Multi-scenario forecast of city linkage between Southwest China and Southeast Asia under the background of Pan-Asia High-speed Railway construction Min ZHAO, Jun ZHANG, Peng LI 2023, 32(3): 1-16.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2021761 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (4416KB) ( )   The construction of high-speed railways has played a fundamental role in advancing the connectivity of the "Belt and Road" strategy. Carrying out research on the prediction of international city linkages in the context of the construction of the Pan-Asia High-speed Railways can provide a basis for decision-making in the construction of transportation infrastructure in connection with facilities. Based on the dynamics and uncertainties of international high-speed railways construction, three different scenarios I, II and III are proposed for the construction of Pan-Asia High-speed Railways in 2025, 2030 and 2040. Using cost weighted distance, weighted average travel time and gravity model, 50 major cities in seven Southeast Asian countries, Yunnan Province and Guangxi Province in China were selected to analyze the spatial-temporal variation of city accessibility and linkage intensity. Results from the status quo to the hypothetical scenario Ⅲ showed that: ①The total time cost to the city pairs will be reduced by 28%, and one-day city pairs will become the dominant part. The gap between the accessibility of cities in the northern and central parts of the region will be narrowed; ②The average time cost of each city will be reduced by 6.8 hours, and the spatial structure of the city time cost will change from a circle layer to a multi-corridor; ③The average value of the linkage intensity of each city will be concentrated in the high linkage strength interval, and the spatial difference in linkage intensity between the seven countries and the two provinces, as well as between the cities, will be reduced; ④The city pairs in the low linkage intensity range will develop from a heterogeneous network to a homogeneous network, and the city pairs in the high linkage intensity range will develop from the northern and southern local area networks to a whole area network.

The evolution of China's mobile phone export trade pattern and its influencing factors Jingya XU, Zhouying SONG 2023, 32(3): 17-27.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.20220043 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1462KB) ( )   In recent years, China's position in the global mobile phone production network has been rising, gradually becoming the world's largest exporter of mobile phones. At the same time, with the gradual saturation of China's domestic mobile phone market, more and more manufacturers pay attention to the development of overseas markets. Through the research methods of trade flow, trade intensity index and panel data model, this paper analyzed the evolution of China's mobile phone export pattern and its influencing factors since 2007. The study found that: (1) Since 2007, China's mobile phone export has experienced three stages of slow growth, rapid growth and fluctuating growth, and its global share has been increasing. However, due to the impact of trade protectionism and COVID-19, China's mobile phone export has been shrinking since 2018. (2) The network density of China's mobile phone export continues to increase, showing a three pole pattern with East Asia, the United States and the European Union as the core; However, the concentration of mobile phone export trade network is high, and there are some security risks. (3) There is a spatial dislocation between the core node of China's mobile phone export trade network and the regions with high trade intensity index. The EU is the largest market, but the trade intensity index is not high. Africa has a small market share, but the trade intensity index is very high. ASEAN is not only the main market for China's mobile phone export, but also the region with high export dependence. (4) The main factors affecting China's mobile phone export pattern are the existing mobile phone trade pattern and political stability, followed by geographical distance, destination market scale and other factors, while China's foreign direct investment, cultural distance, business environment, technical barriers to trade and other factors have less impact. The main factors affecting China's mobile phone export pattern are the manufacturing labor price and R&D expenditure on the supply side, followed by the institutional quality and market size on the demand side, while the circulation factors have less impact.

COVID-19 diffusion in Russia: Process, pattern and influencing factors Nanchen CHU, Pingyu ZHANG, Xiangli WU, Shuang XU, Xiaonan SHI 2023, 32(3): 41-51.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2020884 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1434KB) ( )   This paper studied the COVID-19 development process, spatial pattern and influencing factors in Russia. Based on the indicators of the total confirmed cases, new daily confirmed cases, cured cases amount and death cases amount, the spatial differentiation pattern of the COVID-19 in Russia were studied by using ArcGIS. And the influencing factors of COVID-19 spreading were analyzed with the multiple linear regression analysis. The results are as below. First, the spreading process of COVID-19 in Russia had four stages, namely, being stage I: occasional occurrence, stage II: rapid diffusion, stage III: attenuation diffusion, and stage IV: serious diffusion. The cure rate of COVID-19 has been increasing, and the death rate of COVID-19 is around 2% in Russia. Second, population size, economic development level, medical level, and transportation network have a certain impact on the spread of COVID-19 in Russia. Third, Russia's COVID-19 spread is characterized from the multi-point diffusion in the early stage to the complete diffusion in the later stage. From the center of Moscow city, the spatial spread of COVID-19 mainly shows the patterns of adjacent diffusion, relocation diffusion, hierarchical diffusion, and corridor diffusion. What's more, Russia's COVID-19 spread also shows the characteristics of internal spatial agglomeration. The areas with high COVID-19 confirmed cases are concentrated in Moscow City, Moscow Region, Saint-Petersburg city, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Sverdlovsk Region, Khanty-Mansiysky Autonomous Area, Rostov Region, and Krasnoyarsk Territory. Finally, we suggest policies and strategies that can boost the cooperation and development between China and Russia in the post-COVID-19 period.

