Sino-Japanese Economic Relations： A Chinese Perspective

The bilateral trade between China and Japan amounted to US$236 billion in 2007, reflecting an increase of 20.6 percent compared with the previous year, 33 times over the trade volume at the beginning of the reform and opening up. This vast volume and fast growth took place amid China＇s accession into the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001 and increased trade disputes between the two countries, not to mention recurrent foreign exchange rate fluctuations in international currency markets and somehow intensified fears in Japan of China＇s enhanced competitiveness.     

Community involvement and place identity: the role of perceived values,perceived fairness,and subjective well-being

This research aims to discuss the community residents’ place identity to rural tourists site by exploring residents’ perceived values, perceived fairness, and subjective well-being in their involvement behavior. The evidence of relationship among those constructs in theory and practice is provided in this study. With the samples gained from a typical and representative rural tourists site in China, the outcomes of a structural equation modeling approach demonstrated that community members’ involvement at rural tourists site positively affects perceived values and fairness; they, thereby, contributes to residents’ subjective well-being. At last, subjective well-being plays an effective predictor of place identity to the rural tourists site.     

Toponymy as Commodity: Exploring the Economic Dimensions of Urban Place Names

In recent years the study of urban toponymy (place names) has been revitalized by the emergence of a ‘critical toponymies' approach. This focuses on the cultural politics of place naming and the decisions involved in attributing names to the urban landscape. However, in contemporary cities place names have an economic role in addition to their political role. In particular, there have been recent calls for more attention to the commodification of place‐naming rights and practices. This article seeks to respond to these calls by addressing the issue of urban place names as commodities. It begins by examining the naming of sports stadia by corporate sponsors. It then considers a range of ways in which private‐sector interests are increasingly influencing the naming of the urban landscape, from buildings and neighbourhoods to individual streets. Even the material signage that identifies street names can be appropriated within branding and promotional strategies. Moreover, urban place names are increasingly incorporated into a range of commercially produced spatial datasets collated by private companies. The article ends by proposing a number of directions for future research into the economic role of urban place names and the commodification of toponymy more broadly.     

Exploring the Dimensional Relationships among Image Formation Agents,Destination Image,and Place Attachment from the Perspectives of Pop Star Fans

This study tested a conceptual model in order to examine the role of specific image formation agents in forming destination image and place attachment from the perspective of pop star fans. By examining each construct’s subdimensions, the significant path analysis results supported the proposed model and offered a holistic view of the relationships among the variables, thus extending the literature. Findings suggested that autonomous image formation agents have d3istinct roles in forming destination image and place attachment in comparison with induced and organic agents. The findings highlight the important role of destination image in mediating the relationship between image formation agents and place attachment. This study further revealed a direct impact of image formation agents on place attachment dimensions. Meaningful implications for destination marketers are presented.     

品牌文化认同对区域品牌产品购买意向影响研究

从消费者视角探讨产生区域品牌效应的品牌文化认同前因,并将文化认同细分为认知性文化认同、情感性文化认同与评价性文化认同,试图分别考察3种认同对购买意向的不同影响,以及3种认同是否存在相互影响的关系。实验选取4个区域品牌作为研究对象,进行预测试修正问卷后,通过对随机拦截的方式获得392份有效问卷,利用AMOS软件分析3种品牌文化认同产生的区域品牌效应及相互之间的影响。研究结果表明,品牌文化认同与消费者购买意向显著正相关,评价性文化认同的影响效果最强、认知性文化认同影响最弱;且认知性文化认同需要通过情感性文化认同和评价性文化认同来影响消费者购买意向,其与购买行为相关不显著。     

细叶百合的组织培养研究

探讨细叶百合(Liliumpumilum)鳞片不同切段的培养效应;结果表明,最适合鳞片分化的激素组合为MS BA0.5mg/L NAA0.01mg/L;不同部位鳞片分化小鳞茎的能力大小依次为外层、中层、内层;对鳞片分割处理可显著增加单个鳞片分化小鳞茎的数量,分化能力大小依次为下部、中部、上部;4年生鳞片分化能力最好。     

零售企业顾客感知差异化因素及惠顾意愿的形成

顾客对零售商感知差异化的构成维度包括感知商品差异、感知服务差异、感知环境差异及感知促销差异。感知差异化对惠顾意愿的影响机理可概括为感知差异化—购物价值—场所依赖—惠顾意愿四阶段。实证结果显示感知商品差异、感知环境差异及感知促销差异与享乐性价值有正相关关系,感知环境差异和感知促销差异对功用性价值有正相关关系,感知服务差异没对享乐性和功用性价值产生显著影响。此外场所依赖对购物价值和惠顾意愿起着中介作用。     

空间、失序与犯罪——西方环境犯罪学研究综述

西方环境犯罪学研究可以追溯到两次世界大战之间在芝加哥社会学派内部进行的重要的犯罪学研究。威克斯卓姆对斯德哥尔摩警察记录犯罪进行了研究,很好地说明了犯罪在大城市的位置分布方式。费尔森、克拉克、科恩等发展了机会理论与日常活动理论来解释犯罪与环境的关系。西方学者亦研究了犯罪人对空间的看法与使用、不文明与犯罪的关系以及＂破窗户假说＂,得出了有益的结论。     

大陆赴台自由行游客地方认同与休闲效益关系研究

台湾是许多大陆游客向往的休闲胜地, 大陆游客赴台自由行热度的持续升温, 这既给台湾带来巨大的旅游经济效益, 更可增进海峡两岸的民间交流和人民情谊。文章通过实证研究探讨大陆赴台自由行游客对台湾的地方认同及其在台从事休闲活动所获得的休闲效益等程度表现的差异性, 并检验地方认同与休闲效益间的相关性。研究表明, 大陆赴台自由行游客对台湾的地方认同以环境认同程度最高, 依恋程度最低, 其在台湾从事休闲活动所获得的休闲效益以社会效益最高, 生理效益最低;不同个人背景与游程规划的大陆赴台自由行游客在地方认同与休闲效益程度方面有显著的差异;地方认同与休闲效益间呈显著正相关且彼此间存在典型相关关系。研究成果可作为海峡两岸旅游职能部门及旅游企业完善休闲法规、环境与产品组合的参考。     

Movie Tourism—A New Form of Cultural Landscape?

Tourism originally was perceived as visitors travelling, whether within their own country or internationally, for pleasure. However, over the years, tourism has evolved into different components and labels. One is Movie Tourism. Although people have travelled due to novels they have read or historical occurrences, it would appear that movies based on these aspects have increased visitation. It would seem that Movie Tourism could be a new form of cultural landscape. Over time the appeal of destinations has grown and altered from the preconception that movies portray to audiences. It could further be perceived that Movie Tourism is connected to nostalgia and identity. A yearning for what life was or should be like, creating identities within historical settings, imaginary and/or factual. This paper is a discourse on the aforementioned and the tourist dollar value that Movie Tourism contributes to a country's economy.
