Hierarchies and priorities in regional energy-environmental planning

This article is devoted to an analysis of hierarchies and priorities in energy-environmental policy making. The approach to dealing with conflicting issues in regional energy-environmental planning centers around selection of activities, according to a set of derived priorities subject to constraints reflecting interdependence of these activities. After an exposition of the prioritization problem, a method of accounting for the interdependence of activities is discussed.     

契约型区域规划的困境

在行政性分权的市场环境下,规避或漠视地方间利益冲突是指令型区域规划失灵的根本原因。契约型规划强调规划是集体行动的契约,倡导构建一个不同利益主体表达、交流的平台,以减少规划实施过程中各自为政的阻力。基于利益博弈的视角,分析了区域规划的跨区性、综合性特征与规划实施的可操作性之间的内在矛盾,指出随着地方政府数量和规划内容的增加,区域规划成为集体行动契约的可能性越小,其实施的可操作性越低,契约型区域规划难以使城市合作摆脱囚徒困境。     

都市圈规划:地域空间规划的新范式

Computer-assisted planning for regional health care programs

In designing programs to improve regional health care, it is often necessary to synthesize hierarchies. Notwithstanding the fact that the health care milieu is highly complex, this process is frequently dealt with intuitively resulting in fragmented and redundant programs. It is proposed that formal procedures which relieve the individual of much of the complexity in developing programs and arranging their structure can contribute to improve understanding of the system and effectiveness of program design.This paper presents a rational approach to computer-assisted program design utilizing binary matrices and elementary Boolean operations.     

Qualitative discrete multiple criteria choice models in regional planning

The paper provides a concise review of evaluation methods for decision problems in which qualitative data is involved. Special attention is paid to a new qualitative evaluation method: the regime method. An application of the regime method is given in the field of multiregional conflict analysis.     

联邦德国区域规划的协调机制

区域规划与管理是区域联合及实现区域一体化的关键.为了借鉴他国的经验,详尽地阐述了德国区域规划的概念,并重点从规划程序的法制化、专业部门和地方的规划关系、区域规划的组织结构等角度对区域规划的协调机制进行了讨论,总结了区域规划组织的实体化、通过法律协调各类规划、注重规划过程的协调性、规划的一致性和延续性等方面的可借鉴之处.为了说明德国区域规划的实施效果,最后介绍了德国斯图加特都市区通过区域规划协调解决城镇发展无序和土地利用不经济的案例.     

Territorial dynamic,innovative milieus and regional policy

The change in the hierarchy of regions, observed during the past 20 years, is mainly due to development phenomena, which originated within these regions themselves. The concept of innovative milieu enables us to understand better these phenomena, because it is based on the assumption that there are specific territorial dynamics capable of setting up territorial development of innovation. This paper recalls the origin of the concept of innovative milieu, which is relatively new in the field of regional science, and it aims to give an accurate definition of this concept. Furthermore, the paper shows that the concept of innovative milieu allows regional policy to be considered from a new perspective. In fact, if the territory is not given a priori, but built thanks to the dynamics of the milieus, one can consider that regional collectives have the possibility of promoting and initiating real territorial development.     

The use of control groups in evaluating regional economic policy

A major difficulty in measuring the impact of regional policy is the identification of what would have happened in the absence of the policy. Regional science may benefit from the use of quasi-experimental approaches. The specific method presented here combines the concept of control groups with the widely used shift-share framework for evaluating regional policy. Control areas are selected on the basis of their similarity to the aided region in the pre-policy period. The resulting method is sensitive to changing cyclical conditions and other exogeneous factors and traces out the time pattern of impacts.

Monetary policy implications of housing shift-contagion across regional markets

This paper extends the shift-contagion concept to housing price returns in order to examine co-movements between pairs of regional housing markets in the US. It associates nonlinearities of housing prices with the monetary policy criteria at disaggregate levels. The framework with Markov-switching volatility in Gravelle et al. (Journal of International Economics 68:409–423, 2006) is utilized to investigate housing contagion phenomena which are defined as the switches in the structural transmission of common shocks across regional housing markets. The empirical results suggest that interactions between regional and nationwide housing markets switch across low-volatility and high-volatility regimes of common shocks for the Northeast and the West whose housing price returns are nonlinear. In addition, there is the significantly time-varying interdependence between the West and each of the other three regional housing markets. The estimated indicator of the monetary policy effectiveness implies that monetary policies can be effective in the Northeast and the West because they are more closely linked with other regional housing markets in volatile phases which are subject to housing crises. Noticeably, the broken interrelationships between regional housing markets and real economies in the 2001 recession imply high vulnerability to housing bubbles for regional markets, while short-term monetary policies can be effective in stabilizing the housing market turmoil around 2007.     

城市规划优化决策理论与方法研究论纲

一、城市规划优化决策研究的重要意义　　城市规划是指根据一定时期城市经济与社会发展的目标,确定城市性质、规模和发展方向,合理利用城市土地,协调城市空间功能布局及进行各项建设的综合部署和全面安排。从特点看,城市的社会、经济、环境等各项要素互为前提,互相制约,城市规划需要对城市的各项要素进行统筹安排,使之各得其所,协调发展,具有很强的综合性;城市规划中许多重大问题的解决都必须以国家有关方针政策为依据,具有很强的政策性;城市规划要根据地方特点,因地制宜地规划、建设与管理,具有地方性;城市规划既要解决当前建设问题,又要合…     

都市农民的二次分化与分类社会保障对策

都市农民工在城市产业分工体系的影响上已经出现了具有层级意义的二次分化,由此产生了对社会保障需求不同层次的差异性,存在实施分类社会保障的现实可能性.因此,按照城乡协调的科学发展观的要求,城镇社会保障的制度扩展与制度创新应该依据都市农民工的分化状况有序地进行城乡社会保障制度的对策.     

A planning model for regional systems of CT scanners.

For the last couple of years the number of CT scanners has increased considerably in the Federal Republic of Germany. This development has led to regional disparities in the provision of CT scanner installations. For the purpose of evaluating additional locations for CT scanners a planning model is proposed. The model contains two planning options: the number of CT scanners and the regional distribution of scanner locations. It allows one to calculate overall operation costs and transportation costs, as well as additional criteria relevant to decisions about regional systems of CT scanners. The model has been applied to the northeast of Baden-Württemberg. One of the interesting findings is that an increase in the number of CT scanners may result in lower total costs for a regional system of CT scanners.