Analysis on the evolution of bauxite flow pattern in the world based on the gravity model of resource field Di WU, Yupeng WANG, Nuo WANG 2023, 32(3): 52-63.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2021065 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1134KB) ( )   Bauxite, the raw material for aluminum production, is a bulk commodity in international trade. China is the world's largest importer of bauxite. It is of great significance for China to adjust its production capacity structure by analyzing the changes in the bauxite flow pattern and its evolution causes since this century. In this paper, the concept of resource field is introduced, the gravity model of bauxite resource field is constructed, and the cause of its change is revealed. The results are as follows: geographically, the flow of bauxite resources in the world is a process of moving from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere; the potential of resource field determines the change of bauxite resource flow trace; the Strait of Malacca is the most important maritime channel from Guinea to China, accounting for 44% of China's imports of bauxite; the supply capacity of the world's bauxite exporting countries and the strong production demand of the importing countries are the basic driving forces to promote the flow of bauxite resources. However, transportation cost and increase of bauxite prices are the basic obstacles to its flow. This study reveals the flow pattern of bauxite resources in the world in recent years and its evolution causes, which has reference significance for the relevant departments of China to formulate relevant policies scientifically.

Analysis on the spatial-temporal pattern and influencing factors of regional economic resilience in China under the COVID-19 pandemic Liangang LI, Xiaohui HU 2023, 32(3): 64-75.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2021987 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (2063KB) ( )   The pandemic (COVID-19) crisis has brought an unprecedented shock on regional economies. The impact object, spatial scale and transmission nature of the shock are different from any previous shocks. Exploring the response and adaptation of regional economy under the new shock provides a new topic for the study of regional economic resilience. Drawing upon the current understanding of the characteristics and developmental trend of COVID-19, this paper measured the economic resilience of China's provinces from the perspective of resistance. It also analyzed the influencing factors of the patial-temporal differences in economic resilience.The results show that: (1) There are differences and complexity in regional economic resilience under different dimensions. The resistance of GDP dimension is high, and the regions with low resistance are concentrated in the central and northeast China. The resistance of import and export dimension is the lowest, and the resistance of import and export in border areas is lower. The resistance of consumption dimension is relatively low. In the long run, the resistance of consumption in the eastern China is high. (2) The attributes of regional industrial structure still play a key role in affecting regional economic resilience. For a long time, a higher degree of specialization significantly promotes resilience. Moreover, related diversification plays a positive role in promoting resilience after the outbreak of the pandemic for a period of time, while unrelated diversification plays a negative role in regional economic resilience for a long time. (3) Governance regulation has a significant effect on regional resilience. Regional external dependence is conducive to the regional economy to actively respond to the pandemic shock.

Analysis on coupling coordination degree of production-living-ecological functions in shrinking cities of China's three major urban agglomerations Chang LU, Xueyuan XU, Meixuan ZHOU 2023, 32(3): 76-88.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2021226 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1954KB) ( )   This article uses population density as a quantitative standard to identify the shrinkage of 137 cities at or above the county level in the three major urban agglomerations of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta in 2012-2017, and construct a multi-dimensional index system to evaluate the shrinking cities The spatial and temporal differences of the production-living-ecological function are analyzed, and the spatial and temporal pattern evolution characteristics of the coordination degree of the shrinking. The research shows that: ① In 2012-2017, there were 40 shrinking cities in the three major urban agglomerations, accounting for 29.20% of the total number of cities, mainly with slight shrinkage, concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, mainly including resource-based cities, small and medium-sized cities around core cities and remote underdeveloped cities.② During the study period, the spatial and temporal patterns of the production-living-ecological function of the shrinking cities of the three major urban agglomerations were significantly different. The comprehensive function of the 21 shrinking cities declined, and the production-living-ecological function of the shrinking cities of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration declined most obviously.③The coordination level of the production-living-ecological functional coupling in the shrinking cities of the three major urban agglomerations is generally low, and they are all in low-level coupling and transitional stages. Among them, the coupling coordination degree of the shrinking cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is significantly higher than that of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. Urban agglomerations have obvious regional differences; the coupling coordination degree of shrinking cities in the Yangtze River Delta is relatively stable. The shrinking situation of the three major urban agglomerations is closely related to the change trend of the production-living-ecological function and coupling coordination degree. The research results can formulate differentiated production-living-ecological function promotion strategies for the shrinking cities of the three major urban agglomerations, and promote the production-living-ecological function of urban agglomerations.

