The Heartland Theory and the Russia-Ukraine conflict Debin DU, Xinlei YI, Yahua MA, Wanpeng CAO, Qifan XIA, Xiya LI 2022, 31(4): 673-686.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20222002 Abstract ( )   PDF (692KB) ( )   The Russia-Ukraine conflict is widely regarded as one of the most serious geopolitical crises in Europe after the Cold War. It not only caused a large number of casualties in both countries but also affected the whole world, causing complex games among China, the U.S., Europe and Russia, promoting the world's political and economic division and accelerating the deglobalization. Therefore, it may become a watershed in the evolution of the global power pattern after the Cold War. In this context, it is increasingly necessary and urgent to comprehensively analyze and judge the realistic nature and development trend of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Napoleon Bonaparte once said that the political nature of all power is embedded in its geographical location. This paper uses the classical geopolitical theory—Halford Mackinder's Heartland theory to analyze the geographical dynamic mechanism and temporal- Spatial patterns of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to help understand the geopolitical security risks and challenges faced by China in the complex situation. Based on reviewing the core content of Mackinder's Heartland theory, this paper examines the influence of Heartland theory on the geopolitical thought and strategic practice of Russia and the U.S..Finally, it analyzes the particularity of Ukraine's geographical position in the Heartland and its encounter and situation in the East-West powers game. This paper points out that, on the surface, the Russia-Ukraine conflict took place between the two East Slavic countries with significant differences over historical issues. However, its essence is the general outbreak of structural contradictions formed by the long-term confrontation between Russia and NATO.It results from squeesing and collision with each other between the two geopolitical plates of the land power in the Heartland and the sea power in the Rimland. Ukraine, located at the junction of the Heartland and the Rimland, has thus fallen victim to the geopolitical struggle of the great powers. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Evolution of geostrategic logic of the South China Sea and construction of a community of shared future in the South China Sea Shulan YE 2022, 31(4): 687-699.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20222003 Abstract ( )   PDF (605KB) ( )   The South China Sea has become a place for great power game because of its important geopolitical and economic strategic position. However, in an era of globalization and interdependence, the South China Sea geostrategy is not just a single logic of geopolitical conflict, but a complex logic of combination of politics, economy and culture, and coexistence of competition and cooperation. The economic and trade complementarity of the countries around the South China Sea overweighs the competitiveness, which has formed an interdependent geo-economic pattern. However, the overlapping system, system competition and system surplus in the geo-economic cooperation in the South China Sea still expose the competition logic in the geo-economy. As a new regional cooperation platform, "the Belt and Road" helps to transcend the traditional geo-economic competition logic. The emergence of the consciousness of East Asia, the geopolitical and economic interdependence in the South China Sea and the establishment of institutions and norms in the South China Sea gave birth to the consciousness of the geographic community of the South China Sea. To build a community of shared future in the South China Sea that integrates security, interests and trust, we need to independently formulate regional rules through dialogue and consultation, strengthen functional cooperation in the South China Sea, and enhance regional mutual trust through multi-track diplomacy, so as to make the South China Sea become a sea of "friendship, peace and cooperation".

