    County-level housing structure data,especially those in rural areas,are critical for evaluating regional seismic vulnerability and making anti-disaster planning.The data open to the public,however,are incomplete and inconsistent in scale.This paper addressed this issue and estimated the county-level rural housing structure data across the country,including rural and urban housing number and housing ratios in five structures,including wood,brick,mixed,and reinforced concrete.The national 1/100 census data conducted in 2005 were taken as the basic data.Based on an evaluation of the original data,four spatial accuracy levels were specified according to their statistical scales.Separation method was used to identify rural and urban housing data individually from total housing data.Besides,spatial down-scaling models were established to transfer housing data from province-level or prefecture-level to county-level.The influences of geographic factors,including architectural climate zone and architectural thermo zone,and economic and social factors,for example,average relative GDP per capita,minority counties,were considered in the models,and also spatial autocorrelation was considered in prefecture-level models.Linear regression models and MLP models were compared with Rsqure and RMSE when making spatial down-scaling models,and linear regression models were adopted.Finally,models' Rsqures reached 70% and 40% corresponding to prefecture-level and province-level models,which seemed acceptable facing the incomplete and inconsistent data at present.

    The evaluation of the comprehensive urbanization level is a basic issue in the field of urban studies,which has been highly concerned and disputed for a long time.Studies in China have long been restricted by biased single indicators and too complex multi-indicator systems.This paper,considering the diversity of urbanization modes and suitability of multi-scales,proposes an index framework including three major aspects(population,economic structure and land use) and emphasizes the coordination relationships among them.A case study of the Yangtze River Delta Region has proven the effectiveness of this index framework.Empirical results manifest a typical "Center-Periphery" spatial pattern in this region,which exists under different spatial scales and evolves to be more distinct from 2000 to 2005.Regression analysis reveals that this spatial pattern is a prominent feature of this region and can also be attributed to economic level and foreign direct investment.Due to rapid development,it is difficult for this region to keep the three major aspects synchronous.A further examination finds that the coordination level among population,economic structure and land use tends to decline rather than ascend with the increase of integrated urbanization level.Besides,this desynchrony phenomenon is more significant in the county-scale analysis than in the prefecture-level city analysis,so the appropriate evaluating scale is important.Finally,the authors put emphasis on superiority of comprehensive evaluation in promoting the healthy urbanization,especially in this stage of rapid development for contemporary China.

    With the process of globalization,the competition among the ports,shipping lines and terminal operators to attain more container traffic has been intense.To obtain more container traffic,some ports have been making a great effort to be a logistic hub to increase their competitive advantage.Under the circumstances,port backup area has attracted much attention in recent years as an important function area.Based on the current development of various types of port backup function area,this paper puts emphasis on the perspective of coupled pattern and process,viewing various types of port backup area as a whole,and discusses the theory of formation and evolution mechanism.The authors hold that global supply chain and evolution of port function,external scale economy and enterprise cooperation promotion,port economy of scale and periphery challenge,regional transportation network layout,resource endowment and needs and policy guidance of urban development are the important driving forces to promote the evolution of port backup area.Meanwhile,the authors believe that evolution of port backup area can be classified into four stages,namely,the period of initial development,the period of unbalanced development,the period of rapid unbalanced expansion and the period of highly differentiated development.According to this model,there are different features in each stage.The empirical analysis shows that,Shanghai port backup area is in the evolution transition period from rapid unbalanced expansion to highly differentiated development.In the next period of time,the evolution will enter the stage of highly differentiated development.

