Garden tourism: reasons for opening private gardens in the UK National Garden Scheme

As both private and public spaces, gardens are a major source of leisure activities in the UK and a way of life for many British citizens. As garden tourism is increasing in the country, there is an urgent need for more knowledge, particularly regarding the motivation of garden owners. Using a qualitative approach, this paper presents the owners’ perceptions of the garden and examines the role of the garden in garden opening during the open days. Although the significance of charity openings (in many cases with personal and local interests) is undoubtedly a manifestation of the success of the National Garden Scheme, this study reveals that participation in garden opening differs according to the person’s motivation, varying from charity support and community engagement to social reasons, community creation, age resistance or nostalgic reasons.     

晚明江南造园中黄石叠山的兴起及其原因探析

晚明江南园林开始兴起使用黄石来叠造假山,明末清初以后,黄石被大量运用到造园中,形成了与太湖石分庭抗礼的局面,这是晚明至清初江南造园的转折中一个细微但重要的变化。梳理其兴起的过程和影响,并从多方面来探究这个现象背后的影响因素：除了石材资源与成本的影响外,晚明造园画意原则引导下叠山技法的变革是主要的原因,其背后还有当时社会审美思潮的推动。     

预防性技术采用元分析及其对创新鸿沟跨越的启示——以可穿戴医疗健康设备为例

区别于增值性创新,预防性创新为采用者带来的收益难以直接观察,创新决策过程较少得到学者关注。为探索预防性创新接受行为的关键决定因素及其对在创新扩散过程中影响大小的变化,本元分析以可穿戴医疗健康设备为例,基于技术接受模型及其扩展模型、隐私计算模型、创新扩散理论与健康信念模型构建了概念模型并收集了28项研究对假设进行检验。研究结果表明:①本元分析中选取的变量可有效预测用户预防性创新的采用;②随着投稿年份增加,态度、感知有用性、感知易用性、绩效期待、努力期待、社会影响、便利条件、娱乐动机、信任、兼容性、顾客创新对使用意愿,健康信念对感知有用性之间的显著关系逐渐增强。此外,感知益处、感知隐私风险也显著影响使用意愿;③随着创新产品的扩散,用户对产品提出更高要求。     

从古典园林到现代园林——探究现代环境景观设计

中国古典园林曾盛行一时,即使在艺术风格趋向多元化的今天仍占有极其重要的地位。既然如此,我们就更应该从园林的产生及其发展的整个过程来探究中国现代园林艺术应如何发展。     

“体”与“宜”——论《园冶·掇山》分类中的二元体系

分析了明末中国造园专著《园冶》中掇山篇的分类，并探求了其如此行为之目的及动机，挖掘如此方法之思路。计成对于假山之分类采用了2套体系：一者以假山所在之环境分类，即“宜”；另一为所构成假山本体之各个器官部分，即“体”。如此分类，可体现作者独特思路：一方面展现了作者立足于实际营造，利用深厚的实际营造设计经验反哺理论；另一方面可使得掇山的重点更加全面的被点明，而不会有偏颇之虞。

节约型园林不仅是园林行业响应中央提出建设节约型社会号召的发展方向,也是对数十年园林发展实践的总结定位,是对今后发展方向的一种指引。目前,建设节约型园林绿化在全国各地城市建设中已经形成了共识。节约型园林的核心是节地、节水、节财。     

Formation of new property rights on government land through informal co-management: Case studies on countryside guerilla gardening

Extant research on guerilla gardening, defined as the unauthorized cultivation of land belonging to another, has hitherto focused on public space in urban areas, neglecting those that occur in rural settings. This rural land policy study examines a form of guerilla gardening in the countryside in Hong Kong, carried out by specific walker communities who routinely do early morning walks. Most of the gardens they have cultivated have become part of country park protected areas. This study identifies five phases of land use status evolution undergone by these morning walkers’ gardens (MWG), from the time the phenomenon of guerilla gardening in the countryside began in the 1960s to recent times, illustrating the role of land use change in enabling squatters with a degree of property rights by way of informal land resource co-management. Through the three case studies presented in this article, it is argued that MWGs can represent the emergence of incipient forms of natural resource co-management in Hong Kong. This study emphasizes the important role of resource user leadership in enhancing the land use value of land in itself and for the wider community. Some recommendations are provided to enhance resource user participation in land resource management.