Spatiotemporal evolution and influencing factors of environmental efficiency in China's marine economic circle Yuangang HAN, Huizhong DONG, Hongjie ZHANG, Zhengxu CAO 2023, 32(3): 89-100.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2021011 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1847KB) ( )   Improving marine environmental efficiency is not only a fundamental requirement for building a maritime power, but also an important part of building an ecological civilization. Using Undesirable-SBM model, ESDA spatial statistics, cloud model and GWR model, we investigated the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics and mechanism of marine environmental efficiency in the marine economic circle during 2007-2020. The results showed that: ①The marine environmental efficiency fluctuated in the shape of "M" from 2006 to 2011, and tended to be stable from 2012. ②The spatial disequilibrium of marine environmental efficiency had been significant during the study period. ③Among all the factors influencing marine environmental efficiency, infrastructure and environmental regulation had the strongest positive influence. Resource utilization shows strong fluctuation characteristics. Industrial structure hinders the improvement of Marine environmental efficiency, and "structural dividend" is ineffective. The research results provide theoretical reference for realizing the sustainable development of Marine economic circle, and have important practical significance for promoting the green development of Marine economy and strengthening the construction of marine ecological civilization.

Based on POI data and remote sensing data of night light, this paper used spatial visualization and spatial statistical analysis methods to measure the level, scale, structure and spatio-temporal coupling of daytime and night urban vitality in Inner Mongolia, and further analyzed the influencing factors of its spatial pattern. The results show that: (1) Most cities in Inner Mongolia are not very dynamic, and the phenomenon of polarization is obvious. The change of the order of vitality scale is significant, showing the characteristics of unbalanced development. (2) The distribution pattern of vitality intensity was "high in the south and low in the north", which was divided by "Zhalainte Banner-Alashan Left Banner". The spatial and temporal coupling intensity is layered and gradually diffused from the downtown to the outside. (3) The economic density, the proportion of tertiary industries, the degree of informatization, and the strength of science and technology have a significant impact on the spatial pattern of urban vitality in Inner Mongolia, all of which have obvious spatio-temporal dependence characteristics. Based on the research results and the actual urban development in Inner Mongolia, the corresponding policy suggestions are put forward. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

Spatial-temporal evolution and formation mechanism of ecological well-being performance in Jiangsu Province Zaijun LI, Meijuan HU 2023, 32(3): 124-135.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2020926 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (988KB) ( )   Ecological well-being performance integrates the three major systems of economy, society and ecology. It is an effective tool for measuring the sustainable development capacity and reflects both regional inter-generational equity and intra-generational equity. This study uses the Super SBM-DEA model and system dynamic panel regression model to analyze the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics, influencing factors and formation mechanism of ecological well-being performance in Jiangsu province from 2000 to 2017. The study found that: (1) The level of urban ecological well-being performance in Jiangsu province was relatively low, and the overall shape was a "U" characteristic that first declines and then rises. It has experienced rapid decline, slow fluctuations and orderly growth. (2) From a spatial perspective, the difference in ecological well-being performance between regional cities was significant, and there was a significant spatial mismatch between economic growth and ecological well-being performance. The economic well-being performance of the economically developed cities in south Jiangsu was far lower than that of the underdeveloped central and northern Jiangsu cities. (3) The system dynamic panel regression showed that urbanization, economic growth and ecological well-being performance all show a significant U-shaped curve relationship, consumption level and industrial structure advanced played a significant positive driving role, foreign direct investment and energy intensity played a significant inhibitory role, the impact of population density on ecological well-being performance was weak and insignificant.

Research on the whole tree-shaped life spatial structure of the port hinterland based on the "Big Tree Theory" Zhenfu LI, Zhao DENG, Yiran ZHANG 2023, 32(3): 136-143.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.20220086 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (570KB) ( )   The port hinterland system is an important force to support regional economic development and spatial structure reshaping, as well as the key to realize the transformation of industrial structure and the optimal allocation of resources. Firstly, based on port hinterland evolution theory and ecological theory, according to the new characteristics, the "Big Tree Theory" of the port hinterland system is proposed from the concept definition, evolution mode, evolution mechanism, etc. This study divides the evolution process of the port-hinterland life spatial structure into 4 stages: port-hinterland tree trunk growth, port-hinterland tree root growth, port-hinterland tree crown growth and the whole tree-shaped life spatial structure in the port-hinterland. Meanwhile, we analyze and describe the evolution mode of port-hinterland in each of the various stages. Secondly, this study builds a system that reveals the dynamic mechanism of the whole tree-shaped life spatial structure in the port-hinterland from the port-hinterland spatial system, the port-hinterland economy system, and the port-hinterland transportation system. Finally, this paper takes Dalian as an empirical case to verify the "Big Tree Theory" of the port hinterland. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