    Based on the model of co-evolution of culture and economy,the co-evolution types of Fengxian and Kunshan were judged.Moreover,the Fengxian pattern and the Kunshan pattern were interpreted and compared based on aspects of the path,the subtype,the class,the subclass and the process of co-evolution.Conclusions were drawn as follows.Firstly,regional development pattern was the results of the co-evolution of culture and economy.Research showed that,on the one hand,regional culture influenced the development path of regional economy,on the other hand,regional economy influenced the development process of regional culture,and the mutual coupling and co-evolution led to the higher level regional development pattern.The regional development pattern became a theoretical analytical frame which paid attention to the internal two-way interactive relation between culture and economy and its geographic results.Secondly,the regional development evolution was an unbalanced development process of co-evolution of culture and economy.Empirical studies showed that neither the Fengxian pattern of economic guidance nor the Kunshan pattern of synchronous development of culture and economy achieved the synchronization between culture and economy,instead,the unbalanced development showed "as one falls,another rises".Thirdly,the formation of regional development pattern was a process of co-evolution of culture and economy which was coupled with multi-factor and multi-level.It was found that the process of co-evolution of culture and economy was related to not only the internal cultural characteristics,economic structure and historical basis,but also the external institutional environment,geographical location,and external radiation effect.Finally,the innovation of regional development pattern was a process of co-evolution of culture and economy which included both path dependence and path creation.For the Fengxian development process of traditional agriculture,modern agriculture,equal stress laid on both agriculture and industry,as well as the Kunshan development process of agriculture to industry,inside to outside,dispersion to agglomeration,the regional development process was a development path which was constantly clear,then formed,and even dependent at last,and it was also a process of model innovations and path creation by adjusting development path and promoting development levels.

    In this study,we use three scenes of Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM) images,including those of 1988,1998 and 2006,to detect the expansion of construction land in the Pearl River Delta.Meanwhile,we analyze the economic growth pattern of the region by the input-output analysis of the primary factors and the production organization analysis.Based on it,we conduct research on the interaction between the construction land expansion and the economic growth pattern in the Pearl River Delta,using the quantitative analysis. The result shows that the Pearl River Delta's economic growth presents a typical extensive and export-oriented growth pattern,which relies on a large number of primary factors affecting production inputs and the promotion of foreign investment to achieve rapid economic growth.This pattern reflects the characteristics which is called "high input,high consumption,high output and export-orientation". For the relationship between the extensive growth pattern and the construction land expansion,there is exponential correlation between the input-output coefficients and the land use efficiency.With the rise in input-output coefficients,the efficiency of construction land drops down exponentially.For the relationship between the export-oriented growth pattern and the construction land expansion,although the extent of the export-oriented economic growth will not affect construction land expansion,the foreign capital flows play an important role in guiding the expansion of construction land while production organization mode of export-oriented will also reflect the distribution and morphology of construction land directly. In fact,both the phase change and the spatial feature of the construction land of the region such as "site factor pointer","small towns pointer" and "decentralization and inefficiency" are closely related to the economic growth pattern.Thus,there is a causal link between construction land expansion and economic growth pattern.They promote each other and constitute the "land-economy" interactive system.Only when we change the economic growth pattern while optimizing the allocation of land resources,could we establish the positive interactive relationship between land and economy,and achieve sustainable economic growth and utilization of land resources.

    Highly precise Land Use and Cover Change(LUCC) dataset plays a key role in improving simulations of effects of LUCC on climate and ecosystem.Historical LUCC usually has no precise spatial location information.This shortage limited usage of historical LUCC dataset in the global environmental changes simulations.So,it is needed to develop an effective way to reconstruct historical cropland spatial distribution with grid-boxes.In this study,we develop a new way in which the spatial distribution of historical cropland was reconstructed effectively.This approach was built on a reasonable hypothesis that historical cropland was located in the domain of present cropland area.This hypothesis was derived from a feature that cropland area increased all the time generally in the past 300 years.This approach includes two steps:(1) estimating the easiness for reclamation one pixel by one pixel within the cropland domain determined by MODIS land cover product;(2) by descending order of easiness for reclamation,filling in the pixels with cropland from historical inventories;it would not stop until the total area of cropland pixels was equal to inventory cropland area.As a case study,we reconstructed the spatial distribution with a 90-m resolution of cropland in the Yunnan Province in 1671 and 1827 by using this approach.The results show this approach could reconstruct the historical cropland spatial distribution with high resolution.
