农民工市民化:现实困境与权益实现

农民工问题是第二次转型背景下亟需解决的关键问题。解决农民工问题,就是要实现农民工由农民向市民的转变,即农民工市民化。残缺的市场主体、公共产品的边缘人以及失范的利益表达,既是农民工市民化进程中所面临的困境,也是进一步阻碍农民工市民化的因素。赋权基础不稳固、维权方式不健全等权益缺失问题,是造成上述困境的根本原因。这就需要对农民工市民化中的权益予以重构。同时,将完善农民工权益保护的法律体系和强化农民工权益保护中的政府责任,作为权益实现的主要路径。     

“西江经济带”文化发展的世界图景

当下世界经济全球化和文化产业经济的历史发展必然趋势,为西江经济带文化发展绘制了鲜明的世界图景：现实存在的软实力竞争国际环境,使得西江经济带文化发展作为一种文化软实力而发挥特殊作用;世界城市文明形态从“政治型城市”、“经济型城市”向“文化型城市”的转型,赋予了西江经济带文化发展的文化产业绿色经济内涵;世界范围内的城市群战略规划,在推动西江经济带以城市群形态进入国家战略框架的同时,凸显西江城市群与文化生态之间的矛盾,生态优先战略由此成为西江经济带文化发展特别关注的命题。     

基于因子分析与聚类分析的城市设施水平综合评价

对2010年全国31个省(市、自治区)的城市设施水平进行因子分析和聚类分析发现,东部及沿海地区等经济较为发达的省份,城市设施水平较高;中西部地区等经济落后的省份城市设施水平较低。因此要通过大力发展中西部经济来提高中西部城市设施水平。     

Residents' place image: a cluster analysis and its links to place attachment and support for tourism

While there is a plethora of studies segmenting the lucrative tourism market, limited attention has been given to identifying potential segments of local residents based on their image of the place they live in as a tourist destination. This study aims to address this gap by (a) clustering local residents of a tourist destination based on their images of that place; and (b) identifying whether those image-based resident groups share similar/different levels of place attachment and intentions toward tourism (support for tourism, intention to recommend it to others). Analysis was based on a sample of 368 residents of Eilat, Israel. The findings suggest the presence of three resident groups with different images of Eilat – called Nature Aesthete, Appreciator, and Critical – and provide support that these groups exhibit dissimilar levels of attachment and intentions/behavior toward tourism. The Appreciator (residents with the most favorable image) were reported exhibiting higher levels of place attachment, support for tourism and were more likely to recommend their place to others as a tourist destination than the Critical (residents with the least favorable image). The implications of these findings to tourism theory and practice are discussed.     

Reciprocity between soccer events and visited destination in a border context

ABSTRACT

The study proposes a conceptual model based on hypothesized relationships among team fanship, satisfaction with the event, and host city as antecedents of behavioral intentions in the United States–Mexico border context. The analysis used data from 290 visitors who attended three soccer games of the Xoloitzcuintles team of Tijuana. The results revealed (1) the emotions felt at the visited destination had significant influences on fanship, satisfaction with event venue, and intentional behavior; (2) fanship and event satisfaction do not seem to influence the visitors’ intentions to return and recommend the visited place; (3) gender and duration of the stay showed a significant moderating function.     

Being Good Parents or Being Good Citizens: Dilemmas and Contradictions of Urban Families in Middle‐Class Enclaves and Mixed Neighbourhoods in Germany

In recent years, cities have become ever more attractive to middle‐class families. On the one hand, middle‐class families tend to withdraw into (often newly built) socially homogeneous middle‐class neighbourhoods. On the other hand, they are also known to move into inner‐city and socially mixed areas, thus triggering processes of gentrification. Academic literature has often denounced these housing choices as being either ‘separatist’ or ‘revanchist’, more broadly categorized as strategies of ‘middle‐class disaffiliation’. Although there is a grain of truth in these interpretations, the reality is certainly more complicated. In our research on middle‐class parents’ housing and neighbourhood choices as well as their patterns of neighbourhood use, carried out in each of the two types of residential area mentioned above, we have only very rarely found an explicit desire to draw boundaries that exclude those ‘beneath’ them. We rather argue that the housing choices and neighbourhood‐related activities of middle‐class family households are heavily influenced by the specific dilemmas the interviewees face as (working) urban parents. While a significant number of respondents worry about the social sustainability, justice and cohesion of urban society, they are also concerned about the future prospects of their children. Many find it difficult to reconcile these conflicting normative demands under the prevailing circumstances.     

Effective HR implementation: the impact of supervisor support for policy use on employee perceptions and attitudes

Abstract

Effective implementation of human resource (HR) policies appears to depend on supervisors’ active involvement in the intervention process. Following recommendations of a recent intervention evaluation framework, we examine how perceived supervisor support during the implementation of a work-life intervention helps to change participants’ perceptions of organizational family supportiveness, and how this ultimately changes participants’ engagement and turnover intentions. A three-wave longitudinal study in a professional services firm (N = 434) that has formally involved supervisors in the process of a work-life intervention showed support for our study hypotheses. Supervisor support for policy use influenced employees’ positive work–home culture perceptions, which in turn strengthened employees’ work engagement and diminished their turnover intentions over time. We discuss practical implications and give recommendations on the future design of HR interventions and related policies.     

特许权价值、最优关闭策略和存款保险定价

随着存款保险制度的推出以及金融机构退出机制的完善,国家声誉将逐渐退出银行无形资本。在激励相容的金融监管趋势下,特许权价值等市场约束力量会显著影响到商业银行的风险承担。在此逻辑基础上,以我国16家上市商业银行为研究对象,一方面探讨特许权价值影响下不同产权结构的商业银行的最优救助机制,另一方面通过最优救助临界指标,利用银行重组模型,推导合理的存款保险风险差别费率。

洛阳是中国的八大古都之一,在武则天时期有着特别浓郁的政治色彩。武则天一生中有49年是在洛阳度过的,在称帝后的15年间就有13年是在洛阳。由于武则天特别钟情于洛阳,在她的经营下,洛阳不但与长安并为唐王朝的东、西二京,而且发展为仅次于长安的国际性大都市。繁华的都市推动着城市旅游的发展,尤其是武则天时期的洛阳都市旅游,其丰富多彩的节庆旅游、不同阶层的旅游主体、多种类型的旅游服务业等,在唐人好游之风的助推下,充分彰显出盛唐气象下都市旅游的新亮点。     

Challenges faced by world tourism cities – London’s perspective

World tourism cities perform multiple functions and exhibit various characteristics that influence tourism development within their boundaries. They are the main gateway for tourists visiting a country and their success has a direct impact on the visitor economy of that destination. London, the focus of this research, has been one of the world’s top tourism cities for many years, and a key gateway for domestic and international visitors. But despite the important role tourism plays in the economy of the city, there is limited research on the development of this activity in the capital. Using London as an exploratory case study, this paper contributes to better understanding the challenges faced by policy makers when planning and managing tourism in world cities. The adopted research method offers the advantage of gathering insightful information using multiple data collection techniques. Examining this new evidence contributes to expanding the knowledge on the particularities of tourism development in one of the top world cities, which could help policy makers in their efforts to better prepare for potential challenges faced by these complex but important destinations.