Network vulnerability of ports around the South China Sea and the impact on Chinese maritime transport Liehui WANG, Sheng ZHANG, Rui CHEN 2022, 31(4): 700-712.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20220069 Abstract ( )   PDF (1255KB) ( )   The dependence on the South China Sea for international trade in container transport has increased over time, with Asian foreign trade relying on the South China Sea transport corridor for 65% of all trade. Hence, accurate measurement of the vulnerability of ports in the South China Sea and assessment of the impact of port inoperability in the ASEAN region on different Chinese ports is necessary for China's shipping security assessment. This paper collects the container route data published by the shipping company network in 2018 to construct the container shipping network of ports around the South China Sea, and carries out the research on the vulnerability of the network and the evaluation of the impact on China through the methods of network node index and shortest path simulation. The conclusions of the study are as follows: South Sea shipping is weakly resilient to disruption. The failure of 15%-25% of the head ports would be a materially disruptive effect on the overall organization of the shipping network. Pusan and Singapore are the ports in need of priority protection in the region, while Haiphong, Shanghai, Qingdao, Tokyo, Surabaya, Yokohama, and Kobe are highly vulnerable in the region. When a hub port breaks down and stops running to handle cargo, there are few alternative ports that meet the three conditions of geographical proximity, betweenness centrality growth, and the same transport capacity. The shortest path is used to simulate Chinese port calls to ASEAN ports in the South China Sea corridor. Singapore and Port Klang were found to be the two major ports with a global influence on China's coastal ports. Laem Chabang, Manila, Cebu, San Fernando, and Haiphong have regional impacts. By assessing the vulnerability of ports in the South China Sea and trying to delineate the spatial extent of the impact of port failures, this paper complements the spatial study of vulnerability and makes suggestions and recommendations for the security strategy of shipping in the South China Sea.

The growth of military power and evolution of military presence of the U.S. in the South China Sea and surrounding areas Wanpeng CAO 2022, 31(4): 726-736.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20222005 Abstract ( )   PDF (1061KB) ( )   The ocean has always been a major battleground for world powers, and the South China Sea is no exception due to its outstanding geostrategic value. Using a military power assessment model, this paper portrays the growth of U.S. military power in the South China Sea and clarifies the evolutionary features of U.S. military presence in the South China Sea and surrounding areas. The results show that: (1) From 2010 to 2019, U.S. military power in the South China Sea shows a phased incremental increase that can be divided into two phases. The first phase, the fluctuating rise during the Obama administration's launch of the Asia-Pacific strategy in 2010-2016; and the second phase, the rapid rise during the Trump administration's launch of the Indo-Pacific strategy in 2017-2019. (2) The U.S. military presence in the South China Sea and surrounding areas has increased significantly, including: continuously improving the deployment of military bases centered around the South China Sea military base group and the South China Sea forward military base group; strengthening the shift from bilateral joint military exercises to multilateral joint military exercises; emphasizing the maritime combat test of "freedom of navigation" operations; and continuously strengthening the construction of a three-dimensional network system for military reconnaissance and intelligence collection.

The geo-economic relations between Hainan Free Trade Port and Pan-South China Sea countries and its impact factors Jingya XU, Zhouying SONG 2022, 31(4): 737-747.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20220025 Abstract ( )   PDF (1134KB) ( )   The Pan-South China Sea economic circle is one of the most active regions in the global economy. Strengthening the geo-economic relations between Hainan Free Trade Port and neighboring countries is conducive to promoting the construction and improving regional economic and trade cooperation's level. This paper constructed a geo-economic relations index system from the aspects of trade, investment, industry and finance, and explored the evolution and influencing factors of the geo-economic connection pattern between Hainan Free Trade Port and Pan-South China Sea countries through entropy method and grey correlation method. The study found that: ①From 2005 to 2019, the geo-economic connection between Hainan Free Trade Port and Pan-South China Sea countries is at a low level, and there is no significant improvement. Among them, trade relations are relatively close, and investment, industrial and financial relations need to be further strengthened. ②From 2005 to 2019, the temporal and spatial pattern of geo-economic connection between Hainan Free Trade Port and Pan-South China Sea countries changes significantly, and Myanmar and Singapore fluctuate greatly. Overall, Hainan Free Trade Port has the strongest economic relations with Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei and Indonesia, and the weakest economic relations with Laos, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. ③Market is the primary influencing factor of Hainan's geo-economic relations. Cost constraints have a certain impact on the economic relations, while the impact of production factors is limited. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis on the disputes over islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands and its influencing factors based on an improved Hawk-Dove model Jiaqiang ZHANG, Xuezhong JIANG 2022, 31(4): 748-761.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20220022 Abstract ( )   PDF (1105KB) ( )   The dispute game of islands and reefs in the South China Sea affects national security and regional development.Based on an improved Hawk-Dove model, comprehensive geographic factors and national antagonistic preferences were used to analyze the game trends of island and reef disputes in the Nansha Islands.Results showed that: (1) the islands and reefs in the northern part of the Nansha Islands have high average geographic value and competition intensity. China, Vietnam and the Philippines all control the islands and reefs in this area, and the asymmetry of geo-potential between three countries is close.This area may become a hot spot for rights disputes in the future.(2) The probability of cooperation between China and the claimant countries is affected by geographic value of islands and reefs, country's geo-potential, conflict costs, and the states' antagonistic preferences.Geographic value and the states' antagonistic preferences are negatively correlated with the probability of cooperation; conflict cost is positively correlated with probability of cooperation.When the geo-potential of countries on islands and reefs is close, the probability of cooperation is the smallest; as the gap of geo-potential increases, asymmetry increases, the probability of cooperation finally increases.(3) In the dispute over Nansha islands and reefs, China and Malaysia have the highest probability of cooperation, but the cooperation with Vietnam is unstable, and the cooperation with Philippines is the smallest.

