To overcome the impact of insufficient raw material supply on the supply chain in mass disruption scenarios, this study proposes a novel RSCS considering product design changes (PDC). An RSCS domain model is first developed from the perspective of PDC based on a general conceptual framework, i.e., function-context-behavior-principle-state-structure (FCBPSS), which can portray complex systems under unpredictable situations. Specifically, the interaction among the structure, state and behavior of the infrastructure system and substance system is captured, and then a quantitative analysis of the change impact process is presented to evaluate the resilience of both the product and supply chain. Next, a case study is conducted to demonstrate the PDC strategy and to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the RSCS domain model. The results show that the restructured RSCS based on the proposed strategy and model can remedy the huge losses caused by the unavailability of raw materials.展开更多

It is worth while to note three new trends: the emergence of mega-urbanization regions; the rebuilding of a closer tie between the Chinese urban systemand the global one through the development of the global cities; and the polarized development in hinterlands and peripheries around advanced economic regions. However, the research literature onChinese urbanization in English has shown the scarcity of good databanks and the analysis results areincomplete. Using the most complete and latest data, this paper reviews the change of China’s designated cities before and after 1949. This paper also seeks to examine the various policies and explorethe underlying factors that have affected the growth of the new cities.展开更多
