Construction of an indicator library for cities’sustainable development

Cities are key to countries’strategies for achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals(SDGs).In China,evaluating cities’sustainable development(CSD)processes and abilities requires establishing an indicator library for cities’sustainable development(ILCSD).Based on the SDG framework,and referring to typical evaluation systems and international standards,this study proposes an ILCSD,aiming to promote new urbanization and high-quality development in China.Using a step-by-step“eliminate-replace-augment”indicator selection method that takes mature indicators from existing standards for city evaluation,we form an ILCSD that responds to the SDGs while meeting China’s specific needs.Using the ILCSD,cities can select a set of indicators to assess and monitor their strengths and weaknesses.Through empirical analysis,we verify the feasibility of using ILCSD to construct a CSD evaluation system for Beijing,China.For the first time,ILCSD has established a mapping relationship between the core indicators from domestic and foreign standards of city development and the SDGs.It provides a tool for cities in different regions,at different stages of development and with different endowment types to select high-quality indicators according to local conditions,effectively solving the“last mile”problem of SDGs implementation at the city level.In the process of implementing indicators,we further suggest that important indicators with incomplete statistical data should nevertheless be included in the scope of cities’statistical monitoring.This study’s findings can facilitate China’s contribution to global sustainable development indicators and to future revisions of international standards.

A Cognitive Approach to the Formalization of City and County Names in China’s Hunan Province

There were mainly six types of formalization models found in the study for 95 city and county names in China’s Hunan province,namely,the environment in a place for the place,the wish of the nomenclator for the place,the relative position of a place for the place,the resident for the place,the legend for the place,and the function of a place for the place.In the six formalization models,environment in a place for the place was the most in number,forging 47 names.Besides,the wish of the nomenclator for the place and the relative position of a place for the place came the second,taking 20 names respectively.The cognitive operation participating in the formalization was primarily single metonymy with only a few complex metonymies.Metaphtonymy could be only noted in the model of the wish of the nomenclator for the place.It was notable that single metaphor was missing in the cognitive operations.

The Differences between County,County-level City and Municipal District in the System of Administrative Divisions in China

Administrative division is an important means of political power reorganization and management,resource integration and optimal allocation,which profoundly shapes the spatial layout of urban development in China.To clarify and compare differences between counties,county-level cities and municipal districts is the primary premise for the study of administrative division and urban development.This paper analyzes the institutional differences between counties and county-level cities,as well as counties,county-level cities and municipal districts,from the aspects of organizational structure,urban construction planning,land management,finance,taxation and public services.The research shows that the establishment of counties,county-level cities and municipal districts adapt to different levels and stages of economic and social development,and the conversion from county to county-level city and the conversion from county(or county-level city)to municipal district are both important transformation ways to change their administrative systems,which has different management system and operation pattern.At the same time,the transformation of county-level administrative region is also a“double-edged sword”,we should think about the administrative system as a whole to decide whether it should be adjusted,and effectively respond to the actual needs of local economic and social development.

Constructing a standard system of city sustainable development assessment technology based on the SDGs

Given the rapid development of China’s new urbanization,cities with different locations and varying functional positioning,resource endowments,and development stages have insufficient scientific and applicable technical tools for implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).City managers and policymakers must urgently establish SDG benchmarks to diagnose city development.Moreover,successful experiences from similar cities regarding sustainable development and self-improvement must be learned from to promote diversified,sustainable development across the country.Furthermore,emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence,the Internet of Things,big data and 5G are widely used in smart cities.Therefore,there is a growing need for“knowledge-based,personalized and intelligent”technologies to support monitoring,evaluation,and decision-making processes facilitating sustainable development in cities.This paper uses standardization as the theoretical support and technical basis.This approach can help clarify the sustainable development processes in China and clarify the evaluation results of and provide data on horizontal city comparisons,which can be used to develop evaluation technology for sustainable development in cities and construct a standardized system.The results provide a standard framework for intelligent assessment and decision-making regarding cities’sustainable development capabilities in China.Evaluating major international standardization institutions reveals that the practices of Chinese national standards should be fully absorbed and integrated to guide the evaluation of smart,resilient,and low-carbon cities.To this end,an indicator library of city sustainable development is proposed to provide standard evaluation technology methods.Finally,analyzing the response relationship of the indicator library to SDGs reveals the need for a standardized knowledge map of sustainable development assessment techniques and methods from the perspective of integrated management for sustainable development in cities.