Spatio-temporal characteristics of fishery resources utilization in the South China Sea and its governance Xin ZHAO 2022, 31(4): 762-772.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20222006 Abstract ( )   PDF (720KB) ( )   Fishery development in the South China Sea (SCS) has played an important role in safeguarding China's fishery and maritime rights and interests. In recent years, the rapid decline of fishery resources and the rising conflict situation need to find a breakthrough in governance innovation.Based on this, this article first analyze spatio-temporal patterns of SCS fisheries from two aspects: SCS fishery resources and environment characteristics, and historical evolution and present situation of SCS fishery resources development and utilization, points out that SCS fishery resources and environment have interoperability, integrity and mutual dependence across national boundaries. In addition, the surrounding countries and regions are highly dependent on the fishery in SCS, which has caused serious degradation of resources and environment. Second, through analyzing SCS fishing conflicts, SCS fishery resources management challenges, points out that the conditions of causing conflict in SCS fisheries may be more common, there is an urgent need for all parties in SCS to confront the fisheries sustainability crisis. Facing common challenges and interests such as degradation of fishery resources and environment, lack of systematic science and limited regional collaboration, could serve as a link for regional cooperation. Finally, based on the governance of regional fishery resources, the guidelines of building a maritime community with shared future in SCS are put forward. Practical cooperation on fishery resource management could be carried out by promoting green aquaculture, enhancing resource and environmental restoration and deepening scientific research sharing. The cross-scale implementation system of maritime governance measures could be improved at regional, national and local levels through coordinating with neighboring countries to improve the top-level maritime and fishery policies at the domestic level, and strengthen the role of local governments, private sectors and individual citizens in SCS cooperation activities. Promoting the construction of regional cooperation governance system through the establishment and improvement of regional organizations and regional maritime legal system.

