration.

    Characteristic of tourist flow network in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration under the influence of high-speed railway
    Dajun LIU, Junzi CHEN, Yaoyan JIA
    2020, 29(3): 549-556.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019050
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (768KB) ( )  

    The impact of high-speed railway on tourism flow in urban agglomerations has not been fully addressed. Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration has a high level of economic and social development, rich tourism resources, and is an important tourist market and tourist destination. The high-speed railway in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration starts late, but develops rapidly, which is conducive to a comprehensive study of the impact of high-speed railway on the tourism flow and its process in the urban agglomeration. With social network analysis and GIS spatial analysis, this paper deeply analyzed the change of tourist flow network in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration under the influence of high-speed railway. Study result shows that, the spatial connection of tourism flows in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration under the influence of high-speed railway is increasingly strengthened, and the “H” shaped spatial development framework is prominent. High-speed railway strengthens the interaction of tourist flow between Chongqing urban and Chengdu, but the cross-regional flows are generally less, and the administrative barriers are obvious. Tourist flow in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration presents a spatial organization pattern of “axial and radial” with Chongqing urban and Chengdu as the core. The opening of high-speed railway further strengthens the spatial radiation capacity of the two core city. The tourist flow space in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration has obvious layers, and the tourist flow links along the high-speed railway are closer. Under the influence of high-speed railway, the tourism flow connection between the areas along the high-speed railway and those not along the high-speed railway in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration increases from 26 to 46. The opening of the high-speed railway strengthens the tourist flow links between the high-speed railway and non-high-speed railway areas. The spatial difference of tourist flows in Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration is expanding under the influence of high-speed railway. Some regions with good resource endowment along the high-speed railway are more important in the tourist flow network, its resource advantage will be highlighted and exerted. Finally, this study proposes the following suggestions: strengthen the agglomeration and diffusion ability of tourism flow of the two core nodes, and develop Dazu, Wanzhou, Mianyang, Leshan and other nodes into a tourism distribution center with regional influence. Construct H-shaped axis, reinforcing the radiation capacity of tourism flow to areas along the non-high-speed railway. Promote cross-regional linkage development and deepen tourism cooperation between Chengdu and Chongqing.

    Ying YU, Qing LIU, Guicai LI
    2020, 29(3): 557-567.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019384
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (943KB) ( )  

    Based on 2007- 2017 high-tech enterprises datasets of electronic information industry of Shenzhen, this essay used Moran's I index, Kernel density estimation, and Hot spot analysis to recognize the patterns and changes of geographical agglomeration of high-tech electronic information technology(HEIT) enterprises in Shenzhen. By employing a spatial regression model, we analyzed its locational choice in two stages of 2007 and 2017. Results show that: In the research period, Shenzhen HEIT enterprises present a higher level of global agglomeration, and its distribution experienced a change process of "agglomeration, dispersion, and re-agglomeration"; The spatial agglomeration has changed from "dual-core" to "triple-core" pattern, resulting in three kinds of clusters, including high-tech park oriented, historical industry area oriented and leading-enterprise oriented; Policy influence and industrial agglomeration effect play critical roles in making the locational choice for Shenzhen HEIT enterprises, while basic factors such as the accessibility of transportation has a moderate impact. In the latter stage, with the internalization of early input factors by government, the influence on the locational decision of IET enterprises is significantly increased, and its dependence of technology level and external traffic accessibility begins to manifest.

    The impact of online shopping on in-store shopping: An investigation of Nanfang Commercial Center in Shanghai
    Yuexi LIN, Mingfeng WANG, Tongcui MA
    2020, 29(3): 568-578.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2018554
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (734KB) ( )  

    In the Internet era, the impact of new information technologies on commercial centers is becoming more obvious, which has become the concentrated embodiment of the spatial effects of new economy in the urban areas. Taking Nanfang commercial center as a case, this paper explores the impact of online shopping on in-store shopping via consumer questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Overall, the influence of online shopping frequency on in-store shopping is in the form of normal distribution. High-frequency and low-frequency online shoppers are less likely to carry out high-frequency in-store shopping, while medium-frequency online shoppers have higher in-store shopping frequency. Through the analysis of consumers' internal decision process, we can see that online shopping decreased the satisfaction of shopping mall, but stimulated the demand of consumers so that brought more entertainment consumption. Therefore, the impact of online shopping on in-store shopping is complex. In the process of shopping decision-making, online shopping has different impacts in different aspects. Finally, the article also discusses the countermeasures of commercial centers.