Measurement and influencing factors of placeness perception of ethnic village residents under the background of tourism development: Song YIN, Rui LI, Hongmei YIN 2023, 32(3): 144-156.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2020846 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1087KB) ( )   Taking 24 Miao villages in Leigong Mountain Area of Guizhou Province as the case study, based on the survey data of placeness perception, this paper uses the cluster analysis method to divide the 24 ethnic villages into five types with different degrees of tourism development, and measures the placeness perception. With the help of geographic detector method, this paper makes factor detection and interactive detection on the four dimensions of landscape, text, symbol and emotion that affect village residents' placeness perception in Leigong Mountain area. The results show that: (1)There are differences in village residents' placeness perception in different stages of tourism development, among which the village residents in the stable stage have the weakest placeness perception.(2) From the development stage to the stable stage, the residents' perception of landscape, text and symbol dimensions is enhanced, but the perception of emotional dimension is weakened.(3) From the development stage to the stable stage, the function of placeness elements has changed from daily life to entertainment and leisure to industrial development.(4) The placeness perception of all kinds of villages is enhanced by two factors after two-way interaction, and the interaction of landscape dimension and symbol dimension has the greatest impact on placeness perception. The above conclusions provide a theoretical basis for avoiding the "homogeneity" and "non placeness" of tourism development in ethnic villages and promoting the coordinated development of tourism and human land relationship in ethnic villages.

The islandization of the university town from the perspective of teachers' behavior: A case study of Changqing University Town, Ji'nan City Lin ZHAO, Qianqian DOU, Guanwen YIN, Lan ZHAO 2023, 32(3): 157-168.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2020819 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (1440KB) ( )   With the rapid development of China's urbanization, a large number of new urban spaces such as university towns have emerged. At the same time, the geographical "separation" between university towns and urban centers established on the fringe of the city has gradually emerged. This article uses "islandization" to summarize this phenomenon, and from the perspective of teacher behavior, take Jinan Changqing University Town as an example to explore. Mainly use questionnaire survey method and interview method to analyze the daily behavior characteristics of teachers' commuting, shopping, medical treatment, leisure, etc., and reveal the influencing factors and formation mechanism of the "islandization" of university towns. The study found that the incomplete living service facilities in university towns have made most teachers choose to live in the downtown area. The separation of work and residence has caused teachers to commute with high frequency and time. The life needs of teachers are not fully satisfied in the university city, so daily activities such as shopping, medical treatment, and leisure tend to be carried out in the downtown area. Therefore, it can be seen from the behavior of teachers that there are three levels of space in the Changqing University Town, the center of Changqing District, and the center of Jinan, and the characteristics of islanding of the University Town are obvious. Moreover, islandization is formed under the interrelation and mutual influence of three factors: material, behavior and psychology. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

Home of myself: Distancing in remaking home of senior tourism migrants Shuyue XIE, Honggang XU 2023, 32(3): 169-180.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1004-9479.2023.03.2021323 Abstract ( )   HTML ( )   PDF (928KB) ( )   Although meaning of home is influenced by distancing, it is usually overlooked that how distancing affects the process of building a home. As a kind of practice, Distancing is an important way to build relationships between individual and the external environment. Through relational perspectives, home is regarded as a relational space. Taking senior tourism migrants in Pai, Thailand as a case study, this paper examines the meaning of home, the process of building homes and in which the role of distance plays in the background of increasing tourism-led mobility. Quality research methods—semi-interview, participated and non-participated observation—were used during the field work, in which the researchers have stay in the case from Jan.9,2020 to Jan.20,2020. 17 old tourism migrants from 8 different countries have accepted the interviews. Each conversation lasted for 20~50 minutes. It found that: (1) Home is a comfortable relationship with physical environment, social environment and inner world. Home is the result of distance practice. (2) Western senior tourism migrants experience "home of myself" and sustain a self-centered lifestyle. And their homes are consisted of personal social and physical aspects. Different aspects of home are not as equal as important but diverse, western old tourism migrants consider personal aspect of home is more crucial than physical and social aspect of home. The research conclusions deepen the research framework of the meaning of the home, point out the importance of distance practice for the construction of home, and at the same time enrich the understanding of the "ideal home" of the elderly, and recognize the importance of self-space and control of life to the elderly.