The enlightenments of the port system and functional differentiation in South China to the construction of Hainan Yangpu Free Trade Port Chunzhu WEI, Wei CHEN, Qi WANG, Yanjun DONG, Gengzhi HUANG 2022, 31(4): 773-785.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20220525 Abstract ( )   PDF (2311KB) ( )   The coastal area of South China is located at the crossroads of the Maritime Silk Road, its surrounding ports and their corresponding port industries are of great significance to promoting cross-regional social and economic cooperation. In this study, we compared the shipping network characteristics of ten typical ports as well as their port-adjacent industries in South China, and found that: (1) The current container throughput and market share of Yangpu Port are still relatively small. The container throughput in 2020 was 1.0193 million TEU, which only accounted for 1.25% of the proportion of the 10 typical ports in the South China region, and only had a relatively high shipping frequency with Qinzhou Port, Singapore Port and Ho Chi Minh Port in the South China Sea. In terms of route layout, Yangpu Port urgently needs to learn from Hong Kong Port, Guangzhou Port and Shenzhen Port, continuously improve the short-distance transnational routes in the South China Sea, and expand more long-distance transnational and intercontinental routes; (2) The number of regional enterprises in Yangpu port had increased from 326 in 2005 to 1,461, and its proportion within the South China region had increased from 0.18% in 2005 to 0.47% in 2015. However, the spatial density of enterprises is smaller than that of other port areas. Among them, the number of maritime loading and unloading industries and cross-border logistics industries directly involved in the maritime industries are relatively small; the development of dependent industries mainly relies on the fishery, and other industries such as shipbuilding and construction are less. Among the service industries related to port affairs, fewer types of services that mainly in the retail industry are provided, and lack of service types such as marine insurance and marine finance. Therefore, Hainan Ports need to transform from diversification to specialization under the new normal of high-quality development. The mutual communication and interaction between the ports, as well as their industrial and economic activities, will gradually form a coastal port group with complementary advantages, reasonable division of labor, mutual cooperation and orderly competition.

Analyses on the spatio-temporal evolution and driving factors of land use in India during 2000—2020 Hong ZHANG, Wen DENG, Yi WANG 2022, 31(4): 786-799.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20220450 Abstract ( )   PDF (3150KB) ( )   India has become the world's fastest-growing and one of the top ten big economy. Land resource plays an important role in India's development. As one of the countries with the largest cultivated land area and agricultural history, the spatial configuration and evolution of the land use of India are significant to global food safety and sustainability. We obtained the GlobeLand 30 land use data of India in the year 2000, 2010 and 2020, and classified the land use into six types including cultivated land, forest land, grassland, waterbody, construction land and unused land. Then we explored the size, composition, morphology and configuration of each land use type, examined the spatio-temporal evolution and conversation of land use by landscape metrics, rising and falling Tupu and transition Tupu. We also analyzed the driving force of land use change of India by the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. It is found that: (1) The cultivated land accounts as high as 62.91 % of which is the main land use type. The patch is very irregular with the value of area weighted average fractal dimension index as 1.37. The total area of cultivated land keeps stable, while more and more cultivated land has been changed to construction land due to rapid urbanization and growing population.(2)Forest land ranks second in terms of area. It shows obvious spatial agglomeration property. The area of forest land decreases slowly but steadily. It has changed into unused land from the year 2000 to 2010 with a transition rate of 19.73%, and then interchanged with grassland from year 2011 to 2020, with the in and out transition rate of 17.94% and 18.17%, respectively.(3)The grassland of India distributes fragmentedly and dispersedly. It increases slowly and has the largest incremental area. The ratio of the incremental grassland area to all the incremental land is as high as 28.31% and 28.64% from 2000 to 2010, and 2011 to 2020, respectively, in which 18.91% and 18.17% are transited from forest land. (4)Most of the construction land is clustered in the national capital territory of Delhi, and West Bengal and Assam in east India. The patches of construction land are relatively regular. The area of construction land has increased rapidly recently. Its transition rate reaches as high as 2.51% in which most are transited from cultivated land.(5)The extreme temperature, elevation, population, GDP and policy are the main driving forces both for cultivated and construction land-use change.