    The impact of commuting time-space flexibility of employees on the choice of departure time
    Xiao CHEN, Renxu GU
    2020, 29(3): 579-587.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019130
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (574KB) ( )  

    With the rapid development of industrialization, urbanization and transportation in China, the phenomenon of separation of residence and employment is becoming more and more obvious. The separation of work and residence is one of the reasons leading to traffic congestion. Reducing the time constraints of arriving at the work and increasing the flexibility of the time arrangement of the work are conducive to the staggered peak travel of residents. At present, there are few studies on residents’ choice of departure time, studies only take into account personal socioeconomic attributes, urban built environment and other factors, but do not consider the flexibility of commuting activities.Based on the background of traffic congestion and imbalance between work and living in Shanghai, this paper takes employees in Minhang District as the object, and uses multinomial logit model to analyze the impact of commuting time-space flexibility of Employees on the choice of departure time.First, the departure time of commuting is concentrated in the peak period, and the departure time of morning commuting is more concentrated in the pre-peak and mid-peak period than evening commuting.Second, personal socioeconomic characteristics, urban built environment and commuting space-time characteristics have an impact on the choice of departure time.Third, for control variables, age and income constraints the choice of departure time for morning commuting.Employees who work in suburbs or have poor business accessibility are less inclined to travel before the early rush hour.Those who have poor bus accessibility are not inclined to travel after the late rush hour. Employees with shorter commuting distance are neither inclined to travel before the early rush hour nor after the late rush hour.Fourth,the flexibility of working place, departure time, stop time and location have significant effects on the choice of departure time for morning commuting.Only the flexibility of departure and arrival time have effects for evening commuting.In the future, urban transport planning can combine with the reform of flexible working hours system in enterprises, and pay attention to the management of travel needs of employees, so as to improve their spatial and temporal accessibility.The commuting management of employees is conducive to realizing the reasonable coordination of job-housing imbalance and optimizing the management of traffic congestion.

    Dongjun CHEN, Hongbin XIE
    2020, 29(3): 598-607.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2019145
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (595KB) ( )  

    With the transformation of tourism and the improving the quality education of primary and secondary school students in China, study travel is becoming a research hotspot in tourism. The development of study travel in China is generally divided into three stages, preparation, local pilot, and in-full implementation. The related researches of study travel in China concentrate on the history and idea of study travel, psychology and behavior of travelers, and development of study travel. The current research on study travel in China lagging behind the blossom of its practice leads to the contrast and contradictions, that is, researches on study travel are weaker, the theoretical perspective is simpler, as well as its practical significance is highlighted instead of its theoretical contributions. The future researches on study travel should be focused on the investigation and evaluation of the tourism resources, development of the tourism product, evaluation and management of its effectiveness, as well as its relationship with social civilization construction.

    A SEM-based study on migrants’ assimilation and life satisfaction expectation in Pearl River Delta
    Lijia LUO, Chunshan ZHOU, Peizhao WU
    2020, 29(3): 608-620.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2018477
    Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1100KB) ( )  

    In recent years, the research on assimilation and life satisfaction of migrant population groups has become an active topic between Chinese scholars, while the higher level of assimilation has become the basic of life satisfaction of migrants. This paper has established two structural equation models based on migrant population samples data in the Pearl River Delta. With these models, we could study the path effects of assimilation’s dimensions and its influencing factors. Besides, we also could figure out how assimilation affects life satisfaction expectation, in other word, research the path differences in assimilation dimensions that affect migrants, who have a higher life satisfaction than living in their hometown. The results show that: 1) Assimilation can be divided into two independent parts: economic integration and non-economic integration in the Pearl River Delta. The basic role of the economic integration is not prominent. 2) Individual, family, and institution have different influence on assimilation. 3) Assimilation of the migrant population affects the life satisfaction expectation with two paths. One of models is from economic integration to life satisfaction expectation directly and the other is from non-economic integration to life satisfaction, and eventually move in life satisfaction expectation. 4) The promotion of citizenization and assimilation of migrant population groups needs to pay attention to the income of migrants as well as attach importance to the construction of harmonious relationship of natives and migrants, which can lead to a healthy community environment and a better urban renewal.

