秦皇岛市第四方物流发展前景研究

秦皇岛市是国务院1984年认定的全国首批14个沿海开放城市之一,其交通条件和地理位置对物流业的发展十分优越。河北省"十一五规划"也将秦皇岛列为十大物流基地,但就其优质的物流资源而言,我们关注这个城市能否加速超车、将物流变成经济强劲增长的引擎之一?本文从这个角度探讨了秦皇岛能否在河北省率先发展第四方物流(简称4PL),以使物流成为支柱产业。本文讨论了秦皇岛发展4PL的基础条件、必要性、具体举措,研究内容对于其他城市也具有一定的参考价值。     

基于地统计分析的住宅价格空间分布格局研究——以扬州市区为例

在分析扬州市商品住房交易数据基础上,设立标准住宅,通过三种插值方法的比较,最终确定运用Kriging技术对扬州市主城区住房空间分布格局进行研究。研究表明:①从总体趋势看,研究区住宅地价总体呈略显扁平的椭圆状结构;②城市交通轴线对住宅价格导向性作用明显,突出表现为文昌路沿线价格明显高于周边地区;③商业中心对于住宅市场充分发育有明显推动作用,表现为形成了以城市商业副中心为核心的住宅区峰值集聚;④环境条件优越的城市公园周边住宅价格优势明显,表现为瘦西湖、明月湖、曲江公园等城市公园周边价格相对较高。⑤交通型主干道、河流对房价的分异作用。     

科技型人才聚集核心城市空间影响力研究

以科技型人才聚集区域为研究对象，创新性地引入复杂网络确定科技型人才聚集核心城市，并结合威尔逊模型和场强模型测度科技型人才聚集城市的辐射效应。研究发现：我国科技型人才聚集具有较强的空间异质性，呈多层级“核心—外围”区域分布；科技型人才聚集核心区域辐射范围、辐射强度存在较大差异。进一步地，给出我国科技型人才聚集核心区域分布情况及辐射效应强度，并据此对相关区域提出优化人才结构的政策建议。     

Assessing the sustainability of tourism-related livelihoods in an urban World Heritage Site

The relationship between UNESCO World Heritage Sites and tourism has been described as a double-edged sword, with the benefits of tourism countered by its adverse impacts. To the extent that tourism-related livelihoods are dependent on World Heritage status, the loss of that status may have significant adverse effects, especially for poor people. The Sustainable Livelihood Framework has been used to analyse the development, or otherwise, of rural communities in poor regions of the world. This paper uses this approach to examine the urban poor of a World Heritage Site in Thailand, The Historic City of Ayutthaya. As a consequence of tourism and urban industrial development, not only has there been conflict between the urban poor and the Thai government within the designated heritage area, there is also conflict with the neighbouring industrial zones. This has resulted in fears that World Heritage status may be lost. Viewed within DFID’s Sustainable Livelihood Framework, lack of capital and little community participation are factors which contribute significantly to an unsustainable livelihood. However, this research concludes that using self-reliance as a measurement of people’s livelihood to determine ‘sustainability’ is inappropriate in an urban-tourism context because people living in urban areas rely heavily on external sources.     

珠三角城市群物流竞争力评价

以珠三角城市群物流产业竞争力为研究对象,进行城市物流竞争力评价指标体系构建,采用因子分析法和聚类分析法对样本变量数据进行评价研究,进行城市物流竞争力影响因素分析,从量化的角度了解珠三角城市群物流产业状况。结果表明,广州和深圳物流竞争力很强,东莞和佛山物流竞争力较强,惠州、中山及江门物流竞争力一般,珠海、河源等8个城市竞争力较弱。通过对评价结果的分析为珠三角各城市明确自身物流产业现状提供参考,也为各城市物流产业未来的发展提出了若干建议。     

Urban greening: A new paradox of economic or social sustainability?

Cities globally have incorporated sustainable development into their planning, and led the way in responding to the world’s ecological crisis by “going green”. Urban green space accessibility is considered as the key to urban sustainability progress, not only environmentally, but also economically and socially. However, previous research rarely considers the latter two dimensions together. This study therefore joins the sustainability discussion from a new perspective, in particular the debate concerning the value of urban green spaces and whether and how they contribute to the variegated sustainability agenda? Based on data for 76,595 residential housing units in New York City, measuring the economic gains and equity losses from current urban green space accessibility reveals a paradox in sustainable development where the economic and social benefits of urban green space accessibility are seldom compatible, tending to involve a trade-off of some kind. In response, it is proposed that the spatial patterns of land use can represent a step towards multifaceted aspects of sustainability, with the provision of numerous small green areas that are “affordable and accessible” throughout the city being a more appropriate policy agenda than a few vast parks. Such a policy approach, it is argued, will provide a ‘win-win’ situation in terms of simultaneously contributing to both economic prosperity and the social justice of sustainability. This research also provided evidence for the institutional-driven countries such as China on how to learn from western experiences on planning land use patterns that are sustainable for individuals.     

地方金融发展能够影响FDI的区位选择吗?——一个基于城市商业银行设立的准自然实验

本文以城市商业银行的设立为自然实验,结合1990-2015年中国295个地级市数据以及成立的184家城市商业银行,运用双重差分方法系统考察了地方金融机构对FDI区位选择的影响。研究表明,城市商业银行的成立显著促进了城市FDI的流入;经过一系列稳健性检验和进行倾向得分匹配(PSM)估计之后,这一结论依然成立。结合企业数据证实城商行的设立提升了企业从银行获得贷款的可能性,能够通过缓解企业融资约束而影响FDI的区位分布。对城商行兼并和异地扩张行为的进一步分析表明:城商行经营规模的扩张,无论是对属地还是异地城市FDI的促进作用均不明显,而城商行资金规模的扩张对FDI有明显促进作用。这些发现将为我国完善金融体系和升级银行业结构、吸引FDI促进区域经济协调发展提供理论和经验支持。

An empirical Coasian study on the socio-economic profiles of two politically sensitive informal settlements: Kowloon Walled City and Rennie’s Mill

Informed by the “corollary of Coase Theorem” (Lai and Hung, 2008; Lai et al., 2007), for a better understanding of the self-help post-war development of two politically sensitive and vanished places in Hong Kong, the so-called “Kowloon Walled City” (Lai, 2016; Lai and Chua, 2017; Lau et al., 2018) and Rennie’s Mill (Lan, 2006), which have attracted academic interest but remained under-researched in terms of empirical scrutiny, this study:

• •Identify and compare their institutional arrangements by archival research;
• •identify and compare their development outcomes, as measured by census and other official data including mapping and photographic information, supplemented by published oral history of witnesses; and
• •establish and discuss the relationship between the differences in institutional arrangements and development outcomes in terms of a landlord-tenant analogy.