Establishment of RCEP FTA and its trade pattern evolution among member countries Lei TAO, Zhouying SONG 2022, 31(4): 800-813.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.2021785 Abstract ( )   PDF (2055KB) ( )   RCEP Free Trade Area (FTA) is currently the largest FTA in the world. It is an important platform and carrier for China to promote the development of the multilateral trading system and lead inclusive globalization. Actively integrating and leading the construction of RCEP FTA is of great significance to promote the optimization of China's foreign trade pattern and to form a new development pattern of mutual promotion between domestic and international circulation. In order to provide support for China to lead the development of RCEP FTA, this paper reviews the establishment process of RCEP FTA and analyzes the evolution trend of trade pattern among RCEP member countries. The research shows that: ①The establishment of RCEP FTA can be divided into conception stage, negotiation stage and construction stage. In this process, ASEAN has played a core leading role, but China's role is gradually increasing. ②From 2001 to 2019, RCEP intra-regional trade has experienced three periods, as rapid growth, steady development and rising volatility, while its position in the world trade pattern continued to rise. ③Since 2001, the spatial structure of RCEP trade network has gradually changed from a single core structure with Japan as the core to a dual core structure with China and Japan as the core, and then to a single core structure with China as the cores. ④The evolution of trade relations among RCEP member countries shows diversified characteristics, which can be divided into six categories considering the trade scale and trade concentration. Among them, China, Vietnam, and Australia belong to the fast-growth type, with their trade status in RCEP FTA increased significantly; while the trade status of Brunei, Japan, and Singapore decreased significantly.

The spatio-temporal characteristics of China's energy investment layout and risk in RCEP countries Qifan XIA 2022, 31(4): 814-826.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.20222004 Abstract ( )   PDF (1318KB) ( )   Energy investment is not only an important part of RCEP promotion, but also a powerful measure to carry out China's surrounding energy cooperation and ensure energy security. This paper uses the data from 2005 to 2021, including China's energy investment in RCEP members, and the UN voting data. Then it discusses the spatio-temporal characteristics of China's energy investment layout and risk in RCEP countries by means of investment risk index and GIS spatial technology. The following conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, RCEP members play a particularly prominent role in China's foreign energy investment, and new energy has become a new growth pole for Chinese enterprises' investment layout. Secondly, the pattern of China's energy investment in RCEP countries presents a trend of coexistence of ladders and diversification. Chinese enterprises follow the entry model of led by state-owned enterprises, with Sino-foreign joint venture and greenfield investment in the minority. Finally, the overall investment environment in the RCEP region has deteriorated significantly, and the policy environment constitutes a long-term shortcoming of energy investment risks in the Indo-China Peninsula. The deterioration of political relations has severely impacted the energy cooperation between China and Australia. The results of this study have implications for China's energy external layout.

The temporal and spatial evolution of market segmentation and its spatial spillover in the Yangtze River Delta Region Xiang KONG, Kaihang CHEN, Yiman LI 2022, 31(4): 827-836.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.2020380 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1088KB) ( )   The elimination of market segmentation is the primary goal of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta region, and it also meets the requirement of promoting high-quality development of regional economy. Therefore, it is necessary to depict and analyze the temporal and spatial evolution of market segmentation in the Yangtze River Delta region in recent years and explore its spatial externalities. Based on market segmentation of the circulation of commodities, labor migration "two sides" perspective, this article integrated using the method of relative price method, the spatial econometric model, to 35 cities in Yangtze river delta, 2008-2017 panel data analysis, to explore market segmentation in Yangtze river delta geography process, pattern, as well as its spatial spillover effects on regional economic growth. The research shows that:① in the past ten years, the segmentation of commodity and labor market in the Yangtze River Delta region presents a downward trend in fluctuation, with a decrease of 63% and 48% respectively; ② Spatial differentiation of market segmentation varies from province (municipality) to province (municipality) and also city to city. At the provincial level, the segmentation of commodity and labor market in all provinces(municipalities) has a downward trend. The annual trend of commodity market segmentation between provinces(municipalities) is consistent, while the labor market segmentation shows great difference after 2012. At the municipal level, the decrease of commodity market segmentation in core cities is 65.8%, which is larger than that in non-core cities, and the decrease of labor market segmentation is only 37.2%, which is significantly smaller than that in non-core cities. As a result, the rank of the commodity market segmentation in the core cities moves down, while the rank of the labor market segmentation moves up; ③ The results of the spatial econometric model show that labor market segmentation has a significant negative space spillover effect on regional economic growth, which is mainly reflected by direct effect, while the indirect effect coefficient is negative but not significant outside the region. Although the influence coefficient of commodity segmentation on regional economic growth is not statistically significant, its negative coefficient still reflects its spatial inhibitory effect on economic growth to some extent.