石家庄市县域科技创新与经济发展耦合协调关系时空演变

选取石家庄市13个县域单元作为研究区域,构建科技创新能力和经济发展水平评价指标体系,计算评价指数,测算两者的耦合协调度,使用ArcGIS绘制空间分布图,深入剖析科技创新能力、经济发展水平以及两者耦合协调关系的时空演变特征。研究发现:全市县域科技创新能力和经济发展水平呈现较强的正相关性,且都在2010—2017年间提升速度较快,而在2019年之后提升速度呈减慢的趋势。2010—2021年经济发展水平指数均高于科技创新能力指数,但后者提升速度高于前者,表明石家庄市各县域科技创新能力滞后于经济发展水平,但科技创新能力的发展势头较好。2010年以来,全市县域耦合协调度呈现上升趋势,但耦合协调度与科技创新能力和经济发展水平的变化趋势相似,即2018年之前的提升速度要快于2018年之后。2021年,全市县域耦合协调度等级为“勉强协调发展”,协调发展水平较低,有待进一步提升。

区域一体化如何影响县域企业市场势力——兼论全国统一大市场下企业竞争优势重构

在国内大循环发展背景下,通过区域一体化减少地方保护和区域壁垒,是构建全国统一大市场的重要举措。本文以撤县设区这一准自然实验为对象,基于企业成本加成率,分析区域一体化对县域企业市场势力的影响与机理。研究发现:撤县设区改革降低了被撤并县(市)企业的成本加成率,减少了县域企业的市场势力,促进了县域竞争。机制检验显示,撤县设区通过提升被撤并县(市)企业进入率和减少政府补贴提高了企业边际成本,从而降低了成本加成率。异质性检验表明,撤县设区主要降低了垄断性较强行业、非普通地级市和市县产业同构度较高的县域企业的成本加成率。另外,本文还发现撤县设区改革期间被撤并县(市)企业进行的产品创新、技术创新和服务创新越多,其成本加成率增加越多。本文的研究表明,在国内大循环背景下,区域一体化通过引入竞争削弱了欠发达地区企业市场势力,但域内企业可以通过增加产品、技术和服务创新重构竞争优势,进而从总体上推动经济高质量发展。本文不仅能丰富区域一体化和县域城镇化研究,也能为欠发达地区企业竞争优势重构提供一定参考。

整体智治理念下县域综合行政执法改革的逻辑基础与规制路径——基于对龙港市“一支队伍管执法”的观察

在全国综合行政执法改革实践中,“一支队伍管执法”主要集中在乡镇(街道)层级,县域“一支队伍管执法”是龙港市推进新型城镇化综合改革探索的创新实践。龙港市综合行政执法改革遵循“不建机构建机制,不增层级增协同”的原则,遵循条块协同、整体智治理念,将专业化、数字化、科学化嵌入改革全过程,使法治、协同、效能、服务为民等价值属性统一于县域行政执法领域,形成独具特色的“市直管社区”综合行政执法地方实践。整体智治作为政府数字化转型背景下基层治理模式的创新实践,其核心逻辑表现为将制度和技术嵌入治理过程,重置治理结构、重整治理资源、提升治理质效。构建综合行政执法整体智治的治理机制,通过“执法队伍—执法手段—执法程序—执法监督”全过程闭环、多维度规制路径,能够有效破解当前县域“一支队伍管执法”在执法理念、体系构建、体制重整、规范配套及队伍能力尚存短板的难题,保障县域综合行政执法改革成效。