    The environmental justice literature, which started in the 1980s to document ethnic minority people’s disproportionate exposure to environmental hazards, has more recently focused on the spatial distribution of environmental amenities across different income and ethnic groups, particularly on parks.The paper systematically reviews from topics, influential factors, measure index and methods respectively. Conclusions are as follows:1) Literature on environmental justice of urban green space is increasing in recent ten years and most of the study cases came from developed countries while few scholars have concerned about urban green space from environmental justice perspective.2) The heated topics focus on accessibility, environmental gentrification, cultural justice and environmental justice, perception and place attachment.3) Supply indexes of green space, such as accessibility, service area, are mostly used to measure the environmental justice. However, more and more studies turn to combine green space supply and users’ needs in the recent years. Finally, China has been facing with the pressure between economic development and land use conflict due to quick urbanization and industrialization. Given the specific population, environment and cultural background, China needs to give priority to the study on green space justice.

    Space identification in poverty-stricken areas is an important basis for the formulation of accurate poverty alleviation policy. The spatial evolution process and characteristics of rural poverty index in 86 counties (cities and districts) were studied by using the variation coefficient, the Tel index, the Markov chain and the exploratory spatial analysis method from 1984 to 2015. The result shows that the difference of rural poverty index in the county of Gansu province presents the stage characteristics of "narrowing - enlarging - narrowing" in the trend of overall decline, and there are obvious differences in its spatial distribution, and the process of evolution tends to be stable. And the rural poverty in Gansu province has a spatial clustering image, showing a special distribution and stability. The poor degree of rural poverty in the Hexi Corridor and some counties in Lanzhou area is low, and there is a stable spatial agglomeration phenomenon, and the agglomeration range is extended continuously. The degree of poverty in rural areas of Dingxi, Longnan, Gannan and Linxia is relatively deep, and it also shows a strong spatial agglomeration phenomenon, however, the agglomeration range is very strong but shrinking and it is showing a fragmented characteristics.

    In China, the frequency of earthquakes is very high and tourist attractions are widely distributed. The occurrence of the earthquake will bring risks to the scenic spots close to the earthquake source, so it is particularly necessary to study the seismic risk assessment of scenic spots in China. The study was conducted on the basis of theoretical research on earthquake and related risks and analysis on the distribution characteristics of 3A, 4A and 5A scenic spots. In this study, the parameter of peak acceleration of ground motion was used to analyze the seismic risk. ArcGIS software was used to overlay the zoning map of peak acceleration of ground motion and the distribution map of China's 3A, 4A and 5A scenic spots to analyze the exposure of the scenic spots. The basic model of risk assessment was used to calculate the seismic risk assessment results of China's 3A, 4A and 5A scenic spots. The results show that from the perspective of various provinces, the earthquake risk level of most scenic spots in China is low, the earthquake risk evel of scenic spots in Jiangsu Province and Gansu Province is higher, and the earthquake risk level of scenic spots in Beijing is highest. According to the assessment results, the seismic risks of the China's 3A, 4A and 5A scenic spots were analyzed from three perspectives, and the corresponding countermeasures were proposed.

    Study on the spatial distribution and influential factors of rural poverty in Xinjiang
    Ying MENG, Yue‘e CAO
    2020, 29(3): 650-658.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2020.03.2018504

    Under the background of the country's policy of promoting precise poverty alleviation, it is of great significance to analyze the differences in the causes of poverty in different regions. This paper takes the Wasteland town of Shache County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as the research area, and explores the spatial distribution and influencing factors of the poor population and state in the region through geo-detectors and the geographically weighted regression models. The results show that: 1) the rural poverty in the wasteland town The characteristics of agglomeration distribution within a certain range, the incidence of poverty in the central and northern regions is significantly higher than that in the surrounding areas, and the poverty-stricken areas in the central part spread from the center to the periphery, and the incidence of poverty in the north is lower than that in the central part. 2) The main factors leading to poverty include the distance from the main road, the population density and the proportion of the male population. 3) The distance from the main road has a positive correlation with the incidence of poverty. The distance from the town center has a negative correlation with the incidence of poverty. The population density and the incidence of poverty show a significant negative correlation. relationship. 4) According to the dominant factors of poverty formation in different regions, poverty-stricken areas can be divided into road-constrained and population-constrained types, of which road constraints are mainly distributed in the southeastern part of the wasteland town, while population constraints are mainly distributed in the northern region. In view of the rural poverty of different causes, this paper proposes that poverty alleviation measures should be adopted with different strategies.