Analyzing the structure of the frontier province's tourism network and identifying the roles of scenic spots in the network can highlight the spatial function of the scenic spots and promote the efficient development of tourism in frontier areas. Based on the data of online travel route products, this paper used the role recognition model of scenic spots, modular analysis and optimal scale to analyze the network structure and influencing factors of 126 tourist scenic spots in Yunnan, a typical frontier province. The results show that: ①The tourism flow network in Yunnan province presents 6 cluster modules, the position of the module in the tourism flow network is determined by its main role, and the modularization trend of the scenic spots in the destination is obvious, forming a "three-core, multi-axis" mode; ②Tourist scenic spots are identified as four roles: hub scenic spots, important scenic spots, ordinary scenic spots, and fringe scenic spots. The core hubs of high-level scenic spots are prominent and have a significant agglomeration and diffusion effect. Important scenic spots are closely connected with hub scenic spots, ordinary and fringe scenic spots Concentrated in western Yunnan and connected with evacuation;③The frontier provinces Scenic spots with strong nationality and high altitude as well as large differences and high resource endowments have large passenger flows. The research results can provide some suggestions for Yunnan Province to strengthen the construction of global tourism, promote the layout of tourism industry and the role of scenic spots and quality upgrade.

Multi-scale spatial characteristics of sharing accommodation prices and their influencing factors Xiaobin MA, Xing ZHONG, Guolin HOU, Li LI, Jiangyan ZHANG 2022, 31(4): 872-880.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2022.04.2020546 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (729KB) ( )   Taking the southern Jiangsu area as a case, obtaining Airbnb website housing data, comprehensively using the Theil index, DBSCAN clustering algorithm and other analysis methods, discussing the spatial differentiation of sharing accommodation prices from a multi-scale perspective, using OLS regression model, The quantile regression model compares and analyzes the influencing factors of sharing accommodation prices from the perspective of combining the inside and outside of the housing. Results show that: (1) The price of sharing accommodations varies significantly within cities and districts and counties, and the difference between cities and districts and counties is relatively small; (2) There are significant differences in the spatial clustering centers of shared accommodation at different price levels. The dependence of high, middle and low-end shared accommodation on the water area gradually decreases. On the whole, the spatial clustering centers show a distribution of "more east and less west, more south and less north"; (3) The housing price of shared accommodation is the result of the co-coupling of internal attributes and external attributes. In comparison, housing prices are greatly affected by internal attributes such as the number of toilets in the housing, and less affected by external attributes. At the same time, different influencing factors have obvious differences and stratification in the direction and degree of influence of shared accommodation listings at the same price level.

Female groups have gradually received widespread attention from scholars from all walks of life. Feminist geography has also become an emerging research hotspot in geography. With the help of CiteSpace software and knowledge mapping, this study analyzes the key words and research themes of feminist geography in different stages from 1978 to 2018, summarizes the key points of current feminist geography research, and puts forward the framework and future research direction of feminist geography in China. The research results show that: ① Feminist geography has gradually entered the public field of vision and has obvious interdisciplinary characteristics. Its research focuses on different themes in different periods, and the characteristics of different stages are relatively prominent on the whole; ② In terms of research themes, feminist geography in China mainly focuses on five themes, but the breadth and depth of research still need to be further strengthened; ③ The research of feminist geography in China is still in its infancy In terms of perspective, western countries pay more attention to women's emotional experience in space, while domestic countries pay more attention to the spatiotemporal behavior patterns formed by women's different roles.. In the future, research on feminist geography should further innovate the way of data acquisition and give more academic attention to diverse research subjects.
